Thanks to the all-consuming Matt, I now find myself playing this far more than is probably healthy for me. It’s like a really goofy, cartoon Lego version of Myst — which I guess is what I really want to be playing. Apparently, there’s a collection of all three Myst games due some time at the end of the month. I do have a birthday in a couple of weeks…and it is only forty dollars…but probably the last thing I need right now is an excuse to spend more time in front of my computer. In the three weeks since I first started The Talisman, I’ve read a pitiful total of about sixty pages. I need to start rectifying that. And I need to start writing more on my own.
