I sometimes like to consider myself a 'gamer'. I enjoy playing games, discussing games and (to an extent) design games. I keep up with gaming TV shows and web series (such as Zero Punctuation, although that's more a comedic style), and someday I hope to become an indie game designer and/or own a video[game] store. However, I have a fatal flaw. I have never completed the original NES title "The Legend of Zelda".
This is, of course, unacceptable and must be rectified. However, "One cannot simply dive into Death Mountain." It takes time to finish such a legendary game (no pun intended), and it can take hours, days, even WEEKS before you can get halfway (if you're of a certain standard of skill).
This is the purpose of this blog. I vow that I WILL beat this game. I WILL collect all 8 pieces of the Triforce, I WILL defeat Gannon and I WILL save the princess Zelda (and she will be in the same f***ing castle as I am). From January 1st, 2011, I will play as much as possible, equipped with a Wii-VC Zelda game, a sideways Wiimote, a small TV and an ultra-basic map of Hyrule, until this golden title is smashed to pieces by my awesomeness. I'll chronicle my 'adventures' after every session here, down to how many times I died and my reactions to what happens (namely frustration and excitement).
I've started my countdown. 65 days left until I start this monster. And then, when I've finished the game and watched the credits roll, I will finally be able to call myself a Gamer.
P.S: I have to include the following tag for RSS purposes. It has to go in one of the posts on the blog, so in the first one it goes:
