Sounds awesome; you're just making me more jealous. lol

I played Banjo-Kazooie at a friend's, but I had Donkey Kong 64, which to me was better, so I never really felt the need to buy Banjo. All good games, though.

Well, I knew Hanson was still going, and now considered a decent rock band. I do take pride in having the only boy band I liked the one with members that actually played instruments. lol

I haven't really heard much by Kim Wilde, may have to check her out. We share that English female vocalist taste, as I almost put La Roux's "Bulletproof" in that spot.

I think there actually might be as much content as other games, just in a much smaller geographical space, but yeah, I'm not a fan of having to retread my steps when I don't get somewhere right on time, after I already did a bunch of crap. Still great though, yes, despite the time thing.

It manages to create a sense of dread through its atmosphere, and it's just a Zelda game! Whoever did the story, art direction, and music, they all deserve a medal. lol

I definitely understand the feeling. I felt exactly the same when I first rented it, and still don't like it, but the dark story and masks won me over.

Actually, I pretty much shot my way through the game with very little stealth, so you have a point. lol

As someone who never liked this game, I found this both funny and accurate.

Twenty minutes is an episode of a TV show, that's way too long for a cutscene! And I hate when there's long stretches between saves as well, especially when you die and you're so close. lol

Here's to you completing it!

All I remember about that scene is girly Russian armpit hair. lol
