#1 A Link to the Past - ITS SO GOOD.
Eternal Darkness is the most criminally under-rated game I've ever played, if you have a GC you should definately buy a copy, can't be more than 10$
I think OOT has actually been in the top3 of *every* top 100 I've ever seen lmfao.
Doesn't Darky and I look ever so similar? :]
The games themselves I found very mediocre, when they were supposed to be earth shatteringly good. :[
I think its probably an annoying feature on the surface to non-competitive gamers, but once you get a group of excelent tekken players in a room, who are tournament calibur and know what they are doing, the effectiveness of grappling becomes much more an artform of playing the game, rather than a cheap tactic. SSBM USA/JaP versions have chain throwing as Marsh/Shiek, a lot of people consider it rather unfair.
Because I've been playing Zelda since I was four years old (I am now 20) I feel as though I have the absolute authority on every Zelda. Ehem - Top 3 1. The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past 2. The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time 3. The Legend of Zelda - Wind Waker Honorable mentions - The original GameBoy Color Zelda game was actually quite good, despite its abusive glitches from time to time. The Wii zelda was good, but it didn't give me that "Zelda feel" I want from a zelda game. EDIT: Majora's Mask is probably tied with wind waker on that list.
It was sort of like this for me, except that I realized I was just watching a movie but I held down the X button and moved the thumbstick around for 10 hours. Waste-of-time.
I really with activision didn't aquire Blizzard entertainment. It just makes me wonder about the stability of...gaming.
Defiance ohio is completely amazing in every way. :]
FB not close.
I love you George!!! <3
I can't say I'd group chuck pahalnuk outside of most shock writers, He's ok in general, but some of it is either poorly written or just written seemingly for the intrinsic value of being weird. I've only read three or so books by him though. SH5 is a completely amazing book in every regard however. I absolutely adore it.
Just curious to see if anyone has read things that are on more of a college level/adult level of liturature and what you thought of them. I'm talking about writers like Kurt Vonnegut, Haruki Murakami, Thomas Pynchon, Walt Whitman, Ayn Rand, Hemmingway, Kafka and soforth. This excludes such lovely modern books such as Twilight, Harry Potter, or anything you can buy on the shelves at a wal-mart. I personally just finished The Trial by Kafka for the 2nd time and I really enjoyed the 2nd go through it more than the first. I've found that to be a trend with his writing.
You can't blame outside elements like games and link them to depression, shootings, etc. At the end of the day, its people who make lifestyle choices and descisions. Any adverse mental effects from gaming are probably the same ones you can get from sitting around on your computer/watching TV all day.
I've met a lot of people who've smoked weed in my life, and a lot of people who drank alcohol. I'd trade their legalization in a second. People go out and drink and drive when they get smashed - along with other potentially violent activity, and just general unpleasantness. When people get high they just watch family guy and eat potatoe chips. I've never been drunk, high, smoked a cigaratte, anything (and I'm 20) but I can tell just by reaction that I'd much rather everyone be high than drunk, not close.
don't follow the croud - Soul Silver baby!
I don't want to be disapointed a third time - I won't be following this.
The whole who created god thing...I don't think it matters, at all. The idea of a singular god is that he is singular, and has existed always. There isn't a way to explain or rationalize it, it just is what it is - its part of having faith.
I find it insulting as an Atheist that you presume that I don't have faith. I have faith in my beliefs that there is no god, and that is just as large of a commitment to my beliefs as you have. With that being said - I find the idea of organized religion largely corrupt, but respect the opinions and beliefs that are fundamental to those groups. I feel that any religeous gathering that wants money from the worshipers, or guilt people into doing things they don't want to because the origination thinks its right are corrupt. As far as illogicality goes, I think that there isn't anything particularly illogical about the idea of believing in a god. I think morals are good, and a nice guideline for people. I just think that the things depicted in religious texts are those of fairy tales. Burning bushes, water into wine, etc - it just smells like fiction to me, I don't buy it. Simple as that. I'm not ruling out the possibility of there being a higher power, but I'm not about to blindly worship something I know nothing about either.
