I see there's a personal challenge marathon coming up where you'll be able to do three personal challenges for the week instead of just one. Yippee! I haven't decided which three I want to do but possibly ones for Tri-Peaks Solitaire, Phlinx and Word Class Solitaire.

The marathon is for the week of April 13th-April 19th.

I need to get back into Pogo! I miss it Crying or Very sad

My wife is a big fan of Pogo, I've seen her spend 3-4 hours straight playing the games there (when she's not busy playing The Sims 2). I've never tried it, though. I'm just not into card games and stuff. But if it can keep my wife out of trouble, then it can't be all that bad. Wink

At the risk of sounding like a doofus: What is pogo? Confused

Pogo is an online game site where you can play card and word games. You can play some of their games for free. If you pay for a membership, you get access to more games and win badges for playing games.

I probably better steer clear of pogo, then...I manage to spend quite enough time in front of my computer as it is! Shocked

This week one of my personal challenges is Crib, but it has to be a rated game which means I can't just play against the computer. Does anyone want to play crib with me? I don't want to play with someone if they're just going to throw the game so I can get my badge though .... I like to play for real.

Sorry, but I don't know Crib. I wouldn't be any challenge for you since I'm not familiar with the game.

Hurray! I'll save some for then and work on my other badges in the meantime .... or maybe even tackle my taxes cause Poopyhead won't do them for me!

Oh, I still have another two weeks to procrastinate. And you will be Poopyhead in my eyes when you don't do what I want.

I'm happy with my progress on the challenges this week. I got three done last night (the Showbiz Slots and Lottso challenges plus a personal challenge in Tri Peaks Solitaire) and started a personal challenge in Mahjong Garden. I love earning badges!!!!

I only wish Pogo had avatars you could download to your computer. I'd love to have an avatar of the panda from Panda Pai Gow Poker, especially if it was animated. Laughing

Here's a screenshot of that silly bear for anyone who hasn't been to Pogo and played the game:

He munches on the bamboo in his mouth, blinks his eyes, twitches his ears, and deals the cards out at each round.

A question about pogo...

I don't pay for a pogo membership, but I do go on there and play games like Word Whomp and the like. I gain tokens and use them to try to win the $50 daily prize every now and then. What are badges and are they only a membership thing? What am I missing out on?
