Ah The Dig. One of my favorite LucasArts games of all time. So much so that I ended up finding a copy of the book written based on it.

Oh, hey, me too. I have no idea where my copy is now, but I remember being unimpressed with how it elaborated on what happens in the game.

God I hated that turtle puzzle.

Edit: En-lightened.

The turtle was one of those puzzles that made me step away from the game for a while.

At least there's no combining items in this game, so instead of mashing items together hoping they fit there's, just figuring out what step you're missing in whatever puzzle.

Using the crystal in the hole though, yeah that is just a 'rub all the alien things on the hole to see if one of them does anything' puzzle.

I know that's how I solved it. The rod at least made some degree of sense.

And come on Boston, face to face with a live alien at last, and the first thing you do is comment on how tall he is? :rolleyes:

I wonder if Brink would've been more helpful if he hadn't died and developed a life crystal addiction.

Though it could just be that coming back from the dead heightened his latent stereotypical German rear end in a top hat characteristics.

He mentioned that his people are basically unable to build or do anything there. Imagine being immortal and having infinite knowledge, but being completely, incurably paralyzed across your entire body. A single lifetime of creation is preferable to an eternity of motionlessness.

They're basically ghosts in limbo at this point. The Creator just managed to skip the suicide step that transcendence cults usually require, though their bodies ended up breaking down over time, anyway.

Thinking of it being akin to Heavens Gate is kinda freaky.

I always felt that the whole activation sequence looked like how lesbians first have sex.

I did fall off the bed trying a new thing once, so you're not wrong.

Anyway, the cutscene with Brink always struck me as being a bit off. Maggie is totally engrossed with her Palm so I guess they planned for the circumstances to be different? That or she got tired of the arguing and was playing the lunar lander game.
