by grouch on 12/08/07 : These are great tips. You know most of the joke is not what is said but the delivery. Bad timing is the number one killer of great jokes. Slow down and don't laugh at your own jokes until way after the fact. Practice it until it is not funny to you any more. I never could keep a straight face to people who tell jokes without laughing. ... more »   respond »

by bookmom on 07/06/08 : I love this article. Especially the bit about the "fake horsey" :). You do get sucked into these repetitive tasks that aren't fun at all. My husband once was in a game where he had to mine ore for hours. At some point you have to ask yourself is the time you are spending really worth it. ... more »   respond »

by landmarkal on 07/14/08 : I like some of your ideas but have a few remarks: Step 2. If each player is not happy, well too bad. Why do you throw dice in any game to see who goes first? To give someone an advantage! Step 3. I'm going to try that. Kind of a group effort to choose good settlements. Then you roll to go first and choose your colors around the circle? Step 4. I don't get that. The most resources you would have to bid at the start would be three. That's not very high prices, and what great advantage is three more cards? Step 5. I've seen these online and am tempted to buy some. ... more »   respond »

by VDrums2112 on 05/16/08 : I own 2 skill stop slot machines. One made by Sammy and the other IGT-Japan. They are certinly fun to play and our family really enjoys them. However, although a "skill stop" slot machine leads you believe that you can control what symbol the reels stop on, it simply isn't true. It's all controled by he computer within. It's difficult to hear in a casino on a cruise ship or a noisey international casino, but just after you hit the spin knob you can hear a series of little clicking sounds from within the machine. These are the relays inside that set where each reel will stop no matter when each stop button is pressed. This is done by the computer. Also, if you pay attention to the animations on the LCD screen of these newer machines, you'll notice that they seem to tip you off to a possible payout, replay or bonus round. For example, on my Aladdin II Evolution machine, I spin the re ... more »   respond »

by Osirus on 05/16/08 : Is that true about the relays? I knew they controlled the reels so you couldn't guarantee which symbol it would stop on, but I was pretty sure the timing of your press had just enough delay to avoid a certain symbol, not hit a certain symbol. And yes, it's totally true about the LCD screens; perhaps I should have elaborated more in step 5. :) ... more »   respond »
