Couldn’t find mention of this on the boards, but there are now three more games on [YetiSports](http://www.yetisports.org/e_playonline.php#), the folks who bring you Pingu Throw. ---

Good clean fowl-flinging fun I can’t do the Orca Slap thang to save my life 😕 (tho’ I can’t imagine what strange straits I would be in that my preservation required me to demonstrate prowess at hitting airborne penguins with snow-balls) ---

Noooooooooooooo!!! I had 1230 after three throws on seal bounce. I could have lofted 2 more straight safely in the air for 290s and gotten a good solid position in the top 1000. But I had to be greedy and tried for #1, and choked on my fourth throw for 110, and 5 for 220. I am obsessed with getting in the top 1000 now. ---

Yesssssssssssssssssss! Seal bounce 1789.43 Baby! This time I took a safe wussy last throw. That’s me at number 103 🆒 of course, if had wussed out I probably would have made the too 100. Cause I get 320 at least 80 percent of the time, and if I had pulled a 410 or so I’d have made the top 10, but thats an obsession for tommorow. ---

Hm. Game #3 isn’t working for me either, but it did several weeks ago. Anyway, in that game, I like to keep track of “total distance” on the left, rather than just height. Distance will be at least twice height, but if you hit enough seals, it’ll go way above that. ---

With the Orca Slap… I can’t quite figure out if I’m supposed to be aiming the cursor at the penguins or at the target. Either way, half the penguins end up in the water. Haven’t gotten a total past 500 yet. ---
