EPTAlso, I speak french fairly well, he admitted he's the driver, and the sound was from his Ferrari, if no one told you yet.
All in all, very cool, will be sure to read in the future.

Somehow the ratio of people who find this cool to people who find it revolting is 50:1, i wonder what the ratio would be if those 500 people saw somebody they know/like/value crossing the street in that video. What if that video was salvaged from a camera of a ridiculous accident involving pedestrians or another vehicle? I think it's an interesting video, but I don't think it's a cool video unless someone somehow came up and said it was all fake and somehow he was really rolling at the speed limit the whole time. | ||

User was temp banned for this post. Don't resist it. you love him too <3. JWD is a boss. His blog's are one of the reason's i come to Tl every day. My only complaint is that we don't see them very often! I still remember seeing my first JWD blog. Let's be honest with ourselves, the girls are usually the best part. But I'm always amazed at the things you find on the internet. If i was only allowed to go one place on the internet, it would be JWD's blogs. He finds the best the internet has to offer. | ||

I am a member on a forum called TeamLiquid (http://www.teamliquid.net) and in a recent forum thread (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=248123) the rules of monopoly emerged and of course being the internet, everyone had their own stand on the rules. So here is the problem. When you pick up a chance card with the "Advance token to the nearest Railroad and pay owner twice the rental to which he is otherwise entitles. If railroad is unowned, you may buy it from the bank." you can understand the task in two different ways: 1) This card requires the drawing player to advance to the railroad that is the fewest spaces from the plays. In other words if I land on the chance on a light blue street I must go around the board (and collect $200) to Reading Railroad which is 2 spaces behind where I drew the card. 2) The card requires the drawing player to advance to the railroad that is the fewest spaces in front of the player. So if I land on the chance on the same light blue street I advance eight spaces to Pennsylvania Railroad (and don't pass go). At the moment alternative 2 is winnig with 88% of the votes. In the forum thread there are quite a few good reasonings to both alternatives: "On a Monopoly board distance can only be measured going the correct way around the board, so Reading RR is actually 38 spaces away, not 2. That woud make it "nearest" (how could Pennsylvania be further, when you only have to move 8 spaces to get there?)." "of course 1 is the correct reading. here's my thinking. the essential question is: "which railroad is 'the nearest'?" and there is no winning argument that a railroad 8 spots away from my piece is (ever) nearer to my piece than a railroad 2 spots away. no, it's not dispositive that the card instructs you to "advance". it's common in Monopoly to advance all the way around the board to get to your destination (ever draw "advance to GO" from Blue Street chance spot? the rules specify that you must go all the way around the board, collecting $200). and as a general principle, directionality is generally irrelevant to nearness — especially on a flat game board where every move is instantaneous." Could you experts of board games please enlighten us, experts of StarCraft2, on how the chance card should be interpreted. Thank you for your help. Best Regards Seems that Hasbro isn't going to answer  | ||

Hasbro finally answered. Thanks for your email, which I have checked with our design team. They agree that the rule should be interpreted as NEXT railroad as you move forward on the board not nearest in terms of spaces. We will look into changing the wording in the chance card to make this more clear when playing and avoid unnecessary confusion. "ADVANCE TO THE NEXT RAILROAD. If UNOWNED, you may buy it from the Bank. If OWNED, pay owner twice the rental to which they are otherwise entitled." Hope this explanation helps. Can't wait to see this changed in the game itself. I have made my mark on history. Thanks to JWD for that one I guess! | ||
