I think you enter the Obelisk from the front, complete whatever the block puzzles in there, and then you should get to an elevator which will take you up to the tower? That might not be it, I can't really remember. I might be thinking of the tower where the Moire sisters are.

I believe wicker chairs are very important in modern society and Duck Tales has subliminal messages about setting curtains on fire. FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

On a side note, Dice definitely gets the award for starting topics that stray furthest from their origins. I'm wating for her "Facts about you" topic to stray into either a conversation about the importance of wicker chairs in a modern society or a deep debate about whether or not Duck Tales had subliminal messaging and encouraged kids to set fire to curtains.

You do realize that nobody in America has actually consumed aerosol cheese since the 90s right.
This is unimportant to me. It was such a big novelty, I had to try it.

- I'm married - I'm a dad - I'll be a dad again around January - I live with my wife, son, and our gay friend - I recently lost my job and looking for work sucks - I barely play video games anymore - I enjoy asian fusion cuisine - I am the most powerful and least known figure at RPGFan... FEAR ME!
This is awesome why do you live with a gay friend? They are the new hottest pet.

You could be right, @Kiem maybe my hatred of the character did make me enjoy the ending less that I could have. Though you must admit, the betrayal was predictable, even if the betrayal wasn't toward Jim Raynor himself, and was instead against Kerrigan, you KNEW something like that was going to happen, they took no effort to hide it.
It was hardly the best writing in the world. It could have been better. The "twist" was so...meh. I was just underwhelmed by the writing. While it was solid, there was very little character depth. Tosh and Dr. Ariel, they really got the short end of the stick. Maybe they will elaborate on them in the expansions, though I doubt it.
Whatever minor grievances I have with the campaign, they game itself is AWESOME and I know i'll be addicted to it for the next few months.

Today I got an AWESOME package in the mail. A couple of my American friends sent me my copies of the zine we write together, as well as, (after some begging) some cheese in a can! Cheese in a can has fascinated me for a loooooong time, since you see it a lot in American TV shows but can't actually buy it over here. (That I am aware of, I imagine there is a specialty store for American people living in the UK) So yeah, my friends sent me some (cause they are the most awesome girls, ever) and I immediately tried it. It got off to a rocky start as the first thing I noticed as the flavour was "American Flavor", now, I have no idea what Americans taste like, because cannibalism isn't on my list of things-to-do.  The second challage involved how to actually make the cheese come out. As the nozzle was something I was unfamiliar with and couldn't get to work. Apparently I have to squeeze down hard and inject the cheese into whatever I want. I find this most strange and alien. The final trial was how you are actually intended to EAT the cheese. I didn't know what to do, so I did the decidedly British thing of "When all else fails, put it on toast"

I tell people "IT" gave me my fear of clowns. However that is a lie.
It was really an episode of the Powerpuff Girls.
That androgynous devil character in the Powerpuff Girls? Stuff of nightmares. He wasn't scary in himself but that voice was creeeeeepy. Saw Valentine's Day today! Not utter crap... just a little long and formulaic. They tried squeezing in too many stories maybe. Julia Robert's and Bradley Cooper's respective relationships really got to me. Sweet. Nah, it wasn't "Him", he was awesome. Though I'm starting to think it wasn't a Powerpuff girls episode. I think it may have been something like Courage the Cowardly dog, or Cow and Chicken. Something Cartoon Network-ish. As a side note, the Chicken episode of Courage the cowardly dog made me scared to eat fried eggs. Apparently I was a very susceptible child. As a side note: From what I remember, the episode, from whatever it was from, involed a clown who bit people and they themselves turned into clowns or something. It's all very vague. To long ago.

1 million Internets to the localizers of this game in knowing how the world works. This is from their FAQ: But doesn't that mean I can just pirate your game? or But aren't you afraid of getting pirated into oblivion? Well, we'll say this: Recettear would be pirated regardless of whether we used copy protection or not. We're adults and we understand that our work will be stolen by someone who doesn't want to pay for it; that's how the Internet works in this day and age. Any prospective pirates who enjoy our work, however, must realize that we can only continue to produce localizations for games - and possibly help foster new projects on our own - if we make enough money to make a living at it.
If you like the game even a little bit, please purchase it. We respect our customers enough to not put any invasive DRM programs into Recettear - we hope the respect will be repaid in kind. I'm not saying I agree with pirating the game, but good that they know that they can't stop it happening and don't punish the people who actually DO pay anyway.

I'm afraid at sucking at the learning curve and being destroyed by koreans online
You will never be able to play Koreans. The game is region-locked, unfortunately. I really could go on a long diatribe against Blizzard/Activision regarding their treatment of the fan base for this game, but I don't think I could say anything that hasn't already been said.
