> I just beat Fantasy Quest (on Adventure Games Live), and I know all day, no matter what I've been doing, I've been brainstorming ways to get past whatever part I'm stuck on. I was walking my dog trying to figure out how to [spoiler deleted]. Heh. Of course, all I had to do was [spoiler deleted] but it still took me another 2 hours to figure that out. And I looked quite stupid. Right Sam?

Hi Stephen,

Yesterday, I was stuck on FQ as well, and since it was my wife's turn to use the computer, I was washing the dishes, and, of course, brainstorming for ways to get past that dratted [spoiler deleted]. I actually had Sam's map and two of my own (for the Enchanted Forest and the Garden)taped to the cabinets above the sink for easy reference.

I bought Half-Life on Thursday this past week, and it's an incredibly fun, creepy, immersive game. But on Saturday, I didn't even think about loading a game of Half-Life. Saturday was exclusively the day of FQ; and *that* is a darn high accolade. :-)

Favorite comic references from FQ, anyone? Mine are the contents of the "big huge tome", especially Han Solo's attempt to hold off reinforcements on the Death Star, and Bill Cosby's "Noah" skit in his old comedy routine. What a riot!
