An HOUR?! Before watching, I wonder if it's because they're burning through puzzles easily, or getting stumped for a long time.

@Smokey_Earhole: I am so sorry. Funny to me, not to others. BTW to get it just comment on some old content on the site. I commented on some old stuff that had comments already and it still gave me the achievement.

I was thinking that too. But this is kind of two games in one I think. Professor Layton typical affair and then London Life which seems like an Animal Crossing type game.

That bridge puzzle was horribly simple. I kept screaming "don't do it!" when they went 0-4.

Taking time to solve a puzzle is faster than brute forcing it. At least, it is for me usually.

I've never played them, but I always though they were 'japanese france' not 'japanese england'. Don't know why, now that I think of it.

Silly, perhaps, but I was disappointed when I booted up the game and found they had replaced the traditional Layton theme. Love that song.

The "Last Spectre," huh? So this actually comes after Mass Effect 3 in the continuity?

I like how this was one of the dirtiest quicklooks I've ever seen. I think Vinny may be cheating on his wife with Emmy, he couldn't stop talking about her. To be fair, the longer I watched, it felt like we should fight over her.

That first puzzle. This is the first time I've ever really experienced the "screaming at the monitor" moment in a QL.

I felt like Patrick really got into the quicklook groove with this one. I think it helped he wasn't the one playing and worrying about making sure to show every little thing.

What an excellent QL - really fun and entertaining commentary there guys! Also Emmy is the best - fuck that Layton moron if there isn't an exceptionally good reason for her not being his partner in the future.
