Game Journal
The Gamecube and myself are currently not on speaking terms. I did something that I haven't done in a long time and that is get so mad at the game I just flipped out, yelled a variety of things about the Gamecube's mother and shut off the game. While that's not as extreme as say tossing the Gamecube down the side of the grand caynon, which would be a sizable feat from my location, it still is something I thought I grew out of. See back in small times, I was known among my friends as the angry kid. I always threw the controller when I lost, and one time I got so mad after losing 8 games of RBI Baseball in a row I removed the game from the NES, walked to the front door, and threw the game outside. Those days have long since past but last night playing Zelda my inner child came out to play. I had made it through the Earth Temple with relative ease and really enjoyed the puzzles that required the use of light reflection between Link and the Earth sage, so I figured I would keep on going. I found the next item, the iron boots, and the next sage, who is the sage of the wind. I had made it about halfway through the Wind temple when I got to a point where there was a very long jumping puzzl e that involved the long time zelda seires staple the hookshot. I kept messing up the last jump at after about five tries got mad and shut off the game. It was at this point I had realized I hadn't saved since the end of the Earth Temple. If you need me I will be on a flight to Arizona, with my Gamecube tucked in the overhead bin.
