WORD OF THE DAY! 3/10/13!

beeper [bee-per]
noun
1. A pager; a pocket-size electronic device whose signal notifies a person of an important message, sometimes displaying the telephone number to be called.

EX. You guys know what makes video game sidekicks, especially the ones in Legend of Zelda and especially Fi, so obnoxious? Unlike the obnoxious bleeping noises that Link hears when he is low on health, these sidekicks put a face to the annoyance of having characters patronize you with information that nobody would need to have explained to them at every turn or annoying calls just for the sake of it. Having a Legend of Zelda sidekick is like having a beeper in 2013-- it's unnecessary and should be thrown out ASAP unless you're a frickin' video game surgeon or drug dealer.

Also, speaking of beepers:

BIG BOB'S BEEPERS!

SIDE NOTE: I'm sure everyone else realized that Bob Pataki was emotionally abusive & Miriam was a drunk.

 EX. I am sorry. I am really sorry. But I just don't like the subject for today's word of the day. There have been some annoying companions in the Zelda franchise, but not sidekick has pushed harder to be disliked while simultaneously doing nothing to make me care either way. The idea of the Master Sword having a persona? Potentially brilliant...the outcome is how the animism of Fi, rather than inspire me to enjoy the sword work better in the classic idea of singing sword, she drove me to dislike her...more than Navi.

Today's subject is...

FI

SWORD IN THE MUD
