I try to give overly frustrating games a lot of time to see if I'll ever stop being frustrated. I put several hours into Dark Souls before deciding no, I was always going to be frustrated with it. xD
Allright, next up is a game from my childhood, and the game from last time, 11th hour, is the sequel to this game. Naturally, they're both quite similar. I'm talking about:
Differences from 11th hour is that there's no overarching string of riddles, just a house full of puzzles, really. Puzzles that I never understood in my childhood and that I'm now capable to solve because of adulthood. Yay! This time I know English as well, so I've got that going for me as well.
Anyway, like many other silly 90's game, this one also has real life acting with bad graphics:
Here we see a homeless man hitting a woman over the head, if you couldn't tell. Homeless people are evil like that.
Now the story is actually a bit creepy, and a bit confusing. This homeless person gets into the business of creating children's toys, and suddenly all the children start dying of sickness. Nobody connects the deaths to the toys and the children keep dying grasping their teddy bears. Fast forward a little bit and suddenly 6 people are trapped in a house with a bunch of puzzles. I suppose the player is the 7th person, making us the 7th guest. I don't know, I'm just guessing here.
Anyway, the house is filles with puzzles like this:
and this:
and this:
That last one is actually where I got my custom rank from, way back when. Apparently it's from the longest vowelless sentence. If you don't consider Y to be a vowel.
After this I got stuck in an underground maze for 30 minutes and I could not for the life of me get out again. 90's adventure games are not very user friendly like that. It was a huge giant maze and by the end I started to feel like Jack Nicholson and there was no way out but to restart the game.
I seriously need to finish this game some time. It annoys me that I haven't finished this game after all these years.
That 1,000 Spikes game looks utterly horrible. Not as in "this is a bad game" but as in "this is an unforgiving and extremely difficult game".
The other two look kinda interesting.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I love it when Levian plays a Levian game
I have the Guest games. I am glad they are amazingly terrible and I look forward to playing them.
It's definitely both unforgiving and extremely difficult. A lot of trial and error involved. You'd have to appreciate a little self torture
They've all definitely been Levian games so far. I've enjoyed them all so far :]
They are indeed amazingly terrible, and I love them for it. The sequel is actually worse than the orginal game, which makes it even funnier. If I had to pick a word to describe these games, it would be evitiutni. Which is, like, the complete opposite of intuitive.
[Anyway, next game up. We're entering the A's:
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome

This is apparently a base diving game. You jump off a building and earn points by hugging nearby surfaces on your way down to the finish line
Aaaa1.jpg
The diving part and the wall hugging thing is not too hard, but once I opened the parachute I started losing control over where I was heading, seemed like the wind pulled me away from my target.

In addition to hugging walls, you can also jump through checkpoints for additinal score.

The game would randomly provide me with uninteresting facts about stuff that has to do with humans falling.

Anyway, this isn't really my type of game, but it was more enjoyable than I expected it to be. It was a bit addictive trying to unlock new levels and get as many points as possible. The game does get old quite quick though. and the music of the game makes me wonder if Sum 41 still exists.
What Sum 41 song was it? This is important!
HUGS: 26
This game wins points for the most unintentionally adorable points system ever.

Right, I'm going to skip Age of Empires 2 because I've played it hundred times before, and so have you.
Moving on to.
AI War: Fleet Command
I saw the name and instinctly figured this would not be a game for me, but I will be trying all these games, so I booted it up.
First reaction: how do I start a normal offline game?
I concluded that it's only possible to play online, and it seemed quite complicated, so I decided to play through the tutorial.

This image is what met me next and my brain just had a meltdown. My brain just shuts down when it sees things like this, it doesn't want to learn.
I'm sorry, but I can't play this game.
Not a Levian game, huh? xD
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
That's a Pike game!
