Welcome to Day 6 of the ongoing series of freeware games.

Today's offering is a somewhat novel idea: an episodic puzzle/platforming game that you play in a browser. Interesting enough, but taking control of two separate characters and splitting them up to solve increasingly intricate puzzles makes this the best thing since The Lost Vikings.

http://www.platformthegame.com/

The menu choices on the opening page are pretty much self-explanatory, so you shouldn't have any trouble navigating the site.

So, what are you still doing here? Go already!! :-)

Hi Bluhoteyes,

Thanks for your query. On the day of the sleep study I slept like a log and had no episodes of apnia to my knowledge. I decided to purchase a pulse oxometer so that I could measure my oxygen saturations over a longer period. My wife took some measurements a couple of days after the sleep study and my saturations were down to a dangerous 82%

I've still to see the consultatant in the 1st Feb. I didn't realize you were having similar problems, or maybe I'd just forgotten, because since this has been happening my memory is getting even worse. I struggle for words to use when writing my reviews now, which is getting rather scary.

sorry about the off topic post

Nope you didn't miss anything didn't post anything on the site for all to see but since you had the same thing going on figured i would let you in on it isn't tha uncommon from what i have heard. My doc even informed me that having sleep apnea can cause depression. Do you find you are sleepy all the time even when you wake up? Also it takes them a week or so to get the results back of the sleep study so i am sure on your appt. the 1st is when they will give you the results. Did they hook you up to a machine that pushed air in your face with some pressure? If not look forward to another sleep study or at least that is how they do it here in Ohio :)

Hi Bluhoteyes, no I haven't had CPAP yet, though I've tried it several years ago as I worked as an Intensive Care nurse for a while and tried it out so that I could appreciate how a patient felt having to use it. I wake up always feeling like death, but that's partly to do with the withdrawal from the opiates. Though I never feel fully refreshed. Thanks for saring your problems. (I think I open myself up too much sometimes, but being coped up here virtually 24/7 - 265 days of the year is a little wearing. I gave up IC working because of the frequent deaths. I got too involved with all my patients and their families, so when they died it was often heart rending. (It brings a tear to my eyes just thinking about it) Though there were also the positives; seeing someone who was not expected to live, survive and recover. I even looked after the New Zealand rugy player that later went on to act in action movies. 'The Rock' though I've forgot his real name now. He was a really nice guy.

wow i forget his name too but he seems like a nice guy. I am also a nurse and worked in the nursing home where a lot of death happens on a freq. basis and i know exactly what you mean. After loosing a few ppl in 05 it got to the point i could no longer do my job as a nurse should i would get to emotional with every death and as a nurse you know you can't do that :( so moving on to a different career very much thinking i am going to go into teaching i have always loved teaching so we will see:) Now over to your free games i am stuck on last scenario i can't seem to find the red orb that i so much need:) lol

Teaching can be as rewarding as nursing and without the bad times added to it; though all that preperation you have to do is bad enough, lol. I'd just moved back into teaching from nursing (working at an ophthalmic hospital in Manchester England), when my accident happened. I taught/lectured in health and social cae, though I was educated and trained as a biologist originally, maunly ecological stuff, but I'd always enjoyed my undergraduate human biology.

What would you teach if you go into teaching?

Rabbit.. I do think all the time you spend playing games and writing reviews has something to do with your memory? They take all our concentration so who has time to think of anything else? Actually from all the details you put in your reviews, I'd say you have a very good memory!! You must keep notes, I do! *smile

By the way, to quote you: "being coped up here virtually 24/7 - 265 days of the year is a little wearing." I thought we had 365 days in a year? Sowwy, just pulling your rabbit ears!!

Anyone know what's happened to Freewarefan? Haven't seen him/her posting since day 8?

Well first off i am going to teach in public school system seriously thinking of going in special ed for troubled and disabled children and if i have to pick age specific i plan on going for the middle aged kids like 4th to 8th graders as here in ohio it isn't just a teaching degree you have to specialize now. I did teach for a nursing school here but when they had a huge pay raise i was low man on the totem pole and lost my part time position with them till someone decides to quit :( the other nursing school that is close i wouldn't work for too much turn around and not a very good % rate on student success on passing the boards . Now for copmom i have to say you are observant didn't even catch that stephen had only 265 :) lol Also you are right he does have a great memory IMO and is very gifted in working things correctly:) sorry about your accident but need to ask are you fully disabled or is it temporary? Sure hope it is the later:) anyhow need to head my happy butt to bed so cya all later:) pssssst i am still playing last scenario and have gotten pretty far now i hope i can beat it

Hey copmom, I told you I had a bad memory. Belive it or not, I used to teach math, though it wasn't my primary subject/s, lol I thought it looked wrong when I wrote it,. hehe

With regards to my reviews, being a scientist by training I'm just systematic. Anyone with a little time could do exactly the same or better than myself. Thankfully I enjoy writing them, and as I've said previously in another thread, writing them does help keep my brain ticking over. I've been moving over to more problem solving puzzles of late rather than the mindless ones such as Alien Shooter, Jet's and Guns and other of those genres (though I still love them) and my favorite genre the Arkanoids. I've even put aside (almost) the first person shooters that I've been playing religiously for several years now, for a more mind stimulating real time strategy game, and have just ordered a few more up to date rts games to help. I'm even thinking of getting some of those Nintendo DS brain training games, but I'm not sure which to go for as I've been told some are better than others, but I can't remember which is which, lol.

I wish I could write reviews like Merril does (though we've not seen her around for some time)i.e. with a little more pizzazz and prose to make it sound more interesting because I do think my reviews are rather dry. Which is partly to do with the systematic way I write them, but also because I don't give myself time to add the prose as I think it's more important to get them posted as early as possible so that the community can read a little more about them :)

I was actually hoping Lockett would take over the reins for a while as his reviews are getting really good. I was surprised to discover that he is only 14 years old;(which makes me feel a little bad about the way I admonished him on these forums over some stuff he'd said, which he later apologized for). so that I could catch up on some other stuff that's been pending for ages such as other larger scale reviews and the 100's of hours of film I've recorded since my accident, but never seem to get around to watching - when the RAM discs I use are full I just buy another pack of 10, lol. And visiting other sites. I've been kicked out of my job as a moderator on one map and modding site because all my spare time that was devoted to that site has been grabbed by this one, lol. Still, I love this site as it's opened my eyes to a whole load of applications I never knew I needed as well as stop my narrow minded persuit of only playing arcade games such as arkanoids and spending an inordinate time on my favorite fps games the battlefield series. (I've only played it a couple of times this year so far and then that was to test a new mod that's being released this weekend.

Hi Bluhoteyes, if I go for some major surgery, theres a change the problems I have now may be resolved. If I do nothing there's no way. The trouble with the surgery is that theres a very high chance (around 20% of coming out a paraplegic, because the area where the main damage has occured (burst fractures of T11 and T12)is very close to a small artery that supplies blood to the spinal cord - I wont go into details other than to say I'm looking into finding a world renowned spinal surgeon as the ones around where I live have no noteriety and success rates are much lower.

By the way, good look in yout teaching. Now that's a satisfying career. :)

'scuze the waffle - it's that time of day, lol.

Sorry i haven't been around the past few days but last scenario has me wanting to play it more and more that game is very addicting ty ty ty for giving me that link i think the last time i was addicted so much to a rpg is quite a few years ago :) I can't do the full 3D as it makes me dizzy:) lol I Hope you find a excellent spinal surgeon and do check all their success rates as that is the only way to know and make sure they have done surgeries of the type you are needing cause if you get a excellent spinal surgeon that has only done say cervical breaks he will not be excellent in thoraic which is where you are needing think i would go with one that has done that area and not just spinal in general. Say a prayer and ask for guidance i know that always seems to have worked for me:) Keep me up to date i am still a nurse at heart and will always love the field but just can't take the administration any longer. Teaching is something that has always been in my heart and know in the end i will be happy but wondering if i'm not too old to persue that area will just have to ask around to find out:)

Hi Bluhoteyes, how’s the pursuit of your teaching career coming? I hope it goes well. I saw a good spinal surgeon last week and was told the risks far outweigh the benefits in my case. The spine itself has stabilized with a kyphosis of nearly 40 degrees, which I wouldn't call stable, but he's the expert. I will be looking to see other specialists before I consign myself to a life of being significantly shorter than I was and in constant pain. I'm sure the medics will come up with something over the coming decades.

Well i am going to start in the fall on teaching :) Can't wait . Sorry to hear what that doc had to say and that doesn't sound stable to me either. If you were here in the states i could recommend a few surgeons that i would trust :) As for me i was told this week that i have arthritis behind my knee is why i have the crunching and creaking every time i bend my knee esp. when i go up and down stairs , but they did a breathing test on me also and they say i am normal so no asthma for me which i knew i didn't have :) Yes i have a bad habit of cigarettes which i have been trying to get rid of close to a year now. What is the health care like over there? OH one thing i didn't mention that ortho doc decided to give me a try on a cortisone shot in one knee to see if it helped any and i can honestly i haven't had any pain in the right knee even going up and down stairs i did it several times just to test it:) Lol
