I cried during my first-time viewing of Titanic, in 2015 if memory serves. I don't think I need to specify what part did the job, anyone who's seen the film can guess.
I don't play cards as often as I used to, though mostly because I don't have any friends nearby to play with. My father taught me quite a few games and I used to play with him all the time. I'm a poker man myself, though I also play blackjack and eights. As far as poker goes, my games of choice...
"Nasty Grant" is a boss from Castlevania III, and Lesley is my character's name which I chose because I always thought it sounded pretty. I liked the contradiction of a negative adjective followed by a pretty name and so I stuck with it.
I had to toss a coin, I was torn between Kokiri and Forest Minish. They're both such perfect fairy tale races in my book and so wonderfully mysterious.
I'm not sure what the proper name of the dish is or if it even has a proper name in the first place but my mother used to make a wonderful pasta salad with shell noodles, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic & peppers. That would probably be my favorite dish. I've never been able to...
I believe I was 14 when I pirated Mortal Kombat 4 and started playing it on Project64. I was very squeamish back in those days, blood and gore repulsed me but I wanted to push my limits and see what I could put up with.
I burn water, so my fiancee does the cooking in our household. The good news is she's a culinary wizard so I'm in good hands. She's managed to make me like dishes that I always hated.
I rather love my job. It's nothing impressive, I am but a lowly cashier working for minimum wage but it's honest work and it seems every week I come home with a story. My bosses are so incredibly kind and sweet to me, they borderline treat me like I'm their son. They've given me homecooked...
The highlights from under my tree were some much needed socks and slippers from the missus, a big ol' bottle of cheap wine from myself, Super Smash Bros. Brawl complete in box from my BFF as well as Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge complete in box also from my BFF. I've been spoiled this year.
Here's one I've been getting a lot from customers recently.
"You needs the radio on!"
Somehow these people don't notice the headphones, they just think I'm in the habit of wearing a funky-looking hairband over my hat I suppose. Moreover if I want to work in silence that's my own business, I'm...
Despite it being considered by many to be the peak of one of my very favorite franchises, I have a hard time playing Super Metroid.
Now this definitely isn't because it's a bad game by any means, it gets so many things right but after playing Fusion, Zero Mission and Samus Returns I cannot for...
Personally I'm fine with Link staying how he is, I've never felt that the character I'm playing as has to look like me in order to identify with him. I'm neither female nor attractive and yet I can absolutely get behind an attractive female like Samus as a playable character for instance.
I'm not sure I can answer this one without sounding like I'm kissing my own aft but I'll sure try!
I tend to have a very positive attitude and am very difficult to anger or to make panic.
The first that I can remember with any clarity was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I thank God every day that I was blessed to experience that decade of cinema.
I first moved out of my father's house in 2017 when my ex-girlfriend asked if I wanted to live with her and her fiancee in St. John's. I had been looking for work for some time and I figured it would be easier to find in the city so I took her offer and not long after I was flipping burgers at...
"We must strive to be more than we are. It does not matter that we will not reach our ultimate goal. The effort yields its own reward."

"With the first link the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom...
How do I cope with spoilers? Therapy of course!
Jokes aside I mostly just avoid social media until I'm caught up.
Generally I deal with people who spoil things by tossing out some passive-aggressive/sarcastic remark to give them the hint.
"Gee, that would've been lovely to not know! Thanks!"...
My lady and I both seem to have somewhat different definitions of "tidy", her standards seemingly being rather higher than mine. I'm generally satisfied if the floor is clear and anything not to be used in the immediate future is stored in a logical place. Her version of "tidy" would pass at the...
This happened last night so I'm stretching the whole "made me happy today" thing but there's a resident in my town who is rather infamous for her less-than-legal antics to put it mildly, a very troubled woman. She was recently caught on camera robbing peoples' cars and houses, just to give you...
I spend much of my alone time brainstorming and rehearsing quips and one-liners to use on people later. Occasionally I'll imagine how somebody might respond and suddenly I'm having a very witty conversation with absolutely nobody.
This is going to make me seem like an old man but I use a Nokia 225. I could never get behind touch screens on phones, always preferred actual buttons/keys on my phones. Call me a luddite.
My favorite dungeons are probably (in no particular order) the Forest and Shadow Temples in Ocarina of Time, Stone Tower Temple in Majora's Mask, the Snowpeak Ruins and Palace of Twilight in Twilight Princess and the Temple of the Ocean King in Phantom Hourglass. The theme and presentation of a...
I get plenty of dumb comments on the regular but it's usually a new one each time. There is one recurring dumb comment (or rather a question) that springs to mind for me:
"That's a cute cross! Are you a Christian?"
No madam, I'm just a big fan of crucifixion.
Now perhaps it's a bit harsh of...
When I was a lad I had action figures of Young Zelda and Impa as they appeared in Ocarina of Time. I seem to recall them coming with a white horse but my memory is rather fuzzy. Unless we count Amiibo that's all I've ever owned in the way of Zelda toys.
I still play Mario Kart and Mario Party with my fiancee but that's about the only splitscreen multiplayer I get to play regularly. Unfortunately I live too far away from all of my friends to play local multiplayer with them. I only ever get out to my hometown on very special occasions like...
Michael Jackson in the '80s and early '90s (God rest his soul), Don Dokken in the '80s. As far as present day celebrities go, Robert Pattinson's a bit on the cute, I thought Hailee Steinfeld was pretty in Bumblebee. Can't really think of any others that jump out at me at the moment.
I can, though obviously not as effectively as I could with two. In addition the speed at which I type and number of mistakes I make depend on which hand I use. Using my right hand only is nightmarishly slow compared to my left, which is odd seeing as I'm right-handed.
I was being hyperbolic when I likened the Breath soundtrack to an intern poking a piano but I feel it does adequately convey my problem with the approach to the game's soundtrack. I much prefer the traditional approach to Zelda soundtracks, I find them much more memorable and engaging to listen to.
Thank you! I also play it at conventions whenever I can go. I remember one time there was a lady holding a seminar on ocarinas at a convention and while everybody was waiting for it to start, I was playing away on one of my ocarinas. The lady who was hosting the seminar asked me if I'd do a...
To show my appreciation for the Zelda series I post on the ZeldaDungeon forums.
Jokes aside though, I don't really do much to broadcast my love of the series. I don't wear any merch (or really own any merch for that matter).
I play the ocarina outside sometimes when the weather permits it. A few...
Rayman 3 makes a fairly explicit reference to the series in a cutscene in which Andre the black lum shoves a fairy, saying: "Bug off, fairy! Zelda needs you!"
I'm frightened by the changing world. Many things I used to always take for granted as always being there are vanishing. Just recently a very popular magazine here in my home province went out of print. Its final issue was commemorating the life of the woman who had been on our money since...
Just recently watched The Boys: Season 3. I generally enjoyed it and found some of its social commentary to be very well-executed (though not all of it was quite so graceful). As was the case with the previous two seasons the characters on the show are quite well written and even better acted. I...
That was the plan with Breath of the Wild but they delayed it so much that I think in the end they decided to make it a dual release to give the Switch a strong launch title.
