Nope. Don't seem to have that one.

Note to all: I'm not encouraging requests for games, BUT if you have a request, including the following information will increase your chances of a favorable response:

1. Date game was played
2. Names of all three contestants
3. Link to the J-Archive record of the game

When I have to search for that information myself just to do someone a favor, I get cranky.
okay no problem.

Any chance of getting Friday night's game? I was assuming it would come on tonight, since all the episodes in L.A. were delayed by a day, but then we saw the first minute of Friday's episode at the tail end of the middle-of-the-night WWTBAM from last night. It turns out college football is pre-empting the usual Saturday showing.

Would it be possible and not-too-gauche for me to preemptively request a recording of the 2017-09-27 episode? I can't reveal much about it of course, but I think I can say that player 2 will bear a striking resemblance to my avatar. :D My local station tends to play local ads instead of the closing credits, which is terribly annoying even on a normal night.

But of course. A high quality copy is one of the free services provided for boardies. (Well, your first 10 games are free. After that, I have to charge you.) The reddit guy is fine for people who just missed a show. When it's your own gorgeous mug up there, you want something a little higher def. If I don't post a link within 12 hours of your show, I probably just forgot you were special. PM me and I'll get it done.

A guy who looks like Alex Trebek is going to be on the show?

Oh yeah well I think that guy is going to be on like the whole season. I bet he works for the show or something.

I notice that Vimeo no longer lets viewers download the videos. That's too bad. I get around this with a Firefox add-on called FVD. It also exists for Chrome, Android, and I'm not sure what else. A search for <FVD Video Download> should turn it up.

If that doesn't work, here's a direct link to an mp4. Anyone who wants it should download it soon-ish. I'll eventually remove it because it takes up a ton of space.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8o84 ... XZRd1NvQTA

If you click the Download link, Google will inform you that the file is too large to scan for viruses. So you'll have to ask yourself one question. "Do I trust the penguin?" Well? Do ya, punk?

Today's game is uploading. Should be ready in 30 minutes or less. I'm tired and headed for bed, so in the hopes that there are no glitches, here's what should be the correct link:

https://vimeo.com/236509065

SMALL WARNING: (Edit: Warning no longer necessary.) Vimeo will choose a cover pic at random since I'm not supervising the process. This pic MAY SPOIL SOMETHING ABOUT THE GAME. AVERT YOUR EYES AS YOU CLICK!!! I.e. you might see a certain clue revealed or what the scores are at some unidentified point in the game or even the correct response to FJ. There's no telling what Vimeo will do.

Also, a reminder that Vimeo no longer includes a download link. If you Google <FVD video download> plus your platform/browser name (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Android), you may find an add-on/app that will allow you to download the game anyway. Otherwise you'll have to be content with streaming it.

Reddit-guy for J!. Unless you've already found it. Let me know when you've got this and I'll delete.
