I told myself if I hit a million I wouldn't have to play it ever again.

Go you! Woo-Hoo! :-)

If only I were this good at USEFUL things!

You're evil.

I just thought I'd mention that.

oh geez ... I have GOT to go do something useful, truly! ;)

I think I got this one from lkeele, way back in the mists of time. That means it's all her fault, really, not mine at all. ;-)

cha... bet?

like you'll ever quit. I mean really.
and damn you for linking to that evil game.

Re: cha... bet?

I admit it's very hard to quit while I haven't yet lost the over-a-million game. I don't want to just kill that one.

Is that the one where you have 2 minutes to make as many words as possible out of 6 characters?

If so - Emmett and I have been known to tag team that game on long car trips using the palm - I'm good at figuring out the 6-letter words in my head after he reads me the characters.

Boggle or Scrabble, sometime?

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

That's the one! I'm impressed that you do them in your head. I'm not at all sure I could do that. I recognize them pretty quickly on-screen, though.

I suck at Scrabble because I haven't memorized its dictionary. I know English, not Scrabblese. How does Boggle work? You get a random pile of characters and make as many words as you can within a time limit?

[cyan-blue.livejournal.com]

I haven't memorized the Scrabble dictionary, though I have learned a bunch of the obscure 2-letter words.

Boggle - it's where you have a grid of letters (4x4 or 5x5) and you have a few minutes to make as many words as you can using letters that connect. Look up the game Tangleword(s) on Playsite - same game, with a few more options.

[cyan-blue.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to play a few rounds of Tangleword if you like, tonight. (Slight chance Emmett will need my help with something, but it wouldn't take us long to do a round or two to give you the idea).

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Hi! Didn't see this until this morning. Boggle / Tangleword sound(s) fun and addictive. Perhaps I'd better not get involved in it too quickly!

*Grin*

Speaking of gaming, do you have any time free this weekend? I do, and geocaching would be fun...

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I might. Sunday is empty on the calendar right now. How does Sunday look for you?

[cyan-blue.livejournal.com]

Sunday looks fine! Noonish?

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Sneha?

[cyan-blue.livejournal.com]

Sure!

[eeyore-grrl.livejournal.com]

conga rats!

are you gonna stick with the self deal?

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It's awfully hard to kill that game that's up at a million (I haven't gone ahead and lost yet). I suspect it will be pretty easy not to play for a while once I lose that one.

w00t :)

I told myself if I hit a million I wouldn't have to play it ever again.

You know, I think I made a similar promise to God way back in my teen years, but it was about women. And I'm still in the clear for a little while. :)

Dumb joke aside, congratulations. That's Kim's favorite game, I'll have to check with her to see how high she's gotten.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I've never broken 500K before. This was a heckuva run.

[jupiter29.livejournal.com]

Woohoo. Good for you. I've only played once or twice (except over her shoulder) but I have a feeling my scores would suck. I simply lack the willpower to sit there and find all the little words. I just play until I have the six-letter word and know I can play the next level and then my attention kind of wanders. :(
