    I wouldn't be terribly upset if something was gifted my way. Amnesia to shit my pants or Shatter for the curse of Ungettable Objectives.

    How do you see if you have copies of something to give? I'm pretty sure I still have HL2 and the episodes to gift but I don't know where I would find that.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that Shatter's bonus mode is actually the spawn of Satan.

    Shatter's bonus mode is a lovecraftian horror designed to destroy (or, if you will "shatter") the last vestiges of sanity in our frail human minds, the coup de grace to Amnesia's onslaught. But 'tis the season, of course. Scary solstice to you all.

    If there are only 3 levels I don't understand how you can get to it... I freaking lost all 3 of mine on the first level after the first bounce...

    Also, what's the fastest way to get the Crass Menagerie? Are there certain levels with them?

    Shatters bonus mode became much more manageable once I realised that it wasn't the levels between levels, there was an actual play mode called Bonus. It made my head hurt, though... from the slap.

    Shatter is an awesome. I am going to gift it to one luck son-of-a-gun :)

    Just a quick competition to determine the winner;

    What's the most expensive thing you've ever broken? I mean, SHATTERED, completely unable to be repaired and now useless

    I'll look at the first 5 stories and notify a winner :)

    I made root beer a ways back. It was with a little kit that came with yeast and the root beer flavoring- you added a few pounds of sugar to this massive mix and poured it into bottles, let them sit for a few months to ferment. More specifically, all of these older bottles with resealable caps my dad had lying around from when he would brew actual beer. We threw the ingredients all together, poured them in, sealed the bottles, and left them in a nice, cool, dry spot in the basement, awaiting pure, sugary delight.

    Three weeks later, I decided to test out a bottle to see how things were going. It turns out we added about four times the recommended amount of yeast.

    It wasn't too much yeast, they gleefully have sex in your beer, it was skipping the part of the fermentation process where you ferment the beer in a container with blow-off valves which was the problem. ;)

    All except the mudmen in Swamp Fever are in the first levels of their respective campaigns (Dead Center, Swamp Fever, The Parish, Dark Carnival). Mudmen are in the second level of Swamp Fever. You can do it in single player, and quit as soon as you've killed a HAZMAT suit zombie/CLown/Mudman/Riot cop.

    edit: wait, I think the clowns maybe don't appear until the second level of Dark Carnival.

    ... And the winner is HiT BiT! :D That dreadful feeling fucking something up that's incredibly expensive but then feeling completely relieved when you know it wasn't your fault but some gremlin in the system is well known to me. Hope you continued on with the job! :)

Peewi the smarmy git is the next target on my leaderboard with 11,300,000. I refuse to believe he did it. Its lies. LIES GOD DAMMIT! FUCKING YOU DEVELOPERS OF SHATTER.

    The bonus stage is in 3 stages: one where you start on the left side, 2nd is the bottom of the screen, 3rd is the bubble type stage.

    I finally did the Shatter achievement, I dominated levels 1 and 2 with over 5mil each and then level 3 gave me a bullshit break and all three balls hit each other right over my paddle and zipped straight off the screen. I squeaked away with exactly 11,200,000 :P

    The Shatter goal is 11.2 million. I thought it was 12.5 million...

    I spent an hour trying to beat 12.5 million points while I had a high score of 11.3 million...

    Needless to say, I am annoyed. On the bright side, I got 13 million.

    I picked it up when it hit the PSN after some positive reviews. And then put maybe 3-4 hours into it over a few weeks and never touched it again because it bored the crap out of me.

    edit: I do like TBS games. This one was just overly easy, with too little in the way of options to hold my interest.
