Another new mild surge of visits to this site came from just one mention of David Madden (ah, there I mentioned it again), the current Jeopardy champion. Still very impressive with 10+ wins already. But recently he's been getting fewer lock-outs, even finished in second place before FJ once, so at least his games are quite exciting to watch. Proud to know that he's the only one to get this FJ on classical music: It's the roughly 70-minute work that includes the sung words "Alle menschen werden bruder."
Finished MYST IV today. I have to say, I really don't like this game. Other than the excitements in the initial age, it got way too complex. Spire was basically impossible to figure out on my own, and Haven was more like gathering static information to get a combination, nothing exciting about that. Serenia was just strange and confusing and very easy to get lost. I had to rely on walkthroughs quite a lot, and that was no fun. On the positive side, the one point where a critical decision needed to be made (pulling one lever or another, or none), I'm happy to report that I made the correct decision the first time around, thus saving the world and stuff. Well, not really. But it really didn't require as much decision brain power needed in the finale of Exile, so it wasn't really too interesting. In any case, the ending was sad, but ok. I still prefer Exile to Revelation, though...
I must confess that I have been catching a few episodes of Beauty and the Geek recently, and the show ended today. The way the last challenge really sucks, and my new favourites Richard & Mindi lost. However, here's the funniest ending I've seen in a long time (even though it's been done before). Here you have Richard, whose caption during his interview this episode has always been "had been kissed two times." Then right at the end when they were talking about the loss, Richard & Mindi made a small kiss, and then Richard's interview caption immediately changed to "had been kissed three times." I'm such a sucker for these types of jokes. (By the way, another one of those funny moments from the show. Richard was asking the size of Mindi's waist, and she responded "zero." Then Richard tells in interview: "Size zero?! To me, if you are size zero, you don't exist!")
