No Fishing

Every now and then, I'll come across a game that is a little out of the ordinary. I'm not saying that the disc will fly around the room or that the game has to be some spectacular feat of engineering that has never been seen before, it just manages to hit my game nerves with an intensity that seems to bend time. Recently, Zelda: Twilight Princess has done this. It's consumed around 45 hours of my life in the last week and when you think that most people spend that long at work, you can see why this is a nasty addiction.

I've enjoyed every moment of the game thus far, from collecting bottles to digging in the dirt. There seems to be no task too mundane to hold my attention. I'm what is known in gaming circles as a completionist. I will often latch onto a game and play myself into a coma in an effort to collect everything, unlock everything and kill... everything. The trap of this particular game though is the reel fishing. I could have run in and thrashed Ganon about 5 to 10 hours of gameplay ago, but the fishing... oh the fishing.

My name is Salem and... there's no easy way to put this but...

May the gods have mercy on my soul and forgive me for using the sinking lure just that one time.
