[Nighthawk]

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.

I see your Batman reference and salute you, sir.

I got a chance to play the game one on one with a friend last night, on both sides.

It's fun on both sides, nice and frantic.  The difficulty ramps up smoothly and quickly gets very difficult.  Early puzzles are formula-based, the defuser describes the module and you go through different questions and do the first action that matches. 

Later on they get very compicated.  Morse code is probably the hardest, but complex wires is the most intimidating.  Morse code you've got a light flashing a morse code message, you have to get the message intact to the expert, where he'll translate it into a word and then give you a frequency to send it to.

There's also "needy" modules which I haven't seen yet.  They don't count toward solving it but when certain actions are taken they activate and you have a time limit to solve them before they give you a strike, and they'll continue to do this.  I haven't actually seen any of them yet though, not far enough.

Fun anecdote:  I'm the defuser, I'm the one about to die and my friend tells me not to talk about the time cause it stresses him out.

As someone who works in tech support, this is basically my job, except that the bomb is the dimwit on the other side of the line.
