Minesweeper

I play this stupid game all the time. My wife thinks I'm A) a dork for playing it, and B) the only dork who does. Actually, I don't know anyone else who does, either. So, am I the world's biggest dork for playing it? Or are there other dorks out there?

BTW, best times (I have no clue how "good" any of these are) ... Beginner, 5; Intermediate, 33; Expert, 101.

no, but I am a Freecall Masta'. I once won 34 games in a row.

I used to play a ton of Minesweeper. I could never break the 100 barrier in expert (best was 103 or so).

That gives me a lot of hope for my poker endeavors, seeing as you're one of the posters I most respect.

Hopefully my poker catches up to my minesweeping skillz.

Possibly more validation for you here: minesweeper scores.

Thanks for the link.

I can't believe my ego's getting a boost from this. That's just plain pathetic.

Alltime low is 112. On my current computer, I have a 118 with a ball mouse, which in my opinion is MUCH tougher to use in minesweeper than a regular mouse.

Those are pretty good scores. I used to play this game quite a bit when I was bored, but it doesn't work for me any more.

My dad plays this every f'ing morning when he gets out of bed for like an hour. The best part is when my wife and I go visit, she'll sit down for about 5 minutes and beat his score(s) and then quit. He gets pissed, spends the next several months beating her score, we come visit again, she sits down and beats the new score - it's hilarious.

I had him hooked on freecell before minesweeper. He was actually pretty good at that - he'd go hundreds of games without losing. My dad knows two things about their computer - where the power button is and how to start up minesweeper & freecell (I made icons for him on the desktop).

Me too. I'll take it where I can get it, I guess.

If you've scored 101 at Expert then you know how "good" it is. Fishing for compliments much? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My best was 120- or 130- something. What an amazing suckage of time that was . . . I did score a 1-click "Easy" victory once, go me.
