[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 106728, member: 134"] Pretty funny, Fungi. I know exactly what you speak of with the Laserdiscs. I eventually amassed a collection of over 100 and could never decide what to watch. Then I started getting DVDs, and the decision got easy again. Until that collection grew. Now it happens with Blu Rays. What I came to the conclusion of was that I'll step to the rack with an idea of what mood I'm in, but once I start reading all the titles, I draw a blank and stare at the collection for 15 minutes. So instead I'll pull half way out any title that immediately jumps to mind. Often my thought process is, "oh wait! What about THIS movie?" and soon enough I've pulled 6 titles out. From THOSE I decide what I'm gonna watch. Do I put the remaining ones back in place? Nope, leave 'em out as a reminder for the next time. In essence you can do the same thing with TPA. Ask yourself if you're in the mood for a DMD game, or an alpha numeric. If none of the above, an EM it is! Then ask yourself if you wanna short game or long. Short is for those titles you may not be very good at yet. Sometimes I pick a long table just because what I'm really looking for is a game I can relax with, rather than a short one that stresses me out. I do think a 'shuffle' feature could be nice within TPA. I know when I'm looking for a song on my iPod and I have no idea what mood I'm in, throwing it on shuffle will a lot of times quickly put me on the path I want. Then once I'm enjoying a song, I put it on 'Genius' so I don't have to think about the next 25 song selections! Ya know, sometimes 1st World Problems are wonderful! [/QUOTE]
