Twilight Princess is Boring! =(
So I finally got a copy of Twilight Princess for the Game Cube. I have been really excited to try it because I love the Zelda games and have heard that it was the best one yet.
I never finished Windwalker, although I did play it a fair bit. I got bored of it, either because of all the travel time, or because whenever I'd be playing it I'd be thinking, "I could be making gold in WoW right now, or leveling, or something! What am I doing wasting my time on another game?!" lol . . .
I've been playing my WoW a bit less these days though, and have managed to stay interested in quite a few other games, so I had high hopes of sitting down with Twilight Princess and getting caught up and lost for days while I played.
The graphics are fun. Link looks cool and I like that you could name Epona and Link (although I went with Epona because I just couldn't see naming her anything else, lol). It was entertaining running around that first village for a bit, but eventually I started the storyline. I was shocked at how slow moving it was, like even the conversation is slow. Usually the Zelda games keep me hooked on the storyline and side quests, but so far it has been like pulling teeth as I try to stick it out until something interesting happens!
Maybe I have just lost my patience for games, but I have been playing for 6 hours and I keep having to take breaks because it is putting me to sleep! The forest temple had some interesting bits and cool puzzles, but nothing I didn't figure out immediately. The older Zelda games always got me really thinking as I tried to solve some of the puzzles, but so far Twilight Princess has been pretty simple.
One of my favorite parts of Ocarina of Time was that you could run around and do things as you pleased. Yeah there was an order the temples had to be attempted in and certain parts of the game were shut off for a while until you did other things, but there was so much to do and so much to see in Hyrule Field! Twilight Princess is nothing like that yet. I haven't found any little side puzzles and you are forced to go from place to place as the story progresses. There is no exploring.
Maybe I just haven't given it a chance yet and am being too critical. I do intend on playing through the game, even if it does seem more like a chore than an enjoyable gaming experience. I am very curious to see if the game does get better farther in, which will probably be the only thing keeping the controller in my hands . . .
I am sure a lot of people will disagree with my opinion of the game because before I tried it I had heard only good things about it. I am really interested though, does it get better? I just freed the village children, and so far nothing has been really enjoyable about the game, so does it pick up as I get farther? I hope so! Maybe I am playing it wrong or something, lol I refuse to give up hope on a Zelda game though, because they have always been my favorite! Let me know what you think!

My Top 5 Hottest Female Game Characters
I am in a list making mood today, so here is my pick for the top 5 hottest girls you can find in games to date! See if you agree/disagree, lol I am a girl so my opinion may differ from the majority of gamer's choices!
#5.
Liara From Mass Effect: Alright, maybe not an obvious choice, but we had a connection damnit! Aliens can be hot, and she was soooo much nicer than Ashley! She's one of my favorite game characters and c'mon, what other aliens can you sleep with in games?! lol.
#4.
Princess Ruto from Ocarina of Time: The grown up version obviously! I always thought that if I was Link, I would have said, "Screw Zelda, I'm staying under this here waterfall with Princess Zora!" She just seemed to have more
personality than Zelda, and wasn't all like "oh save meagain!" like Zelda always was, lol.
#3.
Joana Dark from Perfect Dark: She's a kick ass tough chick with tight clothes, lol. How can she be left out of my list? Anyone who can save the world in high heel boots deserves a medal IMO!
#2.
Laura Croft from Tomb Raider: What? She's not my #1?! Yeah, that would have been way too obvious! She's probably everyone's #1 hottest game girl, and I agree that she basically rocks, but I wanted an original #1, lol.
#1.
Bella Goth from The Sims: Now before you mock my #1, think about it!
Who hasn't gotten it on with Bella?! She's married to Mortimer and the
best dressed Sim in the neighbourhood,lol . Once she even did my
gardener in the back yard while I was at work! If you've never played
The Sims (freak!), just look at her! She's a pixelized little vixen! lol.

Happy St Patrick's Day! Top 10 Green Game Characters
So in honor of St. Patrick's Day, here is my list of the best green game characters of all time!
10) Ninja Turtles: Alright, so there aren't a ton of sweet games featuring these four radical reptiles, lol but they have some games, and are classic green characters! So, they are last on my list!
9)Midori: This is the character from Guitar Hero III. Sure she only has one green outfit, but c'mon, it is such a green outfit! So she is #9 on my list.
8)King K Rool: This evil crock comes in at #8 on my list. He gave those poor monkeys such a hard time that I am reluctant to include him in anything, but he's almost a classic green bad guy. . . almost . . .
7) Troll: A World of Warcraft Troll has to be on my list! Of course I could have used an Orc, but I like Trolls better than Orcs, so I am using a Troll! If you play a Troll in World of Warcraft, this would probably be your #1, but I don't, so it is only my #7.
6)Yoshi: Of course this little guy has to be on my list! He was one of the first ones I thought of, but my other ideas pushed him down to #6.
5) Murky: Again, you'll only agree if you are a WoWer like myself, but everyone knows who this little guy is, and everyone wishes they had him! How long have you stood in front of the guy in Iron Forge trying to figure out the code for him??? Lol, it's been way too long for me! He looks more blueish in this pic, but Murky (and all Murlocs really) is my #5.
4) Squirdle: This cute little pokemon is my number #4.
3) Luigi: Of course Luigi has to be in my top three! He is probably one of the most well known green guys out there, lol. Of course if you play WoW, then you would know Luigi as Muigin in Un'goro Crater, standing near the next person on my list. . .
2)Link: This green suited hero is well deserving of my #2 spot! He is one of my favorite game characters ever, and he (as Linken) is also found in Un'goro Crater in the World of Warcraft, lol.
1)Master Chief: It was a hard decision between this alien smashin' soldier and Link, but I was eventually won over because of those Master Chief sucks at Halo youtube videos. . . They pushed him up to my #1 green game character of all time!
I hope you enjoyed my list =D

Mass Effect Expansion: Bringing Down The Sky
So I finally got around to buying this and downloading it today. It cost me 400 Microsoft points (not too bad) and didn't take that long to download. I was pretty excited to get my hands on anything new for the game because it is one of my all time favorites!
I didn't know like anything about the new content before I started playing, but basically Commander Shepard has to go to this asteroid, which is being propelled through space with fusion rockets, and stop it before it slams into the plant of Terra Nova, killing millions. It was being brought to the planet's orbit to be surveyed for its minerals, but a group of the new (and supremely ugly) race called the Batarians have hijacked it.
I enjoyed playing through the new content, it was fun to break out Liara and Wrecks again and explore somewhere new, but to complete the whole thing only took me about 30-45 mins, and I explored every inch of that asteroid. I don't regret buying it though because although it doesn't seem like much, I guess for a new planet it cost me about a 10th of the total game price, which is reasonable.
As a bonus, when you complete the planet you get to choose a reward! I picked the Human Heavy Armor and it looks sweet!
I can hardly wait until the next expansion or sequel! I love Mass Effect! =D

Epic Paladin Mount: Is It Worth Getting?
So I am currently leveling my third paladin. I have a 70 Alliance and a 54 Alliance, and am now working away on a Blood Elf one. I have my epic paladin mount on my 70 Alliance paladin, and am now level 60 with my Blood Elf one. I have always loved how the Blood Elf paladin mounts looked, so I started looking into what the quest was like to get my Blood Elf's Charger.
Basically the quest chain is a lot easier! It's pretty much soloable up until the last step or two which take place in Strathlome, so you would either need a group for there or a nice level 70 to escort you. I was happy to see that the quest looked easier than the alliance one, which has you going to Dire Maul, Strathlome and Scholomance!
I don't have much gold over on the Horde yet however, and so I thought before I started the chain I should add up how much it was going to cost me to make sure I didn't end up half way finished the quest and broke! It looked like it would be about 465g without the cost of farmable mats (6 arcanite bars, 40 runecloth, 10 sungrass, 5 darkrunes, a Pristine Black Diamond and a Azerothian Diamond).
I have done a fair bit of pvping with my Horde paladin, and had quite a few marks saved up, so I decided to look into the available pvp mounts and the cost of training. I ended up getting the Horn of the Frostwolf Howler for 50 Alterac Valley tokens (I had 80 saved up) and I bought the riding skill in Orgrimmar (I was exaulted with them from doing Alterac Valley), so the riding skill only cost me 480g.
So, I ended up spending only 480g and 50 Alterac Valley tokens (I got them all this weekend because it was Alterac's double weekend) to get my epic level 60 mount. That was only 15g more than if I had done the epic paladin mount quest chain (not including the farmed materials, which would be pricey if you had to buy them all). I admit that I am a little sad that I don't get to ride around on one of those cool Blood Elf Chargers, but I'll do the quest for fun later when I am level 70 and have more gold. For now the Frostwolf Howler is good enough and it was super easy to get!

A Hardcore Gamers Top 20 Foods!
Alright, so for all you fellow gamers out there, you'll know that really, we don't eat to enjoy a nice tasting meal, we eat to quickly quiet our tummy rumbles or to crunch out our gaming frustrations, right? Well here is my own personal top 20 gaming food choices! They may seem kinda strange, but give them a shot! With these things on hand, I can make my gaming marathons last for days!
1. Energy Drinks! Duh, of course every gamer needs these, right? There are like SO many kinds though, so when I first started to pick them out at the corner store, I was overwhelmed! I have tried everything now, and what tastes the best imo is Full Throttle Fury, and what works the best is Mini Thin Rush (which looks strange compared to the rest of the energy drink types, but it is low cal and keeps you awake longer than the rest!)
2. Water! That's right, water! You can guzzle down the soda and juice and everything else liquid, but eventually, your body is going to crave some plain, refreshing water! Your body might be craving it and you won't even realize until you take a sip from your bottle and the next instant you've drained it and are going to get more, lol. I find if I keep hydrated, I don't feel as icky after spending 20 hours in a computer chair, lol.
3. Beef Jerky! Eventually you will realize that you have had only snack-type foods in the past 4 days, and you will start to crave something meat! I do anyways, so that's when I tare into the beef jerky. It's good to drink a bottle of water with it though because all the sodium can dehydrate you!
4. Hot Pockets! A gamer's classic meal, but personally I'm not that into the regular "Hot Pockets". I get Stouffer's Bistro pockets with the "crisping sleeve", lol. They are a little tastier, and the "crisping sleeve" makes it easier to eat with one hand while killing gnomes with the other!
5. Pringles / Sun Chips! I like to munch on something from time to time when I'm gaming, but regular potato chips make my keyboard all greasy which is sick, so I stick to something less messy like Pringles or Sun Chips. (didn't that sound like a line from a commercial? lol) I like Salt and Vinegar Pringles and French Onion Sun Chips.
6. Green Olives! Lol, yes Olives. I know it seems like an unlikely favorite gaming food, but I love olives, and if I throw a paper towel in the bottom of a bowl and then scoop my olives onto that, they aren't messy at all and I can just pop them in my mouth as I play!
7. Cans of Pop! Cans are so much better if you are gaming because if you have a big bottle, you won't finish it right away and it will get warm! Cans you can keep in the fridge and just run and grab every time you want a new one, or if your kitchen is far away, you could like keep them in a little cooler bag with an ice pack on your desk! I only drink caffeine free diet Pepsi, lol.
8. Lolly Pops! These are so great if you are trying to do something frustrating in a game because they are sweet and it is really hard to get grumpy with a lolly pop in your mouth! Plus, they are easy to eat without hands, which is a big bonus for a gaming candy, lol.
9. Tuna! Not just any tuna though, Clover Leaf Garlic & Hot Pepper Flaked White Tuna! These little cans (58g) are a great meal if you have them on crackers and I eat at least a can a day! lol. The Spicy Thai Chili kind is very good also!
10. Milk / Chocolate Milk! Milk is great for gaming because if you really don't have time to put any kind of chewable food into your mouth, you can just chug down a big glass of milk and it will keep you from being hungry!
11. Fluff! If you have never had Fluff, I demand you go out right now and grab yourself a jar and sit down with a spoon and ENJOY! If you are craving something sweet, which I usually am, a few spoonfuls of this will satisfy it and not make you feel icky from too much sugar! Also it is amazing in ice cream or in cereal or with peanut butter on toast (fluffernutter!). *I have heard rumors of "Strawberry Fluff", if anyone knows where I can get some let me know!! lol*
12. Hot Dogs! So sick if you think about how they are made/ what they are made from, but if you can think taste over production like I can, then they are a great little fast meal!
13. Cheese! Oh so simple yet tasty and filling! I am always grabbing chunks of cheddar cheese from my fridge when I'm almost hungry enough to eat a meal, but not quite, and want to get back to my game fast. Plus it's calcium baby!
14. Soup! Not just any soup though, Campbell's Soup at Hand soups! You just throw them in the microwave for a minute and then drink it! So handy and no dishes, lol.
15. Crackers! My personal favorites are Wheat Thins! I always have a box somewhere on my desk, and when I am out of Pringles, they are what I reach for when I need to crunch something!
16. Chocolate! Of course every gamer needs some chocolate from time to time! My favorite gaming chocolate is Twix or M&Ms because they are simple to eat and shareable if you are playing with someone!
17. Bubble Gum! I go through so so so much bubble gum when I am gaming! It is just fun and something to chew on! lol. Plus I like to blow bubbles.
18. Two Bite Brownies! I try to avoid these as much as possible, but they are nice thing to have from time to time! Of course if you are gaming they are forced into becoming one bite brownies, lol.
19. Gummy Bears! These are great to have on my computer desk somewhere for snacking on! They are super tasty and when your doing really bad in a game, it is nice to be able to bite someones head off and not feel bad about it, lol.
20. Granola Bars! I eat so so many of these things! From chocolate covered ones to honey and oat super healthy ones, lol. They are a great early morning gaming food, lol.
**And finally, my all time favorite gamer meal is Garlic & Hot Pepper Tuna on Wheat Thins with Olives and a glass of Chocolate Milk! All four food groups ftw! lol***
1. Energy Drinks! Duh, of course every gamer needs these, right? There are like SO many kinds though, so when I first started to pick them out at the corner store, I was overwhelmed!

Also it is amazing in ice cream or in cereal or with peanut butter on toast (fluffernutter!). *I have heard rumors of "Strawberry Fluff", if anyone knows where I can get some let me know!! lol*
12. Hot Dogs! So sick if you think about how they are made/ what they are made from, but if you can think taste over production like I can, then they are a great little fast meal!
13. Cheese! Oh so simple yet tasty and filling! I am always grabbing chunks of cheddar cheese from my fridge when I'm almost hungry enough to eat a meal, but not quite, and want to get back to my game fast. Plus it's calcium baby!
14. Soup! Not just any soup though, Campbell's Soup at Hand soups! You just throw them in the microwave for a minute and then drink it! So handy and no dishes, lol.
15. Crackers! My personal favorites are Wheat Thins! I always have a box somewhere on my desk, and when I am out of Pringles, they are what I reach for when I need to crunch something!
16. Chocolate! Of course every gamer needs some chocolate from time to time! My favorite gaming chocolate is Twix or M&Ms because they are simple to eat and shareable if you are playing with someone!
17. Bubble Gum! I go through so so so much bubble gum when I am gaming! It is just fun and something to chew on! lol. Plus I like to blow bubbles.
18. Two Bite Brownies! I try to avoid these as much as possible, but they are nice thing to have from time to time! Of course if you are gaming they are forced into becoming one bite brownies, lol.
19. Gummy Bears! These are great to have on my computer desk somewhere for snacking on! They are super tasty and when your doing really bad in a game, it is nice to be able to bite someones head off and not feel bad about it, lol.
20. Granola Bars! I eat so so many of these things! From chocolate covered ones to honey and oat super healthy ones, lol. They are a great early morning gaming food, lol.
**And finally, my all time favorite gamer meal is Garlic & Hot Pepper Tuna on Wheat Thins with Olives and a glass of Chocolate Milk! All four food groups ftw! lol***
