    Open ACME Retro

    The flight back was relatively uneventful and as soon as the team landed they began their assigned tasks. Ivy was in charge of the section she set up, as were the other Junior Detectives. Unlike the morning, there was less time for jokes and rude gestures at the camera by Lee Jordan. It didn't...

    (Just wanted to say that was an excellent poem, @Invader!) Ivy is also happy to have a new pair of boxing gloves. (Thanks @Joe Kerr)

    Open Valentine's Day 2015

    @Nevon Blair's desk was nearly dominated by a large cardboard box. It seems to be a special delivery from an unknown secret admirer. The note reads, "For the man who is always looking out for others, and always seeing the best in life. You deserve happiness every single day. Your secret...

    It seemed that everyone was in agreement that they would make a stop at the training ground and then head onward to El Guero Canelo in search of clues. Ivy took one last look at the crime scene before carefully packing up all the evidence bags. She was one of the last people out of the...

    The turn of the Maelstrom

    Well written. Not too many people read into Malestrom, you might be on to something by looking into his character this way.

    Forget Me Not

    This is my favorite story from you to date, even if it's quite a sad one. Very well written.

    It was an interesting situation. All hands seem to be on deck when Zack noticed the trap, the quiet Eugene Grovington brought out something that seemed like a custom radar device, it proved useful in helping them scan the area for unwanted guests. Nace Bilby did the bulk of the live disarming...

    ACME had purchased about a dozen custom six-seater AGUSTA A109Es late last year, and it was these same helicopters there were going to take them from the training grounds to the crime scene. One was to be flown by Eugene Grovington, and the other by herself. As Ivy started the systems check...

    Q & A Childhood Memories

    I was going to talk about that time it took an entire stick of butter to dislodge Zack's head from the stairway banister but I guess he beat me to the punch. My memory has to do with one of the hikes I used to go on with my dad. One of my favorite things to do was climb the stones which shot...

    Good work, Zack. (Now I'm going to have to waste so much time going through these.)

    There was a time when Ivy's aversion to firearms would have counted as a phobia. But the very definition of phobias were irrational fears. Her woes were not unfounded. The pistol training went by quickly enough, practice and repetition allowed her to make steady shots. They also had ear...

    Designing games for youth?

    I thought the Carmen games easily hit the target age due to content alone which tied right in with a child's level of reading, geography or math. It's why they were used so widely in schools. I don't see anything that has the same kind of research or ability to pull children in these days, that...

    Q & A New Year Resolutions!

    I'm going to save the kitchen from scorch marks and forget even attempting to improve my cooking skills. This year's resolution: spend more time with those who matter.

    Hey @Tenchi Masaki btw I did save my password after my last bout of computer trouble. This time however I saved the wrong password so. As for Jon Eckart, I DO use Chrome browser the problem is when we I get on another computer the passwords aren't stored. That's my current problem. So I'm either gonna make a new account or figure something out 'cause I'm not bothering boss man :D :D

If it goes bad way, we're planning for what to send down to my place (the paintings and the movie collection and stuff, not to mention the rest of the records). They have to wait up to 10 days to see what the "appeal officer" says... but they might have something being that they were never caught smoking, it was just that there was smoke smelled near their door ))

Moving stuff in is gonna be a struggle (wall outside main door is like a 60-degree angle)... big desk (mine), big entertainment center (the folks), "things" are gonna be weird (no privacy). The folks want it (gas stove in an apartment, claw-foot bathtub)... not all of our stuff comes apart nicely))
