So the thing is, I've been playing Skyward Sword a fair amount these last couple of days, and I already have enough material for this post and four six and a half more. So basically, these updates will be coming along as soon as I have time and motivation for them. Probably no more than one per day, but you never know, I might co crazy. -er.

In any case, let's get started on...

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Part 1

( Wherein Dekus get replaced as the race of the Zelda series' forests. )

And all that brings us to the front door of the Forest Temple. I'll go ahead and stop here. Next time: the first dungeon!

Yep! You read that correctly! I got Skyward Sword for Christmas, and I've been playing it (of course) for the last few days. And I've been taking notes, because I feel like doing a new LP. The Mother one isn't going anywhere right now (though I might finish it later - might; long story short, boring game is boring, go play the sequels instead), so I need something new, and this seems like as good of a choice as any. So, without further ado...

Let's play: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Part 0
... are there enough colons there? Sheesh.

( Wherein we discover that Zelda is kind of a bitch. )

And we'll go ahead and stop there. Join me next time when we visit the surface and meet a race of creatures new to the Zelda franchise.

Gahhhhhhh. Sorry for the crazy late update on this. It's half I've been doing other things (like panicking about school >>; ) and half simply that... this game is dull. >>; You guys are probably way more entertained by reading this than I am playing the game itself. XD I'll get into that more when I get to my post-game summary. Also, as some of you already know, I will have three different jobs, starting this semester! So... my updates on this will likely continue to be sparse. >>; Sorry, y'all.

And with that out of the way, let's dive into...

Let's Play: Mother, Part 4!

( Wherein the characters die. A lot. )

So after teleporting around to get various things in order, I head back to Easter and prepare to leave via the east exit. Join me next time, when I continue to wander aimlessly and stumble into plot!

simple as can be.
Give it some words and
sweet harmony.
Raise your voices
all day long now, love grows strong now."

Hey look! It's an actual on-time-ish update! Which is to say, time for...

Let's Play: Mother, Part 2!

( Wherein I fail epically with names. )

And that's where I'll wrap things up for this entry. Join me next time when we either ride a train, or at least follow some train tracks (and hopefully don't get run over by a train).

Now Playing: Mother

Well, since I don't really have the means yet to do video/audio recording (and I'm not super comfortable putting my voice on teh Interwebs~ - weird, I know), this LP is going to be another text review, like the LP of Metroid: Other M. Like the previous one, this is also a blind LP; while I have played the other two games in the series, and therefore have an idea of what to expect stylistically, I have not actually played Mother itself. So, without any further ado, it's time for...

Let's Play: Mother, Part 0!

( Wherein I name the characters, and hilarity ensues. )

And thus begins Mother. Join me next time when I go to the zoo! Sounds like a wonderful trip, no?

You know what time it is. Time for..

Let's Play: Metroid Other M, Part 5!
( Wherein the game ends. No, really. )

So that's Metroid: Other M. Now, you've caught bits and pieces of my thoughts on the game, but mostly it's been limited to snarky commentary. I'm going to do one more post where I summarize my thoughts on the game, what I think worked, what I think didn't work, etc. So stay tuned for that, and thank you for reading Let's Play! Metroid: Other M.

And we're going to stop there for the moment. Not sure when the next part is going to go up - I have plans both tomorrow and Friday, so probably not until Saturday. Join me next time when we get to the bottom of this conspiracy!
