Remember that lil’ ol’ stock trading game that CNBC [GE] has had on a few previous occasions?
Well, it’s baaaack, starting today!
Earlier, I’d mentioned that Flip is already ramping up his blog to handle the new game; with the new rules, he’s devised a new system for crowdsourcing, hopefully to get some readers into the winners’ [...]

Remember when I mentioned the start of McDonald’s [MCD] Monopoly game?
Well, the time has come for the game to wrap up… if you haven’t punched in all of your codes online yet, you should probably get it done ASAP.
Hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you!

… at least, game-wise (in the CNBC $1M Challenge game).
It looks like, about the same time as my post about the ‘game, Flip is getting back into the action with this third iteration of the game. This will probably be an interesting 10 weeks of twisty-turny nausea (and maybe even a bit of vomiting), so [...]

Wow!
I’m still deeply engrossed in the dramatic gameplay in Saints Row. There are so many things to do in the game (those “Activities”) in addition to the main plot “Missions”, and being an Xbox 360 game, there’s also the hilarity from the Achievements.
