Agreed with Bel. Although instead of renting it I'll wait one or two weeks, read reviews, read fanboy rants online, and figure out if the general opinion is a.)Gah! It's horrible or b.)Eh, isalright.

So, yeah, my grandpa left some foreign currency. Nice.

And, if you wanna talk about going out of order, I did Forest, Ice Cavern, part of Fire up until the Hammer, part of Water up until Longshot (Which you get really early), Bottom of the Well, part of Spirit up until you need Fire Arrows, then went back and finished Water, finished Spirit, and am now I'm en route to finish Fire. I've also gotten the Biggoron Sword and Mask of Truth already. I thought Twinrova would have been harder with only 13 hearts.

I don't really remember what the MQ dungeons are like, but I'm sure the original dungeon would be easier for me since I've done it so many times. And Twinrova's not very difficult; her attack patterns are easy to avoid. I think Phantom Ganon and Bongo Bongo are the hardest bosses, in terms of avoiding their attacks.

I'll agree with Bongo Bongo but if I remember correctly, if you stand on one of the triforce symbols around the circumference of the area you fight him in, you can completely avoid his attacks in the first round of the fight. After that it's just about how good your timing is. 😃

Happy Birthday to Tobias_daboi / Anthus, and to IaN! IaN hasn't been here in a while, but is still occasionally present in other areas of the surrounding community. Nice guy.

Answer: Me

Woo! Now I can call up RCN and tell them to fuck themselves for giving me the worst cable internet ever.


I just switched from cable to DSL myself. I just don't understand the Internet market these days. Cable was slightly faster, but DSL is slightly cheaper - however, I still don't understand why either costs as much as it does. Seriously, it seems like the price for broadband hasn't changed in the past, what, eight or so years?

*sigh* Crap, I'm having trouble finding a good Christmas gift for my girlfriend. We've been together about a month, and shes a fifteen year old who likes reading, strategy games, and loves Dungeons and Dragons. But I need something that's also kinda romantic...
crap...anyone got any ideas?

Yeah, because every 15 year old girl wants her very own Dildo. If all else fails, and you can't think of a gift, take her out, or make her something (food related). I dunno. My girlfriend is not a really big gift person, so I can get away with that kind of stuff.

I don't know what state you live in, but im pretty sure If I bought a 15 year old any sort of sex toy, Id be locked up...

ohhh wait... i forgot that's probably your older girlfriend...

Are you completely incapable of picking up on something called sarcasm?

And, is that second line supposed to be some sort of insult, because honestly, it makes no sense. Oh well. Have fun replying since I'll never see it. You are going on my block list.

"You are going on my block list. "

awww poor kiddy got butt hurt... its ok no chip off my shoulder...

No, I'd just rather not waste time seeing your substanceless posts filled with typoes, and come backs that sound like they are from some bad 90's sitcom.

*but srsly...blocks

that was a cool face...

O_o...

but seriously don't care... hope that means I don't ever have to hear from you again.

Everyone seems to point out reasons why they don't like Twilight Princess. Well, I thought I'd share some things they got right.

Overworld, Sword Moves, and the sense of Freedom later in the game. Ah.

Everything else is questionable, but these are things they got right, and reason I still play the otherwise lackluster game.

It's been about two years since I've played TP so I don't remember specifically what sucked about it. I just know I didn't like it very much.

Sooo, on a similar subject…

I'm playing OoT right now—just started a new game today. I'm currently collecting rupees so I can get that HCP from Damp� before I head up Death Mountain. I've been unlucky so far, spending my entire wallet and not getting the prize yet.

*goes back to playing*

I hated that HCP. It is like the one in ALttP in the dark world, where you have to pay that guy 80 rupees and you can dig for 30 seconds. With some luck, you find the HCP. You usually dig up more rupees then you had to begin with though.

The only Zelda Games I ever bothered to get all the Heart Container pieces were ALTTP and Majora's Mask. I was at least close in OoT though.

Also, lately, I've been playing a lot of Fallout 3. I've noticed that I always hang on the title screen though. This, however, is purely by choice. Because: I have grown so attached to the main title theme. Compare them.

Getting all the Hearts in Majora's Mask is way more difficult than OoT.

So… I started getting bored playing OoT. I ran around and got every HCP and Gold Skulltulla I could before Dodongo's Cavern, then I entered the cavern, saved, and quit. Then I started a new game on Fable. I'm taking a break now; I don't know which game I'm going to continue playing later tonight. Everything gets boring too damn fast.

In my mind, TP was missing two critical elements.

1: A HARD MODE. Seriously. The last boss did half a heart of damage to me at some point. Pathetic!

2: A spinner race minigame. The spinner was THE MOST AWESOME zelda tool since the hookshot. And yet, the second you leave the arbiter's grouds, it is transformed from awesome medieval skateboard-thngy to tool you use to cross a few short gaps thingy. 😞

Oh, and sorry if I'm really late to this, but...

Amaster, Kupos to you on getting together with a new girl!

Oh man, yeah, the spinner had so much wasted potential. Here's hoping that it becomes elevated to standard status and returns for the next few installments, so they can do more crazy stuff with it.

Heh, thanks Aegix. I really cant believe how lucky I was. She loves Star Wars, D&D, stratagy games and is phenomenally smart, as well as being pretty damn cute. *shrug* Life's going my way...for once.
