BackgammonMasters.com is an online gaming software provider that has consistently broken new ground, set new trends, and raised the bar in the online gaming community since their inception. Online gamers can trully continue to expect great things from BackgammonMasters.com.

When they [BackgammonMasters] first began they offered backgammon, which at the time was not too popular of an online game compared to games such as poker and blackjack and thus could hardly be found anywhere. You could say they took a bit of a gamble with that idea, a gamble that paid off royally. Immediately upon their beginning, Backgammon Masters offered an all in one gaming platform, something that had never been done before and a feature that is rarely found elsewhere. What does this all in one gaming platform mean exactly? It means that in a single download you not only get backgammon, but other games, like perudo, as well. Players have access to multiple games and can switch to a different game by simply entering a new “lobby” and it’s all available at a single price.

Then there is the fact that BackgammonMasters has their own mascot; Jean-Claude the highly successful backgammon playing animated tiger who dishes out helpful tips and hints for real life and gaming as well as providing some entertainment and enjoyment as well. Jean-Claude is not only their mascot (with his own mini series to boot) but he has become a staple of the online gaming community as well. There is hardly a place you can go online where you won’t see a picture of this tiger!

Now Backgammonmasters has introduced poker for real money to their all in one lobby and to celebrate the launch of real money poker at BackgammonMasters.com they are, for a limited time only, offering up games with no house commission (rake). If you’re a serious gamer looking to rake in the bucks online then I would suggest heading on over and taking advantage of the rake-free period while it lasts.

What the hell? What is so fascinating about this broad being behind bars where she belongs? Why is the media being so stupid as to shell out the big bucks to interview her? It doesn’t make sense to me. She has no acting, singing,, or writing talent. She doesn’t have a big heart and isn’t involved in any worthwhile charities and organizations, so what makes tis woman worth paying so much to speak to for such minor sentences?

Calling all Reno 911! Miami The Movie fans, in case you haven’t heard the movie is now out and available to own on dvd. Have you gotten your copy yet? If not, and you’re a fan, than what are you waiting for? Get out there and buy it, we’ll still be here waiting for you.

Now for those who have already purchased their dvds let’s play some Reno 911! games! On the official website for the dvd there are four different games slash activites for fans to peruse. From shoot ‘em up types to view and rate, there is definately one that anyone can get into. The games offered are: Most Wanted, Calling All Units, Midnight Shootout, and PSA are the four games available to you. Naturally I selected Most Wanted.

Most Wanted is more of an activity rather than a game really. You can view and rate the most wanted posters made by other fans. Some are pretty simple and others, like this Michael Jackson-esque one and this bad hair one, are just hysterical.

If you’re a fan, or even if you’re just bored and looking for something to do, head on over to the Reno 911! Miami! dvd’s official website and play some games! And if you’re a fan of comedy and action then head on out to your local media store and pick yourself up a copy.

Crooks in an underground chat room for selling stolen credit card numbers and personal consumer information offered pilfered data purportedly about Herman Munster, the 1960s Frankenstein-like character from “The Munsters” TV sitcom.

The thieves apparently didn’t realize Munster was a fictional TV character and dutifully offered to sell Munster’s personal details — accurately listing his home address from the television series as 1313 Mocking Bird Lane — and what appeared to be his MasterCard number. Munster’s birth date was listed as Aug. 15, 1964, suspiciously close to the TV series’ original air date in September 1964.

CardCops Inc., the Malibu, Calif., Internet security company that quietly recorded details of the illicit but wayward transaction, surmised that a Munsters fan knowledgeable about the show deliberately provided the bogus data.

I find it to be completely hysterical that some fans made up this fictious information and sold it to these crooks who in turn tried to sell it. Looks like they never even realized that it was completely and utterly fake. I mean who here hasn’t heard of The Munsters? I loved watching that show as a kid, better than The Adams Family really.

Poor crooks were made to look like the idiots that they are.
