Ocarina of Time (3DS)
Well, that’s the forest temple done now – Ghost Ganon is a fun boss, I reckon – and one of the easier ones. Now it’s back to the Temple of Time to see what I’m up to next.
The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

I’m all growed up now! I finally finished trawling through Jabu Jabu’s Belly after getting myself totally confused because I had it in my mind it was different. The miniboss gave me some trouble too as I have a tendency to lean to the side when I’m running in a circle and this, of course,

Just had an email from Scottish Power, bless ’em. They say “Wholesale energy prices have been rising dramatically too, and although we’ve been doing what we can to absorb these costs for as long as possible, we now have to increase our prices.” Looking a little deeper, I found that their profits have fallen from
