The First Playthrough Is The Longest

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Nyyyeeeargh. Finished my first playthrough of Skyward Sword. I still can’t stand Archduke Fancypants, even with his last surprise,* but at least he’s not the FINAL final boss. The actual final boss made me feel much better about villains in general.

Now I have to go back over my notes and see how they’d look as a little commentary. No commentary could top the Christopher Walken-esque swearing of Super Mario Bros. Frustration Guy, but it’ll be fun to play it out anyway.

And when I wasn't playing that this week, I was reading Mastiff--and the combination set me to yearning again. Seriously, game designers, Tortall video game. I WOULD BUY A CONSOLE JUST TO PLAY IT.


*Though I suspect my complete failure to be even slightly amused by his antics must be how Batman feels about the Joker. You just know Bats thinks those of us who find that clown an engaging villain are idiots.

Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

This.

I don't play videogames much at all - I own two games for my brother's gamecube and occaisionally join them for super smash bros or mariokart - but would do whatever it took to be able to play a Tortall game.

I'm quite fond of LPs in general, and I adore the way you tend to comment on media (among other things), so I have a hard time picturing both not meshing well, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I read this and for a while was confused about why you were talking about reviewing albums.

In other news I am old.
