Idiot Ball/Video Games: Difference between revisions

** "Great Chase through time" has some almost hilarious ones. Carmen orders her [[Mook]] to steal something and then gives them hints to hide some place. Some of these places make a bit of sense (Baron hiding over the edge of a ship, Jacquelyn Hyde hiding inside a cave), others are soemtimes a bit funny (General Mayhem managing to hide inside a tapestry) but other times, they're ''hilariously'' obvious and they're hiding in ''plain sight''. Adventure-[[Game/Fetch Quest|Fetch Quest]] aside, some cases could ahve been over in a few minutes if people simply looked around a bit. (Julius Caesar apparently never thought to look ''behind'' the column that was ''right next to him'', the servant holding the camel that Bugg Zapper was hiding behind never noticed it was a cardboard cutout, Isabella somehow didn't notice a chart in her room that detailed landmasses that at the time were unknown to her, Beethoven doesn't immediately identify the foreign instrument in his orchestra, and Thomas Edison doesn't even think to look at the battery that is ''right in front of him''.)

*** The Beethoven one deserves a special mention. Renee Sance should have spotted that the Sousaphone, not invented for about another 50 years, is in an ''1808'' orchestra. [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Unless you buy into the interpretation that the good guides know very well where the criminal was hiding (most of the time) and wanted you to figure it out yourself.]]
