Zelda Trailer at GDC
A new Zelda trailer has premiered at the Game Developers Conference! I have to keep reminding myself that this is a GameCube release, not a next-generation project... It looks like it's going to be an epic poem whose magnitude we have not felt since a work of art that just happens to be one of its predecessors, Ocarina of Time. The wait will be excruciatingly long. (Is it just me or does it almost feel excruciating to say excruciating?) I think you all know what I'll want for Christmas.
Fine, even though the word "excruciating" has today become an expression non-exclusive to the Crucifixion -- for purpose of grandiloquent literature -- I will no longer use it if you insist upon a blasphemous connotation.
But then I will expect you to study the etymology of each and every word in the English language and adhere singularly to their exact, original meanings and usage.
So...Zelda... The wait will be pleasantly short compared to the excruciatingly long hours in the throes of death that Jesus suffered upon the cross of His Crucifixion...
I like reading just one more chapter before I fall asleep.
I like elephants and tigers because they don't give a damn.
I like hats of all shapes and sizes and I think that all men should go back to wearing fedoras.
I like acting suspicious at museums then watching the guards follow me from room to room.
I like bittersweet stories about the end of an era.
I like watching dirt sift through my fingers.
I like breathing in the crisp air of a cold, clear morning because it makes me feel renewed.
I like being a member of Mensa but I'm too frugal to pay the dues anymore.
I like lazy summer weekends at the ballpark because it's one of the last bastions of true Americana.
I like quiet songs about loneliness and loss.
I like inserting French phrases into my vocabulary just for that je ne sais quoi touch.
I like telling kids to "knock yourself out" then watching them run around in circles.
I like the smell of fresh bread at the end of a long day.
I like the word "hallelujah" and I think it might be the most wonderful word in the world.

Oh, you want to play semantics, do you?
