lmao
really
Achievement Unlocked! "Loneliness" Spend 5+ hours on Solitaire.
Minesweeper Achievement Unlocked: "Sucks For You!" - Have less than 10% of mines left and lose.
They have Minesweeper and Sudoku achievements in the Windows phone versions already. :v:
-snip
This might be a nice little addition for people like my mom. She plays Solitaire on her laptop for about an hour a day.
I can't wait for the DLC!
"Ultimate Ballcrusher" - Play a game with 999 mines and lose after flagging 998 of them.
They have had them on Windows Phone for months now. :suicide:

"Do Not Pass Go" - blow up a mine on the first click.
[QUOTE=helpiminabox;37133350]"Do Not Pass Go" - blow up a mine on the first click.[/QUOTE] You can't do that I think, every pattern is randomly generated when you click for the first time and it can't be a mine. At least that's what I heard! Unless you replay a level, which is probably still in the W8's Minesweeper
" Internet is still down " - Finish your second game of solitaire
"Is that your boss behind you?" - Play the game for two hours straight between 9AM and 5PM
Wait, does that mean Minesweeper now has Games for Windows Live?
Preordering it right now!!!
Hardcore, can't wait for the DLC!

This is the moment I've been waiting for all my life <3
Gimmicks everywhere.
Now waiting for Minesweeper DLCs in W9. I bet it's gonna be like you basically can't play unless you buy "Season Pass" DLC for $15. [QUOTE=Juggernog;37134886]Wait, does that mean Minesweeper now has Games for Windows Live?[/QUOTE] 1) There's no GFWLive, it's a part of Xbox Live now. 2) You're kinda correct, Minesweeper now has integration with Xbox Live and achievements. Kinda cause see 1).
Yes microsoft this will surely attract more people towards W8.
WINDOWS 8: All the unnecessary changes you ever wanted in windows!
[QUOTE=MajorMattem;37142925]WINDOWS 8: All the unnecessary changes you ever wanted in windows![/QUOTE] It's like productivity went out of the window for desktop users.
[QUOTE=meppers;37130567]minesweeper looks sexy [IMG]http://liveside.net/wp-content/images/2012/08/Microsoft-Minesweeper-8.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] The smoothing of the boxes really doesn't go very well with the Metro thing. Nor does the icons.
[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;37150247]It's like productivity went out of the window for desktop users.[/QUOTE] No, that's why the desktop is still there and why they made Windows essentials 12 and Office 13 desktop programs. [editline]9th August 2012[/editline] Why is this even an issue? Some people need this shit to stay interested. The writer seems to have blown this a little out of proportion.
