Joel's Turn

First, Joel wanted me to post some pictures. :)
This is our new setup for playing Zelda:I recently moved in with Alayna. This is the collection of game systems we currently have with us. 3 Gamecubes + 8 controllers; 1 Xbox 360 + 2 controllers; 1 Nintendo64 + 4 controllers; 2 Playstation2s + 6 controllers. I haven't taken time to count all our games.
Yes, we're awesome.

Anyway, now it's my turn to sit back, eat brownies and make snarky comments! :P

Joel keeps killing the Takkuri bird over and over again. He wants to be rich.

"Joel, what's your favorite thing about this game?"
"um... probably that it's so varied. Like... I like the variations of all the characters, they're so different than from a typical adventure game."

He has a point... A big part of this game is getting to know everyone's life and helping out individuals. But then you just go back in time and they forget you. Except for the banker.

Now all Joel wants to do is make the bobble-head cow wiggle. And is distracted by a giant sword. Go figure. He finished the expert course though! Wooooo. Now we have a second row of life. :D

"I fell through the world just now... I ended up in East Clock Town." So I guess if you dug a hole through the earth you wouldn't end up in China, but East Clock Town instead. Not bad imo.

Joel is emo and trying to blow himself up.
Okay. Let's be honest. This game has some pretty creepy things about it. The moon, the mirror shield, the mask selling guy, the music box man... But one of the more creepy elements is whenever you play the Elegy of Emptiness. Seriously... I'm not looking forward when we have to get the stone temple done. >_<

Well... I'm too tired to write anything else.

...Aaaand we're back

Ok guys, we're back after a bit of a hiatus during which I broke our save game and was really pissed off about that. Also, emily moved into another apartment with alayna! Maybe we'll get her to to a guest post sometime... ;)

Anyway, we're back in a new place (with a much better Tv set up I might add) and playing again!

I totally messed everything up last time, so Emily is going to be playing tonight.
She decided to work on the couples quest once again because it's pretty much taunting us at this point and that needs to end. Prior to setting out and mending this relationship in earnest, emily rolled around in a field looking for some bombs.

"Joel, do you think it's a sign that you keep messing up the couples quest?"
...
ಠ_ಠ

While waiting for time to crawl by, emily decided to visit every arachnophobes nightmare; the abandoned skulltula house by the sea. Not surprisingly, fire is used often. Also, WHY IS SPIDERWEB ALMOST INDESTRUCTIBLE?

Holy crap, pitch dark library lit with tiny candles and living skeletons? Wall dropping hands? Spiders freaking everywhere?Why did I completely forget how scary this place was? Thankfully, we have to get back to Anju to start this whole goose chase over again....aaand she's not there.
Living without cellphones and the internet to constantly keep track of everyone would be really frustrating...

The mailman is my favorite.

Also, we randomly figured out how to get a room in the inn which is good because we forgot how to . Wooo!

The musicbox man is also my favorite.

Back to the skulltula house!
Does anyone know how it's supposed to be pronounced? Is it skulltula as one word (skultuluh)or more like skull-tula (skull [space] tulla)?

After gathering 26 of 30 tokens, we head back to wait for anju in the inn.

****BROWNIE INTERMISSION****
omg these are delicious.


Mailed anju's letter again and now emily is off to conquer the spider house, which she does handily.

Right as we finish up some crazy bum comes in and demands to trade us this spooky abandoned and now spiderless house ( he thinks it's the zelda equivalent of a fallout shelter) for a giant wallet. Sure guy, whatever.
