Royalty in the Night

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is perhaps the finest game I have played this year. Or, maybe in my life, for that matter. I rented it because I am cheap. However, it seems that the story will continue for about 20 more hours. Plus I decided that I should own this game. Perhaps I am forced to pay the fifty-dollar price?

Play this game. Now. Everything about it is cool, except for the fact that Heart Containers have been increased to 5 pieces each, instead of four. The reason? I know not. But Link looks better than ever, you can swing your sword WHILE RUNNING, the plot is good, the action engaging. It's Zelda...all grown up.

However, there are noobs in this world.

A Horrible Game

I don't get why people think this game is so good. The graphics are fuzzy and blurry, the gameplay is boring and the controls barely respond! The music bores me most of the time and i just never seem to have any fun. Whatever you do don't get this game and get Super Monkey Ball instead. Now that's a great game.

GANNON-BANNED, indeed.

Summer is boring now. I am working on running and playing piano so that I can be good at them. I must also do physical work for money. Everyone is gone and so is teh fun. PAX!

I haven't played Pokemon since June 28. That's nearly 3 weeks without it! O_0
But I'm really into some other games right now, like Sigma Star Saga. Actually only Sigma Star Saga.
Hangings out have not happened as much as they must. I declare: More frisbee! More Gears of War! More Super Smash Brothers! More movies! Some Whirly Ball!!

Very entertaining:
