The basic idea is that you are a robot trying to pick up pieces of your busted-up time machine.  In order to acheive the goal on each level, you have to interact with your past selves.

For example, if you need to get on a lift to get your piece and the only way to activiate the lift is to stand on a switch, your first self would go and stand on the switch… then your next self would go and stand on the lift.

Confusing?  It is.  Kinda.  But that’s the way time travel works, you know.

The game isn’t hard, but does take a bit of thinking and a bit of trial and error.  I only had to use their provided walk throughs twice.  Both times I was happy to see that my idea on how to complete the level was correct, but my timing was only a bit off on when certain things needed to be done.

Haven’t even had a good Mai Tai in months.

Gotta get that corrected.  The blogging and the Mai Tai.

Well, both of those apply here.  Not sure in which order.   A “K”?!?  Are you kidding me? Pat needed to walk over there and smack her.

Well, sort of.. in a one-night-only-for-charity-fundraiser-pr-stunt type of way.

The dynamic duo of animal magic and other flamboyance are returning to the stage next year to raise funds for the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute. Tickets for this year’s event were $1500. I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say the tickets for next year’s event are going to be even more.

Siegfried & Roy had an early retirement in October 2003 after Montecore the white tiger decided he had had enough and attacked Roy during a show.

There is no word from Montecore or his people on if his disputes with the couple have been worked out and if he will be returning to the stage for a complete reunion. Maybe he will and carry out phase II of his master plan.

He calls himself “Romeo”, stands 2′9″, weighs almost 20 lbs, and claims he is the world’s smallest bodybuilder.

Who am I to argue?

Back in the day, he’d do quite well performing in a 10-in-1

Full Story

He was once sitting on his bed listening to music on his head phones minding his own business when his dad burst into his room with his stash.  After giving his son the 3rd degree, dad learns that the reason that his son is doing drugs is because he does drugs.

That kid was Reid Maclean.

The Just My Show Podcast has a brief interview with Reid.  Reid goes into how he got the part, a little about shooting that PSA, and what he is up to now.

Just My Show is a great podcast with a lot of heart.  Unfortunately, the production quality is in the crapper.  Hopefully this will improve.

One dude set out to find out.  Infusing Vodka with everything is pretty popular these days.  So why not?

If you want to give it a try, he has a guide.

The object?  To drag the dot… of course there are lots of obstacles and other things in the way as there often are.  The dot is tiny.  The obstacles move… and not just bounce around (although that happens), they move in an optical illusion type of manner that makes dragging the dot pretty difficult.  The first levels are easy, but increase really fast (or maybe  my eyes went crazy).  See those squares above, they increase/decrease in size based on the proximity of your mouse to them.  Some get pretty big.  Some not so much.  I made it through this.

Lots of fun.  Sorry about your time.
