10 minutes in: i get a low battery alert on one of my controllers

20 minutes in: sweat starts falling onto my eyeballs and from here merely playing the map begins to hurt

25 minutes in: i start to realise that this map is easy enough that to not really pose a challenge skill-wise. the only test here is one of discipline and endurance.

whenever the fuck bad reputation starts: i started this thinking that there were only two musical numbers and am beginning to realise that i am wrong

somewhere after this: i start losing track of the plot because i keep thinking that puss in boots shows up int his movie when he in fact shows up only in shrek 2.

fiona is first revealed to be an ogre: i start squatting and lying down on the floor whenever i can, only getting up when absolutely necessary to hit the highest notes.

from here on out it is a blur. i keep getting low battery alerts every 2 minutes and i resolve to quit the moment one of my controllers runs out of battery. the moment never comes and the next thing i know i’m a believer is playing and i have won but at what cost.
