Scribblenauts

So one of the puzzles you have is to get a girl to jump off of the diving board into the pool. Well I chose the only thing I could think of that I knew would scare her (and everyone). And planted a nuke on the board and activated it. She ran off the board and I got the Starite just as the nuke went off. Best winning screen ever. Maxwell is laying down dead in the nuked world holding the star.

I love a game that lets me solve problems my way. The only annoying thing is that you either know exactly how to do it, or you spend an hour screwing around trying to figure out how to do it. In the end I find it has the same feel that Animal Crossing did. It's a game built entirely around just dicking around and I'm okay with that, because it ends up working out really well.

Cataclysm

So I've been playing Cataclysm. I haven't been playing for too long but I've been playing both before and after cata. The new quests are so amazing! So far the best quest was a number of quests I did with an NPC named Maxamillion (spelling is probably off on that). Anyway he is the standard "knight" and his quests show it. First he wants you to kill "dragons" with him. They're just dinosaurs, but it's really amusing none the less. Next quest is "rescuing" damsels in distress. The first one is a male Blood Elf in a rob. The second one is a lady who is up on a hill and he "saves" her by shoving her off the cliff. And then blames me for not catching her XD The next one was the best I've ever done. He wanted to kill the "queen dragon." So I hopped on the back of his horse and we road to meet her. Well, she's a freakin' T-rex. She chases us and we run away on the horse like scared little girls. During this chase it's my job to damage her, with rocks. Yes, I throw rocks at her. (and stun her if she gets too close). The entire fight is something that would fit right into Jurassic Park (you know when they are in the jeep being chased by the T-Rex? Yeah, it look exactly like that) and it's the most fun I've had in a quest in a very long time! After this amazing fight he wants to pray to the spirits of the nearby lake. Well they are hostile to me. So I have to stand there and take their attacks while he prays to them, after which they disappear. You can't kill them, because he gets mad and doesn't finish his prayer.

I've had some other awesome quests. The game has made a lot of changes, and all of them are pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Since I'm not a level 85 (I don't have Wrath of the Lich King, let alone Cataclysm) I don't know how many changes have been made that far up the ladder. But the game is really worth checking out. They have 14 days free, and I say you owe it to yourself to try it. Maybe you played it before and it just wasn't any fun, try it again.

And last, but not least, FOR THE HORDE!!
