I quite like them too. They're generally busywork but quite calming and satisfying to get done. I generally work from the corner opposite where the blank needs to end up. So if (as is most often the case) the blank should end up in the bottom right, I'll start with the top row, then the left hand si...

Ooh, it's available for Android as well. I'll give it a go!

And more so if you're getting a laptop since you can't just whip out the graphics card and put a fancier one in! You can always get a docking station and plug in a proper keyboard, monitor etc so I wouldn't worry too much about those - but the modularity makes a difference to me.

I'm reading Resolution by Denisa Mina, the conclusion of the Garnethill trilogy (not sure if I've mentioned the previous ones). Crime drama set in Glasgow - it's got some serious grimness in it but well enough written that it's not unbearable. The characters have a real life to them and there's frie...

Aww, that's nice to hear her. Is Amanda's outfit a Phantasmagoria reference?

Some monitors have a built in USB hub - maybe that's what would cause this confusion?

But if you've already got groups then yes, definitely include groups of games whose titles would already indicate their grouping. If I were specifically brows...

Hasbro were originally supposed to publish the game but I don't think they did in the end - Adventuresoft published it themselves so I guess they'd still hold the rights. Which increases the chances that the original source code would be available if they did decide to revamp/remake the game, and th...

Did you mean here at Mystery Manor, Drac?

I liked Keepsake a lot - I have a feeling I got it as a prize here! There were a few infuriating aspects (puzzles where you had to go back and forth across multiple rooms for each attempt at a solution, and one puzzle that was outright broken and I don't know of anyone but me who solved it without a...

Hope you have a fantastic birthday, Val!

Welcome, Chimera Myst - sounds as though you'll fit right in here!

I played it a few years ago and enjoyed it a lot - a fun story and a lovely old-school feel that reminded me of some of the Spectrum games I grew up with. Recommended!
