More Nancy Drew music I can play

I learned two new songs on my flute. Here they are:
The Haunted Carousel: Miles
Danger on Deception Island: Dirge

Please note: Miles is really hard! I just figured out all the notes yesterday, but I can't play the whole thing through very smoothly at all, and I have to go about 20 times slower than the actual song. I'm still working on it, and will get a video of it in the future, but it wont be for a long time!

You might not see Dirge for a while either, because even though it's easy and I can play it really well, I have a lot of other songs I already scheduled to be uploaded before that one.

My next video will either be Trail of the Twister: Prairie on my flute or Last Train to Blue moon Canyon: Camptown on my piano. It will probably be Camptown.

Nancy Drew Mobile Mysteries: Secret of Shadow Ranch

So I got the Nancy Drew game for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. I have an iPod touch, so I played it on that. I finished it last night. and it was pretty good! It was more of a book than a game, but still, it was fun. It was based off of the PC game Secret of Shadow Ranch, but it wasn't anything like the PC game. There were a lot of different plotlines in the different chapters, so basically, there were a lot of different mysteries to solve. And there were a lot of different culprits. The culprits were not anyone form the PC game, because they added a lot of different characters, but Dave, Tex, Shorty, and Mary were still in the game. One thing that was the same: the phantom horse still appeared at night. But nothing bad would happen, it would just scare the guests away from the ranch.

So that's the plotline, now for the actual gameplay. It was bassically just a book with a few minigames here and there. So you would read, and you might come across some words in different colors. The orange ones will give you a fun fact or a definition about the word that is colored. The green ones will give you a sound of the word that is colored. The red ones will give you a collectable, which will let you play a minigame in order to unlock a special thing(which I don't know what it is, because I didn't unlock any). The minigame is to make four words using letters from the collectable you found, because it will have a name like "saguaro" or somehting like that. There also are some pictures, and when you touch them it will show the picture move a little, and it will make a sound.

Every now and then, when something interesting happens in the book, it will give you a choice of what to do. What happens in the next section that you read will depend on what you chose. Sometimes, if you choose the wrong option(like you decide to jump off a cliff) then you will "die"(sometimes without the quotaions) and you can try again, and start over reading the section you (")died(") in.

Some of the options you choose will lead to mingames in the actual gameplay. There are two: horse racing and hidden object finding. For horse racing, you choose a horse(Bob, Ace, Clyde are there, and they added one: Ginger) and then you have to unscramble words in order to get a speed boost. For hidden objects, you just find ten of whatever you need to find in a picture. These can be tricky. The result of winning the minigames is uauaslly that you get a collectable.

Overall, this was a really fun game. It was only 2 bucks, and you can get it from the app store, so I encourage you guys to play it if you have an iPod touch, iPad, and/or iPhone.

Message in a Haunted Mansion Music!

I uploaded a video of me playing the Study theme from Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion on my piano. I messed up a little at one point, but I was not able to re-record it because my camera's battery was dying. I look different in this video, becuase I hardly ever wear my hair down.

Nancy Drew Music I can play

I went through every single Nancy Drew game and found all the music I can play on my flute and/or piano. Some are combined.
Here's the list:

          Treasure in the Royal Tower- Somber/Tranquil
           Secret of the Scarlet Hand- Scribe
           Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake- Day
                                                      Forest
           The Haunted Carousel- Carousel B

So there is all the music I can play so far. Stay tuned because these will all eventually be uploaded to youtube! I am also going to try to find more to play so I have at least one song from each game. I will post saying whenever I have learned a new piece. My next video to be uploaded will be Study from Message in a Haunted Mansion.

And another thing I should tell you! I learned how to play the Renaissance theme from Curse of Blackmoor Manor on my cousin's keyboard, but only because it has different instrument settings, including the oboe and cello. I don't play either of those, though, and my keyboard only does piano, electric piano, harpsichord, and full orchestra. So I am definetly not going to be able to play this for you any time soon. Sorry!                              

Shadow at the Water's Edge: Day 2 finished

I finished Day 2 of my text walkthrough for Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge. I also got a few sentences from Day 3. Here is the link:

Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake question

I've been hearing a lot of rumors about this. A lot of people and websites have said that in Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, the ghost dogs are supposed to attack every night, but there was a problem when HerInteractive made the game, and it turned out that the ghost dogs only attacked once.

......

So is this true? If you know, PLEASE comment with your answer. You can comment as "anonymous" even if you don't have a Blogger account. I'm dying to know!
