Janvier Soldat And The Diabolical Box

Now usually all our desktop PC activities take place at night between the hours after dinner and before sleep (or, if we have any DVDs to watch, before we get the telly). That's when we transfer photos from the iXus to the hard disk, rename photos, check the iTunes Store for free stuff, sync the iPods, blog, play games etc.

Granted, time for the PC nowadays is tighter as rehearsals do take a good chunk of our time that when we're back home we've normally only time to shower, rest up a bit, check out online stuff via the iPod Touch, then sleep.

But not since we've open the box.

Last year we were introduced to Professor Layton and the Curious Village, which had most of us solving puzzle after puzzle while in Camland, and recently, the sequel, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box has finally been released! With yet another 100+ puzzles to solve, this game has definitely been monopolizing our nights, and combined with the fact that we do our online surfing via our iPod Touch, we haven't turned on the PC for a week (hey, new stuff appears weekly on the iTunes Store!)!

Here, ponder on some of the puzzles. Coupled with the 'One Turn (or in this case, Puzzle) More' syndrome, there's really no way we're gonna get anything else done until we've finished the game.
