New Favorite Show

Jan 22, 2007 19:48

This weekend, after I totally crashed from a week's worth of insane stress but before I started playing Zelda, I watched a whole bunch of MythBusters. Hot damn, this show is awesome. If you get the Discovery Channel, you should definitely start watching this show ( Read more... )

Mythbusters = hardcore awesome TV. There are two seasons of it on TV Links btw

Also Zelda ate the reputed 50 hours of my time in many fewer days than it should have taken. It is addictive, but less satisfying when sleep deprived. I suggest rationing it out a bit, because once it's used up there's not nearly as much replay value as the previous 3d titles (I think).

Also it's highly depressing to think how long the next 3d title will probably take them to produce now. Best of luck and remember, if you get to the end of the game without seeing fairy fountains in the world, you missed something important. Found that one out the hard way. ^_^

Thanks. :-) I haven't seen any fairies yet - just big glowy animals - but I'll keep by eyes open. And I'll try to put a few days between me and the salvation of Hyrule. But you're right, It is pretty addictive.

How long was this game out from Wind Waker? Four years? Man, I think it would be amazing it they moved back to something simpler for the next title, just so that it wouldn't take so long to develop. But it looks like Zelda is their powerhouse series, demonstrating that the Wii has something under its hood after all, so that's probably not going to happen.

Oh, well. I'm as excited for Phantom Hourglass as I am for the next 3D adventure.

I JUST finished that whole sidequest yesterday. I almost finished it... a while ago, but it gets pretty damned hard near the end and one part almost KILLED me. But Sean, you can't just LOOK for the faeries - there's something pretty big you have to do in the faerie fountain department.

This is the thing with the 50-level dungeon, isn't it? They ran a feature in a recent Nintendo Power. Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for it yet - I just got the Iron Boots and learned how to sumo wrestle - but I'll make sure I don't miss it.

omg i LOVE mythbusters! the funny thing over here is that they air mythbusters on one of the regular 5 broadcast channels but with a very british voice narrating the action. hilarious. :)

Haha! Do they just redub the same lines with a different voice-over actor? They mention the fact that they're in California in just about every episode I've seen, so it might seem a little out of place. Or maybe it's a cultural normative, so it seems less out of place, except to foreigners. Still pretty funny. :-)
