  • Greater than OoT?

    OoT WAS a good game in that it spawned the 3d Zelda idea but, my all-time fav is still ALTTP. TP will be a good one for its interactivity and revolutionary controlls but it's still hard to tell wether it will be a good game before it's even out...

  • Elements of Fury

    Intro:
    Long ago, in the vastness that would someday be Hyrule, an enity lived among the runes of an ancient civilization, the Lhyans. Many say it is from the Lhyans that the Hylians and Shiekah descended. The Shiekah gain their magic from the ancient scrolls of mana passed down from Lhyan elder to elder, whereas the Hylians were granted their wisdom from the many scholars possessed by the Lhyan culture. All this matters not, as the culture has ceased to exist for thousands of decades.

    In great times of war, the Lhyan people would turn to their Sanctuary where the physical forms of the elements were kept: Earth, Fire, Water, Light, Darkness, Wind, and Ice. It was ona basis of mutuality that the people stayed alive and the elements could stay safe from harms way, but all this seemed to change when a great war broke out between the Lhyanes and the Element of Darkness which, when held in the wrong hands, could reach no limit of power.

    Sadly, the civilization died out, along with the ability to harness the elements for the good of mankind. Nobody survived except for one woman who, after much toil and hardship, managed to place her baby in a protective realm before she too passed away.

    Years later, after Hyrule became known, a woman and her husband are seen walking through the forest when the wife stumbled on a rune stone. This stone resembled a doorknob in so many ways that, when the lady tripped on it, a magical light filled the area, and when it faded, a young baby boy was crying under the willowing bows of a nearby tree...

  • The importance of being honest

    Everybody is aware of the whole downside to lying, and when we were all children I'm sure most of s got punished if, heaven forbid, we ever fibbed to our parents...But what about fibbing to your consumers?

    Everywhere we go now-a-days you see products being ripped from others and marketed as an original idea. This generally p!$$3$ me off! How many times have you walked into a grocery store only to find that the genuine cereal you eat every morning has been ripped off by a lesser, more inexpensive company only to find out it's the exact same thing? I can deal with shady cereal, but when it comes to my VG's, I can get pretty testy.

    My main topic for this article spawned roughly 1 years ago with the dawning of the Sony Playstation, which we can all agree on, was a fine piece of technology. It did everything we could think of back in 1996: Play highly defined (*cough*laugh*cough*) video games, it could play music, heck, it even boasted 2 player 3D adventures!! It was a widely acclaimed system everybody was dishing their money towards. Then came THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

    Before long, Nintendo released information on a state-of-the-art gaming system, the Nintendo 64. The big surprise to this system: the Analog Joystick. This wonderful little stick rotated by your thumb was Nintendo's crowning achievement in the field of technology at the time, and everybody wanted to get their thumbs on it.
    Sony soon realized Nintendo's newfound spike in system sales and decided to do the unholy: Steal the Analog idea.

    Although Nintendo was first to announce it, Sony was first to put it on the market, and claimed the idea as their own. This soon sparked a rivalry between Nintendo and Sony which, to this date, has never yet been beaten.

    Sony continued to bite off Nintendo as the years flew by. With the birth of the Gamecube camed wireless controllers whic Sony also claimed for their own. Their newest theft: The Handheld industry with the PSP. Not only did they rob Nintendo from their handheld pedistal, but they also robbed them of their Revolutionary wifi gameplay. What's next for Sony to steal? A certain trademark plumber?

    One board meeting and 3 lawsuits later, Sony and Nintendo both still equip their controllers with analog sticks their controllers with wireless, and their handhelds with WiFi, but I very much doubt they speak to each other anymore, even at Thanksgiving...(Humour)
