Good for you! I won my battle with the roses and have moved on to the other 6 perennial beds! I shall just to play vicariously through you for awhile yet, bigmamma!

Progress update:
I finally got past those pesky rats to the top of the asylum and got all the brains turned in. Got up the courage to try the tank battle for at least 1 round before giving up, but now I know what strategy to use,at least
I might add: I have played several RPGs with battles, but this one has by far the toughest and most frustrating battles and moves that I have ever seen.
This is going slowly because some days I'm playing another game-don't know if I'll ever finish his one.

I'm with you on this one, bigmamma. I've been doing a replay of Avencast and going back to this one now and then. I also have massive amounts of gardening that are keeping me away from my gaming for days at a time. Hopefully it will all let up soon and I can get back to Psychonauts in earnest.

I loved the game also, but I never finished it. It got to hard after a while. I may try it again.
