Hearing Language or the Kiss -- Indigo Girls

Drive Yourself Insane

Oh, my. This game Reverse will drive you nuts, nuts, nuts. And all it does is reverse your mouse inputs and make you try to navigate through a maze. You'll be astounded and humbled at just how difficult that is. I had to stop playing or lose the entire day.

I sent my oldest son the link. (After I hadn't made it up very many levels, mind.) He thought it was fun, but wrote back that if you turn your mouse upside down on the actual game, then move your hand the want you normally would, the cursor moves in the same direction as your hand and it makes it easier to win. I'm torn between being impressed that he figured it out so fast (and that I have a smart kid) and annoyed that it never would have occurred to me to do that!

I lasted all of two minutes, and thought I was going to have to call an whah-ambulance to take me to the nearest pysch ward! It really made me nervous! ;)

Maybe it's just on my rig (though I wouldn't know why since everything else works fine) but that thing is WAY too sensitive, I don't get nailed by the reversed controls, I get nailed by my dot shooting straight into a wall whenever I lift my mouse to get away from the edge of the mat :P.

Maybe i have an unfair advantage. My mouse is already set on left-handed controls. Ahhhhhh the perks of being a lefty!

Your "How to add a picture in your "About me" " really helped. Hehe... would you happen to know how to add a guestbook in there also? Heh... Nice journal.
