A DisOrDat walking against a heavy wind.
|
Have a Cookie SandwichHere's the news! You can now play two (2) YOU DON'T KNOW JACK episodes each week, which is made up of seven (7) days. The episodes will air on Monday (as usual) and Friday (unusual). This means that some months, a month being anywhere between twenty-eight (28) and thirty-one (31) days, except in leap years, you'll get eight (8) episodes of YOU DON'T KNOW JACK! However, given the placement of the days on the calendar, you could get up to nine (9) episodes in a month, of which, by the way, there are twelve (12) in a year. We know what you're thinking. Isn't it possible to get ten (10) episodes in a month, which can be up to four-point-four-two-eight-five-seven-one-four (4.4285714) weeks? The simple answer is no. Even if a month were to begin on, say, a Friday, the final day of that month would, at most, be a Sunday. So you'd still only get nine (9) episodes in that month - but it would be exciting if that month were July, because the next month (August) would begin on a Monday, which would mean that THAT month would also have nine (9) episodes. Any way you slice it, it's pretty fun math. So, enjoy the two (2) episodes of YOU DON'T KNOW JACK per week. And if you find yourself at any time not enjoying it as much as you'd hoped, we ask that you kindly recall the total amount of dollars that you're paying for it, which is zero (0).

I'm Surprised RULZ didn't have to read this like three times to get a perfect score. I don't know. I was enjoying listening to everyone complain about him/her. I think I'll miss that. I'm so sad. But now, forSubmitted by LoudmouthLee on Tue, 2008-05-20 06:10.
I'm so sad. But now, for your Tuesday pleasure. Cookie Sandwiches are delicious! Score: $4213 ranking: 1/9. This is an easy/simple & Dis or Dat, just decide if it's a YDKJ Host, a type of sweet or BOTH. Yes Cookie, we know that you are a great host, but guys, his name is COOKIE. He's a sweet, too!

HAHA! Beautiful... just, beautiful. Awesome job. ~DELI You guys as JellyvisionSubmitted by dj HaQ on Tue, 2008-05-20 09:18.
You guys as Jellyvision should maybe stop making YDKJ games online for a while. Maybe focus on making an entirely new game. Take all the time in the world.... ;) So what is Cookie doing withSubmitted by cooper on Tue, 2008-05-20 09:31.
So what is Cookie doing with all his days off?? First Nate..and now this...a trend perhaps??? I won't miss the cheatingSubmitted by JST on Tue, 2008-05-20 10:15.
I won't miss the cheating shithead. Will there be a test on thisSubmitted by sinusoidally on Tue, 2008-05-20 10:42.
Will there be a test on this later? I hope not; I'm so hopeless with math. Yes, losing the DoD is sad, but I think I'm going to like two episodes a week more. A Cookie sandwich? Tasty!

Yeah I guess all the people will miss the Daily Dis or Dat. 1st Nate leaving Jellyvision to persue a new job somewhere & now this. Again, what is Cookie doing in his spare time, anyone care to answer that question? Working on whatever they'reSubmitted by ThatDudeOverThere on Tue, 2008-05-20 14:30.

When the site stops being a BETA is when we start having to pay to hear Cookie. There was a story a fewSubmitted by Timberwolf on Tue, 2008-05-20 14:39.
There was a story a few weeks back in the business press saying that Yahoo had just signed some kind of deal to "resurrect" You Don't Know Jack. I don't know what they're planning to do with it, but it's nice to hear. Thanks for the heads-up.Submitted by Lirael on Tue, 2008-05-20 20:15.
Thanks for the heads-up. Apparently YDKJ has struggled to build an audience (which is a real shame) but Yahoo have signed on to distribute the games on their casual games network. Hopefully, for us as well as them, this will make YDKJ more of a paying proposition for Jellyvision. Much as we love to hate him, it's not Rulz that killed the daily DoD. Cranking those suckers out takes a lot of resources, and they've obviously given up (for the time being only, I hope) on it being worth their while. I think that article hits itSubmitted by retroman28 on Tue, 2008-05-20 20:59.
I think that article hits it on the head. People are so busy with the popular MMOs and in my opinion (way over used for the most part) casual genre to care about late 90's era classics from Sierra, Bezerk and Dynamix. Also it wouldn't have hurt if either PC Gamer or Computer Gaming World (aka the now defunct Games for Windows magazine) gave them a nod. Jellyvision you are one of a kind!

Pissed about a Jellyvision post! Here are two (2) ways you can get ten (10) episodes in a thirty-one (31) day month that starts on a Friday: In an analogous way, you can get only seven (7) episodes in February if Jellyvision posts late or you travel east across a time zone or west across the International Date Line. All of this is moot if you are Superman. Well, the tumbleweeds thatSubmitted by geetarcharlie17 on Tue, 2008-05-20 16:48.
Well, the tumbleweeds that roll from Tuesday to Thursday will feel unusual at first, but hey, every monday and friday game: they're all worth the wait, right? Who is JmJBullock and why isSubmitted by ekweizn on Tue, 2008-05-20 17:20.
Who is JmJBullock and why is s/he posting under the guise of Jellyvision? Totally off topic: weird eyeSubmitted by bobtheinsane on Tue, 2008-05-20 18:59.
Totally off topic: weird eye easter egg glitch thing: go down to his cheek bone to get the fire eyes, click and hold the mouse, move up to the bridge of his nose, release the mouse then click again, he'll roll white eyes and then, assuming you move the mouse away from cross eyes position, one will be white, and one will be stuck firey... if that makes any sense.. and hasn't been mentioned a millionion times before...

That. Was. So. Cool! Are there anymore? ~DELI Neat trick: the one-eyedSubmitted by shma on Wed, 2008-05-21 13:13.
Neat trick: the one-eyed Jack. Other than making his pupils dilate you scroll over the 'JACK' with your mouse, I don't think there are any other eggs on the load screen. Something interesting I found though was that Cookie's intro and all the DoD questions (not the answers) are buried in the source code for the page. So if you ever want a transcript of a DoD, it's there for you. Also there's this bit of code which appears in every DoD: Must be some kind of in-joke. I'd not noticed the source,Submitted by bobtheinsane on Wed, 2008-05-21 18:18.
I'd not noticed the source, that's ace... I'd noticed the dilating, but I couldn't spot what would cause it, thanks for clearing that up. Wow, I never thought of whatSubmitted by sakurarocket on Tue, 2008-05-20 22:01.
Wow, I never thought of what would happen once this site goes out of beta. I think I'd actually get a bank account and a card just to be able to play. I love YDKJ like a fat kid loves his cookie (no offense to Cookie :P) Thanks for (4) what youSubmitted by Game Keeper on Tue, 2008-05-20 23:45.
Thanks for (4) what you having done (d1) this much Jellyvision. I would give you a high five (5) but I intend (in10d) to (2) just stay here. It's also nice to get twoSubmitted by Game Keeper on Tue, 2008-05-20 23:48.
It's also nice to get two free episodes every week without a zillion popups... do you have any free, already-won X boxes I can try to claim to make myself feel better? Monday and *Thursday* wouldSubmitted by yellowmoon on Wed, 2008-05-21 07:26.

Wish more people had paid to keep the DoD on, but I understand. Two Jack episodes a week are fine with me. Just keep 'em coming. Oooh I wish I had learnedSubmitted by Spanky McSpankerson on Thu, 2008-05-22 00:12.
