PLAY. WITH. ME.

Apr 26, 2012#1

strawman

First, start a game with me for words with friends and draw something. In both cases my username is stienman. Remember, i before e...

Words with friends is essentially scrabble, and you can play via Facebook, iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or android device for free.

I'm not sure what else draw something is on, but it is available for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad for free. You are given a word you need to draw, and the other person has to guess the word once they see your drawing. Then they draw a word, and so forth. I just started playing today, so I'm still getting used to it, but it's pretty easy and fun.

Advertising free versions are a couple bucks, and while the ads aren't terribly annoying it's worth the upgrade if you play a lot.

Second, post your favorite social games and your username below if you want others to bug you about playing games with them.

Steam usernames need not apply, there's another thread for that already.

That's terrible. It only crashes on me once a month at most, and restarting it is quick and easy. Is it the android version?

Yes. Granted, it has been something on the order of a year since I tried, but it put such a bad taste in my mouth I have no intention of giving it another shot.

You did okay with the transformers logo, but it wasn't until I used a bomb that it finally hit me. I wouldn't have gotten auto bots at all without having fewer letters to choose from.

Bowielee said:

I sat and stared at that one for awhile, then came back to it later. Didn't have any bombs, but it finally came to me while watching tv, probably 20 minutes after initially viewing it. Nice thing is that you can set it aside and come back to it later.

The word list is limited, though, and I'm starting to see repeats which is also making it easier. I'm afraid to purchase the ad free version because it adds another thousand words...

Just keep in mind, I don't watch rated R movies, so if you reference one I'm unlikely to get it, unless it's so popular that the memes are already out on the Internet.

I follow a rule that is kind of dumb. If I make the last play to end a game (win or lose), then I start the rematch. If someone else makes the last play, I wait for them to initiate. There is nothing inherently logical about it, really, yet it makes sense in my head.

That's what I do, but I've found a few people that will restart it either way (so we end up playing two games, which I don't mind if my list isn't full) and others that won't restart in any case, but will play if you start one.

I've started checking my list to see if they've started a game with me already before doing a rematch.

I would like Words With Friends to check for me, and say, "You already have a match in progress. Would you like to switch to that one, or start a second one?" when I attempt a rematch with someone who has already started one. Then I could always choose rematch, and it will give me an opportunity to switch to the existing game if the other person has already rematched me.

Yeah, I think about this stuff way too much...

For every resign notification, I started up a new game, so I think I have double games with some of you. Feels good to play again!

I did, in fact. I blame it on flying standby. Never doing that again. It is like flying with 6 layovers.

Stienman, I question the pinstripe suit you drew. Why would any self-respecting designer have a completely blue suit with white pinstripes, green buttons, and red thread?

Perhaps you missed the hairy chest in your analysis. This guy is no designer, and I'm just drawing what I see.

Be thankful I showed you as little as I did.
