I've played my fair share of puzzle games, where my ego would inflate every time my sister asked for help. I've done my part for society with years of brain training in some form. My patience is tested daily with my three dogs that make me wonder if having kids would have been easier. Thinking I could take on the world with my very limited knowledge of horror games, flags, and random trivia, I wiped the dust off my DS and decided to challenge myself to a game of Nintendo's Big Brain Academy (2006).
I'd just completed Luto, helped my sister play through Dead Take, and came off the back of Post Trauma and KARMA: The Dark World. I was feeling pretty good about my puzzle-solving abilities. See, the thing about Big Brain Academy is there's no way to cheat the test. I had no one to blame for my score but myself. The only indication I had on how I could possibly do was seeing my sister's score from who knows when, which read C+. I thought, "Brilliant, here's something I can add to my list of things I'm better than her at" (I'm not that competitive, I swear). Oh, how wrong I was.
