    This week's show, originally postponed one day, has been postponed until next week. My partner was diagnosed with COVID over the weekend. She does have severe symptoms, fortunately. We also reside in a townhome which affords ample space. So I will be spending this week tending to her and ensuring she regains her health. To that end, she was prescribed Paxlovid and it is helping her recovery.

     

    The new show dates will be Wednesday, October 26 and Wednesday, November 9. I will then take a short break due to personal matters before returning for a show in early-to-mid December which will be the "Season 3" finale. I hope to return in January for the start of "Season 4".

     

    I'll upload a few videos in the meantime, including a head-to-head video which I planned to air as a segment.

      That COVID is nasty. I have had it once, and it lasted two weeks. Mild symptoms, but it still happened. Hopefully, she recovers quickly. :O)

      I believe so, and I cannot find the episode in my show notes! I need to dig deeper. I do recall it was a pretty faithful translation.

      The only issue was the lack of a second button, so it used "up" instead or something like that.

      I found the side-by-side comparison video (C64 vs. NES) which I featured way back during Episode 10!

      It was a good show last night despite muting my mic late (again) lol! Here's part of the Tournament Roundup segment which featured both Club VCS and the Squad Challenge:

       

      @Sabertooth, @Justin, check it out!

       

      (FYI: The "golden toilet" at the outset refers to the Crap Tournament 14 hosted on CAGTournaments.com. That tournament will feature 12 crappy arcade games.)

    Why, yes, I am spending my Sunday afternoon watching the 2020 Classic Tetris World Championship on Twitch!

     

    https://twitch.tv/classictetris

     

    Spoiler Alert: We will have a new champion this year as 2-Time Champion, Joseph Saelee, lost in the 1st round of the Finals in 5 games.

     

    I will add that watching these young gamers take Tetris to new heights is truly fantastic!

    1. Marco1019

      Marco1019

      The Finals are delayed for the moment due to a power outage...in Indonesia! You read that right! The only non-US player remaining, Nenu, is en route to a friend's house as I type this post. Arda Öcal, one of the hosts of the CTWC, just informed the Twitch viewers of this development.

       

      Oh, and Nenu's opponent in the Semifinals is PixelAndy. Why is this signifcant? The winner of this Semifinal will move on to the Final Match against...PixelAndy's brother, DogPlayingTetris!

       

      Sometimes these stories really do write themselves...

    2. Marco1019

      Marco1019

      DogPlayingTetris, the #1 seed and all of 13 years old, found himself down 0-2 in the Final Match against PixelAndy - his 15-year-old brother.

       

      DogPlayingTetris stormed back to win 3 straight matches including a Game 5 thriller to win the 2020 CTWC!

    You never know what will happen when you go live. This is how the show started tonight LOL!

    (I ended up rebooting my computer & starting over from Segment 1. I was able to salvage the episode thanks to my friends in the chat.)
