Grim Fandango

"This little light of miiiiiiiine.... "

[Rath Darkblade]

"Scare away sea monsters, yeah! I'm gonna let it shine!
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!"



At least you don't have the Smurf Song running through your head...

[Datadog]

I do now.

At least you don't have the "Ducktales" theme stuck in your head.

Or the worst one of all to get stuck in your head -- The Loco-Motion

I could write an essay about what are the worst songs to get in your head... but there's only one which we banned from our house (and any singing, mentioning of the title, or playing the song is to be punished with a week of washing up) is the Belgian 2008 Eurovision Song Contest. Can't even write the song name or it gets in my head.

Back on topic:
My biggest issue with the controls is the difference between Pick Up (+) and Use (Enter). The game mixes use of these throughout GF: except at one puzzle late in the game (Bone grinding). Of course it says so in the manual (though the puzzle is not specified), but by the time I got to that point I'd forgotten it already.

Not sure but I think the controls let you get stuck at that point: If you pick up the grinder before you put in the arm, you can't set it down anymore, and the controls don't allow you to combine inventory objects.

Absolute worst song to get stuck in your head - the Barney theme song.

Not sure if you've solved this issue, Bonny, but here's a spoiler: Put the arm in the grinder, and THEN pick it up.

Yeah I found that, eventually. It's a great game, though the end is a little gooey. Replaying it again now btw, now that I've seen Casablanca...
