Hadn't done of these in a while, huh?

Anyone else dealing with really bad loading issues with LJ today? D:

I got some fun packages in the mail today, so I'll have a happy little collection update here.

It's okay! The game is not the easiest, even if it is short. Don't be afraid to ask for help on some of the puzzles! It took my sister's boyfriend and myself a half an hour to solve a puzzle on co-op.

The answer is generally much more simple than you make it out to be. For instance, no, you don't have to simultaneously launch a chair and your partner to the exit gate.

I'm apparently around halfway through, but there have been two times thus far when I got absolutely stumped, and both were kind of stupid misconceptions on my part. D: I eventually work through it, but it can seriously take a while. @_@; My brain ends up going "what has to be done?" and "where's the area I have to move to?" then I sometimes imagine complicated scenarios to work it all out, which does work maybe 1/4 of the time. XD Like you said, it's more often simpler than expected, although the puzzles can still be complicated.

Hm. Halfway. Have you ran into the potato joke yet?

Some of them are a bit counter-intuitive. I've noticed some puzzles are easier to some people than others. I played a couple of courses today and my friend watched me.

She stifled laughter as I couldn't figure out where one of the lasers went. On the next puzzle I solved it within like....three min. It took her a half an hour.

Taking a break may help and freshen your view on the puzzle.

I actually finished the single player story mode last night. XD; So yes, potato and killer bird~! At least I understand the turret video you showed me previously. <3 Cute little things, haha.

Yeah, I guess it's really about what type of problem solver you are that determines how quickly you can solve stuff.

Which version are you playing? :0 PC, I'll guess. I doubt there's cross-system playing, and I think the PSN has to be up for the PS3 version co-op stuff to even happen, but who knows when that'll happen. :( I'd have to buy a microphone to do the co-op stuff regardless.

[scarlet_girasol]

Oh boy oh boy. <3 Glados and her turrets. Hopefully you didn't miss the animal king singing the bass?

Yes I've been playing the PC version, but my family is helping me to fund a ps3 for my graduation. So I may have that version soon =3.

I have done through level/section 3 of co-op, and it really, really requires talking. Just a warning.

I'll be more than happy to participate with you though.

[tagami_yami]

The huge one with the camouflage coating? XD I was like "whoa, that's a big happy one!"

Ah! If you get a PS3, let me know and maybe we can team up for once! :D Yeah, I'm assuming that the majority of co-op stuff will require talking, but that's fine, so long as I give everyone else here a warning that I'd be talking. ;) Guess I should get a microphone headset thing sometime, sooner than later!

[scarlet_girasol]

Yeah! His name is the animal king.

That'd be fine. You might hear Ivan in the background once in a while. He loves it when I'm on the phone and insists on saying "hello' over and over again.

[tagami_yami]

That's his official name? :0 I'm hoping for an official talking turret someday~! I love the "commercial" for them, oh man.

Talky bird is no problem. XD I'd be more worried about anyone else hearing my grandma be crazy loud for no apparent reason or anyone having to speak loud enough for her to hear. Made it so hard to even record a video using my camera. D:

[scarlet_girasol]

Oh, eh, I know clinically insane people. It would take a lot to startle me. I'll try to keep my volume down myself.

And yes, I believe that is his official name since that's what the game refers him to (really early in the game, it mentions in the case of the takeover of humanity by aliens or an animal king....and then he drops into the animation).
