[edit] Clintons watch MXC?

This article (http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/entertainment/columnists/jonathan_storm/15965187.htm) states Bill and Hillary Clinton are fans of the show. Any room in this article for that bit of trivia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.76.97.66 (talk) 21:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

If we can get a trivia section up with a few notable facts, then that certinally has a place. Mshake3 02:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks a lot for the split

Once I figure out how to give Barnstars, your gettin one. Tinkleheimer 03:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Major cleanup

I, too, am glad this got split from Takeshi's Castle. MXC's grown into something a bit too big to be a simple subheading under the original. However, I did some major cleanup to the article; first, to clean up any split artifacts (Takeshi's Castle was never directly mentioned, all subsections were one level too deep, etc); then, to go a bit more into detail about the show and clean up some weak parts of the descriptions. But, there are still numerous parts that either need to be properly merged or expanded upon (i.e. some of the information is getting repeated in the Characters section). So, while I think I did a decent job on cleanup, someone else might need to clean up my cleaning up. :-) CaptainSpam 08:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of events?

It would be nice to add the events played in MXC. If somebody start it, I'll be sure to add to it! :) Pabelanger (Talk) 23:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

  • OK, I started the section my self, be kind. Pabelanger (Talk) 01:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
    • The events are fine for now (I'd change it to Games personally). However, with TC having their games on a separate article, this may suffer the same fate eventually. Seeing as how this is an MXC article, and not a Takeshi's Castle article, we should use the descriptions given by Vic, as you've done. However, I'd also include the actual object of the game too. I guess I'm just throwing out ideas. But it's a great start.

Also, this applies to the Character section too. Vic, Kenny, Guy, the Captain, Danny Glands, Em on Em, etc. Mshake3 05:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Working on a table for the section:

Challenge: Tagline: Description:
Boulderdash Pass several stones without being painfully eliminated. Contestants run up a steep and narrow hill. Giant boulders that nearly take up the entire chute come rolling down one at a time. There are numerous slots for the contestant to hide in, but the slitmen will push them out of it. They must reach the top of the chute without being crushed or knocked down.
Bunk Buddies Each contestant grabs a colored chip, if your color comes up your on the bottom. Contestants randomly pick a colored chip and sit on the appropiate position on a giant roulette board. A roulette wheel is spun. If you match the number and color that comes up, you lose.
Cruelette If your number doesn't come up, you win. Otherwise, you pay the ultimate price.
Rotating Surfboard of Death Catch a wave, dodge a dolphin, or die. Contestants have to jump onto a moving surfboard that's rotating in a circle and suspended over a water pit. They must jump over a pink dolphin, run over a platform, jump over another pink dolphin, and finally onto a final platform to win. The obstacles start off far apart, but come up quicker and quicker, forcing the contestants to react quicker.

[edit] Characters

I've started the new character section. I want it to follow the WP:TV guidlines. First we'll start with the main characters (Vic, Kenny, etc). Next we'll have the characters that don't appear in every episode but have at least been given consistant names (Danny Glands, Em on Em, etc). Finally, all of the notable one-time, game-specific characters. Mshake3 05:57, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I'm looking for a site that has some quality MXC screen captures for use in the character section. Mshake3 04:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episodes

Well, following Mshake3 lead, I have started an Episode section. It is a little bear right now, but give it a few days to fill in. Pabelanger (Talk) 21:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
