    Game Changer - Mystery Lie Detector

    Um, Actually, where nerds correct trivial mistakes hidden in statements about pop culture

    Breaking News, where players are newscasters that aren't allowed to laugh or smile at the nonsense on their teleprompter.

    Dimension 20 - The Unsleeping City, a D&D campaign set in modern a New York where most of the population is unaware of the magical happenings around them. D20 actually has several campaigns in various settings (Candy Land meets Game of Thrones is my favorite), but this one has the entire season on YouTube.

    Game Changer is a game show by College Humor, and it's the best game show I've ever seen. The contestants don't know the rules when the game starts and they have to figure it out as they go. Some episodes (and tons of clips) are available on YouTube, but the rest is on Dropout, their paid streaming service.

    Part of the fun as a viewer is trying to learn the rules along with the players.

    Episodes vary from Improve Karaoke to Dirty Santa where you steal prizes or punishments, sight unseen.

    When my oldest was born, I had high hopes that self driving cars would be the norm before it was time for Driver's Ed. With just a few years to go, it's not looking likely.

    Simon is also the guy that wrote the Putty ssh app. I play a lot of the Undead puzzle on his app. (They're also available on the web.)

    Same here, but I'm going to stop using it. Muscle memory had me voting on comments every few seconds and getting the login message.
