| 0:00.0 | The Dice Tower, Episode 100, Part Duh. |
| 0:06.1 | The Dice Tower is hosted by Fun Again Games. |
| 0:09.6 | Funnigan Games is not only on the web at www.funaganGames.com, but also has two store locations, |
| 0:16.4 | one in Ashland, Oregon, and the other in Littleton, Colorado. |
| 0:19.7 | Most of the games mentioned in this episode can be found there, so for the best selection |
| 0:23.2 | in games, visit Fun Again Games. |
| 0:27.4 | All right, we've been talking about the time that we've been spending in over the last 25 |
| 0:33.7 | episodes, and we talked about, I guess we're up to episode 25, which doesn't seem very far, |
| 0:39.0 | but we're talking more about the earlier ones. In episode 25, we talked about our, we called it |
| 0:43.5 | the definitive 33 categories of games. And it's not so definitive because I actually want to |

| 1:34.1 | And in episode 30, which I think could possibly be one of our highest rated episodes ever, |
| 1:41.9 | I thought, let's get a whole bunch of contributors in. |
| 1:44.7 | And so we had many people come and give their favorite games from the year 2005. |
| 1:50.2 | And a few of these contributors were Rick Thornquist and Ted Cheatham. |
| 1:55.1 | Hey, boys, this is Rick Thornquist, and Tom has asked me to put together a top ten list of my favorite games for the year. |
| 2:02.9 | These lists are always torture to do, but seeing as Tom's such a good guy, I decided to take some time and put together my list. |
| 2:10.3 | So that's, you know... |
