- 9:48 -- Just thought of something: Where do you think O.J. Simpson is watching this game? Something tells me he doesn't have the Marcus Allen/Ronnie Lott sideline pass. And yes, it's always fun bringing up O.J. Simpson to USC people -- almost as fun as meeting a rich person from Brentwood, playing dumb when they say where they live, then excitedly saying, "Hey, wasn't that where O.J. lived?" One of the underrated perks of living in Southern California. I'm telling you.

I think "gaming" means those role-playing computer games, but I could be wrong. However, I don't play online poker. It's no fun when there's no money involved.

The Halo 2 makeover on Spike TV's Ultimate Gamer was pretty cool.

You can use real money in online poker. My ex-husband used to play with real money frequently.
Or was this a joke that went over my head? |

No joke. I guess I do know people who play online for money. I just don't know why, since everybody cheats (right?). Get two guys who know each other at the same online table, and it's Mike Mcdermott and Worm at the frat house, right?

The sites set up ways to catch people who are cheating, but you are right that it is possible to cheat.
In the multi-table tourney format, there is not much of a way to cheat because people are placed at tables and moved to different tables throughout the tourney pretty randomly. |

Either computer or RLP.
Er, I don't play, but I know a shit load of people who do. Yes. They're dorks, but they're my dorks.

Online gaming isn't all geeks- sometimes it can build a very sensitive mindset- and can make you appreciate your real life.
I remember when I first started playing Ages of Empire. It's a game where you start with a small population and some resources. You have to order your people to gather the resources (chop wood/mine, etc.) then you slowly built up technology and a military. You can really get a sense of attachment as you see your creation grow and thrive!
Meanwhile 4 or 5 other civilizations are developing on their own. some are allies, some enemies. eventually you have a war and one side is wiped out.
Learning to play I played against computer-supplied bots and at low skill level. Plus I had lots of cheats so even if I ever got in trouble I could cheat me some gold, or these nasty machine gun carrying race cars that could kill dozen of the sword/spear carrying infantry sent against me. It was a fun game.
Then I played online- no cheats and no control of skill level. There was something profoundly sad in watching my towns razed and peoples wiped out, and with nothing I could do about it.

Hey, I'm a dork, but for different reasons. I sometimes read about quantum theory in my spare time. I would be even more of a dork if I actually understood or retained any of it.

My ex won $2,000 one night. I guess the cheaters weren't cheating too well that time. |

One of my best friends plays that game all of time. He is a dork. But he's a funny dork who enjoys drinking to excess and playing spectacular practical jokes on people, so I still like him.

I'm pretty free. We could even do the Papadakis dinner sometime, and see if Petros done sobbing over his team's fortunes.
Just so you know, though, I have a share of Flinty's upside contractually Locked. Up. So let's talk about that new vehicle I hear you've got, Monkey Colon II: World Series of Poker!
