ouch, that sounds terrible.

I just got all cubes and anti-cubes, didn't run into anything like this... but, I guess... just start eliminating non-golded areas and you should hopefully find it!

They're supposed to map to inputs. From what I understand, some people have gotten anti-cubes from inputting, other people report that the rooms have turned gold without them "finishing" those puzzles.

Update on this:

@austinmiller: You'll be back a lot later. Keep moving :)

@Cretaceous_Bob: Opinion, obviously, but I don't enjoy needing to login to the game every time I start the game. As for the rest, everything about the GFWL overlay is just a little bit too slow. Every animation takes a little bit too long. I've looked a lot at User Interfaces, and things like that drives me nuts. Also, much like the xbox - though to a greater degree with GFWL, nothing seems to be where I expect it to be. I have to go through several menus to find what I'm looking for.

Sure, the games are still fine, but my opinion stands - GFWL is poorly made, and should be entirely ostracized by all developers until it is fixed.

And sure, PC Gamers are picky. But that's also because we've been abused for so long. Look at Borderlands 1 - that UI was a fucking mess, and they used Gamespy for multiplayer. Gamespy! Gearbox later moved over to Steamworks for multiplayer, adding achievements. And now, with Borderlands 2 is pledging to put at least a thought into the PC User Interface, which I greatly appreciative.

There are other examples, of course - but I think Borderlands 1 and Borderlands 2 makes a great example of something that went wrong, and the promise of a developer to fix their issues in a sequel. Not because they are nice (they probably are, but that's irrelevant), but because it's good business to treat your customers well.

Not sure why you bring up piracy - I'll assume that wasn't directly aimed at me, but I'll respond anyway. Personally, I see no excuse for it. Even if the "Digital Era" has brought the worst out of publishers - prices remaining constant, (often even raising prices!) though they've eliminated distribution and disc production. But no, I don't think piracy is a valid excuse. And if you really want to start that discussion - I think that providing a good service, or like Gabe Newell has said at some point "You have to compete with free.", is the way to go.

Right handed. Type with full left hand and primarily first 3 fingers of right hand (though I occasionally hit keys with other fingers as well. Got 85 WPM from a online typing test just now. Can probably do better when fully attentive and not typing on a stupid laptop keyboard :)

Learned to touch type using Typing of the Dead, which is pretty interesting considering it does certain things to your keyboard if you do not have an American setup... :P

Edit: Spent a year converting to DVORAK, but the problems I suffered when I needed to type Swedish (åäö, specifically), made DVORAK not really work too well. I know there's a SVORAK variant for that, but it eschews most of the original teachings, so... no.

@whyareyoucrouchingspock:It gets worse, in my opinion, when you start thinking about why a lot of people chose to use a Windows PC. I can't speak for everyone (obviously), but a large reason for me was the ease of access to games. I'd say that the greatest threat to the windows platform is the mistreatment of gamers and games on their other platform.

That always makes me a little sad for Microsoft.

(To be clear, I don't have any general dislike towards Microsoft. Only when they are bad.)

Could a "Games for Windows Live" be good? I'm of the opinion that it could be amazing and could rejuvenate the platform. But I guess Microsoft is afraid of competing with their xbox division? Which is stupid, because gaining a customer from the Xbox is not actually losing a customer... (though I guess they probably have better returns on Xbox games :P).

Why shouldn't I complain about a terrible service/software (GFWL)?

Hell, I'd rather they put it on Origin than GFWL, and I don't much care for Origin either.

I guess the reason they are using GFWL is that it's easier to port the Xbox version straight over. Never really understood why people think that "points" is a good reason to suffer through poorly designed slow interfaces when there are much better alternatives.

Looking forward to seeing them put it on Steam/Origin/Ignition and have their own login service as well, to really be a GFWL game.

Personally, I think that no developer should use GFWL until Microsoft owns up to their abuse of the PC platform and actually puts some effort into making a piece of software that is not trash. But that's just me.

Diablo was one of the first games I played online on my own connection - getting our own internet connection wee-way back on new years' eve 1996->1997, not sure if I played anything in the 2 days before it was out though, possibly Quake (though I think that was before quakeworld so... might've been dicey, don't remember).

Plenty of serial-port Doom and similar before then though.
