No, it was probably just because it's the only card that's not easy to find... so it's pretty likely that the one I was missing was the one that was insanely difficult to locate.

And WTF. These cards make no sence. Freakin' Chinese...

I call to mind something the ancestors once said, a long time ago. The road to enlightenment, grasshopper, is a long and winding road.

*a spotlight lights up revealing a piano at my fingertips*

*starts playing*

The long and winding road,
that leads to your door,
will never disappear,
I've seen that road before,
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door...

It's the one you got stuck on. And spent 30 minutes trying to find.

Oh don't look into that. You'll find it as informative as playing Black Sabbath records backwards. What you do need to do is start paying more attention to that corpse. It's not like he's going to die of overexposure or anything, is he now?

Hush you! And it was 26 minutes mind you!

*strangles the corpse and shakes it* NUMBER! What's the freakin' combo to this thing?! TELLL MEEEEEE!! *watches it's head fall off*

Er....

*casually looks around and puts it back on* ^_^;

*sits down with the green paper dice, and wishes she could fold it, so she could at least have something to play with while she looks at this chinese nonsence*

Read the diary to start off with, but you'll find getting the lock undone is pretty unsatisfactory. You can't even drag the skeleton around

From the sounds of it there's other stuff that still needs to be done

Been there, done that. Got the CD. The guy is a loser, yeah, we know. CD is shiny. Whee! I like how the guy mentions the bicycle lock a few times, but leaves out the part of what the combination is....

...What I don't understand is why you cant just slide it off the feet. I mean seriously. It's not like he's that fat anymore.... -_-

Mr.Bob · Post by **Mr.Bob** » Tue May 04, 2004 5:06 am

The combo isn't that hard. There's only one mention in the entire game of anything that may contain a number.

KittyKatBlack · Post by **KittyKatBlack** » Tue May 04, 2004 5:09 am

Does this number happen to be in chinese? I have no idea what relationship the symbols have to the piece of paper or what order to put them in on the green dice thing. Other than that I see no numbers anywhere, except the dates in the diary.

Don't burn your pretty fur about it. The answer will come.

KittyKatBlack · Post by **KittyKatBlack** » Tue May 04, 2004 5:15 am

I'm sure it will once I can figure out this combination....

[Edit]
Ok, I broke down and looked up a walkthrough. Apparently you HAVE to since the combination changes depending on a variable outside the game. A variable which they don't give you any clues to what so ever inside the game. That was pretty lame.

I'll burn your pretty fur unless I get some answers! TALK!

Umm.. the code is the girls birthday. Cause you know... he's obsessed.

That's a pretty constant variable isn't it?

Maybe he's just thoughtful. Some girls appreciate that.

Yeah, but the birthday changes depending on the date you're playing the game. I was reading other walkthroughs and they all posted the wrong day because they did it way earlier.

I found all the cards, it was the freaking key that got me stuck >:(

The code is the date 5 days before the day you're playing it. They don't mention that anywhere in the game.

Mr.Bob · Post by **Mr.Bob** » Wed May 05, 2004 3:20 am

In his diary he writes that his girlfriend's birthday is the day after tomorrow.

So you take the date of the entry and add 2.

KittyKatBlack · Post by **KittyKatBlack** » Wed May 05, 2004 3:24 am

To get technical, the type of lock he bought are the type that generally come with a pre-set combination. The mere fact that he could set it to anything he wanted didn't even cross my mind because I've owned locks like that before. They're not generally customizable IRL so I figured the code would be written down somewhere and not an important date to him, since realisticly, the chances of that happening would be extremely slim...

...but that's what I get for being so literal and technical about things.
