I think I just do my own thing and you guys can tell me when your experience differs from mine. I'm not too worried about my rating of the game reflecting my chosen path only. After all, I can only rate a game based on my own experience (with perhaps a small adjustment based on feedback from others).The Tricksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419316208187255801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-42819078920411490932013-07-30T17:59:57.160+10:002013-07-30T17:59:57.160+10:00Actually, you know there might still be one sittin...Actually, you know there might still be one sitting in my dad's shed.

Never goes down, and updates quickly to each new Firefox version, though you may have to use the website instead of the official version. And yes, Firefox Sync means it will work with that 'cloud' garbage.

It might seem stupid for me to not want to talk about Adandonware sites when I'm obviously getting a lot of these games from them, but I think advertising them could lead somewhere none of us want to be.

I think we should really be pointing out alienate solutions after one has popped up and such. Between us all I'd suggest we've probably got a pseudo expert on most of the games that are soon to come anyway. <br /><br />So long as we don't force Trick to constantly double back needlessly to get a funny screen or two, where's the harm?
