if silence keeps you
i will break it for you.
my inner nerd has decided to show itself in the past week or so, 'cause i've been spending most, if not all of my time on my wii, replaying twilight princess.
i am such a loser. haha.
i need to do something more productive with my time, like reading for school or some shit like that.
meh.
and what's even worse, thanks to the new simpsons episode (and jay, ugh i hate you so much haha) i've been listening to josh groban all weekend - well actually i've only been listening to two of his songs, which were featured in the episode: you are loved and so she dances. i don't know why this is happening to me, goddammit.
i already sound nerdy, so i guess it won't hurt to write an entire blog based on my thoughts of legend of zelda, aka one of my most favourite video game franchises in the world.
it's funny when you play rpg video games like these: in LoZ's example, you play this guy named link, who came from humble origins and suddenly finds out that he's some kind of 'chosen hero by the goddesses' to save the land from tyranny. so he triapses around the land, solving difficult puzzles and defeating big ugly monsters, and along the way he collects cool artifacts and powerful weapons. eventually he beats the bad guy who started this crap in the first place and ends up becoming the saviour of the land. he rescues the princess, who had been locked up in this lonely tower with nothing but an old bed and a pretty nightstand, and everything becomes safe again.
and what does our hero get in return?
you watch the end credits, just hoping that something will happen - c'mon, after risking your life to save a girl you hardly know, it'd be natural to expect a little somethin' somethin' in return - and you end up with a pretty background and the words THE END in large orange capital letters.
WTF? no action? c'mon, i fuckn' stuck my neck out for you in the wilderness for god-knows-how-long, while you were all nice and warm and cozy in your tower, and i don't get jack?
to make things worse, in twilight princess there are two other girls that link makes himself acquainted with: he has a childhood friend named ilia who loses her memory, but regains it in the end, and midna, the twilight princess who accompanies link on his journey.
and even after all is said and done none of these girls give link what he deserves.
as caroline wilson so eloquently said:
"i saved hyrule for you, so where's my fucking blow job?!"
zelda (the princess who was locked away in the tower) is pretty damn fortunate that link hardly talks, 'cause sears, if he ever did...ohhhh there would be hell to pay.
i'm not saying this to sound like a perv or anything, but honestly, if you were in his shoes - you're traveling the fuckn' country day and night, spending most of your time in creepy-ass dungeons solving riddles and knowing that there's some kind of monster lurking over your shoulder - you would want some credit for it; a simple 'thank you' would suffice, or a peck on the cheek, but honestly...you gotta cut the poor boy some slack!
it's a sears bitch move to order a guy to save the world for you, only to wave him off in the end - even in more modern terms, it's still a bitch move. you tell somebody to do something for you, and to not thank them when they do it is just impolite. is acting out of propriety the in thing now? sighhh.
okay i think i'm done my nerdy rant. i'm gonna go play zelda now.
