Does anyone play FreeCell? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I just discovered it in windows a few months ago, figured it out, and have won 31 straight. I'm wondering if that's good or am I a nerd.

I've never played free cell, but I wonder if anyone has ever beaten 216 in bowling on a Nokia cell phone?

Ute how did you just discover free cell? Although I found spider solitaire even more addictive and once I got my new laptop a couple of years ago, I couldn't let myself even touch the games section because I didn't want to waste the time. My mother-in-law got me hooked on spider. Now she's got me hooked on Sudoku, a numbers game.

Steel, very impressive on the bowling -- I think my high is a single round of excellent fortune right around the 200 mark. Kudos. I hate how inconsistent that game is, though.

I've determined that there is no sure way to get a strike. I can do the exact same thing every time and the scores will fluctuate between 185 and 216. I've just always wondered if I was missing some way to be consistent.

On another note, I think that my posting twice regarding a cell phone game might officially qualify me as a huge nerd.

I've heard someone say that free cell is made for it to be possible to win every time you play. I once won 49/50 on free cell, but had to stop playing all together due to it being a huge time-waster.

Agreed, Spider solitaire is just as, if not more, addictive. I taught my 5 year old how to play over the weekend and he has asked me approximately 47 times since then when he can play again.

I know of a person that has beaten all of the Free Cell games, something like 30.000 of them. She played each one over and over until she beat it and moved on to the next one.

And people think we was time on here.

I just had to say that I love your avitar. Can I assume that, like for me, Al Bundy is a true representation of life?

I am Al Bundy. How about you?

My favorite on my PDA is Hot Death Uno. (Although it's PG-13 - there's a "F--- You" card in this Uno game, which led to a little embarassment when my 7-year-old son watched me play and said, "Dad, what does "F---" mean?" Ooops.)

Well, with a name like Nobody Special who better than Al to put as an avitar?

And yes Al's life and mine are very similair. Right down to the shoe sales. Although that was while I went to college.

And my wife is no where near Peg. Thank the heavens above.

But, the rest is close.
