The (Talkhaus) Price is Right Ep. 4 - HAPPY END !!

Post by YelseyKing »

*classical instrumental music plays*

Image Jackalope: Greetings, Talkhaus. My name is Sir William Furthington the Third, Esq. And I have come to infuse a little bit of class in to your chaotic existence. To start, I shall read passages from my favorite novel, The Wind Over the--

Image Ayjo: Jack. What are you doing here?

Image Furthington: You again? Hmph! This is my show now! You abandoned it! Begone, peasant! And if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, my name is not "Jack"! It is Sir William Furthington the Third, Esq.!

Image Ayjo: Oh. Yeah. About that... you've been cancelled.

Image Furthington: What?! You cannot possibly be serious! I have a contract, !--

Image Ayjo: Sorry. Network's orders. Your boring old novels just weren't drawing in the coveted 18-35 viewership. So. Yeah. You're outta here.

Image Furthington: Y-you cannot do this to me! You uncultured swine! You-- *gets dragged off the set by a long cane*

Image Ayjo: Right. Sorry for that. The jackalope won't be back. Anyway... *clears throat*

*Price is Right Opening Theme plays*

Image Ayjo: Here it comes! From the "Forum Games" section of the Gazebo at Talkhaus, it's the forum's most exciting however-long-this-takes of fantastic prizes! The fabulous surely-more-than-60-minutes Talkhaus Price is Right!

Elgadika, come on down!

Whimsical Calamari, come on down!

Xalnop, come on down!

And bkamakaze, come on down!

Image Ayjo: You are the first four contestants on...
Image
*The Price is Right theme starts playing*

Image Ayjo: And here's our host... YelseyKing!

Yes, yes! Thank you! *takes a bow* It's great to be back! There were some delays along the way, but we're finally ready to go, so let's do this! Bring out our first item up for bids, Ayjo!

Image Ayjo: It's a new laptop computer!

*models bring out said computer on a podium*

Image Ayjo: From Pewlett-Hackard, this computer comes with standard features, 8 gigs RAM, two terabytes of hard drive space, and if I know my Price is Right, California Emission!
Image
Image
Yes, those fancy name tags are back! I trust you all remember how this works. The one who bids closest to the actual retail price without going over wins that laptop, then gets to come up here and play a pricing game for a chance to win even *more*. So. Elgadika gets to bid first, followed by Whimsical Calamari, Xalnop, and bkamakaze, our reigning... worst bidder ever! *audience "awwwwwwws"*

Oh. And if anyone wants to keep me honest by having access to the episode schedule, drop me a PM. I forgot to ask for one this time in the discussion thread.

Re: The (Talkhaus) Price is Right Ep. 4 - Check Game

Post by YelseyKing »

Image
Image
And after quite the delay, the actual retail price of that laptop is... $1,755! Which means... wait. Could it be? Could it truly be?!
Image
Image
Yes! After an episode and a half, bkamakaze is finally coming up on stage!

Now, follow me up to the turntable, and... Ayjo, what kind o' prizes we got for our lovely assistant?

Image Ayjo: How about...

*doors open, revealing a lavish canopy bed*

Image Ayjo: ...a lovely canopy bed! From Rupert the Bedmaker, this king-size mahogany canopy bed is the ultimate in comfort! It comes complete with four posts and a top. Because it's a *canopy* bed. Made from like, some of the finest stuff out there, I'd say. Yeah, I know you were probably hoping for a car or money or something, but hey, this is *practical*, dammit!


Image
*cue groans from the audience*

Yes, it's the pricing game nobody asked for! The ever-popular Check Game! Everyone loves the Check Game, right?

*audience groans louder*

Well, whatever. This game is infamous for completely and utterly baffling contestants, which actually added to its appeal to former host Bob Barker. But in spite of its reputation, this game is pretty simple. All you have to do is write a check for any amount of money. Once you've done that, I'll reveal the price of the bed. We'll then add the amount of the check you wrote to the price of the bed, and if the total of the two comes out to between $7,000 and $8,000, you win the bed, and cash in the amount you wrote the check for. Simple enough?

Just keep in mind that this *is* the Price is Right, and our prizes tend to be kinda pricey. So remember not to go *too* overboard with your check.

*audience groans*

Now, now, audience. Don't be so harsh. Maybe it's... you know, a really cheap bed? Oh who the hell am I kidding? What's the price of that bed?
Image
...yeah. When the check amount is more than the prize, you know you're on your way to... well...
Image
*losing horns*

...that's a lotta money.

I hate to do this, but I have no choice but to VOID that check.
Image
Well. What can you do? You'll be back later to spin the big wheel, and... *tears off check and hands it to bkamakaze* ...you can keep this as a souvenir. Hooray!

We'll be back in a moment.

And it's been a moment. I don't feel like waiting to continue, so let's do this! Ayjo, who's up next?

Image Ayjo: It's someone we've had on the show before, but who didn't have much luck. pholtos, come on down! You're the next contestant on the Talkhaus Price is Right!

Now let's bring out our next item up for bids. Actually, I think it's on the turntable.

*the turntable rotates around, revealing an assortment of cheeses and various other things*

Image Ayjo: It's a cheese-lover's package! We've got more than 40 pounds of assorted cheeses from all over the world, including favorites like Swiss, Cheddar, Mozzarella, and even a few I've never heard of and can't even pronounce. Also, a number of cheese-related tools, such as a pair of cheese slicers, a cheese grater, and a stainless steal fondue pot! All from Cheese Knights Incorporated!
Image
Image
Well now that's a cheesy prize if ever I saw one. *dodges tomato thrown by someone in the audience*

pholtos gets first bid, followed by Elgadika, Whimsical Calamari, and Xalnop. Cheese! o.o

Re: The (Talkhaus) Price is Right Ep. 4 - 1/2 Off

Post by YelseyKing »

Image
Image
And the actual retail price for that package of cheesy goodness is... $846!
Image
Image
Xalnop, get yourself on up to the stage, because we have a rather nice prize, I'd say. Don't we, Ayjo?

Image Ayjo: We do indeed. How about a chance at...

*dramatic music stinger*
Image
Not a bad chunka change, I'd say.

Image
And this game is called 1/2 Off. For reasons that will become apparent very soon.

See those sixteen boxes up there on that podium? One of those boxes contains $10,000. The other fifteen are as empty as most politicians' heads. You have to pick the one you think contains the money! Simple?

Yeah, no. That would be *way* too hard. So let's improve the odds a bit, shall we?
Image
These three sets of small prizes can help you out. Let's focus on the first set for now, shall we? Ayjo, tell us a bit about them. And disregard the other prizes there for the moment; we'll get to them soon enough.

Image Ayjo: First, this coffee maker from Caffeine Kings can brew up to eight cups of your favorite morning drink of choice.

Image Ayjo: And second, this clock/radio, from a company whose name we can't say because they refused to sponsor us, is... a clock. And an AM/FM radio. As a neat bonus, it also allows you to load your own MP3s.

Now. Of the prices shown for those two prizes, one is correct, and the other is half off. All you have to do is guess which of the two is half priced, and you'll not only win both of those prizes, but we'll remove half of the sixteen boxes, greatly increasing your chances of finding that $10,000. Choose wisely!

All right, then. Reveal those prices!
Image
Correct! The clock/radio/MP3 player thingamajig is actually $40! Now, let's get rid of half of those boxes...
Image
Now, you can remove half of *those* remaining boxes via the second set of prizes. Ayjo?

Image Ayjo: This pressure cooker holds up to a gallon and a half of whatever foodstuffs you're interested in cooking quickly. As seen on the Food Network!

Image Ayjo: And also, this 10 gallon aquarium from Ocean Queens, is perfect for fish, frogs, turtles, snakes, or whatever other creepy critters you may want to put in it!

Now, which of those two prizes is half off?

And...
Image
Right again! The pressure cooker was actually $48. Now, let's get rid of another half of those boxes...
Image
1/4 odds are much better than 1/16, no? But we can improve the odds a little more with those last two prizes. Take it away, my feline friend.

Image Ayjo: On the left, we have a cute little toy gumball dispenser. Holds up to 50 gumballs, and you don't even need to insert a quarter!

Image Ayjo: And on the right, a copy of Ubivision's Call of Honor: Medal of Duty: Modern Halo Battlefield of Gears III Platinum Edition 2. Dear gods, they made a sequel.

And you get the jist of this game by now. Two more boxes will get the axe if you can correctly guess which of these last prizes is half-off. Plus, if you get this last prize correct, you'll win a $1,000 bonus for having priced all three sets of small prizes correctly! And this is yours to keep whether you find the $10,000 or not!

Sorry for the late update. Been spending most of the day being, uh, sick in bed with another cold. Hooray Winter!

And again! You've won all six prizes, so let's get rid of two more boxes...
Image
Also, you win $1,000! *hands Xalnop ten brand new $100 bills*

And that's yours to keep no matter what happens... but wouldn't ten times more be nice as well? Now comes the moment of truth... is that $10,000 in box 4, or box 6? Oh, the pressure! Oh, the tension! Oh, the excitement!

All right, then. The lovely Meya will bring that box right down here... now, when I count to three, I want you to throw that box opened. And if it contains the $10k, bills will go flying everywhere!

Now... 1... 2... 3... Now!

*Xalnop flings open the box, but alas, it is empty*

*losing horns*

... ... ... So much bad luck. So, so much bad luck...

*Meya opens box 4, which of course, contains the money*

Image Meya: Oh. Oh! Box 4. Episode 4. I get it. Ha. YK, you jerk.

... right. Well, you still have that $1,000 and a bunch of miscellaneous things, so you're not walking away empty-handed, and hey, you'll be back to spin the big wheel later, so you may make up for that lost cash and then some.

We will return after these important messages from our sponsors.
