IGOS DU IKANA

Oh wow guys I just finished watching my brother play some Majora's Mask for the first time in...years, I think. And oh wow did I remember how it is my favorite game in the series hands down just for being so bizarre. Even though it is really hard because the dungeons are dark and it and requires you to be a completionist about everything. THAT'S OKAY. It is so colorful and creepy and odd. Creepy without being survival horror, yesssssss. And has all these untold stories just sitting there. Like Ikana Canyon. What is UP with that place? The game never says, it just quietly hints.
Majora's Mask proves that video games can have story, but can also be extremely subtle--the cutscenes are few and far between, and they are extremely visual. No lengthy explanations of the characters' motivations, just poignancy and music and image and only the words necessary to allow the player to begin to understand. AHHHH so clever.

I do miss Ganondorf, though. THE BIG LUG HAS GROWN ON ME, OKAY? It's totally the nose.
And come summertime I know that I will run right back to Wind Waker and the Earthsea islands and sunlit cel shading, but it is October, I am ready for some bright colors and dark shadows and funhouse mirror transformations.

...I think maybe I could go to grad school and write things after all, if I got to write about stuff like Majora's Mask. I don't know how on earth I'm going to make that work.

"Rache" is the German for "revenge;" so don't lose your time looking for Miss Rachel.

I was looking back through your gallery.
I miss seeing Phoenix sketchies.

Jeremy: You went to art school--you should be good at this.
Richard: Did you go to art school?
Jeremy: No I didn't.
Richard: Then you wouldn't know. All you do at art school is drink and pursue women.

I'm sorry! ><
I need to draw more.
And I never draw for you guys anymore, either. I fail.

Dealing with sex is like dealing with breathmints. It\'s more polite to offer than to tell someone they DESPERATELY need it.
