Play MONOPOLY Against The World

Post author By web gangsta
Post date September 8, 2009

The hard part about playing Hasbro’s MONOPOLY is trying to find other people who are willing to play with you.

All your friends who normally love to play games all complain that it takes too long to play, or nobody really wants to be banker, or your rules are different from the way want to play.

Web Watch says that you can leave those friends behind.

Because now Hasbro and Google have teamed up to produce a terrific interactive use of Google Maps called MONOPOLY CITY STREETS that takes the game of Monopoly and applies it to any city in the world, and you can play along at home.

Extending Invisibles into Porn and Internet Memes

You know that part of the DVD party game, SCENE IT, where they show a scene from a film but all the actors have been digitally removed from the scene as if they were an invisible man? The concept is called INVISIBLES and was first seen online on the FILM WISE website many years ago. Film Wise has over 400 Invisibles quizzes on their site, so it certainly will fill up your day as you try to figure some of those out.

Parents’ Guide to the Movies, Video Games, and More

These days, parents have a hard time keeping track of what is good for their kids, or what their kids should avoid – if only due to the sheer amount of content that parents need to stay up with.

Did any of the parents who brought their young kids to a free concert in Central Park last week know what to expect when Green Day took the stage? The concert was sponsored by ABC’s Good Morning America and Walgreen’s, so nothing offensive was going to happen, right?

Watching that clip, you can see the parents with their kids happily singing along to every curse word used in the song. But I’m sure there were some families in the crowd that did not expect a TV morning show concert to contain profanity.

Join WSOP champion Annie Duke at “Sucking Out On The Rivers” poker tourney

What are you doing on Wednesday May 27th?

If you didn’t like the outcome of this year’s Celebrity Apprentice… and who did?… then this is your chance to join in a little good natured revenge with proceeds going to Refugees International.

(I mean really – while I admit that the last few Celebrity Apprentice episodes were hysterically entertaining, everyone knows that the best quality finale would have been between Jesse James vs Annie Duke. That would have been awesome. And we would next like to see Annie and Jesse take on Dancing with the Stars next. But I digress.)

What do you need to do to join in the fun? Just join poker champion Annie Duke at the SUCKING OUT ON THE RIVERS POKER TOURNAMENT at the Hard Rock Casino’s poker room in Las Vegas.

Annie Duke and renowned Joan Rivers impersonator Frank Marino are joining forces on this charity poker tournament. Buy-in is $200 (with re-buys), and they expect a few poker pros to come out and join the fun. There are also going to be 20 other Joan Rivers impersonators playing along, each one with a bounty on their head for the lucky player who knocks them out.

Advance information is saying that the tournament is going to start at 6pm, but considering how much fun this sounds like, I wouldn’t be surprised if it started later and ran long into the night.

Full press release after the break.

Flash Fun: Rock Band Simulator

One thing that ROCK BAND and GUITAR HERO are missing is the ability to control all the other aspects of band life:

Picking who is in your band (well, that’s dependent on your friends, and what if all your friends suck at Guitar Hero?)
Recording albums or releasing singles
Dealing with the recording studio
Working the press, managing your band’s hype
Are you a corporate sellout?

Game: Here’s the Plot, Guess the Story

Post Modern Barney has compiled the WORST PLOT SUMMARIES EVER WRITTEN, and summed up a few dozen movies and books into bite-size nuggets.

The twist is that these are not your traditional plot summaries, but rather a synopsis of the more lurid details of the story. Unfortunately, many of the hundreds of commenters on the original post think that the idea is to write about how the story ends. This is not always the case.

I’ll give you the plot summary, all you have to do is guess the name of the story it came from. Click the link for the answers.
