Who are we, that wait for a game like a child on Christmas morning?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wish the Best for you All!

5. Flytech Bladestar. Now you can actually make something fly with the Flytech Bladestar Indoor Flyer, a creation by WooWee. It has a life-size and a big LCD screen. For those that do, the ratings are: TV-Y7: directed toward kids 7 years and older (kids who are able to distinguish between make-believe and reality); may contain “mild fantasy violence or comedic violence” that may scare younger kids

Gifting kids such toys, will get them enthusiastic, excited and they would love the idea of having a robot as a gift for them. Exciting way to teach letters, number, and shapes. Buying them is worth the spending as they would give you serenity when you watch your children playing with these angry bird toy.

I recalled the Word Wars Documentary about the Scrabble tournament circuit.

It was heavily loaded up w production editing to make it viewable to the non-Scrabble audience.  Our supercomputers are not yet powerful enough to do that type of Live/instant replay editing as seen on so many sports broadcasts.

Even when all that editing becomes possible, I would be curious which advertisers would back an A&A tournament broadcast.

Maybe a few from the the golf channel.

Depending on where you live you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a comic book shop or card shop or dedicated game shop that would have a copy of something on the shelf. There isn’t really a national game store franchise. It is mostly just some guy with a store or maybe a regional concern with four or five shops.

My local shop usually gets one copy for anyone who’s a regular who asks and one for the shelf when a new version comes out. Typically though he doesn’t replace that till Christmas shopping season but will order one for you with a small deposit. The markup on these games isn’t very high so you probably aren’t going to go to one shop and find a copy of everything.

Toys R’ Us probably has copies of ‘42 and maybe a decent chance of Guadalcanal or a less decent chance of BOTB. I’d think it pretty slim to find a copy of Pacific or Europe at Toy R’ Us given the price point.

Try your yellow pages under hobby, or games, or comics. Also you might try something like www.comicshoplocator.com and give your closest shop a call. You might also try something like this Days of Wonder Store Locator. Someplace that sells games like that is likely to have a copy or two of Axis and Allies.

Something like this might help.

I survived thirty people at my home for Christmas!!!  8-)

For my part, I didn’t like shoveling snow last week when it was -45 (not exaggerating) with the windchill. Hokey Frick! We’re buried in the white stuff too, the snow pile along my street is about 4 feet deep. But at least it hasn’t been windy, so not much drifting.

the same thing happened to me , but in Gamespy

somebody told me that one of the files in the patch v 1.3.3 are corrupt or something.

the way to fix this is to go to your windows dricetory c:\windowssystem , and copy the file Dplayx.dll to your axis and allies folder.

this should replace the corrupt file with a new one that works , ever since i did this i can play the game at gamespy , i suppose the same would apply to the Zone.
