I hope he somehow uses the break to buy some more shirts. Maybe some that actually fit.

Awesome game. I said Tumblr and was so sure of it though

Facebook was around longer and worth more in 2012, not sure when Twitter launched but it was definitely bigger than that in 2012, Tumblr has also been around forever. Took a little thought but I feel like Instagram was the only real choice of something that wasn't super huge in 2012 but promising enough to be bought for that amount. Sucks to see Alex go, the new champ is really boring.

It was literally all over the news everywhere for like a week when it happened, I'm genuinely surprised that not everyone got it instantly (heh).

Fun article here on Arthur, Alex, and their differences. http://thefinalwager.co/2015/04/21/arthur-chu-alex-jacob-jeopardy-comparison/ Short version: Arthur tried to max his winnings every time, while Alex was more concerned with just getting the win. Also, Alex deliberately stalled when he got the lead.

He killed a minute on a single Daily Double he loving sucks. He'd ring in and then wait the full timer to answer all the goddamn time.

It's just another case of the needs of winning diverging from the needs of being entertaining to watch.

Alex singing the alphabet backwards was already pretty close to "pass".

Alex deliberately slowing the show down still got through almost all the board every single time, which is a lot more than a lot of other groups of idiots can say. I don't think there was a single board that had an entire category left on it, which we've all seen multiple times with other people.

Alex owned for the simple fact that he made big rear end wagers on the DDs and made them pay off. gently caress you if you dislike him for any reason.

My favourite part about Alex is how he's apparently incapable of buying shirts that are under XXL size.
