I managed to last about 1 min/

EDIT: My mistake, I pressed enter before I completed the poll options, and now I can't change them. If you lasted longer then them, just say it.

 

[Dragon_of_red]

I lasted for all of it, good ol rocking music in the backround...

But i did decide to not cheat and so far its going ok ill EDIT in my final results

EDIT: Wow, it just keeps on going and going and going

Half way through and it isnt too bad, my brain has only started to go numb

Is it wrong that im not finding this bad? And am sorta enjoying it?

All the way through now... that was... interesting...

I made it 3 minutes and 40 seconds before shutting it off in pure self-defense. Oh god my brain.

It's bad enough that my roommate's phone does the Navi "Listen!" when she gets a text message.

 

[Robert632]

i lasted about 30 seconds before moving on to Navi drunk.

My phone has that too.

I lasted throughout the whole thing, I guess I just don't find Navi that much annoying, well it's either that or I haven't got far enough in Ocarina of Time.

 

[Rathy]

Not gonna lie, I only made it about 45 seconds. I don't get how anyone can even stand that 10 minutes straight...

 

[Uncreative]

It's strange, I used to be bugged by her, but I made it all the way through without a problem, and...I kind of enjoyed it.
I guess watching my Dad play for hours has made me immune.

I'm actually feeling a little bit nostalgic now...

Oh dear lord, I must set that up on my phone!

 

[Azaradel]

I guess I've played OoT so many times, I've grown immune to Navi.

I don't even find it particularly annoying.

Repetative? Yes.

Annoying? I can think of quite a few things that are worse.

I might have to go dig up my copy of Ocarina of Time now, though.

 

[Mr.Mudkip]

I've dealt with the lucky star one, I can deal with this one.

 

[FactualSquirrel]

Well, seeing as Namless and I had a competition to listen to this, and we both lasted more than two hours, I think it's clear who won here.

 

[Uncreative]

Also, for those that haven't already;
Watch the Techno Rave Edition. It's catchy!

It is EVIL. But kind of funny.

 

[DkLnBr]

BOO YAH!!! whole ten minutes!!! huh? why are my ears, HEY LISTEN, bleeding? It wasn;t so bad dfInker sytgsjh hello hello hello hello hello hello.... *brain shuts down*

Pretty tame torture, started to forget it was even happening in the background at about minute 3 checked back in and it was past 9 minutes.

I still feel Navi gets a bad rap, without her there'd a be lot less people able to play the game without getting completely lost. Sure there's the long-term gamers who'd wind up trying everything without any hints, but far more who need the devilish firefly to point out things and remind them of what they need to be doing (once they're done exploring everything and all the sidequests).

Just imagine what Zelda 1 would've been like in a 3d game environment, those dodongos having to be killed by bombs wasn't a solution we all arrived at automatically. The first boss fight alone might have people wondering what's going on and thinking the game's broken. People rarely ever look up without something calling their attention there or a host of experiences training them in paranoia.

Now, if every time Navi wanted your attention you were forced to stop and listen rather than just swatting her back in the hat I'd be more sympathetic. Yes, there's plenty of times that happens, though most are ignorable.

 

[xavierxenon]

*Yawn* Navi never was, and still isn't, annoying. The whole thing is just as bad as a meme, a bad one at that.

 

[Criquefreak]

Oh dear @#%$ if you can't make it through it regular, don't even bother trying the Navi on coffee edition...

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

1:04 seconds, I just had no will to continue listening.

 

[Lord Kodous]

About a minute in I just started laughing. I had to stop the vid so I could breathe again.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

at minute 8, I think my brain began to hemorrhage and I felt a tremor from the base of my neck up

I managed to get through all 10 minutes. I am still trying to stave off that suicidal instinct but it's starting to get easier now that she's finally shut up

 

[Erana]

I've been drawn into an MMORPG for the past few days- if I can handle killing Pale reapers and destroyer centipex for hours on end, I can handle an OD on nastalgia.

... OK, at minute four, I want to go back to watching LPs of Quest for Glory.
