Did you play Skyward Sword? Though admittedly a weaker title, it actually does a solid job of connecting both these ideas: that the “reimagining” of the legend, as you put it, is a seemingly endless loop of reincarnation. The story of Zelda, Link and Ganon is simultaneously serial and cyclical.

Potentially connected, but not all that explicitly (particularly considering how often Link defeats Ganon). The user’s manual for Link’s Awakening reads:

That used to be the case, at least for several of the titles. Some were linked together (like the two NES games, or Ocarina with Majora’s Mask) and others were not (like Link to the Past & Link’s Awakening, similar thematically but not explicitly hooked together plot-wise).

Most individual entertainers have a bit more structure and predictability to their income. Unless they’re busking, they aren’t just entertaining and hoping for donations and ad revenue.

Instead, there’s some kind of insulation between the entertainer and the revenue source. A TV network relies primarily on ad revenue,…

The problem is that you’re thinking of things in terms of donations, rather than sales (which is what Paypal is really intended for).

It’s a seller’s responsibility to take at least some cursory measures to detect fraud. And if the seller is selling a fraudulent product or service, they should be liable.

The customer…

If your credit card was stolen, or if you were defrauded, you shouldn’t have to pay a fee to have that charge reversed. As such, you can’t put that burden on the person making the chargeback request.

The Screen Actors’ Guild has enough power in Hollywood that they could bring an end unfair pay practices and eliminate the pay gap. They could make the entire system more fair if they wanted to, getting rid of the need for back-room salary negotiations.

Good luck, man.

Wait, what?

If there’s a “big fish” at the top of this hierarchy that needs to get jail time too, I could certainly see a scenario in which folks like Lyon are offered a plea deal in exchange for testimony.

Obligatory moon / Uranus joke.

Here’s the tricky part, though:

Thanks for doing this type of journalism. It’s both fascinating and educational for anyone who works in large-scale project development (whether game-related or otherwise). I’m glad that so many developers were willing to help you piece together the story of what worked and what didn’t.

Arkansas is AR. AK is Alaska.

Technically, it’s all legal. It’s just grossly unethical.

While I’m not a huge fan of the Arena mode specifically, I feel like that type of experience, wherein every competitor starts with a blank slate, can be the most entertaining way to play a CCG (for the vast majority of players).

If you’re on a browser that supports addons, find one that will let you block specific page elements. What you need to kill is any div with js_reading-list or js_reading-list-item.

For those of you who aren’t tool-inclined, go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and buy a basic stud finder before you start installing this.

I really wish we had a lying cat to attend WH briefings.

I’m of the opinion that Planeswalkers should never have been introduced into Magic. Thematically, you, the player, are supposed to be the Planeswalker.
