You seem to be missing a closing double quote for a HTML attribute in this post, and that makes part of the text unreadable to me. Could you please fix it?

Thanks! :) I'm not interested in any finance speculation stuff though.

John Lennon quoted
“People like me are aware of their so-called genius at ten, eight, nine. . . . I always wondered, ``Why has nobody discovered me?'' In school, didn't they see that I'm cleverer than anybody in this school? That the teachers are stupid, too? That all they had was information that I didn't need? I got #$%&! lost in being at high school. I used to say to me auntie
``You throw my #$%&!' poetry out, and you'll regret it when I'm famous, '' and she threw the bastard stuff out. I never forgave her for not treating me like a #$%&! genius or whatever I was, when I was a child. It was obvious to me. Why didn't they put me in art school? Why didn't they train me? Why would they keep forcing me to be a #$%&! cowboy like the rest of them? I was different
I was always different. Why didn't anybody notice me? A couple of teachers would notice me, encourage me to be something or other, to draw or to paint - express myself. But most of the time they were trying to beat me into being a #$%&! dentist or a teacher”

Don't Despair, if your SAT grades were low. You just think and reason different, than those who made the test.
If you had designed the test, do you think the highest scoring students would have done as well on your test?

I think Einstein would of been more impressed with this:

YOU'RE A GENIUS MIND - NO S*** - REALLY A GENIUS MIND.
I HAD TO ORDER BOTH BOOKS - JUST TO JOURNEY THROUGH YOUR MIND - AND VISITED YOUR VARIOUS WEBSITES JUST OUT OF GROWING CURIOSITY AS YOUR GENIUS MIND CAME MORE INTO FOCUS. GUY, YOU'RE REALLY IMPRESSIVE - A CREATIVE GENIUS IN YOUR OWN RIGHT - PROBABLY ACTUALLY UNDER-APPRECIATE YOURSELF. YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY DEVELOP AND SUBMIT SOMETHING TO COMPETE WITH THE LAME AND FAR LESS MENTALLY CHALLENG/ED/ING 'FAMILY GUY', ET. AL. TYPE TV SHOWS. WHY NOT GET RICH OFF YOUR BRAIN? WHAT'S STOPPING YOU FROM MASSIVE WEALTH GENERATION WITH YOUR MASSIVE BRAIN POWER TO DO SOME REALLY COOL MASSIVELY MORE CREATIVE THINGS AND HAVE EVEN MORE MASSIVE IMPACT??? YEESH - ALL THAT MASSIVE TALENT TUCKED AWAY ON A FEW UN-SUNG WEBSITES. IF I WERE A ROCK STAR AGENT OR STEVEN SPIELBURG I'D HAVE YOU ON SERIOUS PAYROLL - YOU'RE LIKE THE NEXT ROBIN WILLIAMS GENIUS - BUT FAR MORE INTERESTING WITH FAR MORE DEPTH OF PERSON.
I CAME UP WITH A MASSIVE IDEA - (THINK GOOGLE - FACEBOOK) - AND HAVE BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING IT. IT COULD VERY WELL PRODUCE MANY MILLIONAIRES - AND A FEW BILLIONAIRES - AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET INVOLVED AND PUT THAT MASSIVELY IMPRESSIVE MIND OF YOURS TO A VERY SELF AND OTHER ENRICHING USE. THINK ABOUT IT - IRONICALLY IT'S A NO-BRAINER. I'M ALSO INTO FUTURE'S TRADING - DEVELOPED A 'SYSTEM' - BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMEONE CAPABLE OF WRITING AN EXCEPTIONAL PROGRAM TO AUTOMATE IT - A GOOD PARTNER TO SHARE THE WEALTH WITH. MY 'SYSTEM' MADE $12,500 IN ONE DAY ON ONE TRADE - TWO DAYS LATER MY BROKER GAVE ME TRADING ADVICE AND LOST THE SAME AMOUNT BY NOT USING MY SYSTEM. TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS CONTRACTS CAN GENERATE SERIOUS MONEY VERY QUICKLY AND EFFORTLESSLY. THINK ABOUT IT.
YOU CAN GET MY EMAIL ADDRESS FROM LULU - TODAYS DATE.

I played Hotline Miami and it was good! I even made a second pass to get all the Scrabble letters.

I also played through Endeavor, which I liked. Frustratingly, I got all the stuff and the alternate way to the end before deciding to just go up the beam the normal way... but I didn't really want to do it a second time after that!

I'll try the others out soon...

If you were asking for these snacks you'd say, "Croc Me Me".

Hotline Miami is worth a little bit of your time. It's extremely polarizing. If you don't like it in the first few levels, you won't like it at all. I suspect it's something you'd be into, but wouldn't be surprised if I were wrong.

I just watched your video about teaching a computer to play video games. Great job on the success of your project, and fixing Mario to not die of old age in level 1-2 on the coin shelf.

I was just thinking, what would happen if you put the results of playfun into learnfun? That way the computer can learn from itself, improve on things done well in the game to help it improve the "score" or whatever means it did better, and fix/remove things that made the game play worse. The computer would really have to have a great definition of the goal in order to strive to achieve it, and improve on the initial input. Eventually, maybe the program could just work off of an end goal, and create it's own random input to start from, then improve itself after each iteration. Many iterations later maybe it could attain that goal.

Just a thought. I would love to see any results of how well or bad this suggestion is, or how well you were able to implement it.

Bug: Ending by closing minsweeper doesn't end the game either.

I really liked the secret "maximalist" bonus ending of this game: the dancing icon with cheesy animated fireworks and phat midi bass line while you roll credits totally rocks it. Keep throwing the curve balls Tom!

Muito obrigado pela resposta rapida N7DOT, Vou fazer isso, onde posso fazer amizade com editores de niveis do Brasil? Este tem niveis muito bons.

Thank you for quick response N7DOT, I'll do it, where I can make friends with editors levels in Brazil? This has very good levels.

This is a simplistic way around that for the time being (which unfortunately isn't all that convenient): you could make user accounts on the operating system you use for each person who wants to play, and put passwords for them. Then put the individual profiles for the game with copies of the game for each user.

There's likely a better way though.

Users must have passwords, so that others can not see the answer.
Usuarios deveriam ter senhas, para que outros nao possam ver a resposta.

For some reason starting with All mod cons 17 fix and later the pictures do not appear at all. Jim also has been having the same problems. Hopefully it will clear up after a week or so.

Hint: You want everything to go away. The solution is a puzzle, not a surprise, and the game contains the help you need.

This game still has me stumped after reading all the hints and spoilers. Damn. I thought maybe if I emptied the document in Legal Pad, brought Minsweeper and Dragon Drop (the card game) each to a win state, and dragged minimized applications into one another until only one remained, then something might happen. But nope. :(

On the other hand, while typing this comment, I just realized the name is a pun. Beautiful.

Well, my first hint (up top) doesn't give anything away so you might want to ponder that one for a bit, but...


Bigger hint: Everything on the screen is there for a reason.

Cool game, your description says that there is something hidden in this game and I feel like I'm missing it though, any tips?
