Creation Issues from an Ageing Gamer

Since I seem to be coming down with flu this week I only managed to work on my new level last night - only to discover that my complicated helicopter landing sequence has been triggered and saved. Bugger it! Another hour later it works again, probably better than before so not too bad. Can't say I particularly enjoy re-doing parts of my level which were set in stone but had to....

Now as many people here we all try to push the thermo - my level is nearly complete but seeing as I have ...

I have OD'd on LBP this weekend. I sit here at work trying to get rid of a bad headache. As my missus said "serves u right for being in front of the tv for 14 hours"... Holy C rap - whilst she was tiling the hall floor I was trying to create some bad guys for my new level.

Well she is much better at tiling than me - still this game has become an obsession... having said that my new level looks really cool, my step sons were itching to have a play though which results in some excellent ...

It was a real shame as I only had a few minutes to play.

So we had a brief playthrough and in no time I had some great feedback and ideas to improve the level. At the moment its not much more than a "ride" with a couple of puzzles, ...

After some constructive critique from Nightwing's review (69% - not too bad as he only played 50% of the level due to getting stuck on a puzzle) I spent about an hour revamping my 1st level.

That's what is so amazing about LBP is that a creator can ...
