Image via @jasqreate Hyrule Castle, 2 years in the past… Zelda sat in the Royal Courtyard Playing the Ocarina of Time. She played Zelda’s lullaby mostly, with some variations. Playing the Ocarina was one of her most relaxing pastimes, and as always Impa wasn’t far watching over her from the entrance of the courtyard. Once…

The Legend of Zelda: Shades of Time (FanFic) Chapter 3
Image via @qinni Hyrule’s Forest, Present Day… In the seven years that passed since Ganondorf poisoned the Great Deku Tree, its protective magic waned, and weakened allowing for more Moblins, and other dark creatures to make their way into the deeper areas of the forest threatening the Kokiri’s way of life. Link would routinely patrol…
The Legend of Zelda: Shades of Time (FanFic) Chapter 2
Image via @jasqreate The Arbiter’s Grounds, 2 Years in the past… The Arbiter’s Grounds seemed and felt eerily familiar to Link. He had traversed an ancient structure like it before in the very same Gerudo Desert. “The Spirit Temple” Link muttered under his breath as he walked alongside Zelda, King Hyrule, Impa, and General Stonard…
The Legend of Zelda: Shades of Time (FanFic) Chapter 1
Image via @Syldur Foreword: In this fan fic I present my take on the events of the child time line which lead to Link’s ultimate fate as Hero’s Shade in Twilight Princess. There is foul/strong language, use of alcohol/tobacco, suggestive themes, and an overall dark tone to the story. I feel it is a PG-13…
God of War (PS4) Review
Let’s get this out of the way; God of War is the greatest game I have played this generation. Perhaps The eventual The Last Of Us 2 can surpass it, but it has an uphill battle to climb. The God of War’s previous 3 main console entries were excellent 9.5/10 games in their own right,…
The Story behind a bad sequel: Alundra v.s. Alundra 2
Alundra is an all time great game, Alundra 2 is an all time bust (at least when compared to the original) which is the reason why I have chosen this series to be dissected for the first installment of the story behind the bad sequel. Yeah that sounds like one of those VH1 documentaries. The…
The Final Fantasy XII Debacle, The Square/Enix Power House, and The Contenders
August 12, 2005 The worst thing that could have happened to the RPG genre was the Square-Enix merger. This merger united the two RPG giants into a single entity that threatens to monopolize the genre, as only a few giant publishers like Namco can now stand on it’s way. It was not only the worst…
The Legend of Zelda canned, On FFXII, and on the Revolution’s Controller Article
October, 18, 2005 First of all I am sad to say that the new Zelda currently titled Twilight Princess has been postponed until next year spring at the least. This is no doubt a hard blow to the Nintendo faithful, and RPG fans everywhere. The thing that worries me is that the game gets canned…
My take on the Government trying to mess with our games
12/9/05 The Video Game industry for the past 15 years has quickly been growing, into a more widely used method of entertainment, to the degree that they can stand on their own against, movies, music and books. This has made Video Games a hot topic among politicians, lawyers and religious leaders, some who seek the…
RIP Working Designs
12/25/05 Working Designs closed its offices this month and it is sadly exiting the gaming bussiness. After a decade of playing their games (two of them which are in my ALL TIME TOP TEN BEST RPGS EVER) I must say that this tragic news are most heart breaking, they had the best translations and packaging…
