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

Mostly housekeeping this morning. Firstly, I popped into the graveyard at the back of Kakarika Village and retrieved the Song of the Sun, which has the handy ability to freeze Redead (just as well – those things give me the creeps – more so than anything in Resident Evil) as well as doing a flip-job

I hate waiting. Our house is up for sale at the moment, but we haven’t had very much interest at all. We’re hoping that’s going to pick up through January. I really don’t want to be in a situation where we’re sitting on a Visa but can’t move because the Edifice of Doom is still

Phew – Dodongo’s Cavern is finished. It’s just a mini dungeon, really. The only annoying bit was trying to switch off flames using my catapult when I didn’t have any ammunition, so I had to rummage around looking for stuff. What didn’t help was the whole family going ‘BOOP! BOOP! BOOP!’ along with the GameCube

Upgrade to 2.0 is complete, but Ecto still refuses to post. Annoyingly, it posts to my other WordPress blog just fine. Hrm.. Update – because WordPress doesn’t allow you to retrieve 23785687623 entries. I told Ecto to only retrieve 20 and it now works fine. Oh well.

Well, maybe – I’m intending upgrading too WordPress 2.0 tonight, to fix some bugs in the RSS feed. In theory, it should all go very well, but I thought I’d mention it. Just in case it all goes, you know, wierd.

Was having a wee play of the Zelda Collector’s Disk for the gamecube (which is basically, Legend of Zelda, Adventures of Link, Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask running under emulation on the GameCube). Anyway, it started off as a brief go and then it turned into a ‘my God, I forgot how ACE this

I’ve been tinkering today. Had a go of Castlevania and got stuck at a boss. I wasn’t really in the mood for the exploreyness, which is a serious drawback in Castlevania, given that the central drive of the game is colouring in the map. So, quick go of Fire Emblem. Failed utterley on Chapter 5

Right. So, the film is what – 90 minutes? 90 minutes of crawling about. In the dark. In tiny cramped spaces. While being pursued by hideous flesh-eating Gollum look-a-likies. I’m traumatised. I feel absolutely exhausted and drained. What an amazingly ACE movie!

Why? Why did I just limp in the direction of the save point, with a one pixel wide band of health, having just explored an area of the map? Why did I get myself killed doing this, when I had a backpack full of health potions which I’d gone and bought specifically to avoid this

New player to match the new year. I got about a third of the way through this before something else distracted me. This is more of a quick blast game than Fire Emblem is, so I thought the time was right to start again. So, I’ve done the first few areas and come across the
