Finished!

I have not fallen off the face of the earth. It has been a busy week. There were dissertation prospectus defenses and sockday parties and web 2.0 community meetups. I have been a busy beaver!

I did manage to stay up until 4:00 on Wednesday and finish Professor Layton. I was really excited to get to the extra puzzles that were based on how completely you have finished the game, but I was sorely disappointed. Not so much in the game as in myself. The puzzles were the same puzzles that you find in the game (and one might argue a bit more difficult), but I found myself almost totally disinterested in them when they were not connected to or advancing an ongoing narrative!

Wow, now that says a lot. I found the puzzles too easy in most cases, but I continued to play the game because I wanted to see what happened next in the simple (yet engaging) story. There is definitely a lot to be said for a good narrative.

Oh well, it's almost 5:30 so I guess I really should head off to bed. DST really sucks for me right now!
