I showed my badge and the mugshot to the agent (only the agents who are busy with other people have information). She said he bought a ticket. Ask about ticket. Ask about Bains. "Who's Bains??" No way could I learn anything about Houston. <br /><br />Don't even get me started on that god damn Hall who is either "busy on the phone" or "busy eating ice cream." In fact I was reprimanded by the game for taking too long in the parking lot!<br /><br />And I am astonished that I have to "discover" places I can drive to. What on earth?? I didn't even know the airport had an upstairs until the hours long failed search. What an awful game.Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998295823683672454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-73592132611157225982012-07-21T14:31:48.329+10:002012-07-21T14:31:48.329+10:00Good luck on the bar exam!

But Amnesia is the only game I've EVER had to stop playing because of its unremitting bleakness; I found it was actually getting to me and I began dreading the thought of playing it... it became an ordeal rather than a pleasurable experience.<br /><br />The Penumbra games, while also very unnerving, I found extremely enjoyable. They sit in the genre's Mt. Olympus alongside gems like Dark Fall and Scratches.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04860506019349657883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-27537887553693089202012-07-20T19:24:47.326+10:002012-07-20T19:24:47.326+10:00What?!
