Freecell
So I play freecell pretty regularly. Most people i know seem to have a system for clearing the statistics part of it to keep it interesting (my dad for example clears it after every loss). My version is to clear it after 100 games. Usually i consider it a success if i can get 92 or more wins, which is probably most of the time... maybe 60-70% for me. My goal, however is to complete all 100 games without a loss. The closest i had ever come before now was 96 wins.
And all i have to say is: ONE $@$#%$#%ing GAME!! @%$#!

I would say I hate you at least 95% of the time. It's the same thing probably.Lethal Interjection wrote:I would say I win at least 95% of the time.

I never got into freecell, my girlfriend plays it constantly though, on my computer, when I stand up to go to the toilet*. It looks like a cheating/retarded way to play solitaire. I think I tried playing it once, like solitaire and just had no idea wtf was going on. So I gave up on it because it was shit. If you can win a game 95% of the time, and it seems that most people can win freecell pretty easily, I don't think I saw my my girlfriend lose more than once or twice out of a lot, then where's the excitement, find a more challenging puzzle game out there. Get a DS and Brain Training or something.

Thats why I don't really play it any more. Some are challenging, but generally it just bored me.*Simon. wrote:If you can win a game 95% of the time, and it seems that most people can win freecell pretty easily, I don't think I saw my my girlfriend lose more than once or twice out of a lot, then where's the excitement, find a more challenging puzzle game out there.

Its the same reason I fell out of Sudoku, for the most part. With Sudoku, I like them to be challenging (3 star at least), but I don't want to have to rely on a guess. If it isn't logical, it isn't for me. Plus, I don't like back-tracking if a guess is wrong. So when it comes down to a guess (it is possible I just missed a logical step, but there is only so much time I am willing to spend), I usually just scrap the puzzle part way through.
Miniclip has an online Sudoku that is awesome. It is the best online version I've seen, and it has "fastest time" stats and "average time" stats (for each of the easy, med, and hard that were updated each day). So that added an element that made it more interesting.
But I digress.
* And then there were the ones that were just impossible. I don't know if I just missed something on these ones, but I just didn't see any solution. When I came across these I definitely tended to clear scores. The game shouldn't have that. **
** So, I've realized that I hate logic/problem solving games that have no logical solutions. Which makes sense, I guess, but I didn't realize how much they bothered me until now, when comparing two games.

4 seconds is strictly luck. It has to be a really easy beginner one, and your mouse cursor needs to be in the right place.
Trust me, I know.
Those are my current times. I think they are all pretty good. I haven't played in about a year. But when I do play, I'll get all OCD and have to beat my previous record. I don't think it is possible to beat 4 seconds though.
Edit: Man, I can't even fathom the 21 second intermediate. I just went to play and I wasn't even halfway through. I know I'm out of practice, but still. Must've also been a lucky one.
