Twas from the mind confined, the beginning did come.
When the lock’s heart prove hoarse,
and good thoughts needed course,
the number of fucks will be none. -Comire, 3:03pm
It’s the first anniversary of this blog, “The Compulsive Squire”, and what an incredible first year it’s been. Back on January 1st 2012, filled with an untainted, positive, greenhorn energy I created TCS, a new project, a new home for all my internet-based memories and preemptively failed literary musings. Of course while the intention to continue forever was greater than Pokemon’s library, its casual nature and the idea being rife with new year’s resolution syndrome made it’s end almost inevitable. But, like Pokemon, we seem to have endured into the 2nd generation, and what a 2nd gen it’ll be! Expect increased content, day/night based settings and enhanced breeding related activity. But I’d like to give acknowledge and thanks to the year I’ve had. Here are a couple stats as of December 31st:

“Some visitors came searching, mostly for subtle frape ideas, subtle
frapes, subtle frape, inventive frapes, and socially awesome penguin.”)

All totals I am proud of and I know would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the public, be it casual passerby or dedicated fan, I thank all your support and interest over the last 365 days. So, like Akiyoshi Hongo explaining for the 14th time why he’s career isn’t built on a bedrock of plagiarism, I’ve said my peace. So welcome to “The Compulsive Squire”, a blog by myself, Comire.
Happy 60th Birthday Shigeru Miyamoto

An incredible, generation-altering genius turned 60 today and while the entire population of Japan may be currently embroiled in riotous celebration (this may or may not be happening) I’d just simply like to post one of his best cameos ever in recognition. Here’s to 60 more years.

Legend Of Zelda HD
Posted by on October 10, 2012
The E3 2011 Legend of Zelda tech demo showing off the Nintendo Wii U’s HD capabilities was awe-spiring and exciting. If you saw it (and if you’ve been following this blog, chances are you did), you were probably left feeling roused, desirous and wishing that a nearby open window was the explanation for your stiffened nipples. Well the idea of ‘Zelda HD’ seems to have struck a chord among fans and though there were no follow up mentions from Nintendo at E3 2012, that didn’t stop a couple of people making some announcements of their own. Although I’m unclear how devious the creators of these videos were trying to be, their lack of fear for the Nintendo Intellectual Property Protection legal team is incredibly transparent. With that enjoy some fan made (remember, not official) Zelda HD videos.
The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask [HD Remake]
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (very much the Dannii Minogue to Ocarina of Time’s Kylie) as always been left in it’s own dark, twisted shadow. While Ocarina of Time frequently leads top 10 and 100 lists, is widely considered the greatest game ever made, Majora’s Mask has potentially the biggest cult following known to video games. However, until Nintendo can pay their employers in ‘Cult Bucks’, the low continuous clamour for a remake will just have to be satisfied with this. Or buy the Ocarina of Time re-release on Nintendo 3DS and use your imagination.
The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Oracle [Wii U]
Toon Link is no-one to be forgetting about either. After going all Noah then Periander/George Stephenson on Hyrule, and taking a break to smash a few heads in Super Smash Bros. Brawl Toon Link deserves just as much acclaim as his realistic counterpart. Using the word ‘realistic’ in as loose a context as possible ofcourse.

It’s usually very outside my character to post something of this nature. I mean a ‘Top 10’ list? Pft, 5 Things is all you really need.
