More goo
I can see why World of Goo defines an OCD level for each puzzle.
Its very definitely an obsessive-compulsive game. The sort that has just stolen an hour of my time without me even noticing it. Not only that, but it still has the power to make me laugh when it all goes pear-shaped. Or, more correctly, goes tangled-pile-of-wreckage-shaped. I've now completed the first two chapters and the first level of the third, and it's definitely worth the $20. I'm very tempted to download the Wii version as I think it would make a very amusing multi-player game too.
Yesterday was another one of those strange religious holidays (Monday of Whitsun, I believe) so it's a short week at work. Even shorter, given that I'm driving down to Reykjavik tomorrow. Hmm... Perhaps I'd better take my laptop with me and try to sneak a few hours of work in while I'm down there. It would assuage my guilty conscience a little, as I didn't have time today to finish the big strategy document.
I also undertook my first serious entrepreneurial move, by investing a little starter money in a new-production game designed by a friend of mine. More details will appear later (because, after all, I have to encourage you to buy this game when it comes out) but it's still a little hush-hush until it comes back from the printers. It's all quite exciting really.
