Gaming journal: The legend of Zelda: Skyward sword #2 | Zelda's pussy

Written by Random J •
The legend of Zelda: Skyward sword | Gaming journal #2

Skyward sword does something which no other Zelda game has done to date and that is to introduce Zelda to the player as a true character. Over time she's become fleshed out by Nintendo's standards (which is but barely) and has even proven a bit useful, albeit in a predictable role of arming herself with a bow and some light arrows. But Skyward sword is the first game in the series to introduce Zelda as an actual character. You get to know her and interact with her as Zelda. Not Zelda in a guise. Zelda as a pirate. Or Zelda as a ninja. Or even Zelda as a princess. But Zelda as Link's childhood friend. A regular girl.

Nintendo pushed Link and Zelda's relationship a touch in Spirit tracks and we even managed to get a moment in the games' ending. But the feelings between Link and Zelda have always been unspoken and left to our imagination. Or in some cases down right non-existent. Skyward sword lays their feelings on the table and then smothers your face in it. Link is in awe of Zelda and fancies the triforce off of her vagina. And Zelda wants Link's willy like Tingle wants rupee's...and also Link's willy. This creates a great dynamic between Link and Zelda, because it's one we've never seen before. Link and Zelda always seem really close, yet distant. Their relationship is somewhat implied, but in what capacity and on what level? It's never hinted at. Link is the hero. Zelda is the princess he always saves. That's really it. And in Twilight princess there was a complete disconnect from Zelda altogether. But Skyward sword brings their relationship down to teenage drama level, but in the sweetest way without tales of alcoholism, drugs and unprotected sex which plagues many of these teenage loves today. They both really like each other. And it's like...totally obvious. But neither of them seems ready to really do anything about it. That is until Zelda suggests a nice afternoon fly around the city. But just as she goes to utter those words...she gets swept away by a tornado.

The opening moments of Skyward sword are light on the action, but heavy on the relationship building. And even though it took the best part of 25 years, it's great that Nintendo not only touches on the relationship of Link and Zelda, but spins it in a palatable way we've seen across comic books, films and episodes of The O.C. For this to all be crammed into the very start of the game gives Link a strong purpose for embarking on his adventure to find Zelda. He's doing it for the pussy. Not really because he wants to fulfill any type of destiny the Goddess has set him on the path to.

Thoughts so far? Zelda's a ho and I love her with all of my heart containers.

Black refiners. We’ve gotta talk about that Milchick and Drummond moment in the Severance episode, “The After Hours”.

Written by Random J •
So, I’m watching season 2 of Severance. And as I post this, the ninth episode of the season “The After Hours” has just aired. And I really wanna talk about it. Well, I wanna talk about one moment in particular — Milchick and Drummond’s lil’ chat. Probably one of my favourite moments of the episode, which felt like the culmination of lots of Milchick moments diverging — adding a new wrinkle to a story and a world which already has more wrinkles than a newborn Shar Pei. Severance has made a commentary on a lot of things. Corporate shenanigans. Abuse of power dynamics. Sexisism. Homophobia. Religion. Consent. Control. And now I guess we can add race to the mix. Full disclaimer. To fully pre-empt and prevent being branded a liar and being misleading — the images in this post with subtitles are not official subtitles from Severance. They are subtitles I slapped on the images for extra effect and humour’s sake, in the vein of ‘What would these characters want to actually say’. I am including...

Nintendo and the Switch 2 pricing shenanigans

Written by Random J •
I am one of the few people in existence who does not own a Nintendo Switch. Y’all. Even my mum owns a Nintendo Switch. It’s crazy, because I have been with Nintendo through thick and thin and owned near-enough all of their systems. Nintendo has been a constant presence in my life. But the Wii and the Wii U left a sour taste in my mouth which made me apprehensive about buying a Switch. And because I had Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild on Wii U, I had no real incentive to buy a Switch early on. And then there was the Joy-Con drift issue which was a thing from the very beginning. But by the time the Switch had blossomed into this great system with a fantastic library of games, I figured ‘I’ll just get the rumoured Switch Pro when it drops’. Of course I knew this probably wouldn’t be the name, but I was adamant that a revised version of the Switch would release at some point and hopefully Nintendo woulda fixed them damn Joy-Cons. System redesigns mid-way through a console life cycle ha...

Game Review: Kingdom Hearts III | A mess

Written by Random J •
I typed this post after the first couple hours of playing Kingdom Hearts III, with the intent of posting it the next morning. But then I kept playing it more and more, and this post just became a near diary of my thoughts of Kingdom Hearts III. So, what was supposed to be my First impressions, became more like my first, second, third, forth, fifteenth impressions. Basically a su-   Fuck it. It’s a damn review. As if anybody gives a damn. This post isn’t that spoilerific. But there are definitely spoilers. So if you’ve not played through Kingdom Hearts III yet, then go stream “Don’t Think Twice” by Hikaru Utada on Spotify.
