That seems out and out difficult. :)<br /><br />I personally think very highly of them making the slot game a puzzle instead of a reloading simulator. Particularly given slots are literally a zero skill game (at least blackjack in LSL/poker in PQ can be gamed to a degree) this is a very notable change.

That would have kept the joke from SQ4 intact and provided an opportunity for humor that this place was so in the sticks that they could not even afford a full set of colors. <br /><br />And the pod is appearing in the wrong place. Just details wrong that really makes me feel they could have done better.
