For no reason in particular, here is a collage of a few weeks worth of clues from various free escape games.

(I was trying to figure out what was written on this page that appears everywhere in Far Cry 3, and as I was going through it, it hit me that I've heard this gruesome story before. It's a story from Paddy Ashdown that was in the book How to Manage Your Mother.)

(And I know this, because years ago when I played Homefront, I found the same filler text used on a vehicle in there. Sadly the book isn't online anymore, so I can't find the full story.)

Why does everyone want me to get them panties?

Christmas has been canceled. apparently you told Santa you've been nice this year. He has died from laughing.

The text in this newspaper appears to be from an article about the shortage of crematoriums in Japan from around 2008.

Passenger Hah! Being a prosecutor doesn't make you incapable of murder, buddy!

(Especially not prosecutors from Edgeworth's district.)

(The parser loves it.)

(You have one move, and many, many different endings.)

Late Thursday night. You've had a hard day and the last thing you need is this: shopping. Luckily the place is pretty empty and you're progressing rapidly.

On to the next aisle.

Interesting… fresh Gnocchi--you haven't had any of that since… Rome.

The aisle stretches to the north, and back to the south. The shelves on either side of you block your view of the rest of the supermarket, with only the brightly coloured aisle markers visible.

You have stopped your trolley next to the pasta section, bright plastic bags full of pale skin-toned shapes.

There is a brunette woman a few metres ahead, filling her trolley with sauces.

eat pasta

The pasta is a seething mass of off-white food. You tear at the plastic bags until the curls and tubes and twists and shells cascade onto the floor and into your hands. Scooping up a collection of different shapes you cram the pasta into your mouth. It is dry, it is hard. That's what your body is saying. But you learnt something a while back--that your body (your eyes, your hands, your heart) isn't always right. No, you've learnt to listen to your mind. And your mind says: soft, warm, slightly salty pasta. Tangy sauce. What a feast!

They spoil your fun, they take you away--or so your body says. Your mind knows better; you're still in Rome eating pasta, drinking wine--everything is fine. ----------

Another story done. But then… ---------------------------------------------------
