Ocarina of Time

Just beat The Legend of Zelda, The Ocarina of Time. I downloaded it a few weeks ago on the Virtual Console and it’s kept me busy for a while. This game is considered by many to the the greatest video game ever made.

Despite being originally released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64, this game still holds up really well by even today’s standards. The simple blocky textured 3-D graphics are dated, but the gameplay and story still hold up, if not exceeds that of today’s great games. A great game.

Goodbye Rocky

RockyRocky, my fearless fourteen and a half year old Jack Russell Terrier passed away yesterday. He displayed more courage than anyone I’ve ever met. Never one to back down from any challenge, whether it be a swarm of bees, dogs four times his size, or cars going 40 mph.

He was a good dog, a very good dog and will be missed a great deal.

Beach Volleyball

Just joined a beach volleyball team. Games are played in Ventnor at the tennis courts. Seems like a pretty big league. Geoff and Eric are on my team, Eric is the captain. He claims to own sand socks so I won’t question him.

I might be one of he worst volleyball players of all time. Though I was starting to get my timing down as the night progressed. Records are kept and we’ll be playing every Tuesday, so that should be pretty cool.

Super Paper Mario

Super Paper MarioJust beat Super Paper Mario. It was a pretty goofy game. Always liked the art style in the Paper Mario games. The mixture of 2-D and 3-D was a pretty cool idea.

Plus you could play as Luigi. It’s always been the utmost honor to play as Luigi, the man’s a plumbing genius.

Most Lost

I had to be at Gloucester for a meeting today at 1:00. Got directions from Google Maps, they always seem to get me where I need to be without a problem. Claim that it should be a 1 hour and 5 minute ride. Just in case I might get lost I gave myself a full hour and 20 minutes extra time, figure if I was really early I could get a bite to eat.

Got to exit 44 on the Expressway a little ahead of schedule, leaving me a full hour and a half to navigate what I expected to be the final 10 minutes of my journey. I don’t know what I did after I took exit 44, but I must’ve taken every wrong turn that was possible. To make matters even worse my stupid cell phone was getting no service. So I couldn’t even call them to let them know I was lost and needed some directions.

I stopped in 2 Walgreens for directions, which at both times seemed pretty good. But still I was lost. Stopped at 3 different Wa-Wa’s. With one guy giving me what sounded like the best directions I’ve ever received. Still lost. This time I found myself 1 mile from the Walt Whitman Bridge. Was on Rt 168, Rt. 41, Rt. 55, Delsea Drive. Couldn’t find the damn place. Finally it was 2:15 and I was supposed to be at a 1:00 appointment, after 4 and a half hours of driving I finally gave up.

Somehow stumbled upon Rt. 30 and decided I better just call it a day and head back home. Did stop at a Popeye’s Chicken for lunch. Never been to one before.
