AND QUOTE'S HERE TOO OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOO-


Tempmas Card Entry 2.png


The reason I added Quote was because Cave Story symbolizes Christmas for me in a way no other game does. Back in 2011, my friend introduced me to Cave Story on his DSi. He brought his DSi on the last day of school before Christmas holidays and let me play on it. He said Cave Story was a really good game, and that was when I had a flashback of the one time he came over and insisted he play the Cave Story demo on my Wii - remember back when the Wii had demos? I played the heck out of Bit.Trip Beat - and he was amazing at it. I played until Grasstown and was totally lost at that point, which was when the period ended and I had to give his DSi back.

That day when I got home, I downloaded Cave Story onto my computer from www.cavestory.org and after fiddling around with the English language patch, I finally got it working. I then played until Grasstown and after getting the Jellyfish Juice, I was told I was going over to my cousins' house for Christmas Dinner. I was so excited, and it was a great dinner, but when I got back I had my heart set on getting a 3DS $20 eShop cash card to download Cave Story (DSiware) on my 3DS.

The next day I went to Toys"R"Us and purchased a cash card. But when I got home it wouldn't work! We went back only to see learn that none of their cash card purchases were working. So I got a refund, but then I couldn't find a darn 3DS cash card ANYWHERE until New Year's! A whole week with everyone sold out (and I wasn't allowed to purchase the funds through the eShop).

Anyway, long story short, I FINALLY god a cash card and downloaded Cave Story. The break was almost over but that didn't matter to me. I played the heck out of it on both Easy mode and Normal mode, and I even tried Hard mode.... Only made it to Last Cave.. It's brutal..

A couple years later, I got Cave Story on Wii and played through that during Christmas Holidays.

In addition to that, I recently got Cave Story+ on Steam and played through it. It was amazing.. The remastered soundtrack was amazing and very bassy! I saved Curly this time and managed to get to Hell. Still trying to beat it.

So yeah, this is the reason I put Quote in here. I didn't just randomly add him to fill in space: I added him for all the memories he gave me.

Looks like you two had pretty much the same idea...

I planned my entry two days ago and I worked on it this morning. Took me longer than expected: 3 hours :O
Time I should have spend studying, but oh well... Maybe it was worth it, I'll see soon enough.
