Hi Jen, I'm plodding along but haven't played it for the last two days, and I'll be out all day today, lots do driving so I'm not sure ill be mentally competent to play tonight lol.  You definitely have more task than I do at this point.  I seem to be meandering around a lot and retrace old ground although I have found a couple of new places.

OK, finished this tonight. In the end I completed 116 tasks, and I ended up with the following in my inventory:

runny nose meds
screwdriver
jaws
key
nail clipper
dictaphone
microphone

I had to use the Hint button twice. Once when I couldn't find the receipt for the locker room, even though I knew I found it early on the first time I played. The other time wasn't 100% required because I already had my plane ticket, but I wanted to know how to find the maniac.

I think I remember people mentioning that there were a maximum of 122 tasks total, though some are optional. The one thing that I know I wasn't able to figure out was at the Theater. I thought that I should (spoilers hidden) match the type of note with the the height of the player, i.e. the heighest note given to the tallest musician. I tried several times and then gave up. If someone could tell me if I was on the right track, I'd be grateful. If anyone remembers I'd also like to know how my leftover items were used by other people. I remember seeing one of the musicians in the poster wiping his nose, so I'm assuming that's what the runny nose medicine would be used for if I'd gotten past the Theater puzzle. Just curious.

Jen, the runny nose medicine, screwdriver, nail clippers and jaw went to the hospital. I guess you missed that place altogether. It was really weird to get to. The key could be used there as well. 

For the musicians, I had to go to the forum and get the exact placement.

My mini review:
In many ways this is my favorite type of game, although I did have some problems with it. 

I loved the gameplay so much -- picking up multiple tasks (some easy, some a little more challenging) and collecting lots of items in different ways as you go along. I most loved there being an open-ended world to explore in whatever order you want, as well as having multiple routes to progress instead of one linear path you have to follow.

But the tone of the game and the attempts at humor rubbed me the wrong way. I didn't find a lot of it funny. Way too much toilet humor. And some of the humor just didn't make sense to me -- maybe lost in translation? However, the gameplay was so unique, and there was so much that I loved that I had no problem overlooking the stuff I didn't like. I really enjoyed playing this.
