    Your trapped in the last game you played, How screwed are you?

    It's kind of hard to say. The town of Silent Hill is a predator that lures in people with deep, unresolved traumatic pasts. It latches onto that trauma and manifests your own little slice of hell as it feed you through a psychological meat grinder, after which you either learn to move on from...

    Thoughts on EoW's Final Boss Fight

    An even bigger ball with a bunch of gangling arms sticking off. :eek:

    Dumb comments you often see or hear

    Well, Idiocracy is more a movie about eugenics. It didn't mean to be one, but it ended up being one.

    Thoughts on EoW's Final Boss Fight

    I got that vibe, but it didn't really do much for me. Tri themselves was already just kind of a ball, so being a bigger ball just doesn't make for interesting boss design to me.

    Thoughts on EoW's Final Boss Fight

    I enjoyed the spectacle of it. It was nice to have a good old slugfest with the final boss alongside Link. Heck, it was finally nice to see Zelda, usually little more than a background character in her own franchise, taking a prominent role in the final battle. I liked the different phases and...

    Do you use the [redacted]?

    I unlocked the first one and then ignored the mechanic. It just felt weird to include an optional and expendable summon when you could just pop out three electric chu-chus and do the same thing ad nauseam.

    What should the next Zelda game be about

    I'd go with something a little more melancholy that reflects on the 40-year struggle between Link and Ganon. If it were me, I'd write a game that endeavors to humanize Ganon for once before killing him permanently. It'd be a game about not just killing Ganon, but freeing him from Demise. Wrap a...

    Elon Musk does the impossible

    It's never been considered impossible. It was looked into before and shelved almost exclusively because of cost.

    Is Anyone getting the Nintendo Alarmo?

    For $100 an alarm clock had better cook me dinner and massage my feet. ...so, no.

    What BOTW kingdom would win a all out war

    The Gorons don't, but they have natural super strength and the ability to dig through solid rock. Cutting one would be like trying to slice a rock with a kitchen knife.

    What BOTW kingdom would win a all out war

    Each kingdom subsection is pretty weak. No individual domain maintains a standing military force, nor does it seem like any of them host accomplished fighters. If it really came down to it then I'd put a soft bet on the Gorons. They seem to be lava proof, meaning they're made of such dense and...

    Nintendo Franchises That Lack a Coherent Vision

    I could see that, but there's absolutely a desire for another Star Fox game. The space combat and space flight genre remains a steadfast one. The only real thing hampering Star Fox in my mind is Nintendo's inability to produce a new game in the franchise without tying it to some garbage control...

    Nintendo Franchises That Lack a Coherent Vision

    I don't really understand Nintendo's inability to understand Star Fox. It feels like a franchise that they deliberately a hamper so that they can justify not releasing another game. Internally I'm sure that Star Fox Zero is used as financial justification for why a new Star Fox game is a bad...

    ocarina of time remake

    Well, we have one remake and just a graphical one at that. When I think remakes I tend to think of going from something like this to something like this I'd see it as making the game you would have made if you'd the time and technology back then that you do now.

    Nintendo Will the Next Console have Music?

    Does the Switch eshop load faster? I swear it chugged on my system. It's gotta be the slowest digital storefront I've interacted with.

    What are you doing in Echoes of Wisdom?

    I feel like I spent a solid three hours just hunting down heart pieces.

    ocarina of time remake

    That's fair. I think in Zelda's case I'm a bit more lenient since they don't really publish anything more than a graphical touch-ups. It'd be a nice surprise for me if they decided to do a big Capcom remake of an older game.

    ocarina of time remake

    I guess it's the same rational for remaking the old Resident Evil games when you could just as easily play the newer non-remake games: it makes the game look like how you envisioned it as a kid.

    ocarina of time remake

    Ocarina of Time is one of those games I tend to categorize as "good for its time". It was perfectly fine for the first 3D entry in a much younger Legend of Zelda, but video game storytelling has evolved tremendously since then (heck, the original Baldur's Gate released the exact same year and...

    Tears of the Kingdom The depths are so scary!

    Honestly, it's been long enough that I couldn't really tell you how spooky Snowpeak was. I'd say the Depths are pretty low on the spooks bar, so it'd be easy to be spookier than them.

    Preliminary Timeline Thoughts

    I'd place it... somewhere. Despite the visual similarities to ALBW and the LA remake, So, I dunno. It takes place during that brief window in TotK when Link and Zelda are both falling during the game's opening minutes. :eyes:

    Zelda is the Worst Zelda Character

    Yeah, there's a distinct smell of good ol' Japanese racism in that change. Tetra is dark-skinned when she's a pirate, but turns light-skinned once she's "pure" and royal again.
  24. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Zelda is the Worst Zelda Character

    Maybe, but in this case it just feels like she's a totally different character. Tetra after putting on the dress just feels like a copy and paste from an entirely different game, because everything interesting about Tetra is suddenly gone. Not only that, but she's thrown in an underwater closet...

    Zelda is the Worst Zelda Character

    I'd call Wind Waker sort of a step in the right direction. I definitely find Tetra to be a more dynamic character than almost every other incarnation of Zelda, but also found her underutilized. Heck, the the moment she becomes Zelda they suck all the character out of her.

    Why does Echoes count As 2-D?

    I'd say it doesn't. You move across a three dimensional plane in a 3D video came. Calling it 2D feels like calling the new animated Lion King remake "live action".

    What are you doing in Echoes of Wisdom?

    But I can summon this one in larger stacks. :mad:

    What are you doing in Echoes of Wisdom?

    We're a skip and a hop away from Zelda finally being the protagonist of a Legend of Zelda game, so I figure it's about time we got one of these. :eyes: I am

    Yet more vindication for Rauru's early reign.

    "Do you have evidence supporting the evidence you just posted?"

    Yet more vindication for Rauru's early reign.

    Hey, keep manifesting, man. Do it enough and you'll eventually will the retcon out of existence.
  31. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet more vindication for Rauru's early reign.

    That's your official statement by Nintendo at an official Nintendo event. The writer makes literally no assumptions. They snapped a picture of the official timeline and reported on there being an updated official timeline. Were you also this dismissive the last time they updated the timeline to...
  32. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet more vindication for Rauru's early reign.

    That timeline is from Nintendo Live, an annual event hosted by Nintendo themselves. You don't just get to decide it's not real because you disagree with it. The continuity may suck, but Nintendo gets to make decisions regarding their own intellectual properties. You're disregarding statements by...

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    A now outdated note, since the current official timeline contains no such note. Additionally, throwing an asterisk at the end saying how much your chronology sucks is... not good.
  34. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    What context do you think they added that will somehow invalidate the new official timeline? If you want the IGN article then it's still right here. I don't know what gotcha you think you'll find.

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    I replaced it with the news story they were reporting on. Now you're reading the words of the people on the ground.
  36. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    Ah, so now we're labeling the timeline that Nintendo showed off at their own big gaming event as fake. That's fun.
  37. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    Ooh, so we are at the point where we're calling the official timeline delusional. At least you guys are on the same page. :eyes:
  38. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    You're fine to think the current timeline contradicts your head canon. That's fine. BotW and TotK are super messy in terms of getting along chronologically with the other games. This is the current timeline as of September 1st. To ignore it or jam your fingers in your ears and say, "Nintendo...
  39. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    Nothing in that except contradicts the timeline as it's currently written. It lays out the chronology presented in TotK and BotW and nothing else. And... are we really at the point in the conversation where you're going to insist that Nintendo, the ultimate arbitor of their own lore, somehow...
  40. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    The premise of this thread was to make the case for a "linear timeline". To reorganize the chronology into such is not taking the canon we have. There shouldn't be any retcons made for the sake of convenience, but if Nintendo makes them then that once again becomes the canon we have (which I...
  41. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    I'm not okay with retconning, no? I've repeatedly stated how much the use bothers me in regards to "fixing" the timeline, but I've also repeatedly said that you should work with the canon you have, not the canon you want. Nintendo is the one who gets to update the timeline, so retcons or not...
  42. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    Oh yeah, lemme get Nintendo on the horn and tell them the official timeline they're showing off at their big Nintendo Live event isn't the official timeline and that I just made the whole thing up. :eyes:
  43. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    My man, you have decided that I feel a particular way about how BotW and TotK fit in with the rest of the series even as I continue to just point at the current official timeline. If you are trying to retcon this into an unrelated "linear" timeline or add some hitherto unseen fourth branch...
  44. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    Yes, I too enjoy making things up.

    Zelda is the Worst Zelda Character

    Heck yeah. **** Link. Wait, I didn't mean it like that.
  46. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    Okay, bro. I'd also ignore all the other series on that list.
  47. Bowsette Plus-Ultra

    Yet Another TotK Timeline Placement Theory

    I mean, do you really want me to pull examples of ongoing series that do a better job of linking each entry together without needing a director to step into the interview booth and explain how each entry connects? Okay. Baldur's Gate (20 years between 2 and 3) Neverwinter Elder Scrolls Divinity...
