Today I'll be appearing as a contestant on a little internet radio quiz show called Anyone Can Play, which you can hear at 6PM Eastern time all week long via Shokus Radio. If I'm the champion of the day, I'll take home the grand prize of $25-- enough to pay for my current obsession. Curse you, Matthew Baldwin!

Posted by: Matthew on March 13, 2007 02:05 PMWhen he asked the first question, "32" popped into my head immediately. Then I heard "28, 42, or 36" as the choices. Sigh...
And could the final question be any more ironic?

Posted by: Nathan on March 13, 2007 02:49 PMPeter, Peter, where's the love? We open our hearts and our conference room to you twice a week, and this is the thanks we get? You don't have to send people off to PopCap.

For sale.
Isn't PopCap the original developer for Peggle? What does MSN Games add to the party?
That said, I don't see the attraction for this one. Peggle seems more like a toy than a game. After three or four bounces, each shot might as well be purely random (not surprising, given the Pachinko roots). From then, you're just watching the game play itself and eating up the eye candy.
