I'm sure the guy used to post on here. You're quite right, I did! Erm...do. I play this quite often with my pal and in that particular post on y/t, as you can see, the questions were very easy, (certainly to begin with), and so the JP was pretty attainable. The debate re the Bonus Cards on PMP is q...

True, but sometimes PINTS will throw up 3 bonuses so you don't have the option to answer a dicey question!

Bonus

YES - the bonus can 'kill' you. Just yesterday, a friend and I were playing PINTS and we're seasoned pros. We followed the only card that would maintain our game and it turned over displaying YA BARRED. This has occurred several times in the past couple of weeks, so the creators have NOT ensured tha...

Taking the cake

If you get 'The Cake Is A Lie' and anything like 'Twin Peaks' or 'The Wire', then you're probably not going to JP. However, the likes of 'A-Team Episodes', 'Hindu Gods' and 'Oscar Winning Films / Composers' are usually good indicators that the game is there for the taking. Istenem - I can give you a...

New Pints JP'd!!

And so it came to pass - after a month of uttering expletives and conveying bewilderment at the outlandishness of the new categories, the fiendishly difficult PMP has been beaten! I must mention that this achievment provided me with a tangible tinge of exhaltation that was followed by waves of wonde...

PMP

And there's more...'Diseases of the scrotum'. Sounds like a load of b******s to me!

Having said that, I managed to complete this subject a few times as the phrase is normally made up with the word 'scrotum' or 'scrotal' and then it's a case of guessing the medical term, not usually too difficult.

Hex Maniac Cash Prize

The cash prize also seems to depend on which version of Appeal you're playing. I get it on itboxes quite regulary, but have never seen it on a paragon for example. I've never seen a cash prize on Maniac. Enjoyed my first cash prize on Hex Maniac a couple of weeks ago during a £1 game - an instant £...

The new categories appear at the beginning and then inter-mingle with the traditional subjects: Castles, Stars, Apple Varieties, Inventors etc. These established categories then come to the fore a la 'old pints' as you reach the higher prizes. More of the new fiendish topics have been revealed inclu...

Pints update

Hey grecian. The update has appeared on that very same system - the one with the new £50 Battleships JP and By Any Means. As for further categories, there are more, but they were very outlandish and based on some kind of satire rather than fact. Interesting times ahead if like me, you enjoy scoring ...

NEW PINTS MAKE PRIZES CATEGORIES

The dreaded update to Pints Make Prizes categories has occured - has anybody seen how heinous the new subjects are?

Hex Maniac

Has anyone won more than £6 on the £1 version? I'm not sure I've even seen a figure beyond that. Yes, I've collected £10 on at least 5 occasions and even saw the £12 cash icon a couple of times! Just last weekend I secured 'Cash Prize' on the bonus for the first time and I've been playing it since ...

Hex Maniac

Have only seen this on GamesNet recently. The prize structure is similar to that of Appeal, with a £2 incremental progression on the £1 game version, basically your cash doubles due to the stake, so your first award will be £2 instead of £1 for the 50p game. The graphics and sound are different, (al...

Hexpert and his hextra-ordinary lists

I and a friend like Hexpert, have devised a fairly conclusive list of Hex answers apart from Abbreviations, (spelt Abbrieviations on the game!), Welsh Male and Female Names, Surnames and Computer Languauges cos we can always play around these subjects. The only hiccup we used to get was when an answ...
