Today, a small package arrived in the post. I unwrapped it to find a box labelled 'Whack-a-Zombie' (tagline: You Can't Keep A Good Zombie Down), containing a miniature inflatable zombie punching bag, and a note saying 'IT MAY BE DANGEROUS. TAKE THIS.'
There was no name.
Thank you very much, mysterious gift-giver! When the zombies attack, I shall have had practice.
In other news, I have completed Shadow of the Colossus!
( Spoilers for the ending. )
Here are some awesome things that I have discovered about this game since my last entry:
- If you call Agro in a cave or tunnel, your voice will echo.
- If you shoot a Colossus with an arrow, the arrow will stick in its flesh. You can come across your arrows later whilst clambering about on its body.
- If you pray in front of a fallen Colossus, you'll get to fight it again in a flashback (it's called 'Reminiscence Mode'). The flashback is sepia-toned and grainy, like an old film. It's really pretty.
- It is gorgeous. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Yes, I knew this before my last entry, but I made that before I tackled the thirteenth Colossus. The entire fight has to be one of the most ridiculously beautiful things ever programmed into a videogame.
Even though Shadow of the Colossus scares me silly, it is a wonderful, beautiful game. Thank you so much for letting me play it,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
