Better or worse? YOU DECIDE! (The correct answer is "slightly worse," but I don't want to spoil it.)

Picross DS

I'm going to try something a little different today. It's not that big of a deal, I'm just going to try hosting these charts through Blogger instead of through Imageshack. What does this mean for you? Nothing.

Picross saw some interesting developments today. I made too many mistakes during Nonstop, finishing up in 66.69 seconds. If you turn it upside-down, it's 69.66 seconds, so I could have done worse. You know. If I was playing upside-down.

However, there was a marked improvement in the other games! 30.52 seconds in No X Marks (the lowest it's been in the past 3 days!), 48.01 seconds in Error Search, and 26.35 seconds in Memory--which, if you disregard the anomaly from the first day, is PRETTY GOOD.

This chart is PRETTY GOOD too.

Big Brain Academy

Oh, Big Brain Academy, is there anything you can't measure? What with your five categories of testing and all?

The Think category was well-represented by "Pathfinder," a game that requires you to draw a line. Yes, that's right. You know those old games you used to play in all those books of kids games, the ones for kids, where there was a thing at the top of a thing, and you had to draw another thing to get the thing at the top of the thing to the thing at the bottom of the thing? It's like that.

I liked the game in the Identify category, "Get in Shape," which shows you a silhouette, and then charges you with selecting the correct shapes to form it. It's PRETTY GOOD as well.

Compute and Memorize had games that I've explained before ("Coin-parison" and that one where you memorize stuff). Analyze had "CubeGame" (GET IT, LOL) which is pretty much a game where you count cubes.

All of this Academy-ing raised my brain's weight to a whopping 1143g, which is slightly higher than yesterday's! I again got a C+ grade, but I now have the brain of a museum curator!

More like museum CHARTator, am I right?

Planet Puzzle League

Disappointing today. 2979 points in Score Attack mode, and 2209 points in Lift Attack mode.

At least I got 124 points in Garbage Attack mode this time! That's 124 more than I got yesterday!

The following chart may be too extreme for younger viewers.

Brain Age

I know how you people think. You don't care about those other games! The Brain Age tests are the only reason you keep coming back. DON'T LIE TO ME.

Brain Age 1, Stroop test. I find it easier to get it to recognize "Blue" if you say everything in this low gravelly voice. Well, not like, super gravelly, but a low voice. IT'S ACTUALLY SORT OF SENSITIVE.

I also did Calc x20 and Connect Maze, but you already know what those are!

Brain age of 29. Woo! Getting back to normal!

Brain Age 2 was PRETTY G--um, PRETTY AWESOME today. I set three all-time Brain Age 2 records, which would be pretty impressive if I had been playing more than a week. The games were Rock, Paper, Scissors, Symbol Match, and Serial Subtraction.

Serial Subtraction shows you a number (like, for example, 63) and tells you to subtract another number (like, 7) over and over again (like, 63>56>49>42>35>28>21>14>7, except it usually doesn't pick numbers that can be divided so easy).

I ended up with a rockin' brain age of 28, which brings the Aver-Age up to 28.5! It's looking PRETTY ACCURATE now, right?!

Well, why don't you read the chart?!

Pac-Man

You're going to be sorely disappointed in me today. I made some terrible choices during Pac-Man, resulting in a Pac-Score of Pac-8990 Pac-Points. They kept cornering me! :(

A document of my shame:


Well, it looks like I'm going to have to work harder at brain training, Pac-Wise. I only play it once per day, so every time I play, it's like, Tron, or something, where I'll explode if the disc hits me.

Something like that.
