And the sudden sombreness in his expression in the first ageing pic.

I thought “Awesome! In your face, Jason Rohrer!” I know having a puzzle-solving companion would totally undermine Braid – all the best puzzles are the ones I would have given up on if I had the option.

But I’d skipped the intro para, so I thought this was a whole new chapter of the game where Bloopi is the defining mechanic, and maybe, like, you can rewind as much as you like, but he’s rewind-immune and ages in real-time, so suddenly you don’t have all the time in the world and there’s an irreversible consequence to taking too long over a puzzle, or rewinding too much.

I’d also love it if there was a world where Tim (the Braid hero, not the PC Gamer deputy editor I sent the link to) starts to experience side-effects from time-manipulation, like the guys do in Primer. Nosebleeds, shitty handwriting.

PS. Holy shit, David Hellman is here!

So what were you thinking when you thought it was real?

Maybe the opening paragraph should have been less suspicious…

Thanks for the link.

I once had a friend like Bloopi but he tried to eat me. I had to-to… put him down.
