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

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

People in newsgroups wonder why it takes me so long to complete a Zelda game. It’s very simple. I spend hours and hours mucking about with silly things. Last night, for example. I finally completed the Goron Caverns, and on returning to the village discovered that there’s a sniper-scope type attachment available for the bow.

Argh is all that I can say. This is a brilliant game. I am trying desperately to get through one of the missions and Im turning into a game addict cos I really really have to finish the level. Rather than watching a Bruce Willis film heres me sitting with headphones doing practice levels and

The controls have really clicked now – feels very smooth and intuitive. It’s all helped by the locking system being pretty smart, especially in close combat. Ol’ link leaps about like a ninja, making me look much better at the game than I actually am. Just done a little bit of the same dungeon –
