This is a bit worrying. I definitely didn't say that. This probably also explains why I can no longer log into Twitter.

Remember Question of the Day? Not Question of the Week, but Question of the Day. Despite the name, it had no set schedule. Questions were posted whenever, and then people wrote blogs which were associated with the question. Responses appeared not only in the user's blog, but on the page for the question. This allowed others to easily read all the responses to the question. There was also an index of every QOTD that had been asked so far, so you could read every single one of them if you really wanted. (I don't think anyone really wanted.)

This feature was silently retired at some point in 2010. There's no longer an index, and links are not provided to this feature anywhere in the current interface. You can only there from blogs that answered these questions. Once you get there you can see the responses, but you can't add your own responses.

Like I said, there's no longer an index. So I created one myself. I also took note of how many responses each question received, and the date range in which those dates occurred. If you want charts and graphs and shit, you won't find them here. Maybe PSEG will care enough to hook you up, but probably not.

What I noticed was that unlike Question of the Week, this feature did get a fair amount of use. Questions were much less frequent near the end, but there was still a good variety of responses. The final QOTD received 57 responses in less than a month. It was as popular as ever. Why did this feature die? Did it need to die? Did they just run out of questions?

Something is up with the inFamous page. I shall investigate it when I am able.

A few days ago I beat Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. It's the third game in the series, and the gameplay hasn't changed drastically, but I still really like it.

For those who like numbers, my final time was 21 hours 57 minutes. During that time I found 129 puzzles and solved 110 of them. That's over four hours more than the time recorded on the previous two games. Although that statement is based on the current time listed for the first two, not the time listed when I originally beat them. No, I haven't completed every puzzle.

So anyway, the puzzles are good. That's key, but what really impressed me is the story. The Prime Minister disappears in an explosion after a time machine demonstration backfires. Luke and the Professor get a letter from Luke ten years in the future, and they're off on an adventure. It's clear from the start that things are going to get crazy, and they definitely do.

I enjoyed the plot a lot, and that's definitely helped by the characters. There are some great new characters, but new characters aren't ignored either. I was surprised to actually learn about Professor Layton's backstory. It's difficult to discuss that without spoiling anything, but it really is incredible.

With fun gameplay and surprisingly great storylines, I now consider Professor Layton among my favourite series. Really good stuff.

On a side note, after beating the game I threw together a list dedicated to everyone's favourite Don. But if you haven't played all three games, beware. There be spoilers.
