The season finale is tonight. It will feature badly lip-synced calls from Bungie Studios and Jimmy Fallon. I've had quite a day, so I'm getting some alcohol and would like some fellow trivial gangstas to join me in saying goodbye to this season of 1 vs 100.

Rumor is we'll have to pay a subscription to play, next season.

Anyway, hope to get an 8 man posse together for maximum laugh squad fun time goodness!!!!

What time? I might be down for some trivia

Starts at 10 Eastern. That's when I plan to start.

I'll be there!

Darn, I missed it. However the Magic boaster draft was fair more important tonight.

That was un-adulterated fun. I was pretty drunk (an most likely annoying), but that's what happens when you get in the Olympic mood and try a bunch of beers from around the world.

We lost Jonman halfway through the first game, without warning. I've put on my best Scooby Doo hat and decided it was one of these factors that drug him away:

1.Pizza Patrol
2.Drunken Obnoxiousness (I'll take the blame for that)
3.Clem's racism I kid, I kid.
4.Fear of our unstoppable intillect (see what I did there?)
5.The Olympic opening ceremony being on a time delay and starting late on the left coast
6.The al-al-al-al-al-alcohol.
7.Chrometech snuck in his house and ninja'd him in the face so that he could get a spot in our party
8.He hates fun.

Anyway, I had a good time thanks to IAMBANANAMAN, THUNDERBOLTSKI and all of you.

See ya next season.

Good times! You mind posting the names of the beers you were trying? I don't think I'll have much looking for 'Dragon Semen' on google.

Oh, and thanks for the Bananaman link. Jogged the memory, but boy is that hilariously awful watching it now.

No problem. We've got a great little fine wine store by our has that has hundreds of different styles of beer from everywhere. I like to dive in and see what's good.

Gulden Draak - Dragon C*m. Didn't like it.
Bacchus Belgian Ale by Van Honsebrouck -Delicious. A nice sour beer.
Wells Banana Bread Beer -Didn't like it. I think it would have been nice if I'd started out with it, but it was too sweet after drinking the darker beers.
St. Sebastian Grand Reserve -Tastes like copper. Like they scraped the muck off the bottom of a brewery vat. Didn't like it.
Hitachino Ginger Brew -I love the Hitachino White Ale. I refer to it as the Green Tea of beers. This one, not so much. Has the good Hitachino flavor, but not as tastey as the White Ale. Was also $4.95 for one 12oz. bottle.

And a Samuel Adams Sampler Pack including:
Boston Ale
Scotch Ale
Coastal Wheat
Cream Stout
Boston Lager
Noble Pils

The word is 1 vs 100 is gone for good. It was fun while it lasted.

Bummer. I was looking forward to a new season.

Balls. Ongoing 1 v 100 seemed like one really good way to justify Live Gold account pricing.

Same here. I let my Gold subscription lapse, but was going to renew when the new season started. Now I'm only going to renew when the only achievements I have left to gain are multiplayer-only.

It's official, per Kotaku.

That really sucks. There were a number of issues in the game, but it was a fascinating concept that really did seem to reach outside of the typical gamer mindshare. I know a number of people personally, including my wife, that were looking forward to a new season.

Beyond that, this cancellation is probably going to drive achievement completionists who didn't already get the full point total into quite a rage.

Such as this guy.

Seriously, if you played at all, all 12 achievements were incredibly easy to get.

1 v 100 seems like the type of feature Microsoft would want to promote to the "casual" audience they are targeting with kinect. Besides netflix, it seems like 1v100 and similar games could be the strongest case to get the casuals on gold.

This is suuuuuuch bullsh*t.

I never could quite figure out how MS monetized 1 vs 100, but I'm certainly disappointed. It became quite a feature of our evening's entertainment, especially with a couple of friends who live close by.

Darn, I really loved playing 1 vs. 100. I was hoping I could finally be in the mob or the 1 this next season. Now my dreams will never come true!

What are the chances that some kind of game, in a format similar to 1 vs 100, comes back with Kinect?

Sprint must have cancelled their ad buy.

This is really disappointing. I loved 1 vs 100, especially when we'd get a party together and laugh at the silly answer choices.
