    Well, it’s not so bad.

    Had some further clarification from our agent and the delay isn’t as bad as it first looked. Rather than being an additional 4-5 months processing, all that’s changed is the initial queue before a case officer is allocated. So rather than waiting 1-4 months after...

    Update: Power Gloves GET! Power Pendant GET! Desert Temple and Desert Palace THWARTED! Or something. I like these little mini-dungeons – it’s a good way to get your started in what’s essentially a gargantuan game. It’s still fiendishly difficult, though, and I seem to die...
