Comic Book Art, MED

Hi!

So, HeR recently released an image in their merchandise store. It is a picture of a cover of a comic book, I which I guess was written by Sonny Joon (picture below). I don't really know what the comic book is, really. But that's probably because I haven't played MED yet, which leads me to my next topic.
MED SHIPS NEXT WEEK! I get to play it NEXT WEEK! Yes! Did anyone else preorder? I think it is more than worth it to preorder.
1). It doesn't cost anything extra.
2). You get fun little extras in the game (Bonus Edition).
3). You get to play it earlier.
4). You have a 100% chance of getting your hands on the game ASAP.

So yeah. Check out my announcement below! (Pictures belongs to HeR Interactive) Maybe you could put my advice to good use...

MED Trailer

Hey!
So, HeR recently released the trailer for MED, but I'm sorry to say that the trailer actually lowered my excitement level for the game. Before, it was all like, "Sonny Joon! George! New Zealand! Aahh!" But now, it's more like, "Really? That's it?" I would think that the trailer for the 30th game would be a little more exciting. But, then again, none of us have played this game yet, so who knows? Maybe the game will be totally great, but the trailer did it no justice? Let me know what you thought about the trailer in the comments. Also, check out my YouTube channel, detectivedrew. When you search it , it will ask, "Did you mean detective drew?" Click no, and then my channel will show up in the results.

See ya!

Happy Friday!

Hey everybody!

Sorry about the technical difficulties with yesterdays post with the overlapping pictures and stuff. Oops.

Anyway, it's Friday! For some people, this is the last day of Spring Break (not counting the weekend). AKA, me. Anyway, to lead up to the release of MED, many people are playing games in a marathon fashion, which is where you play many games in a short period of time or in a specific order. I will provide one option for a marathon below, which is the Amateur Sleuth Marathon! (Shoutout to Little Jackalope!) If you don't want to play a marathon yourself/you don't have the games necessary to complete a marathon, you can tune in tomorrow (Saturday, March 29th) at 10:30 (I believe it's Pacific time) to arglefumph's channel on YouTube to watch him play The Phantom of Venice as part of his ND Mega Marathon. He is playing all the games in order, and he will end with The Shattered Medallion. He is over halfway through, but if you missed the previous games, it's okay. He uploads all of his videos to YouTube. Just search "Nancy Drew Mega Marathon ______" and fill in the blank with the title of the game you are looking for.

And, last but not least, there are some ND Madness matchups and updated bracket (as always) posted below.

Semper Ubi Sub Ubi!

P.S. I apologize for the horrible Latin joke...I know that it often annoys people who have studied Latin, but I was watching arglefumph play Secret of the Scarlet Hand.

Big Apology!

Hi everyone!

I am writing this extra post for today to apologize. I haven't posted anything in over two weeks, and have therefore left some of you in the dark on HeR's activities. For example, I have missed out on posting the majority of the ND Madness matchups (which are really tough!) and the updated brackets. I won't be posting any of the missed matchups, but I will post ones from this week, as well as the updated brackets. You can still vote on GTH vs ICE if you head on over to HeR's facebook page today! Some games won by a landslide, while other matchups were close! Maybe when ND Madness is over, I will just post the ones I missed so you guys can see them (if you didn't). Again, HUGE apology. I have another post for today, one with a lighter (MUCH lighter) mood, so scroll on down and check it out. Also, I recently created a YouTube channel. (Please please please like, subscribe, and comment with any tips on how I might improve!) My username is detectivedrew.(fitting, right?) I only have one video, but I am working on getting my next one uploaded. My iPad doesn't like listening to me when I tell it to upload, so bear with me. If you have any tips that might make uploding easier for me, please let me know!

Oh....My....Gosh.

Yes, that is how excited I am, because...because...

SONNY JOON IS IN MED! SONNY JOON IS IN MED! SONNNYYY JOOOON IS IIINNN MMMMEEEEDDDD!

Sorry, just had a little excitement meltdown there. Seriously though, I sat there hitting my thighs in excitement while staring at the cover art on HeR's Facebook page via my phone...and I was in a restaurant. Yeah. I am so inexplicably excited that I won't even continue trying to explain. I also have an additional post for today, so check it out! I also posted the COVER ART FOR MED below...and...and.........you get to see what Sonny Joon looks like. I hope your jaw just dropped to the ground.

GTH, ND Madness

Hi!

This is a brief post, mainly because HeR doesn't have any important news as of today. However, I am going to share my review of GTH for iPad.
I was impressed by this version of GTH. Even though I didn't particularly like GTH, I like this version mainly because I can play it anywhere I want. (Near someone else where I won't get too scared!) I think this is an aspect of the game that many people appreciate, but not necessarily for the same reason(s). For example, a globetrotting fan may want to play it on their flights. Or, a parent may give it to a child to occupy them on a long road trip. (Although, I wouldn't recommend this game to younger audiences.)
The gameplay is simple and is very easy to get used to. However, because of the spectacular 3-D graphics, (kudos to you, HeR Interactive!) my iPad was pushed over its limit, and every few minutes, it kicks me out of the game. However, I did some research, and learned that this problem can be solved by simply restarting my iPad from time to time.

On another note, HeR has been posting ND Madness matchups over the weekend (unbeknownst to me)! I have posted (hopefully I haven't missed any!) all of the weekend's matchups below, as well as the updated bracket. I was surprised by many of the results!
Keep it real!

ND Madness, Making Nancy Eat Stuff

Bonjour!
In many Nancy Drew games, there are restaraunts you can order from, or there are random snacks you can find. (Koko Kringles!) Although I love food, it is not making Nancy eat it that I enjoy the most. I just like seeing what things that you can order. In many games, the food actually teach you about the culture of that location. Some games like this are Curse of Blackmoor Manor and The Silent Spy. For example, in Curse of Blackmoor Manor, you get to practice Cockney by listening to Tommy's menu. In SPY, you have Deli-Shuss right outside your hotel, and you learn the Scottish names for food.
Also, there is a new ND Madness matchup today. That is posted below, along with the updated bracket.You may notice that the pictures are much smaller than they usually are. I am trying this to see if it will solve the techincal difficulties that I have been having lately. Click on the picture to see it larger.
Alez Bye Bye!
