Archaic Adventures as an Amberite, Avengerphile, & Ancestral Agent

Welcome... I am Cal Westray. A fan of various TV shows. A player of Role Playing Games. A computer programmer and web designer. A husband. A father. A grandfather. And perhaps a little more. I focus specifically on Amber Diceless Role Playing, The Avengers TV show, and Westray Genealogy. And a smattering of other things.

MXC on Spike TV


I am hooked on MXC and I'm a member of a support group:
http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/MXC/

Our resident celebrity is known as "The Green Teabagger", a baseball player known as Brad Lesley (a former Cincinnati Red, my local team) or 'Animalsan'. He was a cast member of the very cool game show "Takeshi's Castle". Brad's page is: http://www.animalsan.com/

The MXC crew (was: Most Extreme Elimination Competition) bought the film and have redubbed and redone the clips into a different and hilarious show. The show is now called MXC!
The MXC site is on Spike TV:

More detail can be found on MXC at TVTome at:

The crew of MXC is a highly talented and imaginative group of writers and voice-over artists. The names of the characters and contestants are all made up. The 'hosts' of the show are Vic Romano (Victor Wilson) and Kenny Blankenship (Christopher Darga). The gent that starts the games is Captain Tenneal (John Cervenka). There is a chap that interviews the contestants and introduces the games, and his name is Guy LeDouche (John Cervenka). There are other LeDouche's that fill in for him occasionally. All female voices in the show are performed by 'everygirl' Mary Scheer and she has a fantastic range of voices.

And I enjoy portraying the Yahoo Group's "MXClusive field reporter, Cal LeDouche". Members of the Yahoo Group enjoy the zaniness of MXC and all the bizarre characters. Yes, it is a bit silly.

I really don't need 'help' to break free of this addiction. No patches, pills, hypnotism, implants, or gum. What I 'need' is for them to release the DVD set. That's all I ask.

Please?

Now, join me for the MXC cheer:
"Don't get eliminated!"
