No, I'm not gonna do it, I'm not gonna do it, nope, not me!



Nope, I am NOT gonna check out the SG for the string puzzle, nope.



But after having to resort to paper and pen for the maths puzzle, and having crashed my plane I don't know how many times on the Eiffel Tower, on the clouds, on the mountains, and having to go back to London so many times before I managed to get to India, and having had to get up and leave the computer during at least 3 other puzzles today to clear my head before I tackled them again, can I really hold out with this stupid string puzzle?



Oh boy is Shiver 4: The Lily's Requiem CE great!  Hardly any adventure; it's all really long, challenging HOPs (some very original) and some super challenging (ie. super frustrating but what a feeling when you FINALLY get them out!) puzzles.  I even like doing up my room for when I've finished my adventure and settled down to restarting my medical practice, as it gives me a break from all those HOPs and puzzles.  And Marmaduke even amuses me when I feed him and check out all the new decorations I've found for his fishtank, as it also gives me a bit of a break.  And I think I just got the medal for finding 100 black pearls! 



So far I'm so glad I got the CE so I get my room to go to for a bit of a break, as well as collecting all the collectibles (black pearls which aren't as easy to find as one thinks, and decorations for my fish tank, which I normally only find by clicking on absolutely everything in every scene as they're really well hidden), and you can also replay all the HOPs (and possibly the puzzles?) and also play Battleship and a pinball machine.  It'll all depend on the bonus chapter but at the moment I don't want this game to finish so I'm really looking to the bonus chapter, even though I haven't yet burnt all the lilies to defeat the siren.  But before I can do that I have to work out this stupid string puzzle!



And I am NOT gonna check out the SG, nope!


 

Isn't that weird.  If I find I'm going in circles I do that too.  Stop and regroup.  Another thing that works for me sometimes, an odd thing, works when I can't find an item in an HO scene too.  I turn my head and look at it peripherally.  sometimes just that different perspective helps.  I know I know.

As for 40F.! Brrr.  I keep my house temp set the same as Sun does for day and night.  That Aussie blood must retain the sunshine!

I started playing Mountain Trap Manor of Memories.  So far it's quite interesting.  A rather chilly atmosphere.  Very desolate in and an empty ski resort.

50F?  and now 40 because your heating oil is low? Yikes!  And I thought I kept my heat down with it at 63F during the day and 56F when I go to bed!

Hello Anki    It is nice to see you back.  27 days without the internet,  Yikes!    You sure did put your time to good use though. 

oscar...Well at least now you know what game you were thinking about.  Funny how sometimes you just come across the answer.

I finished Lost Legends: The Weeping Woman.  What a great game and I much enjoyed it.  I got the SE and the ending was complete, so no cliffhangers  but I think I would have liked the CE on this one.  First off it was so pretty that I bet the wallpapers were really good and the CE had morphing flowers and collectible skulls and from what I read in the reviews the bonus was a completely different lost legend.

For Drawn: The Painted Tower I found a helpful post from cesse47 that tells me how to do the puzzle and I now know the principle of it, doing it correctly is another matter.  I spent 30 minutes tinkering with it and almost had it.  Tonight I am going back in to tackle it again. At this point I am not going to throw in the towel.  I can get this.

Only 35 mins of    before I can be again !!!!

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !
