TPiR Recap - 5/22/2014

[vadernader]

I'm getting really tired of this.  We understand that you apparently base your assessment of which showcase was better entirely upon which one was more expensive.  You don't need to post it every day, especially when we can all tell which one you're going to pick just by looking at the recap.

I think the same can be said about picking games that were "The Good"/"The Bad" by solely looking at which was won and which was lost. It's kinda clear from the recap which was which!

So..............Does that mean I should stop that as well, then?

I don't choose which is the better Showcase (in my own opinion) based solely on which is more expensive. I base it on quality, and to me, the Showcase with the boat, spa, and trip to Laguna Beach were better quality. Plus, I'm not much of a trip person.

Take 5/20/14, for instance. Even though the Showcase with the truck was more expensive, I thought the "Greatest Showcase on Earth" Showcase was better (because I love circuses, and I thought it had a good theme).

Dude, you said in your own post that one showcase was better than the other because it was more expensive.  You can't have it both ways.

Dude, you said in your own post that one showcase was better than the other because it was more expensive.

I neglected to mention the quality of the Showcase.

Besides, I prefer a sailboat over a trip.

BTW, in each recap, moneygamelover claims that any Showcase with an automobile in it is the better Showcase (if each Showcase has an automobile in it, he does not choose which is better for some reason). But not all automobiles are that good.

[Mallory16]

All automobiles are good.  Some are better than others, but I'd be more than happy with any car I won.
