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

That was an eventful session. Much exploration was undertaken, and even a couple of bosses fell to my enthusiastic whippeding. First off was an annoying Skull Knight, which must have had the skull of a cat because everytime I thought I had him he popped back up again. He was keeping the thingy feather safe,

Had the briefest of goes at lunchtime – literally about five minutes – cos I’ve been a bit busy today. Anyhoo, in that five minutes I had a little foray east into uncharted territory and came across a Golem boss-ette, which I proceded to whipp-ed to death until his head exploded. Then he had a

Well, the Forest Temple is complete for the second time. Unfortunately, my money pouch thingy was full when I went to collect the final chest, meaning I had to leave a chest unopened! Oh no! That’ll bother me for weeks! Anyhoo, the boss was as fun as Zelda bosses generally are and he was soon

Well, I headed east as planned and have coloured in the parts of the map revealed by part two of the map item. On the way, I’ve discovered a tower that goes up a very long way but only leads to a location I can’t get to without a double jump. Thankfully, someone has thoughtfully

Well, I found the shop but it wasn’t where I expected it to be. As well as a pile of potions, I also bought part two of the castle map so I have a fair few new places to visit. I also found the joy of the “Quick Save” feature which allows you to save

Oh No! Tragedy has struck! While saving my lad’s game for him, I inadvertently saved over my own profile, setting me back to early in the forest temple. Gaaaah. And here was me being all obsessive about collecting absolutely everything as well. In time terms, I think I’ve been set back about 5 hours, but

So, as you do, I was continuing my quest to find somewhere I could slither under with my new-found lizards tail powered slithery moves. I visited all the likely looking terminating points of the maze and succeeded in picking up a few bits and bobs without actually opening any new areas. Then I got to

I whipp-ed a skulloton, again, you know. Anyhoo – had a good romp around the top right (I think) of the map – I have about 20% visited now – and managed to get a skanky old lizard’s tail which allows me to slide. As happens in Castlevania, I do remember seeing a place I

I had to stop playing last night. It was another Ico moment – possibly the most exciting experience I’ve had in thirty or so years of playing video games. Without giving away any spoilers to anyone who’s not played the game yet, there’s a section about ten hours in where you (as Link) have to

Ooohhhh it’s just lovely. So, I’ve rescued yet another light spirit and have changed from shadowy dog thingy back to Link once again. Next up is a trip to the Goron village to find out what they’re in such a bad mood about. Bashing loads of baddies on the way, naturally. Hopefully I won’t bump
