You can use 4 per game, and to activate them you use the W,E,S, & D keys. If you know the answer, hit one of those keys, then let the clock run down as far as you can to answer the question. The longer you wait, the more points you get, but obviously if you wait too long, the clock runs out and you get nothing.

I run a Mac powerbook G4 and tried downloading it when this was first posted. I couldn't get it to take. I have since downloaded the new operating system Leopard and have yet to see if they have adapted it to work better with betta.EREmpireStrikesBack wrote:Is this Mac compatible or PC only?
I can't wait to upgrade to the new laptops with the intel chip.
I will never go back to a PC platform - the commercials are spot on.

If I ever get unlazy and put the dual-boot bootcamp on, I will have no problem. But like I said, the unlazy problem is the bigger one.tomASS wrote:I run a Mac powerbook G4 and tried downloading it when this was first posted. I couldn't get it to take.

yep - partitioning your hard drive is the best of both worlds and there never seems to be a good time to do it.EREmpireStrikesBack wrote:If I ever get unlazy and put the dual-boot bootcamp on, I will have no problem.

Nice! Way to carry the torch for Minnesota! I was playing on Monday, but last night I went to the Armstrong/Edina game and didn't bother playing afterward.theoneandonly1 wrote:Hey Govs where have you been lately? Haven't seen you in a while. I finally got in my first BMOC Game tonight, but I finished last.
Listen wiseguy... I was back on track on Monday - for the most part. I was carrying the Central a good chunk of the night, and took the overall a couple of times toward the end. "Baseball Movies" was a quick fix for me - nobody seems to remember that Tony Curtis was in a Bad News Bears movie!schwang17 wrote:He's too busy licking his wounds...

I'm just givin' ya some crap...afterall you introduced me to this game, and I must say, I enjoy it...
That "Baseball Hall of Fame" round tonight was the best I've ever seen in one room in that game. I felt guilty for taking it.schwang17 wrote:Govs93 wrote:Listen wiseguy...

I guess for anybody who hasn't seen it, I probably could have posted a link to this earlier on to give you a better idea of what GameShow is.
Do your best to ignore the "dork factor" of their spokesperson... don't know who where they dug up that guy.

I try. We'll see where it gets me in that tournament this week. I know I'm going to end up in an hour loaded with basketball questions, so I'll end up getting my backside handed to me.schwang17 wrote:Nice rankings Natron/Gramps/Govs...
I'm tryin' to catch up but there are alot of die-hards!
I can see it coming...
One of the guys is trying to run a tourney of the the top 32 players starting on Wednesday. You might want to check the "Forums" on the GameShow website to throw your hat in the ring as an alternate if you're going to be around (theoneandonly is already one). I would guess he's going to run into problems with no-shows, so if you can weasel in, it might be a good chance to make a move on the big guns (if you care... I'm not sure I do).schwang17 wrote:Which tourney?Govs93 wrote:I try. We'll see where it gets me in that tournament this week.
