BOOKSCRAPPING

Is that like crapping in books?

But not a spoiler really

Yes, but one for the scrapbook :

Ha! You're in for a shock WG. I've been leaked a sample question set from a forthcoming game (I can't go into any detail, but it's being developed under the working title of "Pavlov's Dog"). Example Question: Q. Shdfhs orqioq dklkfadso.. A. SSS B. HDH C. DKDL The idea is you play so much y...

An emerging species: The SkillBingoBaller aka the 'Winger' (Presumably after winglets found under upper arms?). Tattooed/Dungareed 'female', usually solitary, may be accompanied by a same sex 'friend', never collects - just hogs machine until all benefit money has been blown on making those pesky bi...

Just curious what people are playing in these (IMHO) slumpish times.

My regulars (can't use the word favourites) in order of play-time are:
Pub Quiz
Hex
DOND
WU
Millionaire
Bullseye

Which of these countries has 52 states? I think the Question setters have cleverly picked up on this common Icelandic misconception and given us a question which holds far more entertainment value (at the slight cost of being inaccurate). You must realise these little 'easter eggs' (known as 'dog e...

WUGM is golf with a bucket as the hole, you still need to be good but it is much easier to fluke it.

Some would say a good walk ruined with the added risk of breaking your ankle in the bucket.

Seen one with a sterring wheel where you drive round streets picking up 2p's.

Haven't they based this one on the life of a "Pro"?

I played a new version yesterday, it had a Greyhound Racing game which looked OK. I only won £1 but it was pretty easy. There was a celebrity snap game too but I didn't bother playing it and Dungeons and Dragons is back! But I didn't notice X Factor. Dolan, that really doesn't sound like an ITbox ....

You're not just over-tinctured are you?

Back on the topic of ITbox issues: A couple of questions for those in the know: Is 51 the latest? Have games ever gone out in an issue to reappear in a later issue? Is 31 games + managers choice (32) the most games an Itbox can hold? Whats the deal with issues, do sites have to pay for update to lat...

Damn, it looks like CD has gone on Issue 51, taking a hi-score board full (bar one entry) of me with it before I got to grab a photo of some new 8s & 9s. Hopefully my "backup" itbox hasn't been updraded yet, I've still got a few on there. Any ideas why this has gone? Is it purely down ...

Music Maker Ondes Martenot (no doubt UP knows a professional Ondes Martenot player!) As a big Radiohead fan I could of told you Johnny Greenwood regularly uses one of these bad boys (Kid A album as an example). I'll try and get some Hex playing in next week and see if can drag up some more stinkers...

By my reckoning you'd have stuck 75% of the pins in your fingers anyway.

Grrr. Can I have my vote back then?
