    KHV, what did you do today? Go outside? Play with friends? Sleep?

    Well what I did....I played The Legend of Zelda Skyward Swords for 17 hours straight.

    Why? well...heres the tale.

    So I came home from college on Wednesday and Thursday my sisters and I went to go but presents. My sisters and I are fans of the Zelda series (be obviously being the most die-hard) so they said they would get the game for me. Well...I knew we needed Wii Motion plus in order to play it so I said I would buy the little Wii mote add on and call it good.

    FALSE KHV! they no longer (or at least from what I found) sell the little add-on. I had to drop $40 just to get a new Wii-mote with Wii motion plus. So it ended up being a $90 value and I was like "there is no way in hell I am spending $90 that I am only going to get to play for a week!"

    Because, KHV, NOISE has a job..and that job makes him leave his family after only a week of his break (not that I am complaining).

    So I started playing that night and loved it...days later I was getting close to the day in which I would be leaving so last night I made a promise...that I would get as far as I can so by Tuesday that game was in clear shot of me beating it with out too much trouble...

    ...17 hours later....

    I am in about to embark on the final temple and FINALLY! the story has kicked in.

    But it has been a good week...Its a good game :{D

    I played 17 hours today alone...

    in total I have logged in 23 hours of it. And to be honest...there really wasn't much of a story until just now.

    and the more I am looking ahead in the online...i think I have at least another 5-6 hours left? hopefully less but it looks like a lot still to do. So, I have to basically finish tomorrow otherwise I wont get to play it till probably Easter.

    So yea, I am going to sleep and then I am going to wake up and go at it agian.

    Not really, to me it kind of started after you finish the tutorial...there's just a lot of references to other games and a shitload of plot twists. And if you do all the sidequests and extras and stuff (like I did) you can easily put 50+ hours into the game, which is what I think the developers said anyway. I ended up with a final time of 78:25 :'D

    Also are you at the final temple or the final battle? Because those are two very different things.

    yeah, I basically did the same thing for .hack// yesterday. How can you not play so much when you've got such a good game
