to this game called Super Text Twist. See, I'm a word game kind of guy. Most of my friends and family refuse to play Boggle with me (unless they get to team up on me...) Marcus Myers turned me onto this game two years ago, on Andrew Peterson's Christmas tour. (Which, by the way, I'll only be playing the first two of, in Houston, and then the Ryman show here in Nashville...)
Anyway, I can't stop playing Super Text Twist (from here on: STT) and it's because I got a Ninja-Butt-Kick High Score and now I have to top it.
The current high score had been 182,000 but got replaced by a gorgeous 510,850. That was level 103, folks.
Now, the secret is that you get muddled after a few rounds (each round takes 2:30 or however you complete each puzzle) and you start forgetting which words you've used in the last round and you lose. So... I try to only play four or five rounds at a time, maximum. That high score took me about three weeks.
Currently, I'm in the #2 spot with 281,400. My goal is a million. So, from now until I hit it, each blog post will end with a STT score in italics.
If you want to play the game, the free download gives you 40 rounds, and you can play online as well. There are a couple of sites that host it, but this is the main one, I believe. Happy Twisting.

Woo hoo! Osenga in Houston! "So Long, Moses" in particular would not be the same without you. Now I'm looking forward to this coming Sunday even more. I'm bringing six of my friends, and now they'll know why I drove to Fort Worth and back in one night for a concert. I really can't wait.
OK, so I can comfort my wife with "Sorry we can't see the AP Christmas tour this year; but without Andy O, would it really be worth seeing anyway?"
That said, put the bug in AP's ear that he REALLY needs to come to the Baltimore area next year. And bring you with him. Maybe if he hears it from both you AND Derek (who I saw last week) it will come true and make us a happy family!
And that screen shot- was it to show that video game addiction truly is an ILLNESS?
Thanks to you I will not get any work done around my house anymore. Ha, ha. It is a great game. I also love Boggle, but it is hard to find likeminded people.
I'm looking forward to the Ryman show!
My mom and sister love this game - way to increase your coolness in the Lasky household. And I will miss you very much on AP's Christmas Tour in Columbus. Bummer!!! But I'm sure you wil be having fun being papa!
