Yeah... not exactly too good at searching through these file-cabinetish forums for a proper spot so forgive me if this seems out of place. Also, this really only seems to have relevance with Zelda fans, but it was the closest parody of a thing I'm ever going to have to a religious experience so I thought it was important to share it somewhere on some forum, and I chose this one. Now, just the other day I took 300mg of DXM in the form of Robojellybeans and washed it down with a smooth milkshake. I had a friend pick me up and we headed to Adam's house, the place where I do most of my experimenting. It's a small room with a few chairs, a bed, a stereo, and an extremely worn-in way of being. I'm sure you all have a place like this, but Adam's house is a diamon in the rough. Anyway, I usually trip and play videogames and make it sort of a journey of discipline through the mind, setting goals and timelines and completing them. I switched on Twilight Princess and found myself mostly through the Sky Temple. I could already tell this would be a repeat of my mind-shattering trip through the Death Egg with Sonic and Tails. I foud myself about 90% through when I started and concluded that all I had to do to unlock the path to the boss room was to turn on a giant fan in the lobby. I climbed through a few rooms and ended up above in the room where the controls were supposed to be according to my stubborn already numbed-out intuition. After going back and forth to this room I realized I was out of ideas. I simply stood on the room and ran around in a circle with the control stick and a Faygo in my other hand. Everyone else was tuning in and out of the game among other things but everyone knew that I was stuck. I felt like I was at a world bank meeting trying to make some kind of crucial decision and sitting there with my mouth open. In the midst of all this, Adam was trying to get several people to adjust some of his fans in his room to just the right angle and power level. In the meantime I had suspended myself (in the game) from the grated ceiling with the clawshot and was dangling down into the lobby for no reason other than to just do something. Adam made a joke connecting his fans with the one I was trying to activate. He said "Why don't you just grab that egg switch thing and put on your iron boots and it will flip on and we can all like, be cool." I did it and expected to feel wind in my face but only saw a cutscene of an opening door. Something told me that the essence controlling DXM trips meant for this to happen. After clawshotting a few pinwheels and peahats I walked up a winding stairway to the boss field. I grassy nole on top of the highest tower of a city already a few miles off the ground. What was I doin? I was trippin. I broke off the dragon boss' helmet by dragging it down with the iron boots and it flew away. Was the boss fight over? I hoped not. Unfortunately, it was not. The sky grew dark gray and the dragon came back. Two wooden grates at least 300 feet in height grew from the ground. I had to use the double clawshot to zigzag up the walls like Spiderman. At this point I was so into it I thought I was really up there, and my muscles started to hurt from holding on. I even imagined how the clawshots felt in my hands. After fooling around, falling many times and not figuring out how to even touch the boss I felt myself dying with only one heart and no fairies. I eventually noticed a pattern with the peahats even higher than the walls. peahats (n.)- faceless plant/animal creatures in zelda that live in the dirt that can fly with the use of petals. They had arranged themselves in a circle of six. I had to use the shots to move around until I was behind the dragon, grapple to him, hit him with the sword and so on. I beat him, but the point is the experience was glowing. I felt like I was on the hill where Jesus was crucified, all my friends and family were there and all I had to do was lay back and take the nails. But I didn't. I didn't die, I didn't lose my last heart and I didn't back down. I was scared as hell to turn the game off, to lose, or to even beat the boss. I was scared of anything at this point. The weather, the scenery and the biblical resemblance just had me. I saw Link as ten times the man Jesus was, with his green tunic, silver sword and multiple reincarnations by the hands of the godesses. I grabbed the heart container, watched the cutscene, saved, and switched off. No one else felt it, because they hadn't ingested a stupid amount of pills, but on the ride home I knew I finally had something to have faith in. The Lord Link who defies all.
Awesome story it was quite an enjoyable read!! While I'm not sure I understand how my beloved Link could be seen as a religious icon I do recognize that the world could use a few more silent heroes. So I guess what I'm really trying to say is simply ROCK ON!!
i believe you've said that in every single dxm thread. at least explain why/tell a story. or don't post it again.
videogames always seem to give me this extreme overwhelming emotion while im on DXM...one time I was lisetning to King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King and I played God of War. It was truly the most epic thing I have ever witnessed.
