Day 5: *Shivers*

Dang, Bad Mojo Redux is definitely not for the squeamish. It's so shiver inducing, I don't know how I keep playing. It certainly turns the concept of exploring beautiful and fantastical worlds that one normally equates with games on it's head. Gotta stop, since hubby and I are going to The Hungry I in Boston for brunch.

Murder!

Pardon my mixed-gumshoe phrases, but: The Game Is Afoot! Someone has been murdered on the train. Someone had to be murdered, this is a murder mystery, after all.

Falling into a dream

Fans of  Ragnar Tornquist's  1999 adventure game,  The Longest Journey , won't be disappointed in  Dreamfall .

Calling to me

Newfound Lake, New Hampshire, photo by Merlina McGovern Up at the lake. Calm. Peaceful. My mother-in-law has a fridge magnet with a brown bear in a red and white striped swimsuit. It says: The lake is calling, and I must go. In the hot, sticky months of summer, the lake calls to us. Newfound lake, with it's fried seafood shacks and crowded summer homes at its foot and happy boaters zooming up and down its length. (There are muddy undercurrents here in the lakes region, though, with drugs, socio-economic battles, association frustrations -- all topics for a different kind of blog, not one where we're chasing dragonflies!) The night we drove up, fat, dark rainclouds boiled over until rain splattered everything, big boomers echoing across the mountains. The thunder, lightening, and rain prepped and cleansed everything for a clear and dry day. Not really a boating or swimming day, but a beautifully clean crystalline summer day on the lake. When you walk into the lake on o...
