The Endgame is near.

150 hours into the game, I finally got The Master Sword. And I have a LOT of feels about this, good and sad.

While I do have this shirt now, sadly, no one makes this shirt in my size. I'd wear it all the time....

#tearsofthekingdom

Now THAT'S a reward!

Yeah, I haven't explored much of the underground. Why do you ask?

Taking pictures for our first musical album cover:

@Mondobizarrro - You managed that on FOUR YEARS.

Archaeologist Log, Day 40.

Have managed to finally clear the detritus from the dig site. All removals have been sent for cleaning and categorizing. But I have made an amazing discovery. I have uncovered...The left kitchen sink.

By my reckoning there may be a right kitchen sink. However, much detritus remains. Funding for a further dig to uncover it would be happily accepted.

The last three days completions (1/4):

With three days of doctor's appointments, not a lot of game time, and having a late night going past my bedtime fighting what was supposed to be a boss fight, but more fighting the controls, I didn't post those three days completions....

The Beast and the Princess quest was...anti-climactic at best.

Texas Longhorn? IS HYRULE THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY?!

That wrestling ring fight underground? Someone needs to send that back to the developers cause 90% of that fight is against the controls and getting the mech to fuse with weapons correctly.

@socketwench - Something I'm very big on telling people is that a lot of early Classic Who is SLOOOOOOOOOOOW. Because we're a binge watch culture now (or got used to the "omnibus" versions in the past), we tend to sit down and watch every episode at once.

Early Dr Who should be watched, at most, one episode a day. It preserves the cliffhangers, makes you want to watch the next part, and takes a slow boring 3-hour-6-episode slog and turns it into a weeks worth of event viewing.

When I moved in with nerd roomies, and they saw my collection of classic Who, they wanted to see the first Dalek serial. I warned them it's a long six episode slow burn, but they wanted to see it anyways. They got so bored so quick.

But when I showed them the Dalek Invasion of Earth, I did it one episode a day for a week, and they were all into it.

We tend to forget that these are serials, designed to play out over a month, and often stretched out to fit that month. They make for exciting 30 minutes chunks, but very boring 3-hour movies.

Around the mid 70s there was a concerted effort to go into four episode serials and only occasionally get into 6 episoders. Mainly so they'd have more "First Nights" but a side effect is you now had 1.5 hour stories that were quick, concise and work for binge watching.

I know things have been publically kinda quiet since Zelda came out.

(1) I love Zelda, and being unemployed, have a LOT of time to play it.

(2) I got smacked with the flu for about two weeks. More Zelda time.

(3) There's actually another non-emergency-but-very-painful medical issue going on in my life that's being worked on slowly, but surely. Again, Zelda makes a good distraction from the constant pain.

Once I'm done with Zelda, and the pain thing goes away, I'll likely be a bit more...me, again.

Sorry about that - hopefully, this all gets fixed up soon. Except the game. Loving the game.

Just got back from X-Rays ordered by my doctor. I got something confirmed for the first time in my life. There IS a neck hidden in there somewhere between my head and shoulders.
