Madaphefe,

Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. Unfortunately, I’m afraid the only practical solution is to accept Amy Adams in all her larger-than-life glory.

Regretfully yours,

Hello.Enchanted – Can’t shrink Disney movie –
I have decrypted Enchanted-a Disney movie-successfully but when I go to Shrink it, it gets to 40% then the entire program shuts off with no warning or explanation. Is there a work around to this?

We got Ticket to Ride a couple of Christmases ago and I don’t think have cracked the shrink wrap. This thread is inspiring me to give it a try.

I think that’s reading way too much into a kids game…

You are a better person than me, Clark!

For me:
Risk = violent world domination.
Monopoly = grinding faces of the poor.

To me the fun when I was young was playing Risk or Monopoly way into the wee hours of the morning with friends. It was less about the game and more about the good times.

Also: after many years of fierce contention (usually on holidays too), my brothers and I have called a moratorium on playing Risk and Monopoly. Somehow when you are taking either my troops or my benjamins, it seems personal.

Yeah, great post. We like Pandemic, Settlers, Ticket to Ride, Puerto Rico, and a few others. We aren’t early adopters, and we don’t hang out at mall game stores. We’ve just been lucky over the past ten years or so to have friends invite us over to play their awesome new games. We buy the games we really like–and then inflict them on the rest of our friends and family. I think my wife even bought a case of Ticket to Ride a few years back so she could hand them out to people at Christmas.
