    Heh, I've stopped trying to try all the games some time ago... and every few weeks, there are more. :shake:

    Tal, I'm blaming you when I start being late for my lectures because I played around in BoM Arcade :p

    I miss the "in new window" option, the ability to play games in an increased window size which was removed with the last update.
    Most games are more fun if you don't have to play them in a small part of the screen.

    Good catch, I didn't even notice that was missing. I'll revert to the previous layout until I add it to the new one.

    [​IMG] 6 new games added! Also, there is a bunch of open tournaments. As I said previously, 8-player tournaments take much too long to fill up (if ever), so rather make 4-player tournaments.

    This is weird. The arcade says I scored 440 points playing the Turtles. I have never played the Turtles and have no intention of playing it. Did it mistake someone else for me (and if so, how) or is it just making crap up?

    Haven't encountered that bug before, but there are plenty in the arcade, so I wouldn't be surprised. Unfortunately it's a relatively buggy mod and its author isn't overly concerned with bug fixing...

    Are you sure someone else couldn't have played it via your account?

    I suppose my son could have done so on my home computer while I was at work. I will ask.

    [​IMG] 10 new games are up, thanks to the Master of the Arcade, BTA, who has now taken over the admirable duty of deciding which new games are worth being played around here! :thumb:

    Something wrong with the Sheep Dash game. My average was .219 and it is recorded as 0, along with everyone else's time. Might need to remove the game. Also, it did not give me the option to comment when accepting my score.

    It has recorded the scores properly, it just didn't show them... I've fixed that. I can't get the comments to work, but we'll live without that I guess.

    Anyone quite get when Plumber 2 ends? It obviously ends when you don't reach a drain pipe. It also seems to end when you reach a drain pipe that's not at the bottom of the board. But I've had it end whe I've reached a drain pipe at the bottom, but there's more than one; does that mean you have to guess which is the right one? I don't quite get it.

    That happened to me on my last go-round. I think you are supposed to pay attention at the beginning of each round where it highlights the drain pipes. It may not highlight all of the ones that otherwise look like they would act as drain pipes (I'm guessing here).

    I'm guessing that's not it because I have looked at that labelling and it seems to label every pipe that is a drain pipe, including ones not at the bottom.

    I have experimented a little with drain pipes not at the bottom prior to posting originally, and the game ended when I ended on a drain pipe that was not at the bottom, but was labelled as a drain pipe.

    Usually if there is more than one drain pipe(& only the ones on the bottom count) it is best to start on the one farthest to the right.
    If you can't mae a pipe to it move one pipe to the left.
    Oh also it ends at level 25.


    *edit*
    Darn you DMC(shakes fist vainly)!
    Had the top spot for 2 days then DMC got me.
    It's gonna be hard for anybody to bet that score of his as he only spent an average of ~36 Sec.s per level

    It appears I am the new registered champion of Mumblypeg. But two other players have better scores than me. :)
