    I want Brennan to be a prisoner because the monologues about every injustice would be incredible. And make Izzy a guard just for shits.

      Milgram was rock solid. Zimbardo was a hack.

      It’s basically like an ellipsis. The punchline has been delivered, that this “game” is just imprisonment, but to actually describe imprisonment, you’d need a lot more sentences.

      It is interesting, that it doesn’t use “…”.
      I guess, you’d write “…” when a thought is somewhat complete, whereas here, it’s specifically a run-on sentence that’s being cut off.

      Stanford prison experiment was Zimbardo. Milgrim was the shocking people experiment.

      Edit: I apparently talk about pilgrims enough that my autocorrect thought that was what I meant

        Stanley Milgram. He was also responsible for the “Small World” hypothesis that yielded six degrees of separation.

    There’s actually a UK show called Epic Game Show where it’s a different gameshow format each episode.

      This is taking the intro text from Gamechanger, a game show from Dropout (what used to be called College Humor). They have a YouTube channel, but I believe Dropout is its own network for different shows now and not just YouTube.

      • They have their own paid service now (dropout.tv). It’s about $5 a month. They have a great DnD live play show called Dimension20 if that’s you’re thing. They have some other shows too like Game Changer, play it by ear (like whose line), no laugh newsroom, dirty laundry (people try to guess each other’s secrets), um, actually (a show where contestants make pedantic corrections about nerd stuff), and a couple others.

        They have some scripted stuff but a lot of their shows rely, in full or in part, on improv. So if improvs not your thing then dropouts probably not for you.

      In one episode of GameChanger, the host mentions a few others that they weren’t aware of when the intro text was written: Taskmaster (which is awesome) and Ellen’s Game of Games.

    They have already imprisoned players for about an hour already.
