Grats!

The first few days always kinda suck for me, but it's nice to be in an environment you're already comfortable with.

I really want to play Bravely Default. I finally do have a 3DS, but the game itself is pretty expensive.

We got old, Kaynil.

I don't know if I should feel good, or bad about winning a game about lacking life experiences on a forum full of people significantly younger than I am.

Have the controls for GTA games gotten any better? The last one I played was Vice City, and the combat was really frustrating. Moving and shooting at the same time should not be that hard.

I've hardly been able to make time for any games lately. The last time I sat down with a game was a few rounds of Atlas Reactor this past weekend.

About two months ago I accidentally set a small picture of a starfield as my wallpaper, and it did this ugly tile effect across my two monitors. I've been too lazy to fix it, so it's still that.

I doubt I'll ever use IE, just because of personal biases and a distaste for big tech. That being said, their newest versions have been performing really well. With some tasks they've actually been top performer.

I'm still at 4, but nobody else has posted a "Never have I ever..." since the one that I posted, so I probably shouldn't post another one.

Good luck to anyone who tries it!

I'm sure I've rage quit a few games. I can't think of any games that I full on rage quit and never played again, but I've certainly dropped out of a few online matches where things were hardcore not going my way and I was angry about it. It's not something I'm proud of.

I did quit both Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy 8 pretty much at the end of the game when I ran into some fucked up, unbeatable situation. But I still love both of those games.

Neither do I,
Never have I spent more than 4 dollars at a gas station

That puts me to 4.

Never have I slept with a dog

Neither have I.

Never have I ever beaten a Zelda game that came out after Wind Waker.

Where do you want to move to?

Can't believe I didn't think to post this here.

I've got LttP pretty much memorized at this point, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. It's a testament to how replayable the game is, but it also means that there's very little challenge left in the game for me. I can't really go back and replay it anymore.

Fortunately, there's a ROMHack for that! You download the program and it will generate a randomized version of the game for you as a ROM file. One of the very first chests I opened in the game had the Hookshot in it, which was pretty neat.

As I said, it's only semi-randomized. So, for example, the big key for every dungeon is always in a chest inside that dungeon, in an area you can access without needing the big key. So far it seems like they've done an excellent job ensuring that none of the randomized files are unbeatable, but that doesn't mean they're easy at all. I had to spend a good few hours scouring the overworld for chests after the first dungeon because I didn't have the Book of Mudora (required for Dungeon 2) or the Magic Mirror (Required for Dungeon 3+). I eventually found the Mirror and the Moon Pearl in a pair of chests right next to one another in a random little cave on Death Mountain.

The ROM is a Japanese language version of the game, so you won't understand any of the text. But if you've played the game enough times for this to interest you in the first place, you probably don't need to read any prompts to know what to do next. Being the Japanese language version also means there are some mechanical changes that took me awhile to figure out, so watch out for those.

So far I've beat dungeons 1, 3, and 5. Beating dungeon 5 with so few hearts and the starter sword was a good challenge. I'm not sure yet where I want to go next. I have the fire rod, the hammer, and the magic powder, so maybe I'll go get 1/2 magic and do the ice palace? It's gonna be a good time.

If nothing else, Ian McKellen is playing Cogsworth.

Here's the trailer:

Off the cuff I think it actually looks kinda decent. Not good enough to break my rule for, but decent.

It's getting a March release, so take that as you will. Neither a Summer Blockbuster, nor a November/December Oscarbait film.

Opening the Nintendo 64 on Christmas morning still stands out in my mind as a pretty big one.

I've got a rule about remakes.

I don't watch them.

Of course, whether or not its a remake depends on whether it's using the Disney film as source material or not. Most of Disney's classics are just classic stories in general, and it's ironically one of the few things Disney doesn't own. So if somebody wants to draw on the same source material, then they've certainly got the opportunity to tell a good story. But since the Disney films are the iconic version of these stories at this point, it's unlikely that you're going to see a Cinderella film that isn't some kind of reaction to the Disney feature.

By the by, Beauty and the Beast is getting a live action film, if I recall.

My collection went into storage around August of 2015, and I've only just started putting it out again. It's really disorganized and ugly, so I'll see if I can find an old picture.

I don't have any experience with assembly myself, but good luck mate. Look forward to seeing the finished product!
