    Why is the high score on Bejeweled so impossibly high? I can't even get 2,000. And when I even get to 1,500, it keeps telling me it couldn't save my score.

    Ditto that, but let's replace a few things.

    Why is the high score on Facebook Tetris so impossibly high? I can't even get two million. And when I even get to one million, I realize that I'm still hella far away. :lol:

    Well, I'm competing against Godly scores on Facebook.

    My friend Alvin cheated his way to a 5 million flat. My friend Jimbo is 2 million something, and I'm about 1k away from the million mark. I'm the second highest real score out of all my friends.

    How can you cheat to 5 million? And I totally hate Facebook now. I can't get there. Still.

    I don't know, but cheating is rampant in that Tetris app apparently. I want to find it kinda. :lol:

    Yeah. You could just cheat your way to 1 billion, or whatever the highest score possible is, and then you'd be like a Tetris God. :lol:

    But it'd be obvious that I cheated, so I wouldn't.

    I'm earning my high scores the old-fashion way. Through freakin' hard work. Well, not hard work. But work. Although not exactly work either.

    Um, hopes and dreams?

    Hopes and dreams, yes.

    And it's not just Bejeweled. Chess won't do it, Othello won't do it. Nothing will. Save my score, that is.

    He did NOT just sing the Chris Cornell version of Billie Jean.

    The judges claimed it to be so original, when in fact it was basically the Chris Cornell version. I'll save you the trouble, here's what it sounded like:

    That was unique. If what's his name did it so it sounded basically like this, then I don't see how it's really that original.

    The guitar part was a LITTLE different, but other than that, the vocal is basically that.

    Not too "original" then. :lol: That's why I don't really want to try American Idol, or even do a cover, unless I'm positive I can make sure I put my own spin on it, that actually sounds good, and isn't said to be "original", when it in fact, is not.

    And while we're at it, the movie 21 is completely off from the actual story it's based on. In real life, all four of the card counters were Asian-American.

    So why cast caucasian?

    Sorry, random tangent.

    David Cook, I think. Can't be sure though, I was burning a CD.

    I thought I remembered hearing about that. I knew something about that trailer was off. Now I get what it was. Unfortunately, it's to the point where people bastardize the actual story, so true stories become "based on a true story", which then becomes "loosely based on a true story", which leads to "based so loosely on a true story, you might as well call it a fucking tent."
