Dude, I was on a roll a few years ago: pulling Scrabulous dividends, making major bank on real-estate investments way out in the corners of the board. I was so flush I paid some venture guys to do a cost-benefit analysis on the playability potential of “x-treme” and “x-factor.” We were all set to introduce the hyphen tile when the crash hit. This “8” tattoo on my pec? Meaningless. Got it in Bali. All I got left of my high-point days. Now I’m just trying to keep up my payments on the condo and get motivated to use the Wii, you know?
