I almost wish Zynga would clone Arkham City and change the wait time for when punches can connect successfully after an indicator appears over an enemy’s head, by like .28. For me, it seems like forever and a day before I’m *allowed* to press that button. I would always press it too soon, the punch wouldn’t connect, and I’d take damage. Arkhamville, heh.

Anyway, interesting post. I’d always figured this was true for say a Street Fighter or Quake, but I never considered that it would be so important for the types of games Zynga steals.

This article is spot on. Taking an idea is one thing, taking the minutia as well is several orders of magnitude worse. I think it will catch up to them though. Anytime an organization values profits over innovative product it eventually fails either in reputation or altogether.

The following are the lowest point scoring words at -3

USE, SUE, SEI, ENS, ELS, OSE, OES, ESS, ERS, RES, SAE, SEN, SER, SEL, LES, SEA, SEE, SET

If you allow Blanks and IF they get to keep the value of the letter they are replacing

you can make two words worth -8 points: SEES and ESES

oppositely you can make a 59 point word: ZYZZYVA

Glad you like my game (Pinball FX2). Met you dad on a flight from New York in October, by the way. He mentioned your company, and I grabbed the casino game on my phone. Fun stuff!
