Hi to everybody...well, had one of those days when it was game playing, reading blogs, writing my post, commenting where I thought I could, eating, drinking, smoking and doing sweet FA else...my game, URU, has reached a place where I'm completely beaten...I have to jump onto a plateau from a rotating tower on top of a huge ravine...and I have missed the bloody plateau yesterday and today so many times I've lost count and watched myself hurtling down into the ravine and back home to start again...hmmm....grrrrhhh...I'm told you can reach it if you leap at the right moment and in the exact right place, obviously I'm succeeding in doing neither and am growing very very frustrated, but no bad stomach so definitely am on the mend...
If anything was going to give me a stress stomach this darned game would...I do enjoy playing it, but it's definitely very annoying at times...perfect timing is required to get through various obstacles or puzzles the creators call them...I want a game I can swan through happily no stress just doing a bit of this and a bit of that instead of falling off cliffs, not being able to get through doors that keep closing on me, or something similar...no only joking, I know it's a puzzle game and it's challenging I'll give it that...so really am enjoying playing it...but also very chuffed when I do actually get through one of the obstacles...also the Forum members are very helpful if you do need any assistance...hmmm...not a very exciting day...mostly spent in the virtual world today...HLOL...
Also, I spent several hours trying to download an additional game that was created for free...it kept dropping so only got half twice of 173 mg...I then discovered that the copy of Myst I bought has both free additions included in it that's why it's called the Complete Chronicles...DOH...what a dingbat!! Felt such a fool when UBISOFT the company informed me of this via the Forum...aaahh...the brain is definitely declining in my ageing body...
The wind outside has dropped at last, and it really was extremely gusty most of the day...got Heroes, Bones, Cold Case and Boston Legal tonight, but am recording the first and last and will watch them some other time...don't think I can face four hours of TV ![]()
So, my lovely friends, that's it for tonight, have a good relaxing evening, hope you have a restful night and sweet dreams, and great big hugs to one and all...

Oh, you play it as well...the graphics are great and the world's are very impressive...I've only just started playing it, but am using a walk through to begin with...just had no idea what the game was like until I did...have got through Teledahn and nearly through Gahreeson, but, as I said, am beat at the moment with the ravine jump...Myst 111..is that the follow on to URU or is Riven...

Sorry, Roman numerals. Myst 3 Exile. The age I am in at the moment starts here...

Have completely solved the original Myst, done a fair bit on Riven, with its amazing roller coaster rides, but am now determined to finish Myst 3 without too much cheating...-

Just bought the 10th Edition Celebration box set of Masterpiece, Riven and Exile...these work with XP so should be okay...keep me going for a few years probably...HLOL...if URU is anything to go by and the write ups on Riven and Exile being very hard...glad I know somebody else now who plays them...GoingSomewhere introduced me to URU...bit addictive though...

Myst III is truly wondrous... stuck in Voltaic Age, but still loving it.
