I want to show someone I care without becoming annoying through skype. I already started a conversation before so I don't know if I should pursue or just wait. I am in the waiting mode.

Heh. :XD:

I want yur Skype. I promise I'm not actually a 40 year old man. >w>

Breakfast or DINNER

I just re-bought Sonic Generations for the Xbox 360 to relive some of my memories from my 11th birthday. After replaying through it, I have come to the conclusion that it is one of my favorite games of all time.

Quote from Link

South Park and the Stick of Truth

Holy shit I completely forgot about this. Of course, I haven't had a chance to play it myself yet due to my parents being protective and shit, but they let me watch South Park now compared to a year ago, so I'll try asking them again. Hopefully I have enough money leftover from my birthday to get it. Also, South Park the Fractured Buthole (pr however the hell you say it) hype anyone?

Quote from LinkSkywalker

I think it's apt to make a comparison of the openings of Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess.

Ocarina of Time's opening is shorter, and most of the tutorial stuff is optional. A lot of the length in Twilight Princess opening comes from cutscenes that are wayyy too long, and that god damned fishing minigame that isn't even a little bit fun. Oh, and then there's the goat herding, which you have to do twice.

Zelda games aren't that complicated. Tutorials aren't really needed at all, and if they insist on including them, then they ought to keep them short.

There's also the issue of tone. How does Ocarina of Time begin? A fairy flies into your room and wakes you up shouting "SHIT IS GETTING REAL! GET YOUR ASS UP OUTTA BED! THERE'S BAD STUFF GOING ON! GO GET A SWORD! GO GET A SHIELD! NOW GET YOUR ASS INTO THE DUNGEON!"

The opening of OoT isn't perfect, but there's urgency there. Something is happening. There's adventure to be had.

In contrast, the opening of Twilight Princess includes:
1. Performing routine horse care.
2. Going to your day job.
3. Doing odd-jobs around town.
4. Being told that you're being entrusted with the ever-so exciting task of...a delivery job.

I've got at least 2 hours of gameplay time under my belt at this point, and the game has yet to pick up any steam. During the brief intermissions between cutscenes, I've yet to actually be allowed to swing a sword. There was some dumb thing about a bunch of kids I didn't care about getting captured, and I kept thinking "Okay, is this where I get to start playing the game? To save the kids?" But no, then they turn you into a dog. Which, whatever. I think it's dumb, but I'm not going to shit on the idea. It was an odd choice, an experimentation, kudos to them for trying something. Unfortunately, they fucked it up. The jingle-jangle of that god-damned chain around your leg is ear-bleedingly maddening. Midna is somehow even more annoying than Navi ever was. And blah blah blah, boring story boring story, something about light spirits, then I got to fight a few guys as a dog. The introduction cutscenes for the enemies took longer than the actual fight against those enemies did. Bleeeeeeeeeeeeerg.

I'm really hoping I can eventually get SOMETHING out of this game. (Well, something other than the self-important feeling I get from hating something as hard as I hate Twilight Princess so far).

I agree, the game's introduction is way too long, but once you play through it enough, you'll be swinging swords and (if you're like me, raging cause you keep dieing.) It's not the best Zelda game, but I like it.

Does Until Dawn count? If so, then omg yesssss. Until Dawn is one of the best horror games I've seen in a while.

I've never played Chrono Trigger.

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Yeah, random encounters are a relic of tabletop RPGs. They work great in those games, they do their job. But they work because of an intelligent human game referee, and because of tactical infinity. In a CRPG? They're a miserable slog.

Going to get off topic for a second. What the hell is a CRPG?

When is the new Spider-Man movie coming out, and when am I going to see it. .-.

Quote from Kaynil

Not counting the Spanish online presence.... I have been in so many places that it is hard to account for all of them and I am sure I will miss remember some and even omit important ones.
Do not take the years as absolutes by any means. This is list is so long taht I guess not many will read it all, hahah.

1998~ We got our first computer. I only used google a few times and clinged to the few websites I found. I didn't know how to set bookmarks so I just would use google to find the same zelda sites. We had misconceptions about MSN and talking with Strangers. As I learned more about computers through school I felt more confident about the forums. I remember I read the description for a forum and I wanted to be part of it. I gathered all what i could to ensure my parents it was safe and be granted permission.

2000 - 2003? - HCA - Hyrule.Com.Ar was the first website I arrived back in the year 2000 short of graduating middle school and entering highshool. It took me a year to convince my father to let me create an account. I was a complete n00b not understanding netiquette concepts. I came up with Kaynil and started using since then. Admired some people from there and I felt like I belonged even though it was a once sided thing. I was trying to fit and still struggling to communicate my ideas in English so I can only imagine how much of a spammer and annoyance I probably was back then.

2002 - 2005 Ganon's Tower - This became the refuge when HCA fell due hackers and server problems. Many members migrated and remained there for years. It became more of a casual chat place than zelda community. kept in touch with some members and finally got the courage to approach Zelda King in a more effective way. I made some friends and kept the friendship with some others. HopeNForever and Link1512 are two names that resonate along an awesome dracula themed moderator who helped me. I remember I said he was nice and he said with a wink to keep it a secret given his reputation. he made my day so much. It was as if a superhero had noticed me. I was used to staff cold shoulders so it wa refreshing for me.

2002 - 2006? The Sacred Realm - I just remember posting in HCA a heartfelt post being because of Dt7 leaving after getting in a fight with another member (I kind of remember the fight and I remember the other member was also someone I got along in the forum games area), said member PMed afterwards and linked me to two communities he was active the CAN (C-something... Anime Network) and TSR. The Sacred Realm was an eye opener to my concepts of Staff versus normal members and making genuine bonds. I was used to cold staff here they were all warm and part of the community. I wasn't dismissed I was patiently explained my most stupid doubts. It was there where I could ask anything, where I felt my opinion was worth something and where I was challenged to reason why I supported certain opinion. While it was a Zelda/FF community I remember more the members athn the topics themselves. I met great people and I am happy I can be honoured with their presence in this very community. Members like @LinkSkywalker, @Kaltaka, @'zilla, @kilovh... and probably someone else I might be forgetting about (sorry sorry sorry)!

December 2001 - 2003? - The Great Deku Tree - Somehow one day I wasn't supposed to be on I got added through MSN on a weird group conversation mostly between forum admins. Attrox was complaining of his board being inactive. loving zelda boards I said I would join. I was expecting a simple suddenlaunch type of forum instead I found an active and intimidating vB community. I joined purely because I said I would. Went to forum games. I met @Sardonic Pickle there. I remember some cool users but I never made as big roots as my friend did there.

2003~2004 GamersCrossFire - Informal community run by Zelda King. it was actually pretty nice and served as refuge from other zelda communities. the members were united and full of inside jokes I couldn't understand. I might be misspelling the name (sorry). Today I still keep in touch with him through Miiverse but other than that we don't really talk often.

2003~2005 Hyrule The Land of Zelda or HTLOZ - On GXF I learned of HTLoZ and to my delight found members from everywhere reunited there. I couldn't make many memories but the members made the stay worth it.

2004-2006? The Anubis Boards - Invited by KK who was invited by another member from GT I got pulled into a forum like no other I have ever stepped into. There were unique categories and topics being created. Back then the admins were a couple with a specific dynamic. The man was a vocal and even coming across as rude person. The dictator of the forum where his word was law. the lady was the sweetest friendliest girl you can imagine that always cared for people and made her best to make us have a good time. She also posted a lot, and I mean a lot. Stressing over making sure the forum was active coming up with anything at the top of her head. I made some deep bonds at the Anubis boards, some just as deep as I did in TSR. Eventually there was a big conflict involving Staff, members took sides and the place was deleted without any warning. It was just gone. So we were left in the air. From the conflict stances and the desire to remain united two communities were created that kind of worked as a clique at first. Eventually things settled down and they relaxed and became open again. They were both very different. I ended up sticking in the Desert Lullaby.

2003~2006 Zelda Dimension - I think I met @Akiranon from there. It was a pretty cool community. I remember the admin was Henry N. I wonder how is he doing. It was pretty fun. I don't remember many names but I remember that place meant something very special to me. It was also were a friend of mine confessed a crush on me first through the boys only thread and then to me. They wanted to know if I had accepted him but I was still in denial with my own feelings and deflected him.
Henry N also got in a relationship and both were in charge of the community. I feel awful I cannot recall her name even though she was so nice with me.

2005~ Zelda Community / Zelda Cavern / Zelda Fortress - To be honest I don't remember many details on how I arrived and how I became staff and which merges I witnessed. It was the first time I was ever trusted in a position of staff and while I don't feel I contributed much, it was great being part of a team. I had become more vocal and confident in my English but I was still pretty much hammering myself down with self doubts.

2006 ZeldaGamers - The refugee I ran when several communities fell one after another. Zelda Dimension close their doors for good as the webmasters had lost the passion that drove them years ago with Zelda. Made new friends, kept in touch with others and they were my support for my Long Distance Relationship.

2006~ Final Fantasy Paradise . Some peeps from Hylian Hero kept mentioning FFP and eventually through PM I was invited to check it out. The friendly atmosphere enchanted me. I first joined as Dark Rinku but the dissonance between my old avatar and the sweet name calling as they knew I was a girl ended up making me feel uncomfortable enough to ask for the name change to Kaynil. I followed the place from its first version to the split back in the third version. While Version 2 was cool many members didn't like that some of the new things added to entice activity seemed to rise Spam. Other problems arose but even with that

2006? Dessert Lullaby - The continuation of TABs became quickly a second home for us. It was like the ToH. A bunch of people that came close in another community that they lost. They tried mainly to keep in touch and take the opportunity to make something unique out of it. DL was that place I could visit anytime and people would remember you, care for you and be interested in what have you been up to. they were encouraging and at the same time spoke to you bluntly on how they felt.

2008? Advertise Hotspot - I don't remember exactly how I ended up in this community. I think it was forum hopping. I found Forumansion and while intimidated I was curious about the forum currency and the services. FM started going downhill and I checked other similar niche communities, enchanted by a zone to talk about your forum experiences. AH stood up. I liked the webmaster he seemed quite caring, young and yet energetic, always advertising his place and having ideas for contests and stuff. It was great. Being a promotion forum there was a zone where members could review other people's websites. I tried to review one and went as usual too long in my reply, but Joel thought I was good material for Reviewer so i joined the staff team as a Reviewer. It was fun and the team was cool. Eventually I switched to becoming a packager alternating between being a packager there and in other forums that were starting. I tried to bring the concept to the spanish speaking forums but I wasn't committed enough and failed. AH had some hiccups, including some nasty rumours about the webmaster. He had always been kind to me, to the point that not only did he provide dme with advise as I opened about my Spanish Zelda community, he bought a domain and pushed it to me. He also had shown signs of being naive giving too much money to someone who never paid him back. Anyway AH was coming back and he was making an event out of its relaunch... The relaunch was delayed and suddenly he disappeared. Then things came to the open. That webmaster had been using stolen cards to pay for goods. He had been caught. A few weeks later AH was gone. Half a year later the domain he gave me was taken because of his deeds. My only options were to either pay his debt or just wait for it to expire and be back into the market again. I forfeit it.

After that I joined other communities I found mainly through Forum Promotion but I didn't really strike a deep community. I had great places to chill and pretty nice times but I was way less involved than before.

2014? - The 3DSpedia - A good member from ForumPromotion PMed regarding a project he had and asked me if I wanted to be part of it. I was thrilled but also was the time when I wasn't doing very well with my job and stuff. I was stressed but I wanted to be part of it. I saw it coming out and progress but not because of me. I tried to be there and do some game reviews and posts. I kept failing. I honestly feel very embarrassed about it. I wish I had done more. last thing I committed was the MM remake. Although I made it it was a lot later and it was rushed. I am not sure if they even published. I didn't exactly tried to get their attention. After that I feel to ashamed of myself to even visit despite that i know fair well they are all very understanding, encouraging and friendly and wouldn't wish me anything bad. They were great I just feel like a complete failure.

2014? Zelda Sanctuary - I helped for a while with the news and compiling the news. I figured having a responsibility to post news would help me with my Spanish community too for ideas and news. Things worsened at work and moving out and life and gah. I really could help as much as I potentially could have five years ago. It was still a nice return to a Zelda community and to some forum peeps I had not seen in years. Sadly ZS suffered from the same symptoms as its predecessor ZT and it edned up being removed at some point. Currently the webmaster has another forum going for her projects and even if some of the people from the past community made it it is nowhere as active as ZS was.

2015 Zelda Cavern. - Here we are. In the short while we've been around I am already more than comfortable opening up in this place and having even some of the people I have met through the Spanish Speaking communities here brings me immense pleasure. @ShiroMZM , @Dlink, @Firedri are some of the people that helped and made some fond memories with our Spanish hangout.

Thank you all for being here. This place, this project and having you together means a lot to me. I am sorry if I am not leading with the example with activity but don't think I am bored or unmotivated to work here. The alliance with @Link for the opportunity to help with this community closes a full circle in what I've dreamt to do and the friends I have around. You guys are awesome for making this place what it is is. It is going well and I can only hope we keep growing and making more memories and fun times.

After reading this, it came to my head that we need to make more memories. I mean, let's do things right now that we will remember forever. We can all think of a way to stay in contact with one another just in case something happens. Sorry for getting off-topic, I just really wanted to say this.

Quote from Kaynil

Competetive Pokemon is quite interesting but I don't thinK I have the patience for it. I haven't really finished a pokemon game in such a long time.
I am still playing Pear and I am super tempted to restart it but I need to get a partner to help me save some of my dear babies before I do the reset. I kind of want to start the file as a boy...

Pokemon Pear is my favorite Pokemon game.

Quote from Cressel

@The Inhaling One if you don't reply I will be very sad

Yo dude so there's no place to randomtlk pokemon so I though I might as well make one and rant or something.

Has anyone tried to breed a 5IV Lucario? what a pain having to evolve this lil pup just to be able to breed it wow. I'm currently trying to breed one, going Crunch, Blaze Kick, Bullet Punch because why the hell not but oh man it's gonna take some time.

Do you have any team you like? Pokemon you use that are usually underused? Iunno but I have this Mega Houndoom team I really like.

Mega Kanga is dumb.

I replied. I hope you are happy. x3

I've actually started to get more into competitive battling. I'm using Pokemon Showdown for it, though.

Perfect Zygarde makes me shit.

I'm only 14 (15 in November) at the moment, so I haven't been to many forums, but I can put some down that have had a big impact on me.

• Sonic Paradox - I joined this forum in 2009, and stayed until 2010. When I was about 9, I went into this huge Sonic the Hedgehog obsession, and I was only on the internet for things related to Sonic only. I then came across the series Sonic Shorts, and I joined my forum. I was banned after being on there for about 6 months, due to my child mind. I was angry about it before, but I don't care anymore, because I now completely understand their point: Kids do not belong on forums.

• Vizzed - I joined this forum in 2011 and stayed until early 2015. This forum is definitely my favorite forum of all time. I was going through some suicide thoughts and hard times during last year, and this site was the only thing that brought my spirit up. But then, on one fateful day, I let those feelings get to me and I went out of control. I got into an argument with some members, and I made the dumb decision to post porn in the chat. I regret the decision. It was unecessary and immature. After that, I got banned. It really messed me up, what happened, but I do still keep in contact with some of the friends I had on there through Steam, and they all forgive me. It took me a while to get over it, but I'm fine now and have changed my ways.

• Zelda Cavern - I joined this forum quickly after I got banned on Vizzed, and I'm still here. This forum has a wonderful community, and it makes me feel like I'm back at Vizzed. I was brought here alongside my friend Pekachew, who has actually left the site. I am currently a mod of this site, and I am honored to have this title. Although it's a small community at the moment, I'm sure it will grow exponentially in due time. (Love you all)

• PokeCommunity - I joined this forum a few days ago, and I'm still on there. This is the most recent forum I have joined, and I love it. One of my friends from Vizzed brought me to it, and I'm thankful he did. There are a ton of members, and it's always active. Nothing important has really happened yet, so I may update this post when something happens on there.

You will need to go to the ghetto to find a Jynx. LOL shes prolly banging Mr. Popo.

Don't forget female Mr. Mime.

Confession - I've never played a Star Fox game before. (Actually, that would make sense, because Nintendo decided that it would be a good idea to wait for my whole childhood to end until they make another one!)

I don't understand how this thing will work out, but it looks amazing and I REALLY want it NOW. (That post makes me seem like a spoiled 10 year old girl....)

This picture is September 2015's Corocoro issue, and shows multiple forms of Zygarde. The green blob looking thing is basically Zygarde's core, and the dog looking thing to the right of it is Zygarde's 10% form. To the right of that is the Zygarde as we know him in Pokemon X and Y. And to the right of that is Zygarde in his Perfect Form. I don't know what this all means, but it's basically telling us that Pokemon Z is confirmed.

There have been countless games made in the Final Fantasy series, and I want to know which one is your favorite. My favorite is, no doubt about it, Final Fantasy 7 for the PS1. Holy shit, I love this game. No explanation is needed as to why I love this game so much.
