Cosmos Challenge

Rex_Mundi has issued an interesting challenge. I had to play him at a game he invented called Cosmos. They game is free and can be found HERE!!! It was actually really fun! It's sort of a strange cross between poker and cribbage, but there's a twist at the end of the game where almost anyone can win, dependng on their strategy and luck throughout the game.

I played a few rounds by myself just to get a feel for the game. Rex was also there in the lobby and was very friendly and able to answer questions. When the time came for us to have a four-way game with two other players, he was pretty patient and explained all the game mechanics to us.

It took me a few rounds to really get the hang of everything, but once I got it, it was a great game. If I can, I'm going to check out the tournament later this month and see if I can win some cash!

A Dozen Eggs in 3 Minutes

SeeScottRock, who is currently one of my favorite challengers, posted a another food challenge called A SLIGHTLY LESS ASANINE EATING CHALLENGE!!!

The rules are:
1.) MAKE A DOZEN HARD BOILED (GRADE A LARGE FROM A CHICKEN, YOU LOOPHOLE FINDING NUTJOBS) EGGS.
2.) SET A TIMER FOR 3 MINUTES.
3.) EAT AS MANY EGGS AS YOU CAN (WHOLE, NO BITES. PUT THE WHOLE EGG IN YOUR MOUTH AND CHEW ON IT, ONE AT A TIME) IN THAT 3 MINUTES.
4.) ONE MONTH OF GOLD PER 4 EGGS. UP TO 3 MONTHS IS YOUR REWARD. NOTHING IF YOU VOMIT.
5.) P.S. - NO LIQUIDS ;-)

And the Reward:
1 month of Reddit Gold.

I have to admit, I thought this was going to be a piece of cake. Boy,was I wrong. I started off strong, but right around egg five or six I hit a wall. I suddenly just got so sick of the taste. I ended up gagging twice during the challenge.

SeeScottRock mentions in a comment that one of the most difficult parts of the challenge is the dryness of the yolks, much like in the Saltine Challenge, but this wasn't a huge issue for me, but I've hardly eaten all day so maybe my mouth was watering? Who knows...

Also, I totally got the guy's name wrong! In the video I call him SeeScottRun! Dude, if you're reading this, I apologize.

Also also, I totally cough up a chunk of chewed egg yolk on about egg #10, I believe! Oh, the shame...

Here's the video!

Failed Street Magic

Temporarily_Alone has issued a challenge

Here are the rules:

  1. Approach people in the street asking them if they want to help you with a card trick, sleight of hand or something.
  2. Set up the trick however you want (have them pick a card or whatever).
  3. Go through the motions of a trick, but at the end it just doesn't work out on purpose (wrong card, sleight doesn't work, etc.). But then you ACT like it was really successful and blew everyone's mind. ("Is this your card?" "N.." "BAZINGA! I did it again, Oh yea!") Then act all pompous and just let the person awkwardly walk away while you are gloating and showing off to the camera and everyone else.
  4. Video needs to be original and made after this post. Don't just link to an existing video from someone else.
The Reward: 4 months of Reddit Gold!

 So here's a video of me just outside of the local college embarrassing myself with failed magic tricks!

Temporarily_Alone said that the more awkward the better, so I decided to have some real fun with the last one. Hopefully, I didnt break any rules...
