Played a bit of *Burnout 3: Takedown* yesterday. It looks awesome.

I also stopped playing *Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time* because I think I saved the game in a dead end. In the Observatory, I have practically nil energy left. But when jumping across the chasm you need a bit of energy to survive the fall. And I don’t have it. And there’s no water nearby.

Then again, here’s what it says in the Walkthrough:

NOTE: Many people have mailed me regarding this - they keep dying after jumping from the poles. Apparently you don’t know your basics well enough yet, all explained at the top of the document. Lazy, eh? After a high fall, hold Forward on the Analog Stick as soon as you reach the ground to roll, and no damage is taken while doing so. Read the basics again, chap!

Will do. Thanks, Eizaz Azhar. 😄

And it helped! A bit further on, however, Farah is supposed to slip into a crack and do her thing, but she did not! She just followed me arround. Huh? Have to try again. Maybe I didn’t pay proper respect and rushed on while she was talking.

And so it was. I successfully saved! 😄

Phew! That was close. Maybe I still get to finish my favorite game of the year...
