HIGH PRAISE for the last riddle goes to windbag for getting it first. Now, do I need to explain these riddles? I think that one was pretty obvious if you’ve ever played the original Super Mario Brothers (and if you haven’t, you’re an uncultured buffoon).
Anyway, here is the next riddle. I think it’s easier than the last:
Friends leave you
Stores close their doors to you
Entire worlds end
Alone, voiceless, hearing nothing, seeing nothing, knowing nothing
All because of an unsteady light
First person to answer the riddle in the comments gets…
HIGH PRAISE!
And, as always, if no one solves it, Gotham City is doomed!
An XBox?
Majora’s Mask?
I really have no idea. I’ve never even played that game. But somehow this just feels Zelda-y.
That last bit makes me think that it is Stephen King’s IT. Probably wrong, but oh well.
zelda
Microsoft Zune?
#1 got it, I think — Red Ring of Death.
cigarette smoking.
I don’t know, but somewhere Harry Reid is crying…this hit a little too close to home.
The Sun/a star?
Internet connection light on broadband modem!
[Ding ding ding. -Ed.]
The dead laptop battery indicator light?
C-3P0?
I blame Boooosh.
And Global Warming.
A hard drive crash?
Wait, I got this one!
It’s what Gary Busey said to the police officer when he asked, “Sir, have you been drinking tonight?”.
I believe that was followed up with something along the lines of “Okay, we’re going to be taking you downtown now…”
A cable modem with bad connectivity.
Darkness.
Is it a zombie thing?
I see that I’m an uncultured buffoon,
so I don’t expect to get this one.
Luigi’s Mansion
I don’t know. I want more gun riddles.
And Jimmy, my Dad uses Microsoft even though he despises them. I am in the same boat. However, he loves his Zune and would probably encourage me to chide you for being a snotty Apple fanboy. Snotty Apple fanboy.
Facebook
A liberal powering his computer with a solar panel?
starbucks coffee?
nondigital TV programming?
what happens when you didn’t sign the baby registry
No, no, no, Marko. I am not a Snotty Apple fanboy. I’m just a Snotty… Irishman. Yeah. A Snotty, potato-eating Irishmen who eats potatoes. Did I mention that I like growing and eating potatoes? Beer.
And I’m changing my answer now to “some video game console that bit the dust” because the last puzzle was about some video game. This one went bad because of a bad, blinking light and it really pissed people off. Which sounds kinda like Microsoft (thus my previous answer). However, I must have been gone at the time.
The last snotty Irishman, Jimmy, got his butt kicked by John Wayne in The Quiet Man.
Yeah, but that was the movies, Marko. In real life, Irishmen clean-up. Which is good, since, God only knows that a clean Irishman is a good Irishman. Well, maybe Irish women know that, too. But I’m speculating on that.
All because of an unsteady light
It’s those danged curly fluorescent bulbs!
Alan Wake?
Power outage?
John Lennon’s corpse? In unsteady light he might have looked enough like Yoko to pull the trigger.
Jimmy, you and I both know that the Duke was not just “the movies”. Show some respect, man!
A black hole.
Adult Movie Theater
The back of my ring-hand
C,mon, no one guessed the Light Worker?
for the love of god answer the stupid riddle. This is like a psychic beating.
unsteady light… Damn, I want to say it’s the stock market but that doesn’t quite make sense.
Good one, Frank.
I think “entire worlds end” is the real clue here. What kind of worlds can end? Only the virtual kind, as far as I know. That’s why I think it has something to do with the internet. Could “unsteady light” refer to a solar flare? A router powered by solar power? A broken fiber optic cable?
“Friends leave you” = people quit smoking
“Stores close doors” = no smoking
“Entire world ends” = dying from lung cancer
“unsteady light” = tip of cigarette
admit it
Night
Bedtime
I think Mesowitty got it.
That, or it’s a joint.
Charter High-Speed Cable Internet Service.
The bane of my existence.
Did I win?
Send High Praise Now to me please!
***Internet connection light on broadband modem!
[Ding ding ding. -Ed.]***
What the CARP? No. No, that is NOT the answer! That… fine. I guess it makes sense.

The internet light on the modem is great. Very clever. I would have guessed it was the guy from hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.
