Stop the presses: Professor Layton is on Twitter photo

Breaking news everybody! Professor Layton is on Twitter! The account was created to build up hype for Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box's upcoming release this August and the Professor has been giving out riddles since yesterday for his followers to solve. 

These riddles are so easy. I don't understand how anyone would have a hard time with these. For instance, look at this riddle:

"Here's your second riddle for today! Mountains will crumble and temples will fall and no man can survive its endless call. What is it?"

The answer is time. Actually, the answer is Google. I used f**king Google to figure out your damn question. What do you think about that, Professor?

Am I missing something or did you have to use google to work out one of the easiest riddles in the history of riddiling (sounds like a disease)!

Anyone thanks for the heads up and.... .*Twitter account created* .. Here I come professor!

I like the rage-filled turn the post took at the end.

Kudos to Penny Arcade for expressing my thoughts when I was playing Professor Layton. Don't get me wrong, I like riddles, but how is solving a math problem going to help me get back a lever for a bridge?

As for the post, this riddle twitter reminds me of those riddle websites in which the answer to each riddle was also the name of the next web page address.

Best PA comic ever. Once I get the money I'm gonna get a print of that and get a really nice frame for it.

I wonder if Prof Layton follows Henry Hatsworth on Twitter or vice versa?

"wow, whats up with the PA hate from some of the comments. i'm sorry but you have to be a jaded ass clown to not like PA."

I just don't find it funny. I think a lot of fans just give it a free pass because it's about videogames. I used to do the same thing with Ctrl-Alt-Del until I questioned myself "Why the hell I'm a still reading this?"
