They really nailed her expressions too! She was a ton of fun to watch and got to fill in Link's emotional void somewhat. They seemed to sacrifice some of Zelda's story development for Midna, but I'm glad they embraced some more complex themes like a monarch's duty to her people and sins of the past and all that. It…

Extra post, but does anyone still play Splatoon and want to give me an idea of how robust the multiplayer is right now? I'm interested in jumping in, but want to make sure it is worth the 59.99 USD.

I remember the Prime 3 battles getting a little tougher right before the last boss (who seemed like a pushover), but never quite reaching the almost frustrating complexity/shooting skills of Prime 2's bosses like Robo-Spider or the (K)Ing.

I might have time to finish up my playthrough of Twilight Princess HD. Knowing where to go and what to do kept the intro from being an interminable slog and kept the game moving at a nice clip. And I think anyone who has played any of the 3D Zelda games can agree, Midna is by far the best (and fleshed-out) of any of…

Most of the feelings about Twilight Princess tend to pooh-pooh it, I'm heartened to see someone else finds it as fun as I do! And you are in for a treat, as the desert and Snowhead dungeons are what made TP stand out the most among Zelda games.

WHAT! Gizamaluke was by far the hardest boss I remember fighting and I could've been blinding him the entire battle? Guess that tip alone makes the re-release worth buying, if it ever gets released!

Thanks! I feel like I've never liked Westerns more than in comic book form.

I do not. Looking at his listing on Amazon makes The Incal seem like a great place to start.

Wow that was a great article! Having been shown Giraud's influence across so many artistic fields has made me disappointed that I've never really read any of his work. Can anyone recommend a good anthology or collection of his stuff I should read?

Yeah, that board tends to thrive on the drama it claims to despise in other gay subreddits. Some of the "bromanteaus" are kinda funny though.

I am almost 100% certain a license on Steam gets you all platforms they support. Every game I've gotten on Windows, I've had a Mac copy available. The good news is that 100% of your games on Mac will be on Windows. It should only take as long as a download to be playing them again. I'm less sure on this, but I think…

That's true. At least with the bonkers amount of free DLC released for 4U, there is a good chance more content will show up without getting the G-update.

Ah! Thank you for reminding me of a wonderful PS2 game I totally forgot about! I would be all about an HD remake that fixed the terrible framerate issues.

Like so many others, I'll be indulging in Twilight Princess HD with Hero Mode to add some excitement to one of the odder, but unique, entries in the Zelda franchise. Other than that I'm trying to get through Fire Emblem: Awakening to avoid impulse buying Fates. It's going well except for the odd moments where I leave…

I figured since MH4U was such a big hit here, they wanted to take the risk of releasing the standard version. I wouldn't be too surprised if G-rank stuff and other tweaks show up as a significant (free, I hope) DLC later on. But, either way I'll be all over it. I sucked at anything past G1 anyway.

Metal Gear Solid Pachinko:
Psycho Mantis: "You like Pachinkovania, don't you? Why not try some of the other classic Pachin-Konami games you love?"

But it rhymes! Those are the best subtitles! Keep us abreast of how it goes. I've been interested in playing it after Hyrule Warriors got my Musou-blood pumping, but can't convince myself to spend the money…yet.

I had the 25th Anniversary Soundtrack (one of the best Zelda OSTs) that came with the game originally, so assuming it's on there I've heard it. I just finished up Wind Waker and Oracle of Seasons and with a half-done Oracle of Ages and Twilight Princess HD to get through, I don't know if I have that kind of time or…

I've been going back through Skyward Sword the last couple of weeks after never getting past the giant kraken-like boss and have learned to love the motion controls (unlike last time). I did peek ahead and all the collecting you have to do just to get to the finale of the game is embarrassing and totally sucked any…

Your thoughts on playing got me to pick it up a couple of weeks ago and I started with Corruption to get used to the Wii controls again and you're right. Tonally, it is so off from the other ones. Though I do remember it does get back to the exploration/isolation pretty quickly. The story itself wasn't anything…
