It's not about "IF" you put your finger there. It's whether or not you liked having your finger there.

Norwegian named Monopoly champion A 19-year-old Norwegian is $20,580 (£12,200) richer - in real money - after sweeping the board at the World Monopoly Championships in Las Vegas. Bjorn Halvard Knappskog, playing with the iron, beat rivals from 41 countries to take the prize money - equal to a game's bank reserves. It took him just over 40 minutes to beat the battleship brandished by Geoff Christopher of New Zealand. He said he was "the most surprised you could ever be" after his victory. "I think this was a really good final. It was the best game I played in the whole tournament," Mr Knappskog told the Associated Press in the ballroom of the Caesar's Palace hotel. The players, using the Atlantic City version of the game, were all champions in their home countries. Translators were on hand to help the competitors stick to the rules and negotiate property deals. Additional rules and an extra "speed dice" meant the game was over rather more quickly than the average contest. 'Nimble Thimble' Oleg Korostelev, 24, from Russia was first out of the game, followed by Rick Marinaccio, shattering the 26-year-old US lawyer's hopes of becoming the first US champion. After a series of swaps and purchases some of the hundreds of spectators considered risky, Mr Knappskog finally rendered his New Zealand rival bankrupt with a $1,600 rent demand on North Caroline Avenue. Mr Christopher, known to his supporters as the "Nimble Thimble", said his usual strategy of "accumulate, negotiate and dominate" had not worked this time. "I thought I'd got myself into a really good position, but the dice didn't really go my way," he told Radio New Zealand. "The guy that won it had a huge bankroll. I was just sitting there with a few houses on my orange set and he ended up finishing me off." Monopoly was first launched in 1935, with the championship running periodically since 1973. Mr Knappskog said he would spend his prize money - equivalent to the total reserves of the Monopoly bank in each game - on a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon before returning home to Oslo.

Online gaming has been about your upload speed. Download speed is helpful to a point. Once you get to a certain speed it equals out. But it's about how fast you can upload info.

I just got this today. Says I have a relative in Malaysia and he died in the Tsunami and I could get $18 million. SOLICITOR'S OFFICE LOT. 165, JALAN PUTRA, TAMAN TUN RAZAK MALAYSIA Email: jimleon.firm@9.cn I am Jim Leon, an attorney at law. I discovered your email and information through internet search, I know this sounds like a scam because of lot of activities going on the internet. But I assure you that this is real. A deceased client of mine, that shares the same last name as yours, who died as the result of a heart-related condition in March 12th 2005. His heart condition was due to the death of all the members of his family in the tsunami disaster on the 26th December 2004 in Sumatra Indonesia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake I have contacted you to assist in distributing the money left behind by my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this deposit valued at Eighteen million dollars (US$18million dollars) is lodged. This bank has issued me a notice to contact the next of kin, or the account will be confiscated. My proposition to you is to seek your consent to present you as the next-of-kin and beneficiary of my named client, since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Then we can share the amount on a mutually agreed-upon percentage. All legal documents to back up your claim as my client's next-of-kin will be provided. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from many breach of the law. If this business proposition offends your moral values, do accept my apology. I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinary confidential, whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response. Please contact me at once to indicate your interest. I will like you to acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail as soon as possible via my private EMAIL :(jimleon.firm@9.cn) and treat with absolute confidentiality and sincerity. I look forward to your quick reply. Best regards, Jim Leon Attorney at Law

First Lucky, we love ya and welcome to UF but you are a "post whore" and that's said with love Second I have to find a video a buddy made years ago, he had a half hour conversation with his toes, ON CAMERA. He's laying there, wiggling his toes and video taping them and the whole time it's "Hi guys......Hi there.....Helllooooo" I wonder if he still has that?

I've given it to a couple in the can but never received it. I'm not into Lime so not really for me. But I always have it ready to give it to someone in the can if they're ready to receive it.

COWonCRACK heads to the liquor store...
SgtJoeFriday replied to meauxpack's topic in General Discussion
It's like the store was tilted. How long was he on the floor until they came and got him up. Like 3 solid minutes. I'd have gotten some chips and a chair and just watched. -
As always she lies.

I'm not pulling a Shane here but the set up of Horsemen can add a serious kick to the drama level in the game. Sure it's the same maps, but when you're ONLY mission is to stay alive it changes the game a bit.
-
I bet you have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time? J/K With the joke out of the way it's time to say that I missed out on Horsemen last time and the stories told of great battles fought made me swear not to miss the next one.

That's NICE!!

Opeation Flashpoint 2 :Dragon Rising
SgtJoeFriday replied to [SoW] Lucky_Saint-'s topic in General Discussion
Hardcore is where it's at. I've only played a couple maps so far on Normal and one on Hardcore. I love hardcore. If I could change it mid campaign. It says that there's no difference in gameplay between Normal and Hardcore. Only difference is the information on the heads up display. No warning indicators. No way points. No destination identifiers. No compass. Co Op is where it's at though. Too bad I haven't had time to play Co Op much yet. The one time I was able to play co-op we did the simultaneous AT4 shots. Took out 2 APC's at the same time. Counted it down and BOOM!! Really cool. -

Just not for me I guess. Never been into the "co-op" stuff and I guess thats where this game shines. Huh? Not into working with a team eh? lol Co-Op in general is fun. A team of real people vs. team of AI dumb asses. -

SgtJoeFriday replied to [SoW] Lucky_Saint-'s topic in General Discussion
This is NOT A RUN and Gun game. It takes patience. It's takes planing. It takes tactics. This game is what I've been waiting for. This is not a Military "video game". It's a military simulation video game. obviously there's still a game feel or else it wouldn't be out there but what I'm getting at, COD lovers will HATE this. -

No multiplayer? Last reports were saying 4v4 for consoles and up 16v16 on PCs. You're saying it's CoOp and single only? -

LOL. I've been waiting for this game. And not patiently. Not at all. I did some research. I've been on their site and their forums and been reading and checking out videos for awhile. AWHILE!!
