I know there was an earlier thread involving some controversy. I'm reminded of a past Regis Philbin Millionaire episode where one of the "Three Wise Men" was Charles Preston, introduced by Regis as "America's foremost authority on crosswords and acrostics." I imagine that's controversal also.

The latest MGC episodes have an XBox 360 tie-in. Ads running on the program announce that crosswords are coming to XBox Live Arcade. My son and son-in-law play Halo 3 on XBox Live (uses an Internet DSL connection). I'm curious about solving a crossword puzzle using a game controller!

Doable, but it would make way more sense to plug a USB keyboard or a ChatPad in.

Six words:

Him and Shortz. Steel cage match.

That'll settle it once and for all.
