The Roll of the Dice

I love a game called Dice Wars, if you have never played this before, and you like strategy games give it a shot, it will drive you insane. I'm pretty sure I have lost my mind and this game proves to me why I suck at checkers and never joined the military. The basic concept is that of Risk, there is a map of a made up country, you have four plots of "territory" with dice on them. The object is to roll your dice against dice of a neighbor, all controlled by the computer. This part of the game is luck and how the computer feels about you at the moment. You could have 6 die, the country you are attempting to take over could have two, but inexplicably you lose. I know statistically it is possible to out roll 6 die to 2 die but realistically, I have a better chance of being asked to join the Bon Jovi tour as a second guitarist rather than get beat by two die. Which brings me to ol' "No effing way" game basically this theory says that if you are doing too well the computer gets mad and decides there is no effing way you are going to win. This happened to me tonight and has happened many other eliciting foul language and cries of anguish on my part. But for some reason I keep coming back, hoping the computer will smile on me and allow me to win. I have a co-worker who has spent countless work hours on this game and seems to win often. Is it he is a better strategist or that the computer likes him better? I have my opinions on that,but would prefer to keep them to myself so as not to get sued for liable. On another note, Motley Crue has released a new album and the first single I think is called "Angels of L.A." this song rocks like the Crue are 20 years old and hungry again, in other words it's right up my alley. Niki Sixx also has a side project called Sixx A.M. every song is great. Check it out on youtube. Time for me to play one more No effing way game before bed...
