Thanks for the tip. What I love about this is how it's a direct contrast to the advice you give people for the original Legend of Zelda, when given a choice between a heart container and a potion bottle. As a kid, I went for the potion bottle a couple times…until my brother's friend came over and wondered why I didn't…

It was a bit jarring to not be able to climb a short little wall in a shrine, despite having just scaled the entire cliff face right by the cave when you start the game. I still sometimes forget I can climb things because my gamer brain has been trained to always look for ivy on the wall for climbable parts.

Our neighbor's cat kept shitting in my veggie planter so I ended up getting one of those wire fence borders (like this https://www.walmart.com/ip/…. Despite that she could easily jump it, she doesn't, might work for your dog.

I find the climbing in BotW extremely tedious so far. Does it get more fun when you have a larger stamina pool and you can "jump-climb"? Or are there some other items that make more than just slowly steering your way up a mountain face?

Yah, same. I bought the original when it hit $20 and I still felt like I may have overpaid.

Got my repaired (replaced probably. The serial number changed) Switch back today and got to see Breath of the Wild in a full 47 inch experience. Back when I realized it wasn't working right, I wondered if I wanted to keep it as just a hand held. I can definitively say nuts to that now. I enjoyed it so much when docked…

I haven't been online with ESO in a bit, since I hit the level cap and other new games came out, but I've been wanting to get back into it again. I did a staff based character in it and then a couple weeks later, did a magic based character in Skyrim. I hadn't used a staff in Skyrim in years so I forgot how absolutely…

The console versions of D3 also have their first season starting today.

Well I'd like to be playing Zelda this weekend but I got a day out of my Switch before having to ship it to Nintendo for repairs. The POS would run incredibly slow when docked, like it was using 100% of the processor. Undocked, it worked fine. I'm a bit pessimistic that it will be fixed. I just hope I get it back…

Aquaman's "Under the Sea" number is probably at least 6 minutes long

I bounced extremely hard off of ME:1. It played too much like KOTOR (a battle system I've always hated) and had so many sharp difficulty spikes that I would just get more and more angry at it. I kept playing it like a shooter when it very much was not one.

I think Bioware's statement about getting out of the Hinterlands is very telling as to the nature of all this filler and why some of us find it very tiring.

I dunno, I personally think any successful studio with a back catalog should be, at least, evaluating having a remaster department.

I wonder how many North/South Korea war scenario maps are out there

Now if they could just go through and patch all their RTS games so that you don't have size limits to your squadrons.

I've been an owner of a Switch for about…30 minutes now. So, I'm gonna Breathe Some Wild (registered trademark of Mt. Dew Zelda: Breath of the Wild promotional soda flavor) this weekend.

From what I've read, no

ME:A also has the gall to ask you design TWO damn characters too. I modified a Sara character. Kind of tweaked the non-racial brown person look (I always find myself making characters that don't align to any known human race somehow) and then got to the point where it asked me to modify Eric, or Vance or whatever they…

I wonder if part of me is dreading getting this because I know I'll have to play those first 10 hours over again. See, I made a character that, once I saw how they looked in the game, I realized I could not do an entire series with that face. Simply making the chin and jaw a bit larger than default scrunched the whole…

I've been putzing around in Wildlands over the last week. It's all over the place in tone and difficulty, but if you have a friend to co-op with, it's got some incredible moments.
