How to drive someone mad

How to drive someone mad


1) Arrange your room so that there are two computer desks, up against each other, with monitors blocking the view from one desk to another, whilst leaving enough room for one person to put their hand through.

2) Ask the other person "Would you like some chocolates?"

3) Wait for them to put their hand through, and put three chocolates into their hand (a sugar shelled chocolate like M&Ms, Revels, Minstrels or Smarties work well)

4) Let them see what's in their hand, and then ask "Would you like some more?"

5) Wait for them to put their hand back through, then take another chocolate and tap the chocolates in the other persons hand with it, so they think that you've put more chocolates in their hand.

6) Go back to step 4 and repeat until they work out what you're doing.

Well played, Mrs Raven, well played.

Weird jokes

I sometimes scribble notes on my phone as reminders, things like ideas for videos or for blog posts.

Here was one of them:

What does a cannibal have with bacon?

Fried legs.

I don't know what possessed me to write that down.

Actually I do - I did have ideas of doing a series of short joke videos on YouTube (see the "pilot" below) but I didn't really feel that it had a future.

I don't know if you've seen TableTop, the awesome tabletop gaming show produced by Geek & Sundry and presented by Wil Wheaton, but they've just finished a crowd funding exercise with Indiegogo to pay for season 3 of TableTop, and they've got an amazing $1.4m for season 3 - this also means that they can do more episodes of season 3 than originally planned, and also doing a new RPG show too.  I'm pleased that I was able to contribute a little bit towards the show, plus the amount of perks you get back in return are massive, I think for $20 (about £12 in my money) I've got about five or six perks which is pretty nice.

Play more games!
