Woo! A rhyming Let’s Play! Ricochet was the best Breakout clone ever, at the time. Well, it wasn’t. It wasn’t even nearly the best. And Arcanoid and Batty and Krakout were all much better. But the thing with Ricochet was the scrolling message on the title screen. It’s amazing. Seriously. And it goes on for hours.
No apologies for the very poor pun in the title. It was business involving crows. And there’s really nothing like it. Last year, we heard scratching in our (bricked up) chimney. About a week later, the scratching stopped. Whatever had fallen in had either died or escaped, but we didn’t know what it was at the time. A bird? A mouse? A dog? OK, probably not a dog. About three weeks after the scratching stopped, we noticed a few bluebottles …
I’m having a bit of a DS kick at the moment. Perhaps it’s the soon-to-be-released 3DS that’s reminded me about it? Or maybe the fun I had at the ugvm meet playing Mario Kart? Who knows! Henry Hatsworth is a game I’ve had on my shelf, unplayed, for some time now. Much like many games I own. When it came out, many people bought it thinking it was going to be like Professor Layton, but I was not one of …

I’m actually feeling more and more intelligent with each puzzle completed. I’m finding I get a sense of smugness when I spot the “trick” on the trick question puzzles instantly. Then I get stuck on a hard one that is completely and utterly impossible. Bah. Story-wise, I’ve just reached Chinatown, but the guy I’m looking for has done a runner. Puzzle-wise, I’m just over 60 puzzles in. Time-wise, that’s about 6 hours. Chapter-wise, I’m on Chapter 8 (I think). No …

With the previous game completely completed, I was able to move on to this one, which I got for Christmas. Unsurprisingly, it’s more of the same, only (obviously) with a different story. I’ve only done 8 very simple puzzles so far, and not really opened the story much (I’ve only just got to the clock shop), so there’s not much there to comment on yet. However, one massive improvement to the game is how the memo function works – in …
Yes! Yes yes yes! Not that Harry Potter nonsense – this is actual Lego Pirates! Just think how AWESOME that will be. Answer: VERY.
Aaaaaaall done. And I mean done. All the puzzles in the story, all the extra stuff like the tea set and hamster thing, all the bonus puzzles, and all 33 of the weekly puzzles. And the Curious Village Bonus done too. DONE. ALL. DONE. Everything. I will point out this: I hate slidey shape block “escape” puzzles. Grr! And variations on Solitaire. They can sod off too. If the next game has lots of either I might get stabby.

This guy here has made this fantastic mini arcade cabinet out of a netbook-sized screen and a mini-ITX board, although he says you could just stuff a 10″ netbook in there. And I want one. I mean, just LOOK!
