Have you ever had one of those moments where you felt like a complete and total idiot because you couldn't think of a simple solution? I've had one just a few minutes ago. Don't get me wrong, I've had loads of moments like that but lets focus on this one for now. I've been playing Overlord on my laptop and have gotten stuck trying to kill this stupid guy standing on a table playing a fiddle. I've sent fire balls at this guy, tried standing on the table with him, striking him with my sword while on the ground next to him and nothing has worked. You know why? Because I didn't target the stupid bastard with the stupid shift key! That's one of those moments where I'm so embarrassed that I couldn't figure it out sooner. I had another one of those moments a while back when I first played Portal. There was a level where you needed to place your portals in certain areas to have a reaction (like my attempt at trying not to give away information to people who haven't played yet?) and it took me forever to figure out that it was the simplest placement ever. At least I figured it out on my own. I've been trying to avoid walkthroughs. Not as good a feeling when you finally beat the game.
Speaking of Portal, the Portal 2 release is just days away. Tuesday April 19th I will hopefully be downloading the the game that scares the hell out of me. I've seen videos and screen shots and read articles and seriously, I'm frightened of what I'm up against this time. Here's a link for anyone who wants to check it out http://www.thinkwithportals.com/index.php you'll have to copy and paste, sorry about that. Seriously though, it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
