Well, it's been a few days since I last wrote NEthing about my adventures as the intergalactic Bounty Hunter - Samus Aran. And I've made a fair amount of progress since we last chatted. :)

After my battle with the Sheegoth (and my plan worked perfectly, I might add. I'm surprised it took me so long to think it up. Sometimes you just have to read the information provided in the Scans you take of these creatures... Useful hints abound. :D), I got myself a brand spanking new Wave Beam, and proceeded to run around opening up as many purple doors as I could find. And there are quite a few scattered around. It appears the game is structured so that you have to go back to earlier areas and use your new item to unlock other areas. Interesting.

Since then, I've found myself few more nifty items to play with. I've got myself a Thermal Visor (useful for battling rock creatures), a Spider Ball (those weird track things are no longer a problem), an Ice Beam (freezing those Space Pirates is great fun) and even a Gravity Suit (water? Who is slowed down by that NEmore, NEhow? *grin*)

I'm currently exploring the Phazon Mines, and working on finding a few of those Chozo Artifacts - I've found five so far, but so many of the others are eluding me. Just have to read through those description type clues again, and see what else I can find. Looking forward to getting my Grapple Beam back again, which has gotta be around here somewhere... :)

Game on, people!
