Valley Games Pre-orders and YTMT stuff

I haven't seen it posted elsewhere here, I thought I would toss out that Valley Games has their pre-ordering system re-enabled through Eagle Games . Which I guess is FRED, which is FunAgain? Something like that anyway. Titan, pre-orders, a smidge under $49. Done and done.

 I'll take hell for this here, I am sure, but I've been enojoying myself over at YourTurnMyTurn.com .  (The anglicized jijbent.nl.) It provides what amounts to PBEM java tableaux for a smattering of Euros and abstracts. The tournaments are cool, and I made it to the finals in Lost Cities, semis in Holomino, and I get royally HUMPED in StreetSoccer. Just humped, brutal.  Some games they have are a poor fit; like Tally Ho! which can just take FOREVER. Backgammon goes pretty quick, though, and the developers listen to the players for tweaks and adjustments. I can't get used to their Scrable-variant though--you have 8 tiles and blanks can be used as different things in different directions. I'm jeblucas over there if anyone wants a game.
