Target has a little sign for the newest game, but the game isn't there! *cries* I can't buy it from Gamestop, the geeks will laugh at me!
(I'm playing #11, Secret of Blackmoor Manor, right now. The clues/puzzles involve Latin, the zodiac, and Lycanthropy. Plus you get hints from a parrot, and there is a giant carnivorous plant in the basement. Oh, and your number one fan looks like she just flew in from the Village of the Damned. I think I'm going to love this one.)

Did a new one just come out! *flails* See, I think the people at Target would be more willing to buy my pre-planned story of "I'm going to my friend's kid's birthday party. This would be good, right?" than the people at Gamestop.

Amazon says October 8th. Curse you, Target! Do no get my hopes up like that! But at least that explains why there was nothing in the new game display. On the other hand, I haven't played that wolf one yet, and I always have the Sims time suck to fall back on, so I guess I can't wait until the 8th. Hmph.
I've come to assume that people at Target just don't care, but the Gamestop people are both geekier about hardcore gaming, and more likely to write you off as buying games for your boyfriend* or niece or whatever. That may just be my paranoia, though. Pah, Gamestop people. I have probably been playing video games longer than you could say "Halo".**
Ooooh! I played that one. There's a ghost hunt!
Whoo! I love creepiness in my games. Especially when it won't necessarily lead to my characters violent death because of complicated game instructions! *eyes Silent Hill*
*Why do people ask you if you're buying for your boyfriend? Why can't I like zombie games and the ones whose primary packaging seems to be pink and frilly?
**= Alright, I am not actually older than some people who work at Gamestop. But still!!

I just bought the Wolf one! I really like the newest interface. And so far it's a bit less on the puzzles and more on the story, which I'm not minding. You still have to do certain things to propel the story forward, of course.

No, they're judging you. *nods* I have a similar stance about the people who work at Netflix.

Eep. No, glad there aren't violent character deaths in this. And if you do happen to die, second chance! :D But that Blackmoor Manor one was by far the creepiest. Don't know if you're there yet, but how you end up lighting certain areas is just WRONG. I'd be getting 5,000 objects that emit light, all in various forms in case batteries went out or if there was a breeze. That place would be lit up like Vegas.

Because you can't!

This sort of makes me wonder where all of my Nancy Drew books went to. I own(ed?) them all in their old school hardcover editions, but, knowing my mother....she might have given them all away. :(

Does this make me an enabler?
