Over the past month or so, I have been playing a fair bit of minesweeper. You know what minesweeper is, that silly little game that comes with Windows. You probably wonder why I have been playing it, because it is a boring game to play and there are real games available, for purchasing or for obtaining illegally. The main reason of doing it is to compete with a friend. We have been trying to get the lowest score out of the both of us.

After the many hours playing Minesweeper, I have become pretty decent at it, to the point where in a lot of instances, I don’t have to think about where to click, I just click right. My high scores on each of the modes are as follows, beginner at an amazing 6 seconds, intermediate at a quick 85 seconds and advanced as a decent 342 seconds. I’m sure anyone could beat those scores so go ahead, if I can do it that quick/slow, you must be able to do it much faster.

With all the hours of Minesweeper down my sleeve, the game has turned into an obsession. I think about minesweeper and dream about minesweeper. I think that is one sign of insanity and I must now put my minesweeper glove and mouse down and move on to bigger and better things. I enjoyed playing and trying to get the fastest time I could.
