    Something terrible!

    Get this. I had to do a restore on my ipod touch. No biggy. I started to play RB2 and logged in to Plus to get all my scores back. It doesn't store the Veridean Room yet. Thank goodness most of them were easy. Just wanted to warn you guys.

    I'm guessing when the patch it next week to include it on the leaderboard that will take care of the problem. However, my wifi has been messed up on the ipod touch for a few months so I have to go to the room where the router is to be able to connect. My score was 258 and I had updated them on Plus, but my score now shows 261. My last 3 dolls I've gotten are not showing up. I have to redo 3 levels as soon as I figure out which ones the are. I'm curious why they don't show up. I'm very glad I didn't get the 2 in Dominoter the other day. Whew!

    Bill, I installed the latest update of RB2 on another device. When I logged on to plus+ I got all the scores including Viridian. I even lowered my score in Viridian on this device and my new score transfered to my iPhone. However, it took a few minutes and I had to restart the program a few times for it to work.

    I don't get it either. It still doesn't have them. I'm having to redo Twins 2, Geared Up and one on either WD or Big Wheel. And all the Veridian Room. I've done this several times without problems. I think I've figured it out. After I got my last 3 dolls I logged on to get the score recorded. Then the update came out, I didn't download it to the ipod. I downloaded it on the PC and then synched them. I haven't connected my ipod to the wifi since the last 3 dolls. It must have something to do with the update though I can't imagine why.

    UPDATE: When I look at the leaderboard it shows me at 258 but my game score on my ipod shows 260. It looks like I don't need to redo those levels for the leaderboard but for my game to look nice and neat I need to get them again.

    My third Domino in 2 attempt failed yesterday. Been a heartbreaker everytime, but I tell myself this builds character. Right? Right? Let's see, that's around 200** hours of waiting. Sick sick sick and going for #4 of course.

    **EDIT 200 hours not counting unknown hours for setup. Eek!!

    Bill -- on the miscreant machine -- you could try DELETING the application -- (just uncheck the option to load it to the device) ... then sync ..

    Then go back and reselect it "on" and resync -- will cause a total refresh (of the current version!) .. then login to plus+ .. should restore everything .. given some time (may have to exit and enter the game a few times) ?

    What's weird is it assigned me scores for all the levels. They were all correct except for Geared Up and one other. When it hasn't synced up with Plus it usually leaves them blank.

    Catapult in 1

    After all the excitement of the Viridian Room, I’m getting back to basics and wanted to ask for some advice on getting Catapult in 1. I’ve spent hours on a range of strategies, with no luck so far:

    1. Direct shot at the target, hoping a doll will burst through the doors
    2. Aim at the top hinge, in the hope that it’s as weak as the lower hinge and lets a doll through to hit target
    3. Bounce a doll off either the ball, or the big square block, so that it ricochets into the lower hinge and flicks up to hit target.

    Which approach (if any!) will ultimately work? I’ve been hunting for that elusive sweet spot, but haven’t got close yet.

    1 is a no go
    2 is you're best bet
    3 beats me
    4 ricochet off the ball it goes up and down and then the balls comes back on screen and knocks doll into target, ridiculous odds but I was close using this strategy until I went with number 2

    Thanks Frizzler. I did try strategy 4 for a while, but I thought the zone of super-gravity to the right of the ball would prevent this from working. I got the doll flicked back onto the screen once, but it was rapidly sucked down before it got anywhere helpful.

    Thanks!

    THanks all! I actually couldn't have done this without all your help -- Foxy, V-man, Bill-da-T-man, Twizzler .. errr. Frizzler .. and many more who have given me hints, hopes, etc. Again -- I don't expect this to last long (next update) -- but hell, even one day of greatness (15 minutes of fame I guess eh Andy W?) -- but really, it was a team effort by all -- I was just the lucky doll tosser who got it ..

    /Steve

    P.S. Actually, my wife just said it's really cuz I am more stubborn than any other person she knows when it comes to solving / doing a puzzle. :)

    It Happened Again

    A month or so ago I posted that the stalk snapped and hopped to the right and never fell. I have proof this time. It hopped to the right a little and the top leaned over to the left like we want it to, then it went to the right a little and then back up straight. I started taking pictures. I animated it. The stalk stayed up for the ten minutes it took to go back to the left and back to the start. It doesn't re-root itself because it will fall with one shot or one nudge. It's just balanced. If you miss the animate refresh your screen.

    Bill -- I have seen this very very rarely as well -- (well, once actually) -- it was the oddest thing .. thought I was dreaming .. but you're right.. even a little nudge will make it fall down .. but it never really helped getting the score down .. since it took 2 dolls (for me) to get enough speed to go over ..

    But it was very cool -- another X-files aspect of RG2 universe ..
