The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

Ok, so I’m 24 hours and 5 minutes into the game. And BANG! I have the Master Sword, the music starts, the storyline blooms and all of a sudden it’s not just Zelda, but it’s the most ACE Zelda ever! I’ve crossed a desert, heading to a haunted prison, and stormed a goblin camp. Up

Well, that session was just chock full of those moments that make a Zelda game special. So much so, in fact, that my rants about last night’s boss battle are nothing but a distant memory and all is forgiven. Without giving away any plot specifics, something unexpected and a little shocking happened between Midna and

Water Temple DONE! But with a nasty shock. For the first time EVER (in my experience) a Zelda dungeon was ruined by a rubbish boss. Not a stupidly hard boss, but a rubbish boss. The reason being that it broke the rules of the game. See, the thing is, with the magic blue suit you

Ok, so we popped into Edinburgh for a while today. Imagine my horror to notice that GameStation had MINT copies of Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages in the window. They’re like hens teeth these days, and I didn’t have a sausage with me 🙁

I did, naturally, play Anno today, but if I blogged every time I picked it up I’d spend 50% of my life blogging and the other 50% playing Anno, so would clearly die of malnutrition. So I’m not going to say anything about it and talk, instead, about Zelda. So, I’m in the water temple,

And so another lunch hour is mercilessly devoured by Anno. I’m on Chapter 3 mission 8 (still) where I’ve formed a pretty successful colony (but need….. more…. land…!) and am building a small fleet to head out and attack the pirate’s home island. Trouble is, upgrading warships and troops at the academy is expensive –

Another lunchtime lost to Anno. I’m on Chapter 3 mission 7 (I think) of the single player campaign and have been tasked with mining loads of jewels for the queen. Trouble is, the two islands in the peninsula are horribly infertile and keeping a colony going with precious little raw materials. I also have a

That’s what I was needing! A saturday morning Zelda session. Anyhoo, much progress made – the final area of Twilight (yeah, right) has been lifted, after the daftest and most fun boss fight yet – a giant wriggly bug thing in the middle of Lake Hylia. So, next up I need to get to the

This is exactly what you don’t want. Trust me. I had a bank holiday stretching ahead of me when I turned it on. Now I have a DS with a flat battery which I can’t charge because my missus’ current EBA addiction means hers lives on the charger (I do have a spare, but really!

In which many game sessions are combined into one and some surprising facts emerge about the clientel of GameStation. Well, I’m finally making some progress in Zelda! I think my problem has been that I haven’t been playing it regularly so the first half of any play time I have is spent trying to work
