The real annoying thing is that you have to do it twice if you want to complete the game 100%.

The dungeons are also part of what turned me away. At the time, it seemed like they were just much more difficult than other games in the series. That could just be my imagination, but I was stuck for ages on the snow dungeon because I just couldn't find my way through a single area, and the water dungeon is what finally made me put the game down, in part because it seemed so difficult to even access the dungeon in the first place. I could have just been lacking in patience back then, and I've played through several other Zelda games since then, so I'll probably have an easier time working out the puzzles if I give the game another try.

My brother (Edward_Cullen) and I were playing BF2 online the other day (just the 2 of us). We were playing space CTF. He never likes to play against me in space (because I always pwn him :P). The winning score was 5. I played on his team until we had 4 points and the other team had 1. Then, I decided to join the other team for a real challenge.

I won :D.

That's quite an achievement for you and quite a fail for your brother. I want to know how anyone could possibly be that bad at a game.

Or just that bad at flying a ship. I, for example, cannot fly to save my life on a console, but on the PC, I can actually dogfight. The amount I fail on the console is actually marginally entertaining, whereas the amount I own on the pc (against AI at least) is at least as entertaining. It's that freaking imprecise controller.

That could be possible...

As for me, I feel like I accomplished something - I now have every upgrade, Skulltula token, etc. you can possibly get in Ocarina of Time. Now to just get through Ganon's Castle...

Ugh. Can't remember the last time I played a game. Battlefield Heroes has been un-funned, and my other games don't work. :(

Really? I've been playing it a lot recently and been enjoying it. I felt real stupid at first because I spent my 700 BF from playing BFBC2 on a gas mask, shiny helmet, and a long range pistol...shoulda gotten a super weapon. Anyway,

On BFH I had been abstracting from the norm and I decided to be a sniper for a while. After consistently getting a 2.00 K/D with the default, weak, nerfed weaponry, I decided to only use default weaponry from that moment out. I went 32 - 4 (with default weaponry) for my first time playing as a Gunner (LMG, high health, slow movement, close range combat) in nearly a year. I've also been raking in Dr. Pepper codes so I can get better clothes for my people, only now I have so much, that I'm giving some back to the community through the wonderful contest of teabag me.

Grev, do you need any codes?

Somehow I thought that was the swear filter.

I just recently got past a really hard spot in the original Uncharted, took me about a month, but it was worth it.

I just started Banjo-Kazooie on the Nintendo 64. The last time I played it was about 7 years ago - I'm much better at it now :D
The game is so long though! Frustratingly long!

Huh. JKA files saw an update to a FFA map based on one of the levels today. Coincidence? :P

I'm a strong developer supporter, I've spent 100+ dollars on the game, but I personally feel that paying for an advantage in a game is cheating. And the über update gave a whole lot of normally average players the ability to cheat. The monetary aspect just hurt the game on my eyes. Especially as a gunner, where confrontation=domination, 1 on 1 with an über against a default hurts.

I also feel that DICE has lost direction with the game, working on aesthetics and store items prior to bigger issues being fixed, but that might just be me. Apparently there's one map developer. One person.
I used to really enjoy the game, I was a closed beta tester and I had a massive tournament set up, but the game's clan/community incapability killed that and my clan, which I had since swbf2. :,(

Codes would be nice, I'm pretty vain on the battlefield, dressed up and all, so it'd be appreciated.

Win game.

I actually thought it wasn't that hard when I played it, however long ago that was. I also think that compared to Banjo-Tooie it's a relatively small game.
So small, in fact, that my friend did a speed run of it in 3 hours for a contest. :P

Beat OoT. The whole fight against Ganon was just one moment of awesome. And since I'm in the mood, I decided to go through Majora's Mask again.

It's been a while since I completed OoT, but I do remember that being a pretty awesome fight. While we're on the subject, I really liked the final battle in the Wind Waker as well. Twilight Princess had some cool parts, but I think the last portion was a little anti-climactic as far as the arena went. Man, all this talk about Zelda games has me really looking forward to summer when I might have time to play through a few of them. :)

Tehe... the thread is a day short of a month old; oh well, I've got relevant info anyway.

Playing Invasion mod for Mount and Blade: Warband last night, someone in the server knew another person who knew how to pit the same faction against itself. So the six or seven people in the server, leading squads of bots, all played as the Hunter faction, with everyone choosing gunmen, and making their bots gunmen too. This resulted in a line battle which was totally unique to anything I've ever played before, and was the most awesome thing I've ever played.

I made good on my wish to play through at least one Zelda game this summer and beat Twilight Princess again. I had forgotten just how good that game is. I stand by my opinion that the final battle could have been a bit better as far as the arena goes, but overall the game is fantastic - more than any other Zelda game, you get the sense that you really are playing the part of a hero.

On SSBB, 2 of my brothers were playing on a team, and my older brother and I were on a team against them. It was Lucario (Me) and Marth, against Ganondorf and Link.I got a really bad score using Lucario, and so did my brother that was using Link. We eventually got a sudden death, and they took a while to start fighting, so the bombs started falling. You'd never guess what happenned next. Marth got hit by a bomb and went strait up, and just as he was about to dissapear in the background, a bomb hit Ganondorf and he went off to the side and died.

It was extremely funny.

Picked up Guitar Hero 2, 3 and Red Dead Redemption for USD $12 at my local gaming store after trading in a bunch of Guitar Hero stuff I repaired. I was gonna wait on Red Dead, but given the amount of store credit I got and the fact that GH2 and GH3 were 5 bucks each, I couldn't pass it up.
