The problem with puzzles especially in adventure games was that the puzzle was designed by a guy high on ketamine and psychedelic's, often using fairy tale logic over actual logic, which to me defeats the whole ******* point of a good puzzle.

No, you're thinking of Kirkbride when he wrote about penis spears and belly magic.

Adventure game puzzles are made by the guys who are forced to sit around tinkering with them for long periods so that they're the only ones in the office who can solve them. That way they can sell hint books at 24 bucks a shot later on or bilk people on the hint line.

Adventure games killed adventure games, but I'm sure proliferation of walkthroughs on the world wide web helped make them less profitable.

But call him a cheat and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”

******* based, rare roosty w. "Puzzles" in games are either:

- Tedious maze crawling where you are forced to tackle the switch/route in exactly the same way the soydevs intend you to.
- Stupid riddle that barely, if ever, makes sense.
- Mini-game that's completely detached from the main gameplay mechanic.
- Artifact hunting, in many cases you can't even tell if something has anything to do with any puzzle or not.
- All the above

**** puzzles
