Because Carrie asked for it

[whiski_sour]

I played a game on Carrie's Nintendo DS thing. Some game about solving mysteries and doing puzzles and the two characters are utter tools in fancy hats.

Some puzzles involved word play, some involved visual skills, too many involved math. At one point, Carrie had to point out that I was holding a pink DS covered in Tinkerbell and scowling.

It is an evil game. It devours time, taxes brain cells, and saps the important juice from eyeballs.

And it made me cuss a lot.

But then, all video games do. I was never very skilled at video games. I was in my twenties before I beat Super Mario Brothers on the old NES.

Saving princesses and figuring out how to change the direction of triangle by moving three coins are just not among my many skills.

LOOOOL PROFESSOR LAYTON OMG. I have that game! It's a really ~pretty~ game... but I can't say that I really like it, sadly. I'm not a logic puzzle sort of person, as pretty as it is. I barely made it to the fourth or fifth puzzle before I too was scowling and kind of irritated, lmao. Give me Animal Crossing and Brain Age, plz! lolol.

I like logic puzzles for the most part, though I do not appreciate ones that make me use geometry. But I'm one of those people that once I get started doing something like that, I can't stop because OMG! IT CAN'T BEAT ME! And then I spend six hours playing it.

Video games are dangerous things for me.
