More Problems at Phantom….

Monday, August 18th, 2008
Image via Wikipedia I am perplexed, I once canceled my subscription (after paying for a year) after October vowing not to renew or spend another dime with the company.

August 1st Slot Review

Friday, August 1st, 2008
Things seem to be back to some what of a normal spiel at EFX today. I mean the slot (each subscriber gets 1 free monthly slot), was there then it wasn’t (typical) some sort of tight lipped glitch. I can say at least they caught it in a reasonable amount of time this time. Game plays [...]

PhantomEFX "New" Game Requirements

Monday, July 28th, 2008
Realistic? This is according to their new and improved web-site.  As you probably read in my previous post.

3 game Special

Monday, July 28th, 2008
Well I am going against my better judgement, I ordered the 3 games from Phantom EFX. My wife loves the games to play off-line and she deserves it. Why did I order all 3? That is a good question, and I was hoping some-one could leave me a little comment here and tell me. Seems the [...]

Fools Find: Television Without Pity

Sunday, July 27th, 2008
The site could very well be the best thing since television was invented. A get down and dirty tell it like it is spotlight so to speak snarky and sometimes sarcastic reviews of over 175 shows. You can also take a turn at being a network exec with  the “TV BigShot” game!  You’re given a virtual [...]

Spam and Cheese on Rye

Thursday, July 24th, 2008
How much spam would it take to fill the Grand Canyon?  Does anyone care. In this day and age what is classified as spam, who classifies it? Is there a specific title that goes with the job? “Got anymore of that potted meat?” It seems my inbox is full of spam lately it almost makes [...]
