“i know kung fu.”

from where we left off last, i was playing harvest moon on nintendo 64. while i can’t say that what i’ve been doing since then has changed entirely, i can say that i’ve had an enjoyable experience nonetheless.

after the frustration of having to restart over and over again in harvest moon, attempting to achieve the “perfect game,” i quickly moved onto playing “the legend of zelda: majora’s mask.” i would say that i’ve play most zelda game that i’ve come across, including link’s awakening, link to the past, ocarina of time, minish cap, and twilight princess, all of which were great games. after playing a majority of majora’s mask, i’d say that this might be the most frustrating, not necessarily because of the puzzles as much, but more so because the game is played under a “time limit.” of course, as link, the hero, you’ll learn how to manipulate time in order to proceed through the game, but to really progresss through the game, the player needs a really deep understanding of how everything works in the game, including the schedules of the nonplayable characters. eventually, you’ll gather masks that give you different abilities, such as doing a strange dance, attracting small animals, and even transforming to a goron. these masks are essentially what make the game worth playing. some people, such as my self, would complain about some of the masks that pretty much contribute nothing to the game except for one small unimportant event.

at some point, i spent about 30 minutes progressing through an inclined area that leads to another dungeon, but at the top, i accidentally fell to the bottom and i haven’t played picked up the controller since. though after that, i’ve occupied with the nbc television series, “chuck.”

the show, “chuck,” is based around a character whos name is chuck bartowski, played by actor zachary levi, an employee at a best buy type store, who receives an electronic-mail, otherwise known as an email, which contains a file with thousands of pictures encrypted with governmental secrets. soon later, agent john casey, played by adam baldwin, and agent sarah walker, played by the beautiful yvonne strahovski, are sent to protect chuck and contain his secret. and because he now has a computer in his head, he uses it to aid the team in missions throughout the show.

quickly, i was drawn into this show for multiple reasons. one: for its “nerd” humor. two: for its great soundtrack filled with folk and indie bands such as blitzen trapper, bon iver, and ra ra riot. three: for it’s well crafted plot. four: yvonne strahovski. i would be lying if i say that she didn’t make any contribution to my interest in watching the show. quickly after watching the last episode, i encountered yvonne withdrawals, which were temporarily treated by 30 minute intervals of searching her name in youtube.

but honestly, it’s an action packed, comedic show filled with hints of romantic twists and turns and i recommend that you’d take a gander. maybe i’ll just leave with a video to do the convincing.
