TAN #187: sTANd and be counted! (Page 11)

Are we allowed to say that here??  BEWBS BUBES BOOOOOBS

Ruh Roh

What did you do and what did I miss?

That is probably for the best.

Gotta leave.  A colleague of mine got rear-ended by another vehicle not paying attention - my colleague was stuck in traffic and was stopped, and this woman came flying up behind doing about 45 or so and schmashed into her.  I have to go drop her off to go pick up her vehicle.

See ya.

This is truely a pitiful bunch.

Everone is all sore, sick, injured, tired, overworked...

Well I am all but sick.  Been pretty healthy of late and hoping it stays that way.

Las night on my way home from Chattenooga we were in the mustang, passing a semi.  The fron end was just coming up to his front trailer tires when I hear what sounds like between a shot and an explosion.  I found out at that moment A) how fast a mustange can accelerate to 90+ mph. B) How much I appreciate the steady nerves of our cox. and C) a semi blowing a tire right next to your car really wakes you up for the last 2 hours of a 9 hour drive.

I'm none of those things...

Me either.

but then again I had a good evening last night out for Mexican food and home for good conversation time in a hot tub and well more good conversation.

How far/long is the game?  I JUST went up the elevator to the tower with the "bomb" strapped to it and need to start my adventures up there.

I had to use the cheat twice on two impossible things (I mentioned them ealier) but I'm feeling good at my deductive skill and patience.

Well I'm glad you are rebounding well.  Sounded pretty rough for a while there.

That is a fine way to spend a Sunday evening! Well done

I am all those things but not overworked as I do not work.

I shall settle in after my lunch and play a little Machinarium.   I'm on a roll!

I had to use the cheat twice on two impossible things (I mentioned them ealier) but I'm feeling good at my deductive skill and patience.

I just got the drummer his drum. And got something from the dude in the wheelchair. I don't consider the "hints" you get from the spider game to be cheats. Without them it can be almost impossible to get through in some areas. I've not gone outside of the game for help yet. I'd rather walk away for it for awhile and co e back fresh to see if I can go at it differently. I didn't use any help,with the room ....even though I struggled badly in some spots.

Well then, no cheats.  I used the spider game "cheat" twice.  One for the drum and one for the bird...  I guess I'm further along.  I love that game and play if for hours at a time.

I was frustrated because I DID do what I needed to do to get the drum - several times and I just get the "head shake no"...  So I figured it didn't work and gave up.  When I found out from hints I was doing the right thing, but not at EXACTLY the right time, I was mad.

And the bird thing, well I would NEVER have gotten that either.  Again, I WAS doing the right thing, but not enough of it - so gave up again.

Sorry to be so criptic.  I don't want to spoil in for anyone.  We could always chat on the side.  There are couple things I figured out I can do, but not sure why they are important yet.

Which puzzle box are you on?  Did you get to the puzzle with the circle in the middle with the 4 marbles on the corners that move?

I finished yesterday. Tutorial ...easy. Chap 2 not bad. Got hung up on the very last thing for Chap 3. Chap 4 was easy for me. I've told a couple others about it too....they love it. . I really liked it.

It was good.  So, did you figure out to tilt the Ipad on your own?  They never explained that in the tutorial.  I knew I had to rotate the items, but messed around for 15 minutes trying to do it with my fingers...

Another time I could NOT find the next item.  looked and looked forever.  used the lense and everything. 

ON both, I used the hints to move on.  I hate doing that, but it's needed on occasion.  I just never want to rely on it.  Then the game is over too fast and I don't get the satisfaction.

Sometimes I have to sleep on it.  I was at a stalemate a couple times and just turned it off.  Powered it back up the next day to suddenly see something right away that I missed for hours the day before.

I feel so out of touch and lost not having these games that you speak of.
