I'm back, baby!
Oh, over a month ago, I'm sure, I bogged down suddenly over a mere trifle in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and then neglected my Castlevania habit, not playing it for like a month. So long that a few days ago when I decided to fire it up again, I was actually rather clumsy. But I eased myself into it, told myself I didn't have to do anything spectacular until I felt like, fruitlessly mined the Skeleton Cave for Cashmere (long story) for the umpteenth time until I got my groove back, then had another go at what had gotten the better of me... And really, it was a mere trifle. I finished off the area where I'd gotten stuck, and, as per usual when I neglect Castlevania for awhile, I'm all like "Damn, this is a blast! Why did I ever leave off playing this??"
(I admit it helps that I've done so much treasure hunting I'm pathetically overlevelled; I was hung up at/just finished Tristis Pass and I'm at level thirty-six.)
I even polished off some villager quests in the process. Serge's last one is annoying as hell, tho. I'm still not as mad at him as I am at Marcel (@#$ph%^ing Cave Troll, Serge hasn't got me killed yet...), but annoying.
(PS to Konami: There are fansites that say this whole "Metrovania" thing is played out. Don't listen to them. Never ever stop making games like this.)
