I can remember, although I'd had some drinks, sitting alone in my friend’s room on a single bed, the mattress overly springy and with a coarse plastic coating, attempting to stream a song over our dorm’s spotty Internet connection. Use the keyboard to move Fireboy and Watergirl through the maze and collect all the diamonds on their way to the exits. The A,W,D keys move Watergirl and the arrow keys move Fireboy.With twice as many characters to control, this means that twice as many people can play at once, so there is no more fighting over taking turns amongst two friends.

How fortunate we are that Mordue chose to salvage and publish the story of this part of Cave’s life which charts his development as a performer and creative artist and the wild and, lets-be-honest, low-level criminal excesses of his early adult life. It was a great journey the writer takes us on, with a high amount of detail on early influences, happenings, debauchery, losses and love. The relevant musical, artistic and literary context’s discussed are quite insightful. I hadn’t known a lot about him oddly or much about the Melbourne scene before reading this book but different things I had been told over the years all fit together now.

When you’re an adult, the people that you said that to when you were a teenager are still around, and you still have to interact with, and you have to figure out how to deal with that. And that’s permanent, and the rest of your life is going to be like “Hey I’m seething with anger and I just—Hi”. Both must survive. Each level is filled with hazardous traps. Only good teamwork will help them get through. They can't make it alone. If any of them dies, you will lose the game.
