Try not to give up again, AzureWolf. I know that year had the toughest puzzles so far as I continue to play this game. There were two items that had me stumped for a while. I wanted to use a guide, but I did not give in. Whatever you do stay away from guides. Don't let it ruin that sense of accomplishment, especially with this game. Once you found the solution, it feels great knowing you solved it on your own.

I slapped my head twice when I got those items. 

So far I played about 5 hours today and I'm almost done with this game. I say about less than 2 hours till I'm done. I'm kinda sad the adventure is coming to an end. Tomorro it will probably end.  :'(

What makes it even more sad was when...

Spoiler

Chepito says goodbye to Manny as he walks into the tunnel for eternal rest while singing the line " let it shine, let it shine, let it shine..." That little part was like saying goodbye to a special and dear friend even though you didn't spend much time getting to know one another. Then knowing you'll never see 'em again.   :'(

Now this is interesting. It's probably the first time I actually see someone posting as they play a game.

Hmmm, maybe I could do that from now on. Every time I start a game, I start a new thread, and say exactly what I feel while I'm playing, and ask the odd question about it... and do it for every single game that I play.

Or I could just write a review and get it published.

Well, all is done.  :'(

My adventure has ended. Beaten it and enjoyed every second of it. Took me a little over 35 hours and made me want more. I wish the ending was a little long though. I wished it had explained what happened to...

Spoiler

the Department of the Dead (a little scene at least) since Manny was given a retirement ticket to go to the land of eternal rest. I also wanted to see what the other side of the tunnel looked like. I guess it was best to just leave it like that... a mystery. I would like a sequel, but I doubt we will ever get one as it wouldn't be the same without Manny.

I can also definately say this is the best game I've ever played and I've been playing video games since the Atari 2600. No other game has ever had a great cast of characters and epic story. This is a game everyone must play before they die. One last thing...

Spoiler

I love the small scene where Manny in his Grim Reaper suit slashes the flowered ground to reveal Salvador's headless body to get the key. That was ultra memorable!

Now that I'm done with this game I can now focus on these 36 AGS games I've downloaded. 

Mods, can you please close this topic? I am done.

I know man! that was a great scene. Something about it, maybe it was the music or something. It seemed almost tragic.
