Conspiracy time.

Bing's new video gave a new clue to the conspiracy of time traveler among us.

For years, people have been questioning about how Bing dislikes Doctor Who ,but seems to have fascination with time, like the PBFB project.

With this video, I can safely say... Bing is a time traveler.

Of course, how could it not be! Of course, Bing doesn't like Doctor Who because it gives a false impression on time travel. Bing knows that time travels are not about swashbuckling adventures... it's more manipulative and cunning.

Bing has traveled all this years trolling our daily lives. Number 42? That was him. All the conspiracy? That's was him tricking the people to believe something otherwise.

Bing working for Google... all covert mind-control. I could feel it in the air as Bing posits an idea of Bing to a Microsoft worker.

I thought I had all the clues. But the truth is more than that. Kim is a time traveler, too.

Behind the mugs and the sarcasm, don't you realize she can do everything?

She can climb, she can sing and do fancy movements. She also has a deep wisdom not commonly possessed by an 18-year old.

She doesn't even age either. Have you Kim looking different than way she looks now?

It's because she's immortal. And probably a time traveler. She has literally done everything and got bored and decide to live a life as a college student in Cardiff. Because she knew Doctor Who films in Cardiff and answer is closer than you think.

Obviously, Bing and Kim were buddies and went around trolling the universe. And there's Lindsey, who is actually Kim in a alternate universe, in which paradox brought her and stripped her of Kim's awesome power and spend her life constantly trolling her... tilll the end of eternity.

Everything has been coming true. And don't get me started on EBO stuff. Man, you'll be freaked out when you see that theory.

(By the way, Emily Graslie is not a Time Lady. She's a companion as best; she looks and acts like a companion.  She doesn't have that mystic quality that time lords, like Bing and Kim, have. She's wholesome and playful, two great characteristics of a companion.)

Today's watch.

One of reason I'm started using YouTube was to watch game shows. I loved game shows and still do today. But there's some game show don't deserve my love.

One of them was Temptation. More specifically, 2007 American version.

Story of this atrocious game is a long one as far back to 1969.

Jack Kelly (yes, Bart Maverick) was down on the dump after Maverick was canceled in 1962 and some guys decided to pick him up and let him host a game show... that would combine the fast pace of auctions and the tension of buzz-in quiz shows. The show was called 'The Sale of the Century' and realizing that he is an actual actor Jack left in 1971 and was replaced with Joe Garagiola Sr. who left the field (and the show) in 1975 to support the Ford presidential campaign (much to later dismay).

But that's just pretense to 1983 when veteran game show host Jim Perry (of Card Sharks and Definition (cue Austin Power theme, which is reference to game show mentioned)) took the helm and revive The Sale of the Century (Bah-lop Bah-la!)

The show's quick pacing and quick-witted host along with some humor and epic tension made show last for six years before closing the door to the American audience.

(Break: It's a nice little show, not a classic people remember but a damn good one nevertheless. The rules were simple... here's some money and five dollar gain if correct, lost if incorrect and you can bargain for prizes and in the end there's a speed round which raise tensions to the max. The winner go on the bonus game, which frankly changed every few years... Did I tell you this was highly fast-paced?)

But not to the world! Some mind, namely Reg Grundy, decided to take the show underground and add some mini-games and show lasted for 21 years from 1980 to 2001, having two great host to boot!

Australian were missing the show so much, they decided to revamp (by removing most of the mini-game, therefore basically identically to the 80's US show) and re-title it Temptation and it was massive hit and ran for 4 years.

With this massive hit, America has no choice but take it and do it for themselves...

And oh boy, how did it mess up the game.

The show was notoriously choppy and host just being dry and not being there... seriously! It was least watched show in all networks for some time and it limped her way to oblivion.

So, here's a show from it...

(Oh, did I told you it featured Trisha? And that was point of this whole post? I didn't think so?)

Catchphrase...

Like the Doctor, I usually want to give a catchphrase for each Vidcon.

The first VidCon was the awkward vidcon. No one knew how this internet convention worked and there were still some kink to kick out.

The Second Vidcon was the cramped vidcon. Lots of more people in that 'tiny' hotel and everywhere there
was noise and shouting.

The third vidcon in contrast was the expansive vidcon. Everything was bigger, but nothing necessarily changed... in my view the best vidcon out of four.

The fourth vidcon.... this vidcon, I want to name it fangirl vidcon or fangirling vidcon... but seeing the recap videos and other feeling, I might have a different name.

Homesick vidcon.

I wrote three sketches for vidcon and one didn't need a script because it was a rendition of 'Where everybody knows your name' or the 'Cheers' theme song. And that's what vidcon is for people... a home for a half a week.

That's why fangirlling was so much discouraged... it'll be weird to have fangirls in your family reunion...  even if the fangirl is also member of your extended family. Actually especially if your fangirls are part of your extended family... (ew.)

So, that's I got from the recap videos.

Vidcon was great... right?

I obviously didn't go to Vidcon. But I heard a lot about it! So I wrote some sketches!

First one solves the problem of just too many things! (with consequences)

Second one refers to the previous post.... it's slightly more coherent.

Hope you like the sketches and I want to write more!

Funny Thing about Lizzie Bennet Diaries is...

I am strangely obsessed with Lizzie Bennet Diaries. I don't really care for the plot, (I don't really care for Austen) or the things inside the vlog, but rather what's outside the vlog. The cast, the production, the legacy.

It also makes YouTube connection game that much easier.

If you forgot what YouTube connection game is, it's just Kevin Bacon's six degree of separation just with YouTubers. Strangely, you connect the two together.

(Rhett and Link have Bacon Number of 3, for example.)

First of all, I knew Maxwell Glick (Mr. Collins) was Spencer in LG15.
(Also, how did Max turn from Traveler from Household Hacker to Corrado from ApprenticeA?)

That makes connections to Hollywood world a little easier.
(Jessica Rose is from Greek for example.)

But the best connection comes from Darcy himself, Daniel Vincent Gordh.

I also knew Daniel from way back when he was doing this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82aBsRAwLJ8 

Yeah. I know. You may sit back up now.

Anyway, He was a major part of Cracked! There's some famous videos featuring him like Manic Pixie Dream Girl and High School parody (with Fitz, no less!)

And this makes connection to weird parts of the internet real easier.

(Also best thing is that this article by Luke McKinney which featured Hank Green... who knew you'll be stabbing your co-worker's future boss... in the past.)

And with MK Wiles' many series and Laura Spencer being the girl in 'The Water's Fine' makes LBD a giant embrace to all the media. (In more ways than one.)

Sorry for the little disjointedness. There's is going to be a full review... soon... and thanks for reading this haphazard mess. Come better for more succinct thoughts.
