How does Henry Hatsworth compare to Professor Layton?

Good to hear that Pete's has more Bemani, but do they have working controllers for the games?

I haven't played Layton, couldn't tell you.

Controllers seemed fine the last few times I've gone.

Professor Layton has you investigate a European-style village to solve a murder mystery, except nobody will talk to you unless you solve puzzles. Many of the puzzles come right out of the classic puzzle books (move one toothpick/matchstick to change the picture entirely, measure x cups of liquid using only pitchers of size y and z, get various animals across the river without anything getting eaten, if A is so many years older than B but three times as old as B in n years how old are they, trace the shape without picking up the stylus) but some take a little thought.

So Pete's has fixed up their Bemani games? I haven't gone in months, maybe close to a year, but I remember Guitar Freaks with one controller missing, Drummania with busted-up pads, and neither one powered.

I just found this review of Harry Hatsworth on Something Awful while trying to find JeffK's Usar Freindley cartoon:

A British-looking puzzley platformer, like Braid with all the self-fellatio removed to make room for more fun. 9/10

Braid did have a lot of self-fellatio. I shall have to investigate this Harry Hatsworth.

I totally agree. Fuck standard: you have to either play with Great Fable Staple or Bombslayer Angel. Furthermore, fuck the mythic rarity.

How are the pads for V3? I heard Pete's changed their hours.

I can't confirm or deny the new hours, but the pads are good.

I still read your posts!

I wish I had something more constructive to say than that. I blame work eating my brain.
