As per the Geneva Convention; watching people figure out puzzles was eventually replaced with waterboarding.

that chess puzzle seems too difficult for my caveman brain to figure out.

Edit: I would have figured that out eventually... probably...

The fucking 7x7 puzzle had me in a rage. IT'S NOT KNIGHT MOVES, IT'S QUEENS. DIAGONALS! CHECK THE DIAGONALS!

Many times they established a pattern and then when they were nearly done, ryan tosses this pattern out the window and wonders why it didn't work. God dammit.

I'm glad Jeff was there to steer him straight at the end or else the quicklook probably would've ended at that fucking board.

Watching these chess puzzles made me want to CRY.

21:23 was tough to watch. He was so close to the solution by following the pattern he was making, but then decides to fuck it all up by randomly moving to the cent square instead of the one on the edge.

This was my first moment of frustration, though.

Hahahahaha. This is the exact thought I had! Why did he go to the center square? Despite making that same mistake twice, this was thoroughly entertaining. I love Jeff/Ryan Quick Looks.

Benedict Cumberbatch? Pffft. It's all about Jeremy Brett. He will always be Sherlock Holmes for me.

This. THIS. A million times over, this. RIP Jeremy Brett.

I have to also bump this. Granada television has the whole of Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes on DVD. Well worth it. Superior in every way to the new Holmes.

The game itself seems a bit middling, but I'll probably buy it, just to support the continuing development of adventure games.

Because of this Quick Look I bought the game. That was a miserable purchase. The leaps of logic the writing goes through is absolutely insane. INSANE.

Small footprints? Must have been a monkey.

Black granite AND black soil? Must have been a cemetery.
