erastes

I've just finished a computer game called The Mystery of the Druids and bloody hell I hated every minute of it. I hate a game where I have to cheat and with this one, I had to cheat almost constantly. It's a Point & Click, but sheesh! I don't mind brain scrambling puzzles - I've played Discworld after all, but for gawd's sake give a player some CLUES as to what to do next! The end solution was so arbitary that I would have had to have tried every item in my inventory (about 30) on every single person and object standing around at the end which would have been the equivalent of blind darts. Really not recommended. Really. Not.

I have the best flist, and people are very generous.

rbm00 gave me a gift voucher to get the book I couldn't get hold of, and I'll be getting on with that soon. I'm going to try and get one review done a week from now on, if I can manage it, there are so MANY (although still, such a limited genre) books on THE LIST to be reviewed yet, and even if one new book came out every month, I'd be panicking.

I've just started The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb, and contrary to my expectations (I really didn't enjoy the back blurb, so it just goes to show that even big publishers can cock up in that regard) I'm thoroughly enjoying it. By GUM it's slashy, though. There's Burrich and his obvious utter devotion to Chivalry, and then Chade and Fitz himself. For someone who doesn't approve of fanfiction she writes very slashable characters.
