I look forward to what comes next from your genius John.

PC version rocks!

I apologize. I’d hate to think I’d insulted my intelligence or pieces of electronic entertainment, played smartass on you, or in any other way acted to see this community devided.

I took a few minutes to compile some links to illustrate my heartfelt emotional response to your posts, and to acknowledge how well-reasoned and justified your position is:

– http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominim_argument
– http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_the_well

Please accept my sincerest surrender to your vastly superior reasoning skills, and allow me to take a moment to express just how truly stupid I must be.

which is Simon Stevin’s proof of equilibrium on an inclined plan. it appears the triangle in the one in Braid is rotated from the one in Stevin’s original “proof.”

personally, i have no idea what to make of it! ;D

I won’t fall to that lvl, trolling is not my area of expertise.I entred this blog to post about Blow’s and the others’ great work and that’s all.It didn’t cross my mind that flamers are absolutely everywhere.

PS.I happen to know very well where the search bar is as well as how the 360 demographic is devided.So drop it and don’t insult your intelligence.

#1: I happen to like (not love, like) Halo, as it happens. Don’t have a 360, did have a classic. I’m also a fan of Tribes, Team Fortress, and CS, though the only first-person I can say I LOVED was Portal (a Puzzle game. Go fig.). By that same token, I’ve been playing adventure and puzzle games since Roberta Williams was still god’s gift to gaming (just ask her). I remember when Kings Quest, Monkey Island, and Kyrandia came OUT.

#2: Where in my comment was I insulting to the Xbox? Short of it’s tendency (read: guarantee) to overheat and “red ring”, it’s a fantastic piece of hardware. I bought a Wii because I lucked out on the price ($125) and because I only have time to game casually, so I tend to play puzzle games and party games. However, the Xbox is a fantastic piece of engineering. If anything, I zinged the system PURCHASERS (though I meant no offense), but I said NOTHING about the hardware.

#3: I’m not pulling this out of my ass, either. Demographically, the Xbox has the lowest adjusted percentage of puzzle titles for one reason: their owners don’t tend to buy those games. You’re more likely to find an Xbox (80% of the time) in the hands of a 14-34 year-old male, and a recent study by Neilson have stated as many as 70% of Xbox owners purchased their system based on the shooter and action titles. Further, guess what: 4 of the 5 top-selling Xbox games are… FIRST- AND THIRD-PERSON SHOOTERS (Halo 3, Gears of War, Grand Theft Auto IV, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Forza Motorsport, in order of sales). In fact the ONLY puzzle-esque game (unless you count Guitar Hero; I do not) they have in their TOP 30 is UNO. As in Uno the card game. Yeah.

So before you go calling me out on something, A) READ my post, B) CHECK your facts (that little box in your browser next to the URL is a ‘Search Bar’ providing convenient access to sites like ‘Google’ that facilitate ‘Research’), and C) Don’t assume that just because I make a comment, even a negative comment, about something, it means I haven’t done it/played it. To play a game you like is not to automatically love it for the rest of the world. Sorry.

Nice of you to add the token smiley face to “take the sting out” though. Way to fight that stereotype man.

Oh, and Jonathan:

PC Version.

I purchased the game last night and finished it with all puzzle pieces collected.Some of the riddles needed in order to get them were true works of genious.My thanks for this offering of greatness ppl, I know you put a lot on the line with this project, both financially and spiritually.

PS.No offense ZenKai but insulting pieces of electronic entertainment that many love just because they don’t fit your taste isn’t very nice or polite.I wonder how much Halo you have played in order to be in the postition to judge 🙂 .

Thanks for the great game i finished playing it today, and talked with friends about what they think of the story ending. Though i must say that for me as a non native english speaker i didnt understand alot of it 😛
