Discussion in 'General Parenting' started by JJJ, Sep 24, 2009.
Please update. You have been in my thoughts all day.
Are you ok? Please check in.
She posted an update on her thread. The RO was extended.
Nothing much has happened. I've just been living my life and getting used to being a single again and taking care of administrative things. It's been good. Life is better, calmer, nicer, more pleasant, I sleep better, the kids are doing well, the neighbors supportive, etc... I used to cry about twice a week, haven't had to do that since he left.
I don't think things are going as well for him. I got the divorce summons this morning. He wants the joint home equity loan debt to be unevenly divided, but other than that doesn't seem to want to fight about anything. Debt is split equally in FL, so he probably won't get it. He says much of it went to pay off my van. Well, so, he agreed, and I also paid ALL the downpayment on the house, ALL the closing costs ($27,000 together), all the kitchen remodel, and a bunch of other stuff that if he'd paid his half, I wouldn't have had to use the equity loan to pay off my van. The judge will very likely order half and half, but it doesn't matter if he tries to get 'unequal' distribution of debt and 'relief', FL is 50/50.
Things haven't gone too well for him. My atty called this morning. xDH's 1988 truck broke and he wants to retrieve his 1988 starion that doesn't work so he can repair it and drive it. He has two of them, one was going to be used to fix the other and one is completely undrivable. He wants to tow them away. So we'll have to make arrangements. Last weekend I bought a new Sante Fe with a sun roof, nav system, cool gadgets, woodgrain, etc... Sucks to be him. (I looked in the window of the undrivable starion and there was a rat in it--I told my atty and he said, "Well, we won't fight him for the rats". LOL). I think
I had root canal on Tuesday and got out early and was driving thru the neighborhood to go see the jeweller; I'm going to have my wedding ring made into a regular ring with a sunrise topaz I got on the cruise set into it. When I bought the ring I was with husband and had hoped he would buy it for me seeing he never got me an anniversary gift and I had just paid $7000 for a cruise for him and his kids. He made a half hearted offer and I countered with, "But money's a little tight for you." He agreed and didn't insist and I looked at it and really wanted it and thought to myself, actually I want to buy it for myself. Sunrise topaz, the beginning of a new day, either I'm going to be happily married or I'm going to be happily divorced. So now it turns out I'm going to be happily divorced. And I'm glad I bought it. I love my wedding band, and inside it says: my love forever, which I think is probably true. However mad he might be, I was his greatest love and greatest hope for a happy future, even though he blew it. So I'm going to combine the two and wear it on my right hand, it has meaning for me.
Anyway I was driving thru the neighborhood and came upon the school bus dropping off kids, and low and behold, stepdau gets off the bus. She doesn't notice me because I'm in a new car. She's not with anyone, she wanders halfway up the street, then turns around and wanders back to the bus stop and up another street. She's just nine and all the other kids have disappeared with their moms, so it isn't as if she's going home with someone to play. And if she had an aftercare situation in one of the houses, then she would know where it was and not be wandering around, right?
So I'm a bit concerned about her. But there are other cars, so I drive around the block. When I pass her again, she's halfway down the block to the turn to my house, her old house and about two blocks away from a major street. WTH is she going? I go around the block again, now really concerned, and when I pass where she should be, she's gone. I think husband probably picked her up; I didn't notice his car, because his truck broke and he probably is driving a loaner from work or a rental. There was a car also circling the block in the opposite direction that caught my notice because I passed it twice and couldn't see the driver, a bit unusual, I wonder now if it was husband, and he picked her up after school and took her home.
In any case, she is no longer living at my address, husband has an RO which extends to his kids, so she's not allowed to, and she should not be going to that school. There are no rentals in this schools' district, only expensive houses husband couldn't even afford to rent. I wonder if she's alone with difficult child after school. I bet she is. This is really too bad. It felt strange and sad to see her, especially with her walking down an empty street appearing like she didn't know where she was supposed to go and not allowed to go to her own house. I felt really bad for her. Really bad.
On the other hand, husband might be dropping her off at an empty house or wherever they are living and having difficult child do aftercare. difficult child always loved aftercare (but then so did stepdau) but if husband can only afford one, he'll send difficult child. My 15 year old and I once saw difficult child walking home from school when I went to pick up the 15 year old after school, but we only saw him that once, so I don't know what happened to him.
On the way home from work, CPS legal division called me. She said she hadn't forgotten me and would send me the reports right away. She was very friendly, and said she didn't want me worrying that they'd forgotten. This is not the kind of thing people try to reassure child abusers about, so I'm guessing the reports state that I'm well cleared and difficult child is a mess. It will be interesting what they say about husband. husband would love to know, but will have to get his own reports. Oh wait, I don't know that he can. I have a need to know because of my security clearance, he doesn't. And they are confidential.
So that's where we stand. It's weird, but nice. I feel like I'm detoxifying and getting stronger and happier every day. I've even been asked out. Who would have thought, I'm FORTY EIGHT years old!
Ummmm... you're not dead yet, right? Glad to hear you are feeling better and getting to a healthier place. It's a sad situation, but you really have to do what's best for you.
Hang on, in Fl it's 50:50 split. I'm sorry, you have to take a cleaver to that rat... I mean the furry one, not the xDH.
Just looked at the divorce petition again, and he wants me to pay for his attorney because he makes less than me.
Well, he also works less than me (32 vs 40 hours). And with his child support, his take home pay and total monthly cash in pocket equals mine.
Now that I've gotten caught up and read both updates...
I'm glad the RO was extended...I was a bit worried about you.
I know this is said as someone who isn't facing the possible financial outcome of all of this but...You sound so much more relaxed and peaceful. Sometimes it's hard to discern someone's tone/emotions from a typed message but yours makes it sound like the weight of the world has been lifted from your shoulders and I'm very glad to hear that! I know there are other emotions and feelings about the entire situation but I think this is the best thing you could have done for yourself. This will work out for you, maybe not how you would prefer, but it will work out. You sound like you are breathing again versus previous posts where it seemed as if you were so tense that you were holding your breath.
I don't know if anything I've said makes sense but you sound much better already. You can do this!
And as for being asked out? I'm with Gcv....you're not dead! LOL Good for you!!!
While it is a shame that ex has but stepdau in that position, all you can do is tell CPS about it. Not sure what good it would do. Just keep on top on things so you don't lose your security clearance.
As for him wanting you to pay off his atty fees and most of the debt? Turn it all over to the shark of an atty you have.
Of course you got asked out! You are an interesting dynamic and attractive woman - what guy wouldn't want to go out with you???
Hugs. You really do sound happier. I am glad.

Slash's new album World on Fire is out next month and he's giving fans who pre-order the album a sneak peak of a new track called "30 Years to Life."
If that doesn't convince you enough to pre-order the record, he just released a 15-minute clip of the track, which is, of course, full of killer riffs (above). The track, and album for that matter, features Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, who are currently on the road with Slash for his dates with Aerosmith on the #LetRockRule Tour.
Slash's World on Fire is due out Sept. 16.

About Madeleine

She is well known for her healing skills for both animals and humans on both emotional and physical levels. Madeleine specialises in the past life connections between animals and their human carers.

Carolyn Burdet Editor of Kindred Spirit
Animal Consultations
Consult a veterinary surgeon if you are at all concerned with your animal's health.
Madeleine offers personal unique readings for your animal and its deep connection with you. Upon forming a loving bond with your animals' energy Madeleine opens a communication channel enabling your animal friend to describe past trauma's, explain their past life connection with you through their reincarnation, advise on your health issues and possible problems within the home and family. Animals may also provide a link to loved ones in spirit. If you wish her to connect to a beloved animal in spirit she is very happy to perform a reading with just a photograph.
For distance readings please send or email some photographs, with name of animal, age, how long you have been together, some specific questions and cheque for £45 (made payable to M. Walker) Please email Madeleine for contact address.
Madeleine will provide a written report. This report will detail advice on what is required to facilitate healing and ongoing well being. This may include Homoeopathy and flower remedies, an action plan for distant healing and negative energy release for your animal companion, your family or your home.
For clients outside of the UK, please pay for readings in Sterling (UK pounds) by PayPal. A fee of £48 will be charged if paying by PayPal to cover their charges. My PayPal address is email@example.com
Pets can be brought to Madeleine's home clinic, or home or yard visits can be arranged. Madeleine endeavours to keep her travel costs down so she will try and book several visits in the same area, so costs can be shared.
Follow on sessions can be arranged if the animal consultation flags up any issues that might need some extra help in the human carer. For example confidence and self belief issues or physical and emotional challenges It's amazing how in tune our animals are with our needs!
Please note a cancellation fee will be charged if less than 24hours notice is given.
These can be arranged at rescue Kennels or Livery yards where there are several people interested in consultations. Madeleine can be booked for a whole day of individual sessions.
For more information on charges etc, please email Madeleine or contact her on +44 (0)1823 442429 or mobile 07929 312920. She will be very happy to discuss your issues and will do her utmost to be of help. Fees for consultations include ongoing support either by telephone or email until a satisfactory, positive outcome is resolved.
Madeleine is the strongest and most holistic therapist I have encountered. Working with the horse and rider, she is able to get to the root cause of a problem, with amazing results.

Tata automaker unveiled its electric vehicle prototype at the North American International Show which runs through January 22, 2012 in Detroit.
As part of the Michelin Challenge Design display, Tata was selected to show its eMO, which stands for electric MObility engineering study.
The affordable electric vehicle is a four-passenger, urban-oriented car with an estimated price tag of $20,000. With 300 engineers from four auto engineering centers and 15 new patents, the aerodynamic car with a futuristic design can travel at top speeds of 65 MPH with a range of up to 100 miles per charge.
Designed to pass all US federal safety requirements, the stylish electric vehicle sports suicide doors, dual motor, steel frame and spacious interiors. The back seats can be folded down for more cargo space. Molded polymer panels allowed the traditional body shop and paint processes to be eliminated.
Other features include a glass roof, nine air bags, dashboard touchscreen and eco-friendly materials.
While the electric vehicle was developed "strictly as an engineering study with no particular automaker in mind," vehicle manufacturers interested in exploring the potential of the eMO would be welcomed, according to Kevin Fisher, President of Tata's Vehicle Programs and Development Group.

Nanotechnology, as I understand it, is about building entire machines out of atoms, on a nanoscale. This would allow us to interact with the world in a completely different way, for instance, physically ripping bacteria apart instead of trying to kill them with chemicals. So a cell phone doesn't fit the description: even though transistors can be measured in nanometers, the whole CPU, let alone the cell phone, is far beyond the nanoscale.

There will be no future archaeologists. How can they assume a huge cultural discontinuity that would require archaeology?
The only reason we have any archaeology is because people didn't write anything down.
I can find out precisely when a building was built, sold, and how many times it was repaired, just by visiting the online city hall archives.
Not only that, I can get a map of my city for every century, and then some. Everything that ever happened here since God knows when. Like 1850 or so? I can get a list of all the people that lived in any given place since the 16th century, when the Church started keeping track of baptismal records. Online.
Why would things ever stop being archived and kept track of? Seriously. Are we going to have a nuclear war or something?
The whole archive would probably fit on a USB pen drive. Making 1000 copies every year would be a rounding error on the city's budget.

Basak's Lifespan Neuroscience and Cognition Lab
The Lifespan Neuroscience and Cognition (LiNC) lab is located in the Center for Vital Longevity, University of Texas at Dallas, and is directed by Dr. Chandramallika Basak. We utilize both behavioral and brain imaging techniques to understand the mechanisms of memory and complex skill and how these abilities may change and be enhanced across our lifespan. Our research is particularly focused on the interaction between working memory and attentional control, sources of individual differences of enhanced learning and memory, and how they are affected by age and memory disorders.

If Verizon employees are excited about the opportunity to get an iPhone on Verizon's network – they will have to wait. Verizon sent out an email to all employees yesterday asking them to refrain from purchasing an iPhone so that there will enough phones available for customers. Continue past the break to see the letter…
Apparently, if employees purchase an iPhone on a company line, rather than a personal line, they will be asked to pay for the service. But there is nothing stopping Verizon employees from purchasing an iPhone for personal use, it is just "frowned upon".
So what does this mean? Verizon iPhones may be tough to get for a while. iPhones are available for existing Verizon customers starting today, and will be available online for new customers starting February 9th at 3:01am. They will be available in stores on February 10th at 7am.

9:59am 14th November 2014
Police in Bridport are trying to trace a cyclist who collided with a car in the town on Wednesday (12th November).

A red Ford KA was waiting at the give way line in Alexandra Road to turn left when a cyclist travelling down Skilling Hill Road lost control and collided with the KA.
The cyclist, described as a man aged between 50 and 60, came off his bicycle. He got up, declined medical treatment and cycled off leaving no details.
He was riding a bright green mountain bike and was wearing a black leather jacket.
Police Constable Sara Mackay, of Bridport police, said: "I believe the cyclist suffered a bump to his head following the collision and I urge him to please call me on 101.
"I would also like to hear from anyone who witnessed this incident to get in contact with me."

Archaeological geophysics is the use of remote, near-surface geophysical prospection to map potential buried archaeological resources. These methods are non-invasive, non-destructive, involve the collection and curation of no artifacts, and are fast and efficient. Archaeological geophysics can be helpful for site evaluations, as well as for guiding intensive excavations through targeting subsurface features.
Near surface geophysical prospection methods employed by New South Associates includes ground-penetrating radar (GPR), magnetic gradiometer, resistivity, and electromagnetic conductivity. Each method relies on different geophysical principles and is used to resolve different types of features on different types of sites. The site location, surrounding environment, and desired types of features to be resolved dictates which instrument or instruments are best suited. In many cases, multiple geophysical methods are recommended; in some cases, environmental factors, project goals, and economy limit mean that one method is best for a given project.
New South Associates has successfully used remote sensing to help address a range of archaeological issues. At archaeological sites, it can make it possible to pinpoint the locations of structures, rail lines, pit features, foundations, kilns, and other buried features, which allows our project archaeologists to complete projects with greater accuracy and efficiency. On cemeteries, remote sensing can be used as part of a larger cemetery restoration or relocation project to locate unmarked graves and accurately determine cemetery boundaries.

Flagler College Theatre Arts graduate Micah Laird has been hired as Limelight Theatre's new Production Manager.
The Production Manager is responsible for ensuring that all aspects of the production are completed within budget, according to the designer's and director's wishes, and in time for the first public performance.
"We are thrilled to have this multi-talented young man on board with us here at Limelight," said Beth Lambert, Limelight Theatre's Executive Director.
"Micah came to us as a theatre student several years ago and has learned so much at Flagler and here at Limelight in his many roles. Anything he has been asked to do, he has completed it and gone above and beyond. We appreciate our internship program with Flager College's Theatre Arts program," Lambert said.
Laird has worked at Limelight in other freelance positions including stage manager, assistant stage manager and a teaching artist for the Kidzfactory (children's education) program.
Laird graduated from Flagler College in May 2014 with Summa Cum Laude honors with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts and Secondary Drama Education.
Before moving to St. Augustine for college, he lived with his family in New Port Richey and upstate New York. He has been in Florida since age 12.
"I have been involved in more than 50 productions (on and off the stage) since the age of 12," Laird said.
Some of his favorite roles in shows include Clov in "Endgame" by Samuel Beckett; Jay in "Lost in Yonkers" by Neil Simon; and Willard in "Footloose" by Rodgers and Hammerstein.
Favorite shows he's stage managed include "Bad Seed" by Maxwell Anderson and "Poof!" by Lynn Nottage.
Micah worked in the scene shop at Flagler College as an undergrad. He built sets, hung lights and assisted with load-ins and load-outs for shows that used the space at Lewis Auditorium at the college — EMMA Concert Series, China National Symphony Orchestra, First Coast Opera, Jack Daniels Band, Philadelphia Dance Company and others.
He also has worked as a freelance stage hand and technician. His most recent gig was for the National Bodybuilding Championships.
"I plan on furthering my education and obtaining an M.F.A in either Theatre Management or Drama Education," Laird explained.
His future career goals include working in higher education or in a management position at a professional theater company.

I am totally loving this bag...now I just have to find a way to afford it!!
I got a Mulberry Emmy in Oak for my 21st present, luckily the dear boyf got it for me! Love the Bayswater as well tho, and it's not nearly as expensive as most designer bags! It's a classic as well! I Mulberry, leather is so soft...
Have you tried the Mulberry outlets? They virtually always have Bayswaters - depending on what colour & size you want.
I'm not sure where you are in the world but they do post out.The best one is at Shepton Mallet in Somerset in the UK which is where Mulberry has its HQ.
Me! I'm waiting for it to come out in Magenta:
I have a tooled bayswater in almond and chocolate-- it's beautiful and I get tons of compliments on it. Just scratches easily and I'm paranoid with it being close to water as I heard water stains on light colored darwin leather is a nightmare!
Thanks Sara...I have plenty of places to buy one as I'm a London Girl and I've been to the Mulberry shop in Knightsbridge on several occasions. But at the moment the problem is finding the funds!! Especially as I bought the Dior mini gaucho very recently, which pretty much cleared my savings account
But I will find a way!
I would like a Bayswater...and have to wait until it goes on sale. Used to be at NM online and Saks online -- but seem to have disappeared from the online sites. Any idea why, anyone? I live "far away" and so depend on online purchasing...
I'm near a fairly major US city, and they are hard to find here too. I checked with my local Saks and Neiman's, and neither store carries Mulberry at all any more. Nordstrom does, but yesterday they had only a few, and no Bayswaters. The SA said they'd sent their unsold Bayswaters back to the manufacturer a few months ago. Hopefully I don't have to go all the way to London to find one!
I want one too! I fell in love with the pink one, but here in Italy Mulberry is hard to find and my only chance is Ebay, but right now I can't afford it, I have to wait at least 2 months . Do you know if the outlet in UK do post to other European countries and how much does a Bayswater costs at outlets?
try harrods on-line. They ship internationally and have the bayswaters in oak, black and chocolate!
I want one too but am saving up!!! (maybe next xmas!!)
I hadn't thought of Harrod's!
The Net-A-Porter site says they ship to "more than 100 countries around the world."
The Bayswater is beautiful. I just purchased by telephone an Emmy in oak from the Mulberry shop on Bleeker in NYC. I am patiently awaiting its arrival. I also have a Phoebe that I love. The leather is luscious. I am obsessed!!
This week I saw two bright coloured Bayswater bags in luisaviaroma.com. One in yellow, one in lime-like green, both at reduced price of ~500. Now it seems that they are already gone.
You can buy direct from Mulberry...I'm not sure where they do/don't deliver to (being a shop-in-person kinda girl who is lucky enough to live near good shops), but on their website it does say 'international delivery is available worldwide'...
Oh, I'm so with you! I think it's very versatile, goes with a lot and is both somewhat dressy and casual at the same time. And the leather... I have laid my eyes on the vanilla Bays, but maybe it's too close in color to my Mulberry Fitzrovia in Chester, both are very light...

The 2017 season has been well underway for Devin Jones and the Barbarian monster truck as they've criss-crossed the country and even made a brief visit into Canada as a while participating in one of Monster Jam's stadium tours against top level competition every weekend. Jones paired up with good friend Jamey Garner of the Over Bored monster truck for the six week stretch of events that started in Tampa, Florida at Raymond James Stadium. The night started off well enough with Jones and Barbarian making the top eight in qualifying to make the racing bracket. In round one Jones would defeat El Toro Loco to move into the semi-finals before falling to eventual racing winner Son-uva Digger. Unfortunately mechanical gremlins would come into play during freestyle ending their performance early but an otherwise solid outing for the team. The next weekend would be a rough outing as mechanical problems once again struck and would sideline the Barbarian for the majority of the event in Orlando. From Orlando it was on to Toronto, Ontario for two events at the massive Rogers Centre for the third week of action. After a nightmare of a weekend in Orlando, Jones was able to find some much needed consistency in Toronto and was able to put together good performances in both the wheelie and freestyle competitions throughout the weekend.
Stop four of the tour brought the Barbarian back to the familiar surroundings of St. Louis, Missouri where Jones had competed just months earlier. It would be a memorable night for the team as Jones put together one of his best racing performances of his career. The night started with Jones making the racing bracket to face off with Wrecking Crew in round one. Jones would pick up the round win there to face off with teammate Over Bored in the semi-finals, where Jones would come out ahead over his good friend to move onto the finals to face Son-uva Digger. It would be a spectacular race with Jones losing rear steering during the race but still managing to pull off a victory against one of the sports strongest racers! They would wrap the night up with a solid freestyle to put a cap on their best night of the season.
After the great win in St. Louis it was off to the west as the Barbarian team headed to Anaheim, California's Angel Stadium where they hoped to carry some good momentum from the week before. Jones was able to qualify in the top eight once again to make the racing bracket, but would be defeated by the always tough Monster Energy in round one. In freestyle it would be another good run from the Barbarian but not enough to compete for the win ending a solid night for Jones. The final stop of the tour would be Oakland, California where the season didn't end quite the way Jones and the Barbarian would've hoped. A mechanical issue would keep the truck from making both the racing bracket and the wheelie competition to start the night, but Jones and company thrashed to get the truck back for freestyle and their efforts would be successful. Jones was able to put together another good freestyle after the necessary repairs were completed and put on a show for the fans in Oakland.
Overall it was an up and down first quarter, but a memorable one nonetheless as Devin Jones and the Barbarian gained new fans across the United States and into Canada. After a brief bit of downtime Jones and the Barbarian are ready to get back into action starting this coming weekend in Enid, Oklahoma.

What so many politicians fail to understand is that if you want to sell something, you have to spell out your offer in a clear and unambiguous manner. You have to create excitement and enthusiasm. People need to be able to identify with your passion and your goals. I don't think these simple home truths have got through to our Ed. I am not excited or enthused by 'an alternative' nor do I fully understand what exactly the alternative is. What the country is desperate for is new ideas, something people can get behind. Opening your trap when all you have to offer is a blank sheet of paper and a 'mass listening programme', just won't cut the mustard.
And your offer is…?

Rainey RFHC 1st XI 1
Parkgate 2
RAINEY 1st XI were at home on Friday night for their first league match of 2012 against a strong Parkgate side.
From the pass back Parkgate started the stronger of the two teams, Rainey made a push forward about 10mins into the game but couldn't find the back of the net giving Parkgate the opportunity to steal the ball and send it back up the fast Meadowbank pitch, their forwards picked the loose ball up, went wide and round the back of Rainey's defence, Rebecca Allen came off her line to intercept the forward, unfortunately she lost out with Parkgate's forward finding the back board to open the scoring.
This early slip perked up the Rainey side whose game play got stronger throughout the half with some super runs from Megan Mulholland,
Rachel Clarke who toyed with the Parkgate defence; late in the first half following another surge forward Clare Mulholland found the back of the net to even the score line just before the half time whistle.
The second half started as it finished with Rainey dominating the Parkgate half putting both their defence and goalie under relentless pressure, with numerous shots at goal from Clare & Megan Mulholland, Nicole Heaney, Rachel Clarke & Zara Bell, although under this immense pressure Parkgate's defence and keeper held their nerve and denied Rainey that elusive goal.
Parkgate then made a late push forward following a lapse in the Rainey game and again found the back of the net. A disappointing result for Rainey as Parkgate emerged victors from what can only be described as a one sided affair with Rainey being the dominant team.
Player of the match; Megan Mulholland
The committee and players of Rainey Hockey Club would also like to thank everyone who bought raffle tickets, and attended their recent Christmas fund raiser, this was much appreciated.
The winners of the draw were; 1st Kathryn Stewart, 2nd Jack Gregg, 3rd Wendy Allen.
Rainey RFHC 2nd XI 3
Civil Service 0
RAINEY 2nd XI played Civil Service at home this week for their first match of the New Year.
The Civil Service side are the only team to have beaten Rainey 2nd XI so far this season so the pressure was on to win this one. Rainey started strong and determined with the midfield working hard to push the ball up the pitch. Not long into the first half centre midfielder Ciara McNally took a quick free hit into the circle and sent the ball straight to centre forward Christine McClure who thumped it into the back of the net.
Shortly after the same happened again with Ciara McNally's quick pass finding Christine McClure's stick in front of the goals and the Rainey side found themselves 2-0 up at half time. The defence worked hard throughout to stop any Civil Service attacks, particularly the right side who prevented the threatening left wing from getting any chances. A few minutes into the second half saw Barbara Allen take on a couple of Civil Service defenders with her usual fast speed and send the ball into the net. Throughout the remainder of the second half Rainey pressurised the opposition with a few more shots on goals whilst the defence worked hard to maintain a clean sheet.
Player of the Match - Barbara Allen.

It was a great day for Roberta Williams fans when Sierra announced that they were relaunching her flagship adventure game series, King's Quest. As you all know, I'm a big fan of the classic King's Quest games, which I reviewed here and here, and I was excited to return to the world of Daventry. But does the new King's Quest recapture the magic of the original series, or is it just another disappointing reboot? Let's find out.
The new King's Quest is very much a modern adventure game in the model pioneered by Telltale Games: It's divided into five bite-sized chapters and the gameplay is a mix of point-and-click exploration, dialogue trees, and a few quick-time events. If you're a fan of Tales from the Borderlands or The Wolf Among Us, you'll feel right at home here.
In this series, an ailing King Graham is recounting his adventures to his granddaughter Gwendolyn. This clever framing device explains a lot of adventure-game logic. If the characters are silly caricatures and the puzzle solutions implausibly far-fetched, that's because they're being recounted by an exaggerating storyteller. When you die, Graham simply says "That's not what happened" and moves on. If you try to use an item in the wrong place, the characters will dismiss the attempt as not seriously meant. I enjoyed the framing story, which has a more realistic tone ends up as an emotionally resonant exploration of the end of a long life.
The main conceit of the game is that Graham must choose one of three paths as a ruler, embodied by three NPC villagers: Strength, wisdom, and compassion. All can win the game, but in drastically different ways, and Gwendolyn changes her behavior based on what Graham has modeled for her. It's an intriguing mechanic that makes your choices feel meaningful and lends the first chapter in particular a replayability that the original games lacked. But these options taper off as the series progresses. This makes logical sense because Graham is becoming more set in his chosen path, but the result is that later chapters feel progressively more linear and I had the ongoing impression that I was making bad choices that lost friends and left Graham alienated.
The puzzles are extremely easy. I was never seriously stuck, whereas the original series had me constantly scrambling for a walkthrough. But this isn't really a flaw. While old-school adventure games treated extreme difficulty as a virtue, the fact is that it was an extremely frustrating experience for most of us. Easy puzzles make for a relaxing experience that a wider range of players can enjoy, and they allow the game to establish a narrative flow that doesn't grind to a halt because it took you a week to figure out that Rumpelstiltskin's name backwards is Ifnkovhgroghprm. (I challenge you to figure out why without Googling.)
Daventry still mostly looks like generic medieval Europe, but with a few refreshing touches of weirdness, like a cave full of stolen mattresses and guinea pig creatures instead of horses. And there's plenty for long-time fans to appreciate: Fairy tale elements, many homages to the original games, and of course, bad puns.
The weakest point of the series is the graphics. The attempt to create a Borderlands-like cartoon aesthetic isn't entirely successful. Sometimes it just looks weird. The animation, especially of background animals, is lacking, and there are render errors like Graham's cape passing through his body that I just don't expect to see in a modern game. The number of people in full-head masks or helmets left me wondering if they didn't have the animation budget for more faces. The sound design and voice acting are great, though.
Chapter 1: A Knight to Remember
In the game's first installment, a naive young Graham arrives at Daventry with hopes of winning a competition for a place on the king's court. He must face off against several entertainingly silly competitors: a fast-talking narcissist, a gentle giant with a squirrel sidekick, a stoic foreigner who doesn't speak English, and a diminutive trickster voiced by Wallace Shawn.
This is the lightest and fluffiest chapter, most similar in tone to King's Quest VII. Fans of the earlier games may be turned off by the sometimes forced humor and exaggerated characters (the merchant is especially grating). But it's a lot of fun. Even the most one-note characters are mostly likeable. Graham himself is a wimpy, overenthusiastic dweeb, a refreshing change from the generic hero of the original games. It's also the longest and most expansive chapter, with a big map, lots of characters, and an abundance of player choice. Be sure to explore around and get your Wedzel Wolf patch.
Two parts of this chapter tripped me up. First, if you fail any of the events in the competition, NPCs will intervene to give you another chance. This makes it feel like everyone else is fixing the competition in your favor and cheapens your eventual victory; when the last competitor refuses to accept defeat and demands a rematch, it's hard not to notice that that's what you've been doing all along. Second, there's a character death followed by Graham predictably wanting to quit the competition and needing to be talked back into it, all of which feels cheap and unearned. The result is that this chapter doesn't quite feel committed to its own light tone.
I enjoyed this chapter on the first play-through and would happily dive back in to see what happens if I take a different route.
Chapter 2: Rubble Without a Cause
Graham is king now, and when he and the townspeople get captured by goblins, he must escape. That's the whole conceit of this short chapter.
And oh boy, is this one a tonal mess. One minute the piggyback-riding guards Kyle and Larry are declaring it Opposite Day. The next minute you're forced to choose whether to save a sick pregnant woman or an adorable guinea pig unicorn. Aside from the emotional whiplash, it's hard to invest because the characters barely had any development to begin with, hence the need to rely on cuteness or pregnancy in a bid for sympathy.
Most of the elements that worked well in the first chapter aren't nearly so effective here. Since all the characters seem ready to kill a few goblins to escape, the bravery/wisdom/compassion trifecta feels like a superficial choice between potions, weapons, and food. While the choices in the first game felt like a fun exploration, these felt like frustrating trial and error and left me constantly convinced that I was making the wrong choices. The game makes it clear that you can't save everyone, but since it's nonobvious how many people you can save, I spent a lot of time doing arithmetic in an attempt to figure out if there was a better option.
I liked the multilevel layout of the goblins' cave, which is much easier to navigate than the sprawling, confusing layouts of a lot of video game dungeons. But the graphics are dark and murky and often venture into "What am I looking at?" territory. There are some nice moments, like a climax that revolves around storytelling rather than action, but overall, this chapter was a slog.
Did I mention that whoever you don't save will guilt trip you about it for the rest of the series?
Chapter 3: Once Upon a Climb
While the first two chapters create entirely new events in Graham's life, this is the first chapter that rewrites the events of one of the original games. Thankfully, it's the weakest game in the series, King's Quest II. In this chapter, when Graham climbs the tower to save the princess, he instead finds two princesses: the intellectual, sporty Vee and the romantic, artistic Neece. As they work out a way to escape, he must also decide which princess to marry.
This premise has the potential to feel creepy, like Graham is picking a girl off a menu, but in practice, it's well-executed and feels quite natural. The two princesses have distinctive personalities and interests, and over the course of the game you spend a lot of time getting to know them and doing things together, offering many opportunities for in-game choices. There's no specific moment when you pick; whichever girl you spend more time with and share more common interests with will eventually become interested in you and reveal their full name to be Valanice, Graham's wife in the original series.
Here King's Quest finally hit the tone I wanted, fun without being goofy and emotionally solid without being a downer. I liked both princesses as characters. The villain gets treated with sympathy. The plot has a nice moral about self-love, and it builds to a fun, action-packed climax with a Frozen-esque ending. The only part where I wasn't on board was an odd, dull early scene where a lonely Graham has a banquet by himself, which didn't seem to add much.
This fun, immersive chapter was the high point of the series for me.
Chapter 4: Snow Place Like Home
This chapter opens with Graham and Valanice's son Alexander being kidnapped, the backstory of King's Quest III. When Alexander escapes and returns home 18 years later, Graham arranges a family vacation to get to know his son better, only for the whole family to get trapped in a puzzle-filled ice palace operated by an enigmatic sphinx. Graham and Alexander must work together to escape, but first Graham must accept that his son isn't the person Graham has been imagining all these years.
King's Quest III leaves the beginning of this chapter with a distinct lack of elbow room. While the kidnapping scene is effective, it loses all its punch by skipping straight to Alexander's eventual return. Players who haven't played King's Quest III will quite justifiably feel like they've skipped a story, and probably a more interesting one. Additionally, the attempts to weave together both the ongoing storyline of the series and the plots of the original games lead to convoluted storytelling, including a character who changes form no fewer than five times.
Compared to the earlier chapters, this is an extremely linear puzzler that doesn't involve almost any open exploration or player choice. The puzzles are fun, but as the central focus, presented as deliberately designed challenges, their easiness becomes a problem. The entire game feels like the first warm-up stages of a more difficult puzzler like Portal, giving you a few puzzles of one type and then moving on to something different before providing you with a real challenge.
The visuals and characters flesh out this chapter and make up for its shortcomings. Alexander is a sullen teenager who realistically doesn't immediately mesh with the family he's never known, and Graham's unsuccessful attempts to connect with him provide emotional underpinning. The sphinx is the only truly arresting visual design in the series. It provides a GLaDOS-like running commentary of your progress and served as a more dangerous-seeming villain than we've seen previously.
Overall, the puzzles and the likability of the characters made me enjoy this chapter, but your opinion may vary depending on how you feel about puzzle games.
Chapter 5: The Good Knight
In this chapter, as Graham's condition deteriorates, his memory becomes disjointed and he struggles to recount his last story. He must allow someone else to take up his mantle in order for the adventure to continue.
I had mixed feelings while playing this short chapter. On a technical level, it's clever and often spectacular. Graham's memory lapses become a storytelling device, changing the details of a scene to allow you to proceed. Blank patches and abrupt changes give the chapter the surreal feeling. At one point, the game lapses momentarily into the visual style of the original King's Quest games. Throughout it all, it builds thematically to an emotional and satisfying ending.
On the other hand, odd storytelling choices kept me from investing fully. Graham's last adventure is supposed to feel disjointed, but it also feels arbitrary: He literally just walks out the door in search of an adventure. What he does encounter—a burned-out town empty of inhabitants—presents a glum picture that contradicts the later assertion that Daventry prospered under him. A bizarre sequence where he embellishes his earlier stories with nonsense details while Gwendolyn begs him to stop, combined with the eventual resolution, gives the impression that it doesn't matter whether the stories were true or not, which I don't think was meant to be the game's message.
I had a hard time connecting with this chapter, especially at the beginning, but it carried the characters to such a strong conclusion that it left me with a positive feeling about the series overall.
I have to admit that King's Quest is a less ambitious achievement than some of the other games in the genre. It's not working with as rich a source material as Borderlands or Back to the Future, and it doesn't have a lot of noteworthy mechanics or eye-catching visuals. It's very much a back-to-the-fundamentals game that will appeal to longtime adventure game fans who will appreciate its old-school feel, silly humor, and many homages. But the likeable characters, resonant themes, and enjoyable, straightforward gameplay also make it a great chance for non-gamers to get their feet wet. Check it out and remember to always seek adventure.

Help! Need free solution to remove spyware!
Sorry I don't know where I should have posted this but I'm kind of running low on time. Well just a little bit ago my computer detected that I had spyware. I'm pretty sure I didn't download anything unsafe but that's not the point. I tried searching but I couldn't find anything so is there any free program that doesn't just search for it but destroys all spyware too? My mom will kill me whether it is my fault or not.

Well thanks but it's too late for the computer. It could be fixed but I know that my parents don't want to bring it in again so my dad's using SB--S&D (which I forgot we had) And I know I was careful not to download anything from an unofficial site but I think what happened was I accidently visited some weird site (no not one of those "eye candy sites" I'm no perv...) and hell broke loose from there.
