I shouldn’t have done that eighth round of Jager.

It always seems like a great idea until I wake up in a strange place hugging a stray cat and using hard plastic game boxes as pillows. My first play through of TLoZ:PSM (DS) left me shaking and irritated, which isn’t something I can really blame on the game, per say. It’s because I’m an alcoholic. Anywhoo, the game is fucking cool, especially when you’re playing it in a taxi at 9AM with one hand holding the stylus and the other covering your eye so you don’t puke. It’s your run of the mill rupee-fest where some shifty pirate prick takes all the credit for your hard work (like when somebody snatches your barfly after you’ve spent the whole night getting her liquored up.) This guy is a bit more deranged in the sense that he’s constantly filling your character with L.I.T.’s even though you don’t look a day over 8 years old. When the screen gets blurry just as you’re sinking your anchor to grab some needless ship part, you’ll want to snap the neck off of your Heineken and jab it into anything with a pulse.

Conclusion: Gametastic! Mosty because it turns the DS microphone into a breathalizer where you have to blow a 0.2 BAC just to access your save file. The “avoid getting seasick” mini games were a challenge, although i’m not even sure if they really existed or not.

Fuck it, last night was a business write-off anyway.

    Actually just got off the phone with our accountant and I can’t write off last night’s drinking binge. He said I must have ingested an extra Y chromosome to believe that was true.
