Paradise Island update.



A few bushes since the last photo, but not much progress at all really. I've been distracted since I got my gamecube back again, by Ace Golf!

Ace Golf is a pretty funky golf game and very well executed. I thought I was getting really good at it, winning all the holes on the first stage, and beating the two computer characters so I can now play with them, although one of them is a french tart called Lorraine and the other is this guy Sonny [left] who wouldn't look out of place in a heavy metal band. He does get really stroppy though when he looses a hole, at one point when I beat this this morning, he got a triple bogey (three over par) and fainted on the green. lol.

I got through to the second stage this morning and well.... I came last in the first professional round I played. Need much more practice to win, but Carnivorous Cat must come first.

Addicted to Zelda

cover
Since getting Zelda and the Minnish Cap a few weeks ago, I must admit to becoming a little addicted to playing it. I'm about a third of the way through now. I had it on yesterday lunchtime (trying to beat the Fire Dragon Boss on Mount Crenel) and my boss saw me playing it as he went out to lunch. I must have looked embarrassed, because he asked me what I was staring at. lol.

The addiction gets worse though, this morning I had another, "oh it's 5 AM and I can't get back to sleep now what should I do?" nights, and you guessed it, that's right, there was me playing Zelda at 5 am. Managed to beat that Fire Dragon Boss though! ;-)

I've always been a fan of the Zelda games, I don't know why, it's strange really, once you've played one of them, you've played them all: little elf person in green hat has to get sword and shield and then go and rescue Princess Zelda. But something about them is so charming that I've always had to rush out and buy the latest gaming platform (which I usually had no interest in before) to play the new Zelda instalment on. Maybe it's the cutesy graphics and the attention to detail. This morning I was wandering around Hyrule Town as a midget, getting a little worried because the black cat sitting on the bridge started wiggling his butt to pounce on me (the way that cat's do - if you're a cat owner you'll know exactly what I mean), and I thought, "how sweet".

I treated myself to a Gameboy Advance. This one is a special edition gold model and it came complete with the Zelda and the Minnish Cap game. I can't believe I was up at 6:00 am playing it this morning.
