Nintendo Devours my Soul.

So it's later, and I've officially dug myself out of the endless quicksand that time and again pulls me into a soulless stupor. I of course am referring to the effects of playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. As with the three precious games since the series delved into the third dimension, I have managed to cram more hours into playing it than working this week, which was easier since I happened to cut down my hours coincidentally in the same week that I finally got my hands on the Nintendo Wii. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the system, it's pretty much the most awesome thing ever, solely because it utilizes concepts that have been around for years, and manages to make a controller that practically reads your motion in real-space, so when you swing the Wii-mote for example, you swing your character's tennis racket. It's quite a simple concept really. See, by moving the controller around you harness the power of sunspots to create a powerful beam of gamma radiation that changes the magnetic polarity of the quantum neutrino fields within your television thus creating the illusion of full on physical immersion.

Of course this has been proven to cause a few problems. But then not everyone immediately took to the atom bomb when they came out with that in the forties, but now everyone's got one. Moving back to my original point, I've been playing alot of videogames lately, and ignoring things like buying food. I'm seriously drinking Aloe Vera juice that I stole from the free bin at work for sustenance. Well not too seriously. Also I'd just like to take a moment to address just how insanely high the tax rate is in this state. I paid $24 in tax. That's more than I made working on Wednesday night, after income tax. And where's all this money going? To pay for Christmas lights.. everywhere (I'll have pictures eventually). So in conclusion, I paid alot of money because I was lucky enough to make it to Target in time to claim the last Wii, and I've more less become a faint shade of my former self, slowly dying of a lack of pretty much everything. But I need those heart pieces, and Hyrule isn't about to save itself.
