I got a straight flush in 4-card poker on my second hand. Payout was 40:1 and then a 20:1 bonus. But I lost it all eventually and then more... (I couldn't just stop playing then, what was I gonna do for 2 whole days?).
Also got 3-of-a-kind twice in 3-card poker (666 and QQQ). Payout was 25:1. I kept on getting queens and someone at the table were like, "Man, those queens sure like you a lot." Dan and I would giggled at that comment.
But the big win was getting a royal flush in 3-card poker. Payout was 40:1 and then a 50:1 bonus AND an entry into Harrah's drawing for a seat at the 3-Card Poker World Championship and other prizes.
Thanks to Anson and Cliff for being high rollers and getting us free rooms.
Serial Killers' Advice to 10-year-old boys: "Stay in School"
In the late 1990's, pop-culture historian (isn't that like a oxymoron?) Bill Geerhart sent letters to various celebrities and SERIAL KILLERS pretending to be a 10-year-old boy seeking life advice. The letters and responses were published in the latest edition of Radar magazine and also online.
Some of the responses are quite fascinating. Some serial killers like Erik Menendez wrote responses (in beautiful handwriting BTW) that were quite nice and normal while Ted Kaczynski was cold but rational. But Charles Manson's responses might absolutely no sense at all.
I thought that Alan Greenspan's response to little Billy was quite funny, mostly because his poor assistant responded and addresses 10-year-old Billy as Mr. Geerhart. Oh and turns out that Justice Clarence Thomas likes Egg McMuffins.
Looks like THQ is making yet another terrible Avatar game:
This one looks better than the previous ones but it still looks like shit. And the collision detection seemed to be all over the place. Shuko doesn't even touch that goon and he goes flying away. Terrible sound effects that don't exist. Plus, why oh why would ANYONE want to play as Sokka???
At least, they did something different this time and allowed you to bend with your wii. Yes, your wii holds the power to the elements.
