Visited with Cap and Family on Saturday again. Tiny T-Rex is insane. Cap is so screwed.

We're at one of the local game shops, and I was needling Cap on picking up the PF Playtest book. He had picked it up and set it back down 6-7 times.

Then I said something to the effect of "If you've got $30 to spend, I mean your choices are pretty much one of these Star Wars minis or the playtest."

Tiny T-Rex, holding a couple plastic/rubber Pokemons and a plastic Pokeball: "Can I spend $30?"

Cap and I simultaneously: "Nooo..."

Tiny: "But why..." (getting that pouty sound in his voice, like he's on the edge of crying, but it sounded a little too manipulative to me)

Cap, after a minor discussion about how much money Tiny actually has: "Yes, you could spend that much on Poke stuff, OR you could keep saving it for that Nintendo you want."

Tiny: "I'm not going to do that, because I can just get the Nintendo from Santa at Christmas, and then I can get all the rest of the stuff I want myself!"

Me, just under my breath to Cap: "You are so screwed."

Cap: "I feel really bad for this kid's dad when he becomes a teenager."

Is the nintendo in question a switch??

Also geeking out...
WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT WHY THE BEST GAME EVER IS SO GOOD!!

I think I forgot to come get this tower??

In the middle of the seventh lightning storm this week here in Paris.

Seriously though, it rains and thunders more here than on Thundera Plateau

Sorry, NH, but I can only go with what I see on the PBS cooking shows.

Great. Now you have me thinking of The Lawful Evil chef, where he/she demonstrates the most complicated, most dangerous possible way to perform each step of a recipe, so that only the strong survive.

"Next, we need half an avocado. We have an avocado tree outside, so get your straight ladder, your bungee cord, your cleaver, and of course your angry badger..."

"To gather the freshest eggs for the cake, we've asked our good friend Link to lend a hand."

One needs to whack the cuccos to get the eggs. True fact. Additionally, the bigger the sword the better.

*plays best game ever three hours too long*
At this point can one more hour hurt?

Everything Zelda has taught me about chickens shows her to be very wise in bringing a cucco with her

which is why I have an xbone. Ps3 was not backwards compatible enough for me.

The switch isn't backwards compatible either, but hey, how much can you ask for? the thing has like 50 diffrent functions in each joy-con, and you can get a used wii for $50 and play wii, gamecube, and NES, SNES, and N64 games on it.

okay, you can't buy them anymore, but I've got some.

I have a RetroPi for most of that. But I do still want a Switch, for BOTW, Mario, and maybe the upcoming new Pokemon, eventually.

I hear they are soon going to be releasing a version of the Switch that doesn't come with the Dock included, so if you don't mind it always being on portable mode (which I very much do not, I was planning on using it exclusively that way anyway) it might soon be available slightly cheaper.

EEEHH... as much as I like the switch, you want the dock.

And that is the story of how I cleared Eventide Island without sacrificing my desire to do as much as possible with magitech options. Also, Urbosa's Fury was useful.

...

What.

That works? How does that work? And why have I never heard that solution before? What happens to the stuff when you finish the island?

That is genius! And Urbosa's Fury was definitely useful. Just like always because Urbosa is the best. Mipha is my favorite, but Urbosa is the best.

Oh right, I'm supposed to be blaming Cosmo for something, not just having a BOTW chat. Umm...
I also blame Cosmo for Eventide Island, and for not having heard of that trick and doing it the hard way twice.

I blame Cosmo that cheats like this work in the hardest part of the world's most perfect game.

Also, neewbs, I blame Cosmo for neewbs who can't power attack their way to victory, or fire a bow perfect every-time or drown the Hinox

Remember, this is the Skyrim of the Zelda series. It's a feature, not a bug. If anything's a problem, it's that the final torches for the ancient labs don't spawn until you talk to Impa. (I may have decided that the current sheikah rejecting the tech was absolutely the wrong option, and had wanted to meet Impa for the first time in fully-upgraded Ancient Armour.)

I blame Cosmo that I ran straight into the only railroad this game has.

It was mostly tongue in cheek, but, some serious advice, the Master Sword cannot be dropped or taken from you. EVER

Cosmo doesn't deserve blame for Eventide, because if he had been involved there would've been a Lynel, not a Hinox there.

Thats why Ganondorf keeps his in a box when he has to kidnap multiple Zelda wannabes.
And you should to!

This has been a PSA.

If the wasteland of the best fallout game ever is giving you bottle caps there are weird shenanigans about.
Kill some moblins for me.

Do you want to get your soul trapped in a pretty jewel?!?

Because THAT'S how you get your soul trapped in a pretty jewel!

I know I've played to much skyrim when I read that as PETTY gem at first.

Gems and jewels are petty.

Hands down, no questions, no reservations, best game of the whole series. The story is fascinating, the controls are absurdly easy and well designed, the art is gorgeous THE WHOLE TIME YOU PLAY IT!! And to top it all off, they used the oft-mocked trope of memory loss perfectly.
The Switch is worth it for this game ALONE. if the skyrim controls are half as good on this console I'll stop using my computer for that game. Not even joking right now, nintendo hyped it, and it was totes deserved.

Confessions of a zelda addict #3.
I may have finished the game.
Without unlocking everything.
And I may or may not be seriously contemplating playing it again.
And I may or may not wait for Mario Odyssey to come out for my next gaming purchase.

That stuff will kill you dead. No kidding. My friend jumped into 20k gallons of the stuff wearing iron Reeboks and didn't make it.

I fought a giant elephant that just spewed the stuff constantly. I beat the stupid beast into submission, and I didn't even have the master sword yet.

Perhaps my mind is just having trouble focusing after the recent thaw, but it sincerely took me a full minute to figure out that "the stuff" you mention the elephant spewing was actually water from its trunk.

I am clearly not a well man.

I need to climb back into the chamber. Get my head right.

No! Not water! Dihydrogen Monoxide... The stuff was awful, and you could swim up it! Talk about weird stuff dude...

In some locales people swim in a mixture of dihydrogen monoxide and sodium chloride. Talk about inviting disaster.

been there done that.

MASTER SWORD!!!!!

I GOT DA MASTEH SWOORD!!!
*collapses on ground, frothing in mouth*

Da masteh sword can't break!! It can kill dem gaurdiens!! Whoop whooop!!

Fact checking: Master Sword can't break, but does occasionally need a recharge.

MASTER SWORD!!!!!

Three more shrines until master sword!!!!

I blame cosmo for my lack of earbuds which will cause me to go to bed before my three hours of zelda tonight.
Thus giving me extra sleep...
...
...
Ok, so it isn't awful, but... But...
It was breath of the wild, ok? So... Still evil!!

Eh...
I'll figure it out later...
I've bigger fish to fry!
*suddenly realizes that he left his earbuds at his office*
NNNOOOOO!!! Cosmo!*waves fist in air*

List the reasons why you think you are not a millionare?

Oh how shall I list the ways?

Binge play done.
Apparently they put a life limit on when you can get the master sword.
So I'm stuck breaking weapons for three more hearts. Seven shrines and another divine beast to go I guess.

I could comment about having a switch and the best zelda game ever, but there are more pressing matters, such as binge- playing said switch and zelda game...

I do so love strategy games, or at least games that make you think. My biggest time sink is Civilization II: Test of Time.

Sid Meyers Alpha Centauri is mine, followed by the Fallout series and Skyrim.

Take a guess.

Seriously, though... this is some great stuff and redeems any past grievance I may have had with Zelda stuff, and the controls are intuitive.

I couldn't sleep till I finished the great plateau.
It wasn't quite as stinking huge as I thought it would be, but it was about a third the size in length and width of THE TOTALITY of Skyrim's map, maybe a fourth. AND that's just the first, and smallest area on the map. and the second is easily twice as large as the first, and is about the second smallest area Link needs to explore!
*fanboyingintensifies!*
ALSO YOU CAN CLIMB UP SHEER CLIFFS!
