Games People Play

1. Do you like board games? If so what is your favorite?

While not actually a board, my favorite is actually

Dominoes, which (if you've never played) is like playing cards, they're a million games you can play with one set. As actual board games go

Scrabble is probably my favorite regular old board game.

2. Do you like card games? if so what is your favorite?

Euchre is probably the only regular card game that I really like. I like Sequence too, but that's more of a board game.

3. Do you like computer games? If so what is your favorite?

Not a big computer gamer. I play Solitaire or Scrabble on my Palm Pilot. I play SameGame on my TiVo (it's a new option they're testing) but I can't find a rendition that playes exactly the same on my computer or Palm.

4. Do you play role playing games? (EverQuest, MUDs, SIMS, Etc) If so, tell us about the game you are addicted to.

I used to play the Scott Addam's text adventure games (not the cartoonist). And I used to play SimCity and get addicted every so often, but not in a long time.

5. If you do not play games.. how do you pass the time?

Well, I do. But when I'm not I read, see movies, bike, rollerblade and surf the 'net.

Six. Okay, so there wasn't really a 6 but I didn't have a category for one of my favorite games.

It's trivia, has a board and requires a DVD player:

DVD game" target="Scene It? DVD">Scene It? It's the best trivia game out there, games are fast and it's easy to learn.

So Very Orange...

As I decided that yesterday was officially the first day of Winter. And I found this cool fall flickr photo of mimbrava's. I thought I'd blog it as I'm probably going to retire this fall background theme for the season.

so very orange

What are your Top 5 electronic toys you can't live without right now?

Apple 12 inch Powerbook: Software, Internet, Music, Audio Books, Podcasts, eBooks, Movies and more. It's got just about everything I need.

Palm OS Cell Phone (Samsung i500): Phone, Day Planner, Address/Phone Book, a few games, slow internet (but I can get info and check my mail), it'll work as a modem for my computer in a pinch.

Digital Camera (Minolta Dimage Xt 3.2MP): Photos, short Movies, Audio recording and in a pinch it'll work as a thumb drive (I think it'll work as a webcam on a windows machine).

iPod 60GB color (no video): Music, Podcasts, eBooks, my (read only) calendar/addressbook, some eBook files and works as a really big thumb drive.

TiVo (250 GB DVD recorder): Plays TV (what I want when I want), Records what I want every week (and makes suggestions), plays CDs, DVDs, Video CDs, streams audio and photos from my computers. With the new (free) HME options I can check the weather, movie listings, RSS feeds, photo feeds, flickr streams, play games, play my iTunes, back up shows to my computer and more (people keep writing these modules).

All are pretty mullti-functional devices that are converging. The Powerbook + TiVo have pretty similar capabilities and the phone + palm + camera + iPod are certainly sharing some capabilities too. Merge those in to two devices that let me doc them together and life would be good. The only thing missing is a real video recorder (and that's probably coming soon).

I'm pretty covered, I'm not sure what else I need. Other than the newer / faster / smaller versions of these same gadgets, of course (I'd like the iPod video player). Maybe something to power/charge all these gizmos. Obviously I need a TV/projector for the TiVo (and speakers for the surround sound) but other than normal appliances these do pretty good for me.

From Top 5 Friday.
