Lern to toss the turtle, learn to cope with life

Even if this title sounds probably a mouthful to you, give a try to this incredibly addictive flash game online. Try to beat my (incredible?) record of more than 200,426 feet and find the deep meaning behind the game. Then, write it with your record on the blog.

Ragnar Tornquist, how could you do it?

I played the most wonderful adventure written for a computer game one year ago. The Longest Journey has been the most captivating game adventure I ever lived.  I finished 2 minutes ago to play DreamFall-The Longest Journey, the so called 2nd episode of The Longest Journey you released in 2006.

“Finished to play” is quite ironic, as you sent to almost death, death penalty or true death most of the good characters … but the story itself is not finished at all!!! We are in 2009 now. Two-thousand-and-nine!!! What the hell are you waiting for to release the 3rd episode? For the Balance, how could you be so cruel? What are those rumors about Dreamfall chapters??? When will you publish them? Stop now reading Stephen King’s book on your Kindle. Time to write has come!

Does well-being positively influence human development?

If we suppose our brain has infinite power, yes. If we assume that above a certain threshold our brain cannot properly work, no.

Do women better adapt to climate change?

We had the idea to spend a few days in Ticino, the south Swiss Canton famous for its warm and sunny summer. In four days we had very hot beach weather, monsoon rains and wind storms, to finish with snow on the way back home. It was a very original way to celebrate Stasia’ birthday. Watch at her way to adapt to every kind of weather (click on the post picture to zoom in). You don’t see pictures of mine … I could not adapt as good as she did

Syberia and Syberia II: very amusing videogames!

I enjoyed a lot playing and finishing the two Syberia tales. I went through the first one very nicely. The double (!) channel jet radio and the very stupid pendulum clock in Syberia II obliged me to look for walk through in internet. Except this, wonderful atmospheres, audios,  and playability. Let’s hope for a Syberia III with Kate Walker again, even if Microids accuses Sony of too bad marketing strategies to develop the third chapter of this wonderful saga. And, yes, I could play them on my eeePC

If you want to play it, DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIE ABOVE.

Travian: what to do when sick at home

Those days I am sick at home. I tried by chance to play with this browser game of the year 2009: Travian.

It looks like Sim City to me. Nothing I would play further on, if not for the possibility to make alliances with other cities, thus to destroy competitors.

My town is called Loranas Cage. Click here to show its coordinates. It is located on SERVER4.

If any of you guys wants to give a try, place your town close to mine, so that we can ally and give a try in conquering the world

My longest journey

I’ve seagulls out of my window. There are quite many water channels in the city and everything is rusty and covered with mud. Neverthelss, I am not in Newport, my landlord is a man, I met no Cortez until now and my name is not April Ryal.

Now that I’ve finally saved the Balance with April, I will give a chance to Zoe Castillo, if she will ever adapt to my eeepc. More difficult will be to imagine to wake up in Casablanca, tomorrow.

Dear kids, this Christmas Santa Claus …

… will have something better to do than freezing his buttocks flying around the world to bring you stupid toys. Anyway, which kid is still so naive to believe to such a story? Merry Christmas :-/

Prince of Persia equals new PC ;)

I played the first Prince of Persia still on my Amiga500. I had to change my PC graphic card to play (and finish) together with Stasia Prince of Persia The sands of time. I simply couldn’t play the following Prince of Persia The Warrior Within: too difficult to me ;(

Now I think I’ve to change *COMPUTER* to play the last Prince of Persia : I cannot even properly stream its presentation on the net …

Thurn und Taxis 1:0

The cold season started: so the board games. Stasia chose tonight Thurn und Taxis. She had some hope to win. No chance Let’s see what will happen with Loewenhertz, St. Petersburg, Carcassonne, Zug um Zug The only game she always killed me is Risiko … Damn, I’ve to learn it!
