The reason I was sorry was because I was a bit over the top when stating that in my personal view the voice over on this hold did little to enhance the gameplay and quite frankly annoyed me, quite rightly I paid the price in rank points.
I hope this post both replaces my view into the forum (in a cordial manner) and apologises for my previous (now edited) rant.
As before, I look forward to more from the holds creator.

Wishing you all well.

I think, like, nobody would even care about this hold if not for the...unique Beethro voice.

Conquered!

This was a really easy Larrymurk hold, so I have to give points for it giving me a relaxing evening. Nothing too hard, a lot of basic hack-and-slash, a few rooms that made me think about what I was doing. All in all, a nice, little gem.

The most memorable part about this hold was the voice acting. Obviously. I will give many rank points to the first person that honestly suggests this Beethro voice actor should be used in the next SmS, simply because playing that hold would be as funny as... something that gives a hearty chuckle. At no point in time did I ever think the voice of Beethro was annoying. In fact, it really added to the experience. The voice of Sergeant Tark, of course, was really well done. Very high-quality indeed!

So, my final score follows,
7 for fun
2.5 for brains
70/100 approval rating

Time to march forward to Odd Jobs Medium, I guess!

I enjoyed the hold and there were some clever puzzles (I liked the swimming pool and sink, and final level the best) but after a while I had to turn the sound off or just avoid the conversation. Beethro's voice was a bit grating :(

A nice touch to put in the voice acting and story though.
