I have stomped my feet and thrown a hissy fit more than once with games that won't let you save progress. I hate starting over and over on a difficult part.

Still slaving away in this heat in the tomatoes etc! I'm starting to look forward to fall!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who gets to the tearing-hair-out stage with these save point designed games.
I seem to remember the first 3 0r 4 Tomb Raiders had save anywhere slots-what a difference-you could save right in the middle of a really impossible battle, so it was always possible to get through it without spending hours of repetition, which leads to finally giving up.
I still think Psychonauts is worth playing-up to the final chapter(Meat Circus)- because of it's colorful and imaginative characters, amusing dialogue, and surreal environments, but I seem to have this compulsive need to finish games to the end, so I'm still trying
Thanks Looney-I'll check that WT!

I have no doubt I'll be back at it later this fall!
