Yeah, 3 was my favorite too. And let me guess, did those puzzles involve monkeys? I still need to get around to 5 and Uru one of these days.

Bottom line, do the video. Even if it isn't long, you have a valid opinion worth sharing.
The monkey one was terrible, but I also hated the "just a little to the left" puzzle at the beginning.

If you're gonna play Uru I'd suggest playing the MMO instead. It has the full game but more depth to it, HD graphics, more clothing options (yes it has a character creator), and fan made ages. The MMO itself is dead for the most part, but there are Facebook groups that do activities together.

Ah yes, the bullshit "audio" puzzle. I tried for a few minutes and then basically just gave up and tapped controls until I succeeded on it.

That's interesting about Uru. I think then that it would be better to avoid it for the time being and focus first on the mainline instead.

It’s a cool place. I enjoy living here, and it’s very different from NYC. Not sure it’s a major tourist destination, though, unless you plan on enjoying some activities around the city.

That said, shoot me a PM if you decide to come by. I’ll be sure to show you a nerdy good time (i.e., craft beer, dipped chicken, and video game stores!).
Absolutely! I’ll keep you posted of any plans! Thanks!!!
I own too many hoodies jackets hoodies and DS games and I’m not ashamed!

:D Power went out and work at Duck Donuts ended an hour early.

:cry: It was storming its ass off so I just went to Food Lion and hung out in the break room for about two hours.

Posted this in two Simpsons meme groups and got over 300 reacts and six shares between the two.

This one hasn't been approved yet in one of the groups and only has 13 reacts. And an obvious typo.

Considering I literally cranked them out on a ten-minute break they look pretty decent.

Yeah. They look like they took way longer than ten minutes.
