I bet you’d like to spend some time a-puzzlin’ this week, eh? Well perhaps you can, if you enter our shiny Lucid competition. It’s a puzzle game! We’ve got a bunch of Steam codes to give away, and you can win them with a minimum of effort! All you have to do is email us here and tell us what puzzles you. The most puzzled people will win.
Usual rules apply. Closing date is midday, 13th August.
You can trade it for a hat!

Yer mum puzzles me lol! In bed!

I guess that’s because it looks like some pieces are missing…

So there’s a game called Lucid, and another game called Lucidity; and yet Mojang is getting sued over calling their game Scrolls.

Puzzling isn’t it?

Notch wanted to trademark the word “Scrolls”. If successful, thereafter he could have pulled a Langdell and prevented anyone from using that word in a game title. And to protect his trademark he would have been obliged to.
This isn’t rocket science. Notch attempted to do a bad thing on the advice of his lawyers and, hopefully, he’ll be prevented from doing so. He can call his game anything he wants – it’s attempting to trademark a common word that’s wrong, and which ruffled Bethesda’s feathers.
Even a trademark on “Notch’s Scrolls” or “Mojang’s Scrolls” would be fine.

You have completely changed my views on the Notch vs Bethesda scuffle. I originally seen Notch as the underdog (like many of you), but I now feel that position is not right. Common words should be free to all and never trademarked.
Get ‘em Bethesda.

Jim, err… what about the other unresolved compos, like a month back?
report
Yes, this is what is puzzling. Especially since you said “No, it hasn’t actually been judged. My fault, I’ll fix it early next week and post the winners” three weeks ago. Just call us the compo police.
report
Also the BF3 compo. Should I still be excited about the possibility of going to Sweden?
report
It puzzles me why you would go out and riot when you can stay in with a nice cup of tea?

I like free games, but not free match-3 games

In the picture the player is matching 20.

I love the look and idea of this game, but the fact that you have to constantly hold the mouse button down as you’re selecting blocks makes my wrist hurt just thinking about it.
report
The brain processing power of your wrist…, puzzles me.
