@Java – Right there with you. Reading about Axiom is bringing me back to beating Metroid: Zero Mission in a moving car. Not exactly a console-purchasing title though.

@Ethos: “I can’t believe there used to be a time when I would play games with the FAQ sitting open next to me.”

The folly of youth! We now know better.

@Java: Ariel?

Watching everyone else be able to play Axiom Verge and Bloodborne is giving me an idea of how Ariel felt when all she wanted was legs.

Yeah, I’ve only died three times so far, and all three were because of bosses and my inexperience with the genre / my laziness fighting the bosses. I can’t believe there used to be a time when I would play games with the FAQ sitting open next to me.

Hm, but what if I WANT a box of angry eels? I owe you a package first, but I’m waiting for something to complete first so I can send two things at once.

“I will not run to the internet, and I will not mind if I do not collect everything the first time or if I die over and over again.”

When I was playing the game and found myself occasionally stuck, Thea would often ask, “Why not just look it up on the internet?” to which my reply was, “And let someone else play the game? And rob me the feeling of accomplishment when I figure it out myself?” And boy did it feel good when I figured it out or took a break and came back and said, ‘Oh! how obvious!’

You won’t die over and over again. It’s quite easy on normal: on par with Super Metroid.

Stop being sick, or I will send you a box of angry eels.
