I really did have a blast up there Inferno and it was a first for me. It was a great experience and I think all of us that were posting had a great time.

Unfortunately not everyone wants to post, for whatever their own personal reason is, and for them a walkthrough is in order.

I think if we took apart the two threads and cut and paste the posts in order of the game, pretty much every move has been covered anyways.

Ana :HNY:

Did I tell you that I've almost finished the epic poem?

Excellent Inferno! I can't wait to see it all together.

You need to get your priorities in order. If time for adventure gaming is suffering, the boys have got to go. And maybe the husband. Now there will be enough time for adventure gaming and running the dogs. No, don't thank me; always glad to help.

(p.s. Easy for me to say; my kids are on their own now and I kept my wife .)

Sir Dave --- you are just tooooooooooo funny.

I on the other hand -- both of my boys are grown and live 3000 miles away from me. and I got rid of my husband.

I agree with Mad. I am also retired and find that I use a walk thru as a guide to show me the "way" when I get confused or stuck. A walkthru can also help understand how to do a puzzle so that makes it more fun for me to complete.

I love to play my games first thing in the morning with my coffee! (That's about 4AM when I wake up)

You are so clever SirDave.

Why didn't I think of that! (But the hubby and eldest son must stay. I have way too much invested at this point, aww heck, they all must stay) I must rearrange the rest I guess.

I say you should dump the job. (Keep us! Keep us!)

But....if I dump the job, I can't afford my games. <sigh> It's all so finely intertwined and I just can't see anything being eliminated without upsetting the balance.

Eureka!!! I got it! Who needs sleep??? I've just gained an extra 5 hours a day!

Gaming through the night -- studies have shown that the mind is sharpest at 3:AM anyway.

Thank you for an informative and humorous thread.

I'm lucky that I'm retired, but have my dogs and my games. I don't have to juggle time and admire those that still do and are doing a fine job of it.
The games help alleviate the times I begin to feel totally bored, such as in poor weather. I'm not an avid gamer and some games are quite enjoyable but times they just don't click as to what's next. I would give up on them if there were no resources to go to; it would have then lost it's entertainment value and like Ana said, I don't like wandering in the same old scenerio day after day. Thus, walkthroughs, hints, and many times deep pondering; of course I do try to ponder a lot before seeking help.

Now see, you folks got me totally side-tracked; stopped at this forum for the desert island, then forgot about it.

I wasn't part of that study, Becky. Mine's about as sharp as a slice of bread at 3 AM.

I made that up.

What a fun conversation for the new year!
For me, as you all have said...it's all about "time." It is limited, finite, period.It is important to choose wisely how we spend it.I am particularly sensitive to this issue due to some health issues that are pending that I won't bore you with. Suffice it to say, I very much enjoy spending time in this forum, and only in gaming do you get a walkthrough option ....keep 'em coming.... but this was very fun to "converse" our way through the game.Thanks also for sharing a bit of your(other life(s) with us too.
Can't wait for your epic, Inferno.

It's finished
