So I was playing God of War II today and got to the part where you go to the Phoenix sculpture that shoots these annoying waves of fire at you and you have to make it to the other side of the sculpture by grappling onto a hook that can only be activated by stepping on a stone, as most things in God of War are. It made sense then, but now that I look back on it, HOW THE HECK did I miss the huge, imposing statue at the start of it all. I tried going it alone (since the statue didn't catch my eye) and failed.... miserably. Silly me. I tried everything in the book too, including outrunning the fire waves (which failed miserably as well). I guess what I learned from it all is that it's not just about brainwork when one comes upon annoying puzzles in video games. Having an observant eye helps as well.

Oh, and this is my first blog post. Hoorah.
