Too easy?

[Shwoo]

It's not obvious, but it's not illogical. Paper clip chains have a hook on the end. It's really unclear if you ahve the sound effects turned off, though. The Mimesweeper music that plays in the main office of Hell is a hint, but the first I played, I couldn't hear it because the sound skipped if I had the sound effects on. Also, I think figuring out that you need a Mimesweeper cartridge is part of the puzzle and not impossible even without the sound effects, but I wish they'd referred to the carts by name more than once.

I also got the Satan's grocery list one pretty easily, but I think I was spoiled to it beforehand. Regardless, Hugh Bliss makes it clear that he only bleeps what's on the list, and you do need to hear under the bleeps to continue.

I don't think those puzzles were illogical. Just hard.

The one I thought was worse in that episode was using Satin's shopping list to replace the list of words that got bleeped. I just didn't understand how that could help anything.

Oh yeah I forgot that one, that was worse, because 1) You would never think of doing it, because it was so preposterous. And 2) You think Hugh Bliss would notice the list has changed. And 3) Just because it's there, suddenly the original cuss words would be instantaneously unbleeped, because it being in that perticular place on the wall can do that?

[Shwoo]

No, Hugh Bliss bleeps everything manually, and uses the list as a guide for what to bleep. As to why he didn't notice, maybe he assumed someone else in his department put it there or something?

Thanks for telling me, shame the game didn't make it clear.

Why? They're all working on efficency. And I'm sure someone would have notified it to him first about it.

I know, but the idea that he wouldn't notice the words that he had been beeping all this time had changed was just... well... it was hard!

Agreed, I simply breezed through the last two episodes - they were hideously funny, but there wasn't anything too difficult to me.

IMO, to verify if the vehicle was legit

You had to find out Peepers' real name, which was bleeped when Tommy said it - it was obvious that you needed the name to break the spell on Sybil. I though it was quite logical.

The game never told me to do that, it didn't even tell me during the hints. It just said "we need to uncover its true form, so I used Stinky's baby book, hoping ever so desperately that Peepers was that receipe of the damned thing like Stinky was.

The problem for me was I had no idea the things Timmy were saying weren't hardcore, that there wasn't a legit reason not to bleep him. I thought everything he said was bleeped for a reason.

And it was also mentioned that you had to say the name of a demon to uncover its true form. Believe me, I assembled that solution from the clues.

Ah, but they were! Peeper's name was Dick Peacock, which can be interpreted as three swearwords if someone was trying as hard as Hugh Bliss Also, when I first heard Timmy's words bleeped out, I immediately had the idea that the guy's name could be Dick (search me ), and I was on the right track from there.

[Randulf]

The more illogical part of this puzzle is Max's not knowing Peeper's real name, despite calling himself a big fan of the Poppers.

Yeah, I probably should have seen it coming. They didn't make it clear why knowing his true name would scare him off though. Also, How is 'pea' a swear word?

Grandpa Stinky tells you to read Stinky's true name to reveal her true form (a cake). Sybil is enchanted with Peepers because she sees his super-sexy version instead of his true form.

And: "pea" isn't a swear word, but "pee" could be.

Wow, I worked that puzzle out almost instantly! I noticed the number plates and thought 'hmm I wonder if those letters correspond with the colours. Oh yes, they do!'

Just finished episode 203... that one was difficult! I would never have noticed the books on the painting had the words necessary to open the bookcase when getting Abe's brain and I struggled with the holy water because I hadn't seen the bowl in the office!. I knew I needed the tar cake but I didn't realise that Jesse James' hand moved when I shot it. Easily the most difficult episode so far and it seems there's even harder to come if what people say is true! Will need a walkthrough handy I think!

That one took me a lot of time, too. It's because we've both broken an important adventure gaming rule - pay close attention to every detail
Funny thing was, I knew I had to feed Max something as a deterrent, but I was trying to make him eat the garlic clove cigarettes, and for some reason, it didn't work
