Beyond Tetris is back with a new article on The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour. Light on the puzzle analysis, because the games were light on original puzzles.
I'm hoping to get back on a biweekly pattern for the column. I'm not sure if future articles will be going up on Wednesdays or Thursdays, but my plan is to still write them the weekend before the publish date, then have a few days left over to finish things up.
After mentioning it again, I've decided to finally tackle The Fool's Errand for the next article. I'd originally planned to coordinate the article with some certainty regarding the long-delayed sequel, The Fool and His Money, but after mentioning it again in the 7th Guest article, I don't think I can put it off much more.
On a related note, I'm looking for information about the history of the word "metapuzzle." I've sent an e-mail to the NPL mailing list, and I'm duplicating it here as well:
