things i really hate today by greg massi

[Baliset]

1. Garden Forgotten By Time

2. Humidity

3. Going to a free work lunch on my day off only to have it turned into a sales pitch by American Express Financial Planning

4. My life

5. Giving a girl your phone number and having her conveniently NOT call you

 

[Kitty Star]

You sound as if you are having just as bad of a day as I am. I'm sorry you feel bad. ::internet hugs::

The only good thing that happened to me today is passing my hazing on this here forum.

 

[Baliset]

thank you.

well i am home now and there is air conditioning so things are looking up

 

[Kitty Star]

Yea I'm still at working looking sadly over the piles of looming paper work that I am not doing right now and thinking about how I am going home to an empty house to have cold vegie pizza with my cat and watching reruns of West Wing or sitting online. I guess it could be worse.

 

[Baliset]

i once sat through and watched most of an entire twelve hour west wing marathon on tv. i have definitely had worse days.

The Garden Forgotten By Time took me forever! I had no idea you were supposed to use the man eating plants as platforms to other areas of the dungeon.

 

[Baliset]

oh...i didn't realize that is what i needed to do.

 

[Firedwarf]

Look for vines and crap on the wall. That's where you have to lure the plant and then whip it open and use it as a platform.

I just came home drunk, ejaculated into my sock and am about to go to bed.

You guys shoot to high. It's the little things that count.

 

[Baliset]

yeah i found two new doors but one of them led to a courtyard with a broken bridge and i couldn't find a way to reach one of the other doorways there. le sigh.

 

[Firedwarf]

Is this the last of the five levels you have to complete?

 

[lizard]

Kitty Star - on this board, the hazing never ends but it is done with love and affection.

Greg - strangely enough, Azal is right...the little victories are to be savored. and I sense there is a passionate love interest headed your way, my brother.

 

[Baliset]

Is this the last of the five levels you have to complete?

no it is the third level i have done.

also what is up with that room that has no purpose, no doorways, and statues in it?

i fucking hate the garden forgotten by time

 

[xfer]

haha kitty star thinks her hazing is over!

 

[Nut Butter]

Yeah humidity sucks loads... What?

Except this morning, it was real cold and dry out! Yay!

 

[Firedwarf]

no it is the third level i have done.

With the dogs, I think? That room actually does have a purpose. After you defeat the boss, there's no portal to go back to Rinaldo's house.. but there's a way you can drop down into that room to exit the dungeon faster. It's easier to use a magical ticket if you've got it.

^--I may be thinking of a totally different dungeon btw. Not sure if this is correct, but I remember coming across a useless golden-looking room with big statues and dogs and then using it to exit to the dungeon later and saying "ohhh." MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE THEATRE LEVEL!

 

[Baliset]

ok that makes sense. but it still elaves me that one doorway in the outdoor section with the broken bridge that i couldn't jump to and that is the only door i haven't explored yet.

 

[Firedwarf]

The one you're talking about.. I think there's a way to reach the 2nd floor from there, and there's the final door switch there along with the ice whip.

There's a complete map of the area if you get angry enough. The Garden is the most frustrating level in the game, IMO.

 

[Firedwarf]

OH WAIT!!!!!

Go back to the statue room! I think you can destroy one of the statues and it opens up a doorway!

And I apologize in advance if this is not the case and I am leading you totally off track but I think that might be it.

 

[Firedwarf]

Actually I'm positive that you're supposed to destroy one of the statues!
