I haven't changed my wallpaper in a while so right now it is just a Tri Force heroes wallpaper and in my mobile Young Link in a red background.

If Termina wasn't doomed that'd be my choice.
My second choice would be Koholint but if you have played LA you know why is out of my list as well.
I guess, I'll go with OoT's Hyrule. I enjoy the minigames. I can go fishing, walking around, checking on the Ranch. It'd be nice living in Kakariko Village.

I don't own enough skinnyjeans and black hair dye to live in Twilight Princess's Hyrule.

Are you planning to stand out? :lengua:

I am ignorant of the details on the French Revolution. I might recall a bit more than I give myself credit for, buried with my school years and spanish terms. What I remember is that it was something massive and with different layers that affected different things culture, social classes, laws. I think even literature and other arts got shaped by this. Heck, I am almost sure that their eccho reached Mexico and a lot of the ideals were huge detonators for "new Spain" to decide to fight for their own independance and constitution.

I will take your oversimplifications as comedy and not as serious arguments. :lengua:
That said I will give you my opinion anyway because I know you have used some of the media you're criticising so I think you do believe some of this and it would be nice to have some exchange of opinions on how we see SN, specially Google plus.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Facebook: your mom likes your status, because you know your mom is on facebook, so you can't post anything real there.

Facebook have lists and 3 sets of trust (acquaintance, friend, close friend) so you can really have your family and still have two groups see a different side as you need.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Twitter: Unless you're a comedian, you're going to fall into one of the three categories of useless tweeters: the vapid, the incendiary, and the guy who literally just links to his own youtube videos.

Ouch. The YT-er one I have seen it often, hahah.
I opened my twitter for my community roczuz so I was a lame cyborg account of automated tweets mixed with a few authentic now and there. Now I use it a bit more but I am never constant enough to make any presence. I know taht people taht find me and add me in general are mostly looking for follow backs.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Instagram: Unless you're a photographer or some shit, nobody actually takes enough interesting pictures to maintain a presence. So you're probably posting selfies, pictures of your pets, pictures of your food, or you're a pedant wannabe photographer who takes pictures of the stop sign outside your house with a black and white filter on.

That's a point. I think whatever you post on instagram you could post in any other SN anyway.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

tumblr: Nobody actually puts anything on tumblr. They just reblog things that were already on tumblr. Also, it's shockingly difficult to have a meaningful conversation on Tumblr, since you can't message people back and forth. All you can do is reblog things with a comment. Also, obligatory bitching about SJWs.

Reblogging with comment seems to be a good way to have a threaded conversation so I never really minded it. The problem with tumblr is for me the vulnerability. Whatever you post anyone can see, get offended and reblog with their own twist. It'd be nice to be able to have groups. I have a tumblr and I am one of those users taht instead of contributing sometime new I mostly do reblogs. I was hoping to sue it for my stuff but quite frankly I feel once again 'vulnerable' there. i don't trust the platform with my creations.

Now the main point Google Plus:

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Google+: PEOPLE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT SHIT. Like, for really real. It's basically just a web forum like this one, updated for the age of social networks. With circles you can control who gets to see your content, and with collections you can separate your content into groups for people to either follow, or not.

Here's the big downside, and the reason everybody thinks google+ is a ghost town: you've gotta actually have something to talk about. If you're just a vapid 20-something who wants to rack up the Internet Points for posting pictures of "feeling sexy today," then you're not going to find a bunch of other vapid 20-somethings to talk to. BUT, if you're the kind of interesting person who actually has a passion in life, you can find people to have a conversation with about that passion.

I think it depends on the people you follow, honestly. I joined Zelda groups and they are these polls and facebook style posts. So I don't really think they stopped just because they have to think about it. I do concede that it is way easier to convey long rants on G+ than in facebook as notes are kind of a side thing taht no one really cares for and the interface of facebook does favour short posts with some media, however while G+ doesn't do this doesn't mean they discourage it. Maybe it is because as a zelda webmaster I have in my circles people generally younger than me being the ones active.

In all honestly I think Google plus is a pretty cool social network but Google annoyed people by changing the YT interface by forcing people uninterested in the G+ part to make an account. That was a very bad start. The layout too gets sometime to get used to it so there is resistance from people who won't give it much of a chance.

I don't like Facebook itself but the one click login through an account is the main reason I have an account. Facebook was good in the beginning but they have been taking off options and it has become more openly geared towards business. It is no longer about connecting with people it is about using peer pressure to persuade you toward certain brands and opinions. Yet people get picky about alternatives. So far G+ seem less direct in their commercial side, so you can actually have the people being the main point rather than if they liked X product or something.

So yeah, we might differing in our reasoning but I agree G+ is the best one of the ones you mentioned. It could do with more support.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

I've never seen Animal Crossing, so the comedy here is hit and miss for me. But the animation is pretty damn impressive for a single animator working alone. Hot damn.

I think even with the context the funny element would be hit and miss. However it is not often I find a good flash argument on it. This person drew several of the real residents you can have in your town, tied the Villager called to Smash trailer and gave Isabelle an interesting flaw without being unthinkable. There are many AC details like the emotions you can use and see in the game.

In New Leaf You are the Mayor that walks into the City Hall. Isabelle is your assistant. Everytime you boot the game she 'talks' with you through the game options to start or edit something before starting your file. If you take a while before visiting again your town after the game loads your file she'd say that she filled into your shoes while you were away. So this flash is just a funny take on what would she do on her own.

I randomly found this Animal Crossing New Leaf parody and I thought I had to share it. :XD:

Geeze. I had no idea of such limit that is a real shame. I agree it wouldn't be good to take the episodes off.
For what is worth: Someone from the spanish side of the board was using IVOOX in the footer of the website you can change the language of the interface to English. Maybe that might be a better alternative to soundcloud.

Also very interesting discussion on Cowboy bebop. THis is the year I will watch it from start to finish. I have been pausing and starting over with friends but they don't really seem to care much for it, so I decided I owe it to myself as it is really in my bucket list.

The FF VII was pretty interesting discussion as well as the inspections on the techniques to be entertaining. @kilovh double thumbs up to you.

Depends on my mood my profile in SplatNet might give you an idea what I use.

I tend to favour the Octobrush Nouveau and the Dual Squelcher.
I like the Octobrush because it is not as wide as a roller the Nouveau version allows me to use some bombs, which allows me to play close or mid range with ease. In the original one, the sub was the beacons which were also useful but I am a terrible Kraken.

The Dual Squelcher is a far ranged shooter, so it won't take time to charge and you can get rid of people in semi-long range if you get to them before they get to you. Once again their sub is Splat Bombs with is good for mid range and since echolocator helps in no way with inking it lets me forget about filling the main gauge and just inking as much as I can.

I use a few other shooter. I haven't really tried much my hand at rolling as I think I would not be very good at it. I also like the blast shooters in theory but I am terrible with them. I am also lame with chargers as I am not as cool headed as I want to think I am. So I guess that leaves normal shooters and quick brushes for me. :XD:

Quote from ShiroMZM

What about making each color with a single letter depending de color like :g^_^: :b^_^: :r^_^: :v^_^: :d^_^: etc.

Oh, that is not the problem, I already imagined it'd be something like blueX redX and leave green as default. It is just the manually doing it to each of them.

What I meant by the last line was better ideas on how to implement the smilies you already created besides these two ideas. We could been missing the obvious.
Another use I was planning for them, is for the Zelda moods, similar to the ones in the Spanish side of the forum. But we probably should discuss that another time and in another thread.

Basically Shiro has gone already with the hard work of re-making each expressionof the original emoticons in the other 4 colours. The original idea was that when you opened the smilies box you would have each color in its own category, from where you can mix and match to your heart content in your messages.

The smilies themselves are not a very big file, so it is not the space the issue I might have with the original idea. The thing is that while uploading the images to the server can be done in bulk, I have to manually insert and give a command to each of them. Considering that the expressions are the same and just the hat colour changes, I raised some concern for the idea of having repeats.

So, I commented to @ShiroMZM the skin alternative. I think that I might be able to change the smile set depending the skin. Given the way the folders are layered it might be possible to have a different style carrying different smilies so long the smilie image keep the same name and extension. I have yet to prove this so chances are that won't be possible.

So here is where you come in. Do you like the idea of uploading and using the extra sets of Links?
Should I attempt to do the variation depending the skin?

What do you think?
Maybe you have a better idea on how to implement this.

Shoot! I have a lot of catch up to do. I am happy you guys are enjoying yourself so much.
If you don't mind me asking? What made you decide to go away from soundcloud and host the podcast yourself?
Also, are you planing to re-upload the first ones in your host?

Quote from ShiroMZM

I ended TFH and in the same day (and because the 20 000 messages on the other side of this place) I just download the first one because I never finished it and... never did nothing really

Congrats. Does that include the free extra dungeons update? If not, are you planning to try them out sometime?

Quote from Design&Trend

[SIZE=16px]Here are five things Link's next adventure must do to avoid fan disappointment.[/SIZE]

Oh, don't worry I am sure fans will find something to be disappointed no matter what.

1) Come Out On Wii U. Agreed. I often hear people bought the WiiU sorely in anticipation for this game even before the WiiU picked up its pace. If they were to completely remove that option.
2) Keep Link Silent Or Quiet. LOL! "What if Nintendo were to attach a personality to Link[...]?" Erm... I think it is safe to assume Link has developed some traits specially post-OoT. I like the current balance but I don't think Nintendo is even contemplating giving him complex dialog. link is grunts, calls and one liners. I don't think this one is even worth worrying about until Nintendo hints they are actually considering to change that. Even then, we should wait for the result before condemn it.
3) Don't Lock Too Much Behind Amiibo. Eh, so long they keep it optional and doesn't give an unjust advantage, it should be fine. I don't think Zelda Wii U will be the first Nintendo game to make the amiibo essential.
4) Have A Populated Overworld. I honestly don't see the amount of NPC as a problem as much as how they are handled.
5) Use Little To No Motion Controls. That is completely subjective. At least for me I don't care if they sue it or not so long they work well.

Quote from alakazam

Which of the 5 things mentioned in the article do you think is the most important one?

I think that coming out for the Wii U is the most important valid concern if only for the rising rumours. I don't think we're at risk of Nintendo forcing Amiibos or changing the personality of Link and judging by the latest demonstration of Aonuma with the gamepad, I think the motion controllers won't be around in the way they implemented it to SS.

Quote from ShiroMZM

I think there isn't much to be worried about because if they has announce a couple of times the release on Wii U... I guess it will be released on Wii U (and a dual release doesn't sound that bad)

Pretty good point. It would be really, really, bad but Nintendo has not in the sightless hinted they are even considering the dual launch. I guess all the rumours is the panicked fans with all the delays Zelda Wii U has been going through.

Quote from ShiroMZM

About amiibo I guess the action of the player with the game in physical media would be breaking the 4th wall and because of that breaking the History experience, that's something that the team would be thinking of

That's a good point. I don't think Nintendo would bring something to break the pace of the game too often and abruptly.

Quote from ShiroMZM

And the motion controls... c'mon, there's no Wii Mote supported in this game so with the gamepad how many motion control you think will be supported? I don't think they would use the gamepad like... sword :X'D: the pointing with the bow and arrows are enough and... all we can expect in that point.

I suppose that other than the gyro sensor in the gamepad so, I wouldn't expect anymore than what we already were able to do with double screen Zelda games.

Quote from ShiroMZM

Thinking a like bit may be some puzzle like the ball in the table with holes game... but then I though... this is not Wii Party U so it isn't gonna happen.

I wouldn't put it pass them. I think I recall some move the ball minigame in a Zelda game before, so they could pull some puzzle like that.

I think it is good to test, if only to know what are your options in case some other software goes sour.

From a member perspective I still like Xenforo more than IPB or Wotlab Burning boards but what the latest include sounds pretty good. At least with Xenforo, the base is more expensive and you most likely need to pay a lot extra to get the functionality of blog, gallery and resource that tWBB offer as part of their software. I don't know how it fares against IPB as I have never owned that one.

Quote from CM30

It also near enough killed my last site's community altogether...

This worries me. How did that happen? O_O

Quote from LinkSkywalker

I swear anytime somebody asks me to fix their slow computer, all I have to do is end the Chrome process and voila

:X'D: I agree with this. This is the first thing I do when the computer starts being slow. It used to be each function a tab but now it seem to linger or something because even with one tab I sometimes see a lot of Chrome processes. There was a time Chrome would crash a lot, and I had to switch to the "app" mode instead of desktop, which was annoying.

I really like the switch profiles and bookmark syncronization but it wouldn't be a bad idea to get out of my comfort zone and try again Firefox. I used to love Firefox until it became bloated, and would become really troublesome to me. It used to be so fast and smooth. Then Chrome had this simple and light display which I really liked. When I tried to go back again to Firefox it looked too similar to Chrome so I thought I might as well keep Chrome. I guess as time has keep going on and the browser updated Chrome has become way less effective nowadays.

Funny thing is that I have Opera, Chrome and Firefox, because I like to test code with them and to make easier to manage different accounts by keeping myself logged.

Guides? That sounds like the stuff we need for the website.
If you guys want to create guides that we can use in the website, feel free to do so in Web Drafts.
If you don't want to make guides for the website or simply want to review games, just post the them in the proper area for discussion about said game. If it is a Zelda review and other members like it I will stick the thread.

Leaving the pending status until I make the pre-fix.
Leaving the discussion open meanwhile.

Quote from ShiroMZM

No... just... no... doesn't make sense

But may be in a separated group like miscellaneous with other stuff... but, you can use it if you want,

This suggestion was given at at time when we had a pokemon website project and this forum would be divided between the two franchises. During taht time, the suggestion made sense but since then we have cancelled said project so it wasn't implemented.

Quote from ShiroMZM

I use different hat color Links made by myself 8-) (that last one is my favorite color).

Oh, yes, they are made to be added here sooner or later but meanwhile I use them

There is a funny thing I want to try with your smilies and taht is, I am wondering if it is possible that they vary depending what skin you choose, so for example red skin could have red hat link, green the skin hat and so on. I'd try that in the Spanish side first. Otherwise it sounds a bit too repetitive to have the exact same smilie set five times. Anyway, you could make a thread about it if you want opinions from others and we can discuss it there.

Hello everyone!

I received an invitation from Link. I didn't really lurk before joining, just jumped in.

Pleased to meet you and having you onboard!
I hope you enjoy the community. :D
