The next boss at least was super difficult (hardest boss in any Zelda) on the N64, but I know they nerfed it a lot for the 3DS. Fortunately, there's also a lot less to do post-boss-death in the other areas.

I lost to Phantom Ganon at first because I had no idea what to do (first Zelda game, and Navi's hint was not helpful). I feel like the actual challenge of hitting the orb is not exactly on purpose, it's more how wonky depth perception can be on the N64. You pretty much have to Z-target and then move so that you're…

It's another week of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, Paper Mario Color Splash, and actually a bit of League of Legends.

I think Majora's Mask had a perfect balance of difficulty. Figuring out what to do was easier than Ocarina, but actually executing it was often more difficult. It assumed that the player had already stabbed Ganon in the face with the Master Sword, and thus they didn't need too much coddling. Just compare the slow,…

My favorite victory was a Cultural victory in 4. Just managing to make such a cultured nation that everyone bows down to you felt really good.

Normally I avoid hearing anything about a game because of spoilers, the desire to experience everything as a fresh surprise. But, with this, I have avoided discussing it because…I don't have time. And I cannot be tempted. I just can't get sucked in again.

Out of curiosity, why are you interested in haggis but not foie gras?

I don't watch Westworld, but this makes him sound not only like glitch-exploiting players and speedrunners, but also Flowey from Undertale.

Yeah, I had to consult the in-game tutorial on it. I was getting very confused and felt like I needed the knowledge to get through the ship level in Conquest.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions still has a fantastic soundtrack. I remember being surprised upon playing it that it wasn't more vocal-based, given how important J-Pop and idol culture are in it, but I soon realized that this made it so that the actual songs stand out more. And, the soundtrack is actually really good in general.

There's an old PC game called I.M. Meen. It was basically Doom except you learn grammar as you go. The plot involved a cranky libraria…okay, let's just show you: https://www.youtube.com/wat… Also, yes, that is the same animation company that did the infamous CDi Zelda games.

I feel like One Winged Angel is that one song that Final Fantasy concerts are required to have, no matter how different a set list they'd like.

I love doing one-off sessions, especially for holidays. 2 years ago, though, we did what was supposed to be a one-off…and then a new player made an assumption that ended up resurrecting the main villain from the story, who we'd finally killed. In her defense, none of us had been willing to eat the lollipops that we'd…

For me, it's just the family method. I've made some adjustments for myself (like the aforementioned chipotles), but the cinnamon is in there because, to me, that's just what chili tastes like. At least good chili.

Okay, that is probably the better option, but I already have a bunch of chili powder at my place. If I find fresh ones at a store, though, I might give this a shot. I usually make chili at least once a month once winter hits. Wake up early, start the simmer, dig in 10 hours later.

"the guy speaks the truth sometimes"

I have seen this scene quite a number of times, but the jump-scare of the blood reacting still gets me. It's just perfectly timed, there's no actual build-up. It just cuts into the suspense, and it's perfect.

Out of curiousity, is this going to be the new standard format for WAYPTW? Shorter posts more like the comments, rather than the longer essays? I'm not objecting, necessarily, since WAYPTW mainly serves as a a hub for a good comment section and not many of us commented on the article. Mainly curious.

The chili itself has got to have the 4 c's in it: chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and chocolate. I also started adding chipotles, since I really like the smoky flavor. The meat is best if it's large chunks that you sear on one side for some texture, then let them sit for the whole day in the chili, so that they fall…

Can you think of any examples of horror games that do satisfy what you're looking for? I think I know what you're saying, but I'm also not entirely sure…
