Now it helps that I am a Star Wars fan, but I found this absolutely hysterical. I was truly laughing out loud. I hope this brightens your days, Star Wars fan or not.
Developer “All-in-One Game Software” now has BlackJack!! Black jack adds to the already addictive fun of games like backgammon, poker, and perudo.
Of all the sites I have gone to and enjoyed this is the only one that allows you to play free, in an animated client. It allows you to use 10 languages. (Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, Hebrew, French, Japanese, Danish, Greek and German, and English). This particular provider of interactive entertainment boasts thousands of players networked at any given time. And now that they have BlackJack on the menu you can expect the number to grow exponentially.
The game itself offers high speed play, coupled with stunning visual graphics, each table holding up to 5 players. Each player can choose to create his own avatar which i had a bit of fun with. You can chat with fellow players, and even more interesting, the games possess a “view” mode, which allows other players to sit out and just watch the action!
Backgammon
Backgammon is a board game for two people in which pieces are moved based on the roll of dice. The first player to remove all of one’s own pieces from the board is said to be the winner. It is a part of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of games in the world.
Perudo
Perudo is popular dice game played in Peru, Chile, Bolivia and other South American countries. This game may be played by two or more people and, basically, is made up of guessing how many dice, under cups, there are on the table showing a certain number. The player who loses a round loses one of their dice. The last player having a die is the winner.
Blackjack
Blackjack is one of the most popular casino card games in the world. Blackjack’s popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill, and the publicity that surrounds card counting . Blackjack’s precursor was vingt-et-un (”twenty-one”), which originated in French casinos around 1700, and did not offer the 3:2 bonus for a two-card 21.
Poker
Poker is a popular type of card game in which players gamble on having the better card combination (”hand”), by placing a bet into a central pot. The winner is the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains “in the hand” after all others have folded (the player who makes an un-called bet.
Dubai announced Saturday it now has the world’s tallest building.The Dubai Tower is 1,680 feet tall and is on schedule to be completed a year before it was scheduled to.
The Dubai Tower interestingly is built by Sumsung, and is 141 stories tall. The developer claims that the finished building will exceed 2296 feet, and more than 160 floors. The building was designed by Adrian Smith of Chicago.
One of the Dubai Towers big competitors int he tower competiton is just 30 miles away. “Al Burj”’s size is also a secret but the estimated height will likely be about 3,937 feet, and more than 200 stories.
Another possible competitor, would be the Murjan Tower. Its planned for Bahrain. The blueprints call for a 3,353 foot tall structure, containing 200 stories.
My comment is when is it too tall? Perhaps it stems from a fear of heights but, if i was 200 plus stories up and it got stormy… thats just damn scary. I live on the 47 th floor for a time, and i would leave every time the weather was due to go bad.
It would be outstanding to go back in time and be a witness to some historical events. Civil War era, world War Two, the building of Rome. This list would be gigantic. You could do this, in a limited way, by speaking to people who lived through it, such as people who lived through the Great Depression.
Everytime you spend time with someone who has lived through historical events, you have a chance to bear witness, ina roundabout way, to the events that occurred during a specific era in our history. I myself will be able to account both the gulf wars to my son, as an example.
Sit down with a person that lived in the past century, and ask them about an event that you are excited about. Hear it from their perspective, ask how the world reacted, and what the event changed for them. You may feel like you were actually there.
My mother remembers the Kennedy assassination. She can remember what she was wearing that day, the temperture, the whole deal. Its fascinating really. America was just devastated by it. Perhaps a greater shock than even the events of September 11th…
So, if you want experience history, find a person who lived or actually experienced a significant historical event and sit down and talk to them. Take notes, record the conversation because in time, the “witnesses” will eventuallay be history also.
Likely the most famous board game in existence, Monopoly has a rich history.
Sold in 80 countries and produced in 26 languages, it is very popular at many get togethers, and holidays. Parker brothers originally rejected the game due to design errors, when in 1934 Charles Darrow first presented it to the company. He had a friend print the game, and he sold 5000 copies to a local deparment store.
The people loved the game, and Mr. Darrow couldnt keep up with the demand, and went to talk to Parker Brothers again. Lucky for Parker Brothers, in my opinion.
Over 200 million MONOPOLY games have been sold worldwide.
More than five billion little green houses have been “built” since 1935.
A MONOPOLY game made by my friends at Alfred Dunhill, with gold houses and silver hotels, sold for $25,000.
The longest MONOPOLY game in history lasted 70 straight days.
The longest MONOPOLY game in a bathtub lasted 99 hours!
Its estimated that 500 million people have played Monopoly.
I have many fond memories of late night games of Monopoly myself, my brother and I up way past bedtime, quietly playing til the wee hours. Each of us attempting to pilfer the bank without the others knowledge. The “house rules” where we have 5 hotels to a property.
Theres many different styles of Monopoly, including Harley Davidson and Star Wars.
