It's 'Fuck Penicillin' with Stevie Pond - 1 ZELDA

Today Stevie Pond appreciates the paradox that is 'Zelda'

They said it could not be done of course. That the linqua franca of video gaming could not extend itself in directions other than forward in time, to our medieval sword-smith'ed past, or at those rare junctions in the fabric of our art; sideways to the here and to the now. But of course, they would say that, wouldn't they? Aristotle himself might perhaps have died the instant death of an unforgiving platform atrocity should he ever have been time-shifted into that same here and now but would he not have still, with his last philosophy-laden breaths, have greeted the new shock of today with words of astute observation?

I, I, I, I am but a still'ed observer of the change hewn from imagined unreal real-space. Therefore it comes to me, the humbl'ed observer to consider this, Kafkesque in its diabolicity, stumble forward into the chang'ed world of Wind Walking.

But ultimatly, when the wind has gone from our leafy sails and all gaily-decored terracotta has been strewn unto the grass of re-imagined childhood. When the light has faded from the flabby, cold, lip of the Gaming Cube's mean child-like mouth, when all is still'ed. Then, but then do we see so clearly the reality of all things being ultimatley 'shit'.

What the critics are saying about 'Fuck Penicillin' with Stevie Pond.
