CREEPSTER  I'm not so sure that this is a Snow Leopard issue. I've been seeing this behavior for quite a while now. (Over 1000 games played) Like you, I have seen the go cards stick near the end of the end for both players and I have wound up with mostly go cards in the beginning. I had a string of hands where I had the Gas safety card at the start of the game and with that, an unusually large percentage of the regular gasoline cards.

I can only hope that this will either work itself out or the developer will come up with a fix. I'd also love to see this game as an iPhone app. I would pay for that.

CREEPSTER  I am so addicted to this game that the Total Time I have played it for is 10 days, 14 hours. Maybe because I have played it so much that the deck is really out of whack. There are games where I get a string of gasoline cards or I won't see a go card until over half the deck has been played. And then I may get dealt a bunch in a row.

I sure wish there was a different method for shuffling the cards to make it more random.

AMUSINGFOOL  This seems to be a Snow Leopard issue. Or at least I never ran into it until upgrading to snow leopard. Since that upgrade, I've had many hands (at least six) in only three games where I went 30 or more cards into the deck before seeing a single 'Go' card. In a couple of those, the computer also had no 'Go's.

I took two screenshots a few minutes ago, while playing. In the first, I've got a hand of seven 'Go's (achieved through a normal strategy of play). In the second, the computer just played the first go with 50 cards left in the deck (the only saving grace being that I got a matching 'Go' on my next draw). Those were from consecutive hands in the same game. And the first hand in that game had the worst clumping I'd ever seen, to that point (start with three spare tires, draw another on first draw, then get four gasolines in next six cards, etc).

In over five hundred games (reached 528 in April, only noted because that was the first time I'd scored exactly 5000, after ending a hand at 4975 at least five times (none of which, deliberately)) before the upgrade, I hadn't seen clumping that bad.

As you can guess from that many games played, yes, I like it, overall.

CREEPSTER  How about Snow Leopard compatibility? I'll purchase as soon as that happens because I already upgraded to SL. I guess I'll try a rip on the demo and check it out.

CREEPSTER  MTR 3 hasn't been updated in almost a year and a half. RipIt is being updated constantly. It's a no-brainer.

So, the question is this. If 3.0, the paid version, hasn't been updated in a while, how good is 2.6.6 going to work when it's not being updated at all. RipIt is less than $20. Why bother jumping through the MTR hoops to make a "donation"?

CREEPSTER  I guess Mechamania didn't realize that the question I posed was Rhetorical. It did not require a response. It was more of a statement alluding to the fact that MTR 2.6.6 is old and not being updated.

Sorry for the confusion.

CREEPSTER  Why is this still listed as the weekly popular on MacUpdates home page? There hasn't been any new development for quite a while and RipIt is always being updated. MTR 2.6.6 is old stuff and barely works with any new disks out there.

CLIQUE OF ONE  MacTheRipper (MTR) 2.6.6 is the last "free" or trial version. MTR is currently donationware (paid application) and has been updated to MTR 3.0.14m, that I'm aware of.

MECHAMANIA  I hadn't realized it was rhetorical. I just thought it was a stupid question. Nothing personal. The vagaries of plain text posts... and you get a lot of stupid questions around these parts. I always say, "there are no stupid questions," but what I really mean is that I'll try to answer any question that isn't in some way out-of-line, no natter how banal. Yet, I'm here grabbing another copy of MTR. Still has it's uses for my older discs that I wanna preserve using my newer computer. I'll have to check out that RipIt deal. Thanks, and sorry for the confusion.

CREEPSTER  I am using 10.4.11 on an Intel iMac. The file DL's as maclampsx.dmg.bz2.

If I double click it and allow Apple's opener to try, it then becomes maclampsx.dmg.bz2.cpgz.

If I double click that, it changes to maclampsx.dmg2.bz2. And so on and so on.

If I use stuffit expander on the D/L, it opens to what appears to be a proper dmg file, but then I'll get a warning that says "The following disk images failed to mount"

Reason - no mountable file systems.

I have never seen this type of behavior before.

CREEPSTER  Great program. It really adds a zing to the desktop. Run this and iTunes in the background with some Christmas music and you'll really get into the spirit.

My only wish would be that it played MIDI files. I ahve a ton of Xmas ones.

CREEPSTER  Beta 11 introduces some new bugs of its own. During play, even when you can clearly put down milage cards, the newest version sometimes won't allow you play those cards. Beta 10 worked great.

I do like the new features but not the bugs.

CREEPSTER  After I installed this, (1.3), the only things that were on screen were the bats. I had to turn on the interactive mode,(paid for), and then there were gaps in the characters until the skeleton walked around them. Then they filled in. The sound was a little jumpy as well. Going back to 1.2.
