Hands on buzzers, it's time for our annual summer game show hosted by @overlordusa.bsky.social ! Watch as Joe and Nick test their knowledge of their own show and prove how little they've retained. The winner gets bragging rights and the loser will complain endlessly to the Judge Steve.

I had a really good time putting together the VHS Explosion Jigsaw Puzzle from @foundfootagefest.com , and I'd like to share some highlights and lowlights with the internet.

Completed jigsaw puzzle with dozens of covers of cursed, misbegotten VHS tapes, compiled by the brilliant team at Found Footage Festival.

A jigsaw puzzle of a VHS tape that says "Popcorn Classics: Nuremberg Trials," with a black and white photo of the trials.

A jigsaw puzzle of a VHS tape that says "Your Cat Wants a Massage!," with a picture of a cat.

A jigsaw puzzle of a VHS tape that says "How to Spot Counterfeit Beanie Babies," with lots of pictures of Beanie Babies. It is unclear whether the Beanie Babies pictured are counterfeit or not, so I guess you'll just have to buy the VHS to find out.

(Go subscribe to @foundfootagefest.com's Patreon, the patrons-only extra video this week is WILD)

A grainy screenshot of a VHS tape. The screenshot shows a bad drawing of a white horse with black spots, being ridden by a snake. The snake has long hair, for some reason. Text above the drawing says "IF SOMEONE GETS YOU KICK AND SCREAM".
