Well, Sam and I finished Prince of Persia

Well, Sam and I finished Prince of Persia. The ending was poingnant - funny with a touch of sadness and longing. Well done. I did have a few moments of frustration with some extremely difficult twitch gaming. Fortunatly my teenager's reflexes returned to me and I was able to finish it off.

Now there's a bunch of NWN modules that I'd like to play. I finished one over the weekend, though I think it scared Sam a little. I'll have to remember not to play games with ghosts right before bedtime.



Prince of Persia seems to have somehow worked...

Prince of Persia seems to have somehow worked it's way into Sam and I's regular life. We'll make jokes about wall running and we try to get a half hour or so of the game under our belts before he goes to bed. I think we're getting down to the very end, with only a couple hours to go. It's sort of sad, like getting to the last few pages of a great book.

As an aside, my Neverwinter Nights modules are up for a vote for module of the year. It looks pretty likely that I'll win too, which is sort of neat. I'm racking up those bonus nerd points.



Prince of Persia arrived on our doorstep yest...

Prince of Persia arrived on our doorstep yesterday, which Sam and I have been playing. It's a fighting game with strong jumping puzzle elements, which I usually hate. It's done very well, however, so that it's not that frustrating to play. The movement is incredibly fluid and it looks beautiful on the screen.

Emma did manage to crash the game while bouncing up and down on the keyboard. She'd found the Print Screen button which creates a screen shot and generated several hundred of them in a few seconds time. The computer didn't like it.

Sam's been wanting to reinact scenes from the game, running along walls and doing amazing jumps. He learned the hard way that trying to run up a wall sort of hurts (mostly it's running into a wall). We had a very funny moment when I helped him run up the wall and he did a flip to sit on my head.
