Happy Xmas! (A Puzzle)
filed under: Procrastinetion
Happiest of Holidays to everyone!
For those still stuck in the office, despite the best efforts of the transit union to keep us home, the above "miniGROW" link is a puzzle - you have to click on the picture icons around the Christmas tree in the right order, which you have to figure out by watching what they do and how long it takes them to do it. There are three more on the site: Grow, Grow RPG and Grow Cube. They're AMAZING.
Today I'm pissing away the day playing weird puzzle games because I stayed out drinking far too late last night (this morning) to distract myself from the fact that Lisa and Max are already in North Carolina with my folks, and Max has been sick for three days and had to go to the emergency room last night to get a chest x-ray to see if he had pneumonia, which he probably does. And I'm up here, no good to anybody. *Sigh*
So, with that side dish of maudlin steaming away, enjoy the puzzles - click on the links on the left of the screen after you've done this puzzle for more.

Poor guy.

The grow puzzles are fricking AWESOME.
How the hell did you score so high on Doom Funnel Chasers?
Posted by: Twin C at December 20, 2005 08:29 PMMax is now ingesting cough syrup with codeine, so whether he's actually better or not, he's certainly *feeling* better...
Twin C: Doom Funnel Chasers all comes down, for me, to the one (it's in the 20s, I think) where the slingshot is up in the upper right and the funnel is in the lower left, and a whole pile of planets are swinging back and forth across the middle, and there are six or eight flages down the center. If you get that in one, and hit three or four flags, you get a distance of like 30,000 and multiply it by the high level.
Of course, if you don't (and I haven't since then), you've just wasted ANOTHER five minutes of your life...
Mmm... Grow puzzles... It's going to be hard not to go through and do them all again today, even though I've already solved them. I actually got mad at the creators for not making more. How I do love them.
