This is a novel being written Wiki style. You can edit the story etc. An experimental thing. Could be interesting to see what GLers put in there. Probably every one of the characters will vote to lynch each other...

Quadradius

A game played on a 8x10 board, with 20 pieces on each side. On your turn, move a piece one square horizontally or vertically. Capture pieces by landing on them; capture all of your opponents pieces to win.

An extremely boring checkers variant, right? It would be... if it weren't for all the POWER-UPS you can add to your pieces! Power-ups appear on spaces at random. Collect them by moving onto them; they let you do things like...

Nah, I won't spoil it. Head over there to find out. Felicitous

The game may be a bit too random, but it's still pretty fun!

I found the game here, at jayisgames.com.

Catch 33

Best result thus far... 48 seconds. (after about 10 tries)

L'lanmal · Daedalian Member

3rd try at 33: 33 seconds. Seems appropriate enough to stop.

I'm up to 79 as I type this. I'm taking a break, because #59 makes my mouse hand hurt, and I've done it a lot.

Wasting my morning... I'm on 82 right now, and I can't do it. I'm giving up for now.

so i'm curious, what kinds of best times do you guys have for minesweeper?

my personal bests are 9 seconds for easy, 78 for intermediate, and 411 for expert. On average, intermediate takes me about 100 seconds, easy takes about 15, and expert varies rather largely. If i finish it at all

In '99 I was able to get my expert time down to 58 seconds. I was over doing it a bit.

jesus_saves · Almost Right

Courk · Daedalian Member

My times:

Beginner: 61
Intermediate: 999
Advance: Never won

My expert time history is interesting (to me anyway). When Limited Wish and I were roommates in ~93 we competed regularly. It seemed like right after I broke his record, he broke mine. I'm sure he felt the same way. But we didn't get lower than 180, or maybe 150.

When I was stationed at SIMA here in SD in 99 I got into a similar competition with one of the other POs in the shop. She was good. She would beat me not by a few points but by a dozen or so each time. The last time I surpassed her was at ~70. She didn't try to beat me (or never said anything) after that. I eventually got down to 58, but sadly that was from playing about 1-2 hours straight, days at a time. No wonder the other PO gave up, she was smarter than me. *nudge*

looking at courk's picture, then worm's, It occured to me that the megaman-like minesweeper window had someone else's power, then went back to regular form.

Star Wars toys that never made it

What about The Force ^TM is dangerous for a 3 year old?

groza528 · No Place Like Home

You're kidding, right? Picture a toddler with a lightsaber.

Courk · Daedalian Member

We're not talking lightsabers, we're talking The Force ^TM , just The Force ^TM .

groza528 · No Place Like Home

Alright, then equally picture a toddler making a random gesture and suddenly you're thrown across the room.

Courk · Daedalian Member

Good point.

What would happen if a 4 year old got two packages of The Force ^TM ?

higher metachlorian count.

i really liked the desktop tower defense game jack-ian posted, so i tried a few of the others out there and i found this one. i think it cured me of my addiction to the previous. the layout of the maze is fixed, but there are other variables that require some strategy.
