Quote (Ugo @ April 21 2010, 17:55) | @ Alexander: oh, you're right. The Flying Bell. [This reminds me of a Spanish guy in here - José Miguel Serrano - whose nickname I don't recall right now. ] Yes, I do remember that. And I do remember it being quite hard to find, while the guitar is relatively easy to spot. About the turtle, I remember reading in the "TL Guide" topic, within this board, that you had to shoot it to play the song, and I always did it that way. The only time I wandered close to it and actually touched it without really meaning to, the song did start playing, but the little turtles around the main one didn't emerge from the water - something which regularily happens when you shoot it. So I guess Mike actually meant the turtle to be hit to get the full effect. Regarding the "evil snake" and the turtle, well, as far as I know, in real life, snakes do sometimes swallow turtles, or at least they're able to. So I guess that Mike (or Nick Catcheside?) was just trying to imitate nature. Anyway, I never saw that happen within the game. On the few occasions I intentionally picked the red snake (just to see what happened) and on the several other occasions when some friends of mine, who couldn't really play, picked it, the snake just crawled to ominous music and let me (or my friends) directly into the "Bad World". Nothing ever happened to the turtle. I guess you have to activate/hit/touch/trigger it to make it actually come into play.
@ nightspore (OT): what is the actual meaning of "Bob's your uncle" ? I guess it's one of those things that are typical of the English (British) cultural environment, of which I, being Italian, obviously know nothing at all... |
Hi Ugo, AR Schultz - thanks for your comments.
First, I propose that the "Good World" be renamed the "Tiresome World", as I was trapped there again last night, with nary a bell in sight! I consoled myself by restarting the game and flying out to Obelisk Island instead!
Ugo, "Bob's your uncle" just means "very easily accomplished". Presumably Bob is a common name for uncles (well, I guess it is - I had one!, and so is something very easy to have.
