Mornin' all! Sorry I'm a little later than I like to be.
Today's Question(s): Are you fond of games? Sure. If so, what do you play most often: Board games? Card games? Dice/domino games? Role-playing games? Tabletop games (takes a whole tabletop to play it; Magic: The Gathering, Carcassone, etc.)
What is your favorite? Taboo a word game where you try and guess a word without using the word itself or five additional words listed on the card. I also like Spades.
Just for Fun: When you go to the movies, your favorite restaurant, ride public transporation, etc., do you try to sit in the same seat, or do you change it up every time you go? Don't care where I sit.
Bonus Question: How many times have you seen "The Wizard of Oz?" Once? Or have you never seen it?

Today’s Word: ne plus ultra Pronunciation: (NE ploos OOL-trah, NEE/NAY pluhs uhl-truh) Meaning: noun: The ultimate or the perfect example of something. Etymology: From Latin, literally, not further beyond. Earliest documented use: 1637. Notes: It's said that the Pillars of Hercules at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar had this Latin phrase inscribed. It served as a warning to sailors not to go beyond the limit of the known world. The national motto of Spain, on the other hand, is "Plus ultra". Usage: "The greatest car in the world, the automotive ne plus ultra."

If so, what do you play most often:
Board games?
Card games?
Dice/domino games?
Role-playing games?
Tabletop games (takes a whole tabletop to play it; Magic: The Gathering, Carcassone, etc.)
I like word games, hidden object games and a photography game (all games played on the computer)
What is your favorite?
Hidden Objects: Any of the Big City Adventure games
Word Game: Flip Words and Flip Words 2
Photography: Snapshot Adventures: Secret of Bird Island: Better "shots" get you more points on birding adventures in different states using different equipment. You learn birds by playing.
I also like all of the Bejeweled games.
Just for Fun:
When you go to the movies, your favorite restaurant, ride public transporation, etc., do you try to sit in the same seat, or do you change it up every time you go?
I prefer to sit at a table instead of a booth in a restaurant and I can't ride backwards on public transportation or in a limo but no same seats.
Bonus Question:
How many times have you seen "The Wizard of Oz?"
Or have you never seen it?
Location: The Circle City. Sometimes NE of Bagdad.

What is your favorite?
I only play some of the games on CD. I do not have any interest in other online games.
They are okay overall but I do not have anyone to play with. Scrabble would be cool.

I'm happy if I can get any seat on the subway system here but most of the time it's not too bad. Getting a seat can be challenging especially during rush time or if there is an event in DC.
I go to about one movie a year. I like to sit about a thrird of the way back from the screen.
At a restaurant I always ask for a booth. What I hate about going to a restaurant is the "just one?" I get about half the time I go, and that is before I ask for the booth.
