Patrick Lindsey commented on the blog post US Government considers monitoring suspects via game consoles 1 month ago · View
a) I haven’t actually read say, for example, Microsoft’s license agreement for Xbox Live but I’m pretty sure something like this is in direct conflict with that. b) This isn’t the first time the gov’t has used videogames to monitor people – remember America’s Army? That was essentially a giant interactive recruitment form. c) I [...]

Patrick Lindsey commented on the blog post Skyrim DLC to be announced today? 1 month ago · View
2 words – Shivering Isles. If Bethesda can do something like that – take us to a totally new location, give us a brand new story, more gear to fiddle with (the works, basically) then I may be able to find it in my heart to return to Skyrim again after that massive case of [...]

Patrick Lindsey commented on the blog post Deus Ex: Human Revolution dev apologises for poor boss fights 2 months, 2 weeks ago · View
It would be nice if developers would issue apologies for the broken parts of their games before we all rush out to buy them. “Oh, by the way – before you drop $60 on this you should know that the boss fights were phoned in and will likely be talked about for months to come [...]

Patrick Lindsey commented on the blog post Why do games like Mass Effect 3 get slammed on Metacritic? 2 months, 2 weeks ago · View
It’s sad, but some people just like being contrarian. They complain that studios like Bioware have ‘ruined’ their favorite games/genres by updating the mechanics, but if they kept things like they were in the heyday of Baldur’s Gate II they’d complain that we’re just being served rehashes. Not to mention those jerks who just give [...]

Patrick Lindsey commented on the blog post The excitement’s gone from gaming – how can we get it back? 5 months, 2 weeks ago · View
You’re totally right – I actually do think that Dark Souls does an excellent job of recapturing that spirit of fun that games are so good at. I bought it hesitantly and I think it’s given me one of the biggest payoffs this year.

Oh no, you’re fine.
The Goron doesn’t need a letter, he just needs proof that you’re “associated with the Royal family.” Think about what Impa taught you.

If I recall, there was a similar game-breaking glitch in Twilight Princess (the infamous “saving in the cannon room” glitch). I don’t know if that ever got patched either.
Oh, Nintendo.
