Solitaire is bollocks

homesick_alien [Edit] [Delete] 17 replies 12:11, 22 March '05
The person sitting next to me in the internet cafe is playing solitaire.

Why exactly do people play this game? It's about as entertaining as dragging a stick through shit. You've got the internet in front of you for feck's sake, can you not find anything more interesting? Webgames? Forums? Ratemypoo?

I'd sooner poke my eyeballs with sharp instruments than play solitaire. I can only conclude that the people who enjoy playing solitaire are as boring as the game itself.

It's rubbish for fuck's sake, don't even get me started on minesweeper.

        "don't even get me started on minesweeper"

        Minsweeper is the game of kings.

        Small grid speed challenges should be an olympic sport.

        I did 5 secs once :-)

          I've never seen the point of minesweeper. :-|

          You just randomly click on squares. You explode. You die.

          Fun.

  • Re: Solitaire is bollocks

    I kind of agree. Whats the point of going into an internet cafe just to pay solitaire.
    But dragging a stick through shit boring? If you are doing that you must be up to something.
    Maybe extracting some sweetcorn! Now thats good eating!

      Whilst I wouldn't stop in a cafe to play it, Spider Solitaire is the best thing anyone ever created. Without doubt. Full stop. More addictive than crack, and more fun than... um... crack. If Spider Solitaire didn't exist, you'd have to invent it

        i dont have solitaire on this, only chess. i like chess but this is fucking impossible. you can't change the difficulty, only the speed in which the computer takes a move which is apparently meant to mean that its taking less time to think but it isn't. it's not really thinking at all. gay.

          Being a retired cricketer I spend my time playing this www.npower.com/cfm/cricketgame.cfm

            That game's brilliant! I just got a pretty poor 107 all out, three balls from the end trying to hit out Devon-style. I'm in love with that now though. Ace.

              Mr Malcolm, thank you for that link, my life now has new meaning. What a truly fantastic game!

                It's equally frustrating as well though. Them damn slower balls are messing me up big! Just popped in a nice 121-9 though. I'll take that, as a beginner.

                  169-8, second go! Can you tell I'm a great lower-order hitter in real life? :D One thing - why the fuck do they appeal when the batsmen is clean bowled?

                    I'm a bowler, and I think it's showing here. And as such, I'd appeal for anything. I kicked a screwed up piece of paper at my boss yesterday that hit her shin, and I was up before I could stop myself. It's a pesky affliction...

                      I have played this game for months now and my best is still only 259-3. I find the slower balls slightly down the leg-side near impossible to even hit. Bah!

                    • Re: Solitaire is bollocks

                      Lol yeah I'm a bowler too. Lower-order was accurate but the 'great hitter' bit was a bit of a lie! If it goes past the outside edge I'm appealing, you never know what an umpire might give in Sunday afternoon cricket!
