Whew ... it's only when you respond that I realize how gabby I get ...
Your right ... DiceArena does have better graphics. While trying to find the "free" games were not quite easy to find ... once I did, some of the games over there are too pretty. You, ummm, probably should never have mentioned them, cause I can see a few games there I might get addicted to ...
I did notice the "who's online" thing seem to very quite a bit. Maybe it has to do with having to open an entire little screen to play it all in, seperate from the base website ... I dunno. They weren't quite clear about what they really were ... not sure they mentioned once being a skill-based game site, and I saw the A-typical terms bounced around A LOT like, rake, house, etc. ... it sounds more like they are a casino-ish place with games that you sit down and play against the house, that just so happened to incorporate whatever skillgaming joint Gamarena might have been before ... again, I dunno. They do not take PayPal, and rely on the Euro places like Moneybrokers to withdraw funds from (even though they do accept a credit card), which seem to confirm that they are not "Skilled-based" enough to qualify.
Shame, it's a neat place to play ... just don't think it's where I wanna point my visitors to, just yet. Just sampling a few games, and the graphics are not only a lil better, but the gameplay didn't seem to suffer a bit from having it look so good ... something I can't say about Spootnic.
ROFLMAO ... what's funny is I don't really do sarcasm in real life, so I dunno why it seems to pour out online, these days.
No, I do not hate YOU or SA ... but I stand behind everything I said about the site design, game graphics, and forum activity ... but I don't think it's anything y'all aren't trying to improve, so no worries ... it's still my fav place to play, for now.
I admit, I have yet to play all the games there, so I until I do so ... I shouldn't make such a blanket statement against all game graphics there ... Odd One Out is pretty darn cute.
Twitchy ... maybe there's a better word for it, but it's not anything that hasn't been brought up before - Spider Solitaire ... you have to admit that you need a very focused touch to move piles around, without them bouncing right back to where you dragged them from ... maybe the game isn't twitchy, but rather - MAKES ME TWITCHY PLAYING IT!!!
Golf Solitaire ... the clock keeps running while the cards for each round are being laid out, not cool.
However, both those complaints remain fair and equal to everyone playing the game, so it's not like the annoying bug that IS in the Pockits game that will hide your ball, and leave you sitting there just watching the clock run down (I still need to record this bug to send you ... but, it doesn't happen very often).
