    Yay Justie!!!  Yahoo! - on both counts, your (spoiler) & your motivation.  Way to be, girl!!  My motivation right now is an obsessive desire to find what I've missed that wont let me move to the end of chapter 4.  Has anyone passed that, & can help me?  I've back tracked so many times I think my footprints are part of the game  Gah!

    So I've begun! I
    if you've started the game, this is not a spoiler:

    Now I'm looking for that thing I need to continue ... and feeling really dumb, because I cannot find it.

    Thus ends my first 12 minutes playing.

    Amen, sister.  This is what I've learned about playing this game: if you've been there, go back again, and again... and again.  If you're absolutely sure there's nothing left somewhere for you to do at some location, there definitely IS something there to do.  If it makes no sense to revisit a place where all activities came to a halt, go back, there's more.  Holy cow, this is really intricate - for me anyway.  I'm really liking it, but ye gads, my head is spinnin  Loopy  Time to put the brain on the charger & exit, stage left...  faints

    I think if you hit the space bar it shows the hot spots.  I know something you click shows them.  That can help if you are stuck.

    A walkthrough is helpful too.   Laugh

    Is anyone else having difficulty with the save slots?  I can only access the 3 that show up - my scroll bar isn't working.  So far, I am ok just writing over previous saves, but eventually I might want to expand that.  Just wondering.

    So finally I am
    still way behind everyone:

    I'm there too, Pippi and Justie. So many interruptions, plus I have a good friend coming over in a little while... so no further gaming until tonight.  Yeah right  I mean don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see my friend and all, but I do want to get back to learning magic!!  Snicker

    Be kind to yourself pippi, I had to look up a walkthrough to remind me to do what you do in every game since history - look around and snitch stuff.  Belly laugh

    So I finished chapter 1 - did anybody else's video loop and play over and over and over? 

    This is a very interesting storyline!  I'm going to be on pins and needles until Sunday, when I can play again!

    Its nice to know I am not the only one behind.   I have been working long hours
    and do not want to play when I am tired.

    Confession:    I have been doing charter trips for groups going to State
    Parks and water themed parks.    Tomorrow  I am doing shuttling for Saratoga Raceway.

    My job is so tough......not.     Laugh 

    But it is long hours.   Or lots of driving just to get to where they want to go.

    Anyway,  hope to get to play the game this weekend.

    I have progressed a ways in this game  (with a little research,  like kac does) .....I think.   Hmm... 

    Thank goodness this is not a linear game,  as I am not doing things in order.

    So, far  I have

    slight bragging rights spoiler:

    I love playing Adventure games.

    <sigh> Even with a walkthrough I am not doing the magic right. My brain is tired I guess. But I worked a lot on Broken Sword 5 with hubby since he was around. Tomorrow I'll attack Gray Matter with fresh vigor. If only it didn't work so sluggishly.

    Luvto -  Elk grin 

    So I am halfway through Chapter 2.  This game is so interesting!  The story is really neat - I haven't figured it all out yet, and that is something I really appreciate.

    I'm still having a real problem with the save game list scrolling.  Is anybody else noticing this or is it a glitch in my game?  Honestly, I don't need more than 3 save slots, but I'm spoiled and hoard game saves.

    So I am about 80% through Chapter 2.  And this is a big spoiler so don't read unless you want to know stuff...

    Sooo Frustrating!:

    I might take a teeny little hint from one of my group players, though.   Huh?

    So I figured out my problem above ... and learned I have a glitch in my game.  This is probably the same glitch that wonks up the save slots.  It's not game-breaking and now that I know sometimes I don't get the correct cursors I can work around it.  I also think it is my computer's fault.  My computer does a lot of stupid things.

    Because this has something to do with gameplay:

    Ahh, glitches! Gah!  There's one in The Longest Journey that two of us ran into (a game-stopping one at that!), but luckily I was able to find a way around it.
