A mammoth struggle behind the 4042.com scenes....

In case you've missed it, we've been adding to the list of games here on 4042.com and the play has been furious! A number of 4042er's are locked in a struggle to reach and maintain the high score in various games.

Our current high score holders are:

Mini Golf - "jbg8" tied with "bigen" at a score of 39000

Solitaire - "troop" with a score of 45560

Soduko - "bigen" holds the lead with 46300

Bouncing Balls - "P" with an amazing score of 60200

X-Box? We don't need no stinkin' X-box!! Game on!

 

Some people have wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much time on their hands.

 

I double dog dare you to tell that to my hubby.

Yeah the guy who stayed up past 11pm last night playing stupid f'n Xbox live!!! :roll:

What a loooooser.:lol:

 

Well, if your DH is, so is mine! He's already finished the new Halo 3, and that stupid game was $70 for the limited edition one. :shock:

 

Yeah Hubby finished it too in 3days after having it. :roll:

A bunch of family is coming down this weekend for baby bro's wedding. HA, I can see it now!

Does your DH play online?

 

Yep, mostly with his brothers, they are all losers, LOL. J/K if you see this honey!

Oh, and my sis's DH beat it in 5.5 hours, he's the biggest loser of all, he was TICKED!

 

OMG 5.5 hours (I'm assuming straight through) of playing Halo!! :lol::lol:
We need to set the "boys" up for a play date!

Does the little earphone pieces they talk into trip you out or what?
When he walks outside to take a smoke break I look at him and say "Thank you for call AT&T how may I direct your call..."

He'll wave at me and point at it like they can hear you too honey! I care.

 

Oh yeah, a play date sounds like fun for them, LOL.

The earpiece IS pretty funny! What's even funnier is my 8 year old on there! He was beating the adults the other night!

Before anyone jumps on me, the game is not "bloody" and it's "guy time" at our house. All the brothers and cousins get on at the same time, great bonding time!

 

My kids finished it in 2 hours. They love Halo live. My 18 year old is playing it right now. God, he needs to go to school full time. I just cant afford it.


oh yes, that ball game on here is cool.

 

You guys are scaring the dog poop outta me! Oldest DS wants a gaming system but we have put it off for THIS reason. I'm more worried about DH living on it. I mean, I can discipline DS, but DH....hmmmwell....I guess I CAN do that too - if need be. :lol: j/k

 

Back in the day, I bought my kids a Nintendo. My wife become ever so upset with me when I would pull an all-nighter playing Zelda.

 

Well the method to my madness has been Battlefield 2. I am so addicted it is not funny. I have the headset to (Yes I am a geek). I even bought the expansion packs.

 

Since I seem to be among the top 1000 somewhere I may never see the top 50 names listed. :lol:

 

The Solitaire thing, I just can't figure out. I can't figure out how it's scoring differently, that's why I lost my #1 spot! LOL

And that bouncing balls thing is too danged addictive. I think I'm gonna get fired for playing it too much.

 

I may need an assistant in about a month - more details at lunch :mrgreen:

 

I can't get some of the games to come up on my computer..any help?

 

:shock: not me. Not sure if there's special software you need on your computer or not.


Ken? Webbie?

 

Solitaire doesn't come up on my computer in Firefox, but it does in IE. All the rest of the games work for me in Firefox. No clue why that is.

 

Yep When hubby got tired of Halo2 he got back into Battlefield... he got the joy stick thingy, which I am sure it will come back out of storage. :roll: He's a real shoot'em up freak too.

And OMG Zelda! I haven't played that in years BUT we just got hubby's old Nintendo system back and he has all the games. Zelda, Contra, Contra 2, Duck Hunt, Galica (sp)... many more.
Him and the kiddo are lovin' it.

So many choices so little time!:lol:
