To celebrate 3 years of The Project we are hosting the first official CaB TV Games Tournament. The contestants are Delete, Flouncer, Phil_A, the & Right Said Brett.
They will all be competing for a £20 Amazon Gift Card and – more importantly – the internationally recognized title of King Of Games.

The tournament will last approximately 4 hours and consist of many rounds (as many as we can squeeze in.)
Each round will consist of a primary objective or criteria involving one or more games from a set list of over 100 Mega Drive titles. Some challenges will include penalties and some will include bonuses for fulfilling a secondary objective.

hedgehog90 will officiate and may only be referred to by contestants as The Supreme Master of Games (or alternatively The Hog Master). Each contestant will stream directly to hedgehog90 who will present the streams on a single screen. He will set the challenges in a dedicated Discord channel for contestants and on screen for viewers.

hedgehog90 will have the final ruling on any disputes and his decision is final.…

hogTV is back this Thursday at 5pm with a jam-packed X-mas special!

I’ll be showing 2 films, starting with the Laurel and Hardy feature, March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934).
Having never watched a Laurel and Hardy film I cannot tell you if it’s any good… but it does include a nightmarish depiction of Micky Mouse.

Afterwards, a personal favourite of mine, sure to melt your hearts and induce a tear or two – A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945) – Elia Kazan’s first feature film and an adaptation of Betty Smith’s coming-of-age novel.

In amongst the lot there’ll be the usual smattering of stuff – some vintage toy commercials, songs (including an extraordinary rendition of Jingle Bells by some singing dogs), season’s greetings by various Santas, Christmassy idents and a brief appearance or 2 by a certain real hedgehog…
