No way! I discovered a cool thing that I never noticed before! On the title page, if you press R you get a music player so you can listen to all the music that’s been unlocked during gameplay (like it does in Fire Emblem). Given that the music is magnificent, this is a Good Thing(tm).

Gah – can’t remember. Let’s see – Flippers GET! Butterfly net GET! Magic Mirror GET! Magic Boomerang GET! I also managed to teleport to dark Hyrule, but unfortunately I didn’t have a moonstone of some kind so I turned into a giant bunny. Which was fun in a giant bunny kind of way. And it

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 a little too frequently.

Pendant of Courage GET! Ice Staff GET! Bow GET! Book of Whatsisface GET! So, I’m off to the dungeon in the desert (Southwest of the map, if you know the game) next. Had a few detours along the way, but nothing awful. Link to the Past is by far the hardest Zelda game I’ve played,

Well, it’s Zelda time again. I’ve never really made a concerted effort with Link to the Past, despite really enjoying what little I’ve played of it. I always got a bit lost because I really didn’t have the time to invest in it. With two hours on the bus every day, however, that’s no longer

We received an email from our agent last night. Our visa subclass (138 Skilled Australian Sponsored) has been given lower priority by the Adelaide processing centre. At present, they’re processing July-September 2005 but expect to be doing preliminary assessments on post September lodgements (i.e. us) soon. I’ve no idea what this means in terms of

Nothing in the way of anything happening at the moment. Still waiting. We have the sale date of our house fast approaching, though, so there’s been lots of reorganisation getting done. I think we need to get a removals firm in to assess the volume of the stuff we’re taking because I’m having problems getting

Well, not many posts of late. The only things I’ve really been playing are World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and I really don’t think anyone would be interested in what stats my black mage or tauren druid have. So I’ve been kinda quiet. I have also had a bit of multiplayer fun

Gah! I’ve just had a hankering to play Yak Attack and discovered that it runs *horribly* in Windows XP 🙁 This is a Bad Thing(tm). Sadly, the source to the game was lost when we had a housefire and the only way to get it working properly would be to write it again from scratch.

Been playing quite a few things of late. World of Warcraft has sucked me back in again, and I now have a cute little gnomish rogue who is, frankly, lethal. I’ve just reached Ironforge for the first time and, after the newbie lands, it’s a bit of a culture shock. I feel like a country
