NSMB becomes much easier the more players you have. By myself I couldn't get through a level(Okay, I got through the first few, but after that it's hard.), but when you have others to drag you along, it works out quite well. I mean, I died way more often than the other two people I was playing with, and I lost all of my lives on occasion, but you just sit the level out and then come back in on the next one with five more lives, so no biggy.

Also, riding Yoshi's, like I stated earlier, is great fun. Sucking up Mario and then throwing him at an enemy is a sure way to have fun/get people mad at you.

They seem to have a habit of doing that. Like Star Fox 64 in US was Lylat Wars in UK. Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in UK was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the US.

I mean, honestly, what's the point in changing it?

Regarding Lylat Wars, there was a European company called Star VOX at the time and it was considered too similar. This is the same reason the original Star Fox was renamed to Star Wing.

In other news, I won my very first game of NetHack a few days ago, which is very difficult and you should all congratulate me.

Valkyrie (read: the easiest one). Lawful, dwarven. Had like eight unused wishes at the end and I never got Grayswandir the whole game so in hindsight I should have been neutral.

Next I plan to ascend a vegetarian barbarian.

I bought a preowned copy of Pokemon Pearl, since I had Diamond before but I lost it.

Love this game. Very Happy

I actually now have the one that only came out in Japan, so the collection is completely complete. Excuse me while I suck myself off.

Anyway. I've been playing Zelda 64 'cause people keep telling me it's "dead good" and I sort of feel as though I've missed the boat on the whole "Zelda" thing anyhow (you know, by about 12 years). Only Zelda game I'd ever played up until now was the SNES one and I never got past the first dungeon.
So now I'm playing Zelda 64 and I am quite unashamedly shit at it. I keep dying in the most pathetic ways conceivable. These plant things keep coming out of the ground and being sick on me. Then I pass out and have to start again. Don't you just hate it when that happens? The controls baffle me. Mario is easier. Smile

Hahaha, playing OoT now must be weird. I tried to play MM on a ROM about a year ago, and that was even worse. I quit trying when I couldn't get a heart piece on a log because the jump was too impossible with a keyboard/mouse combo.

Anyway, the game probably won't do anything for you at this point. Everything that made it so amazing at the time is pretty commonplace nowadays - the huge open world that we all remember from our childhood is now the equivalent of a small area of most games, the robust, dynamic towns will seem barren and practically deserted, and even the fact that the game "pulls off 3D so, so well" is like.... ?

The other thing about OoT that made it magical is that so many of us played it a lot. People experimented with and hammered the game, finding every possible glitch and hidden secret, because there was nothing else to do. It's like when kids used to play baseball in the street because they had no other option.... but you can't get that experience at all now, because it'd make no sense for you to spend 100's of hours trying to find glitches that've already been found, and trying out glitches in a game you've only had for a couple weeks won't be nearly as surreal as what it was like for us, when we were little kids and had the game for years.

Ahh, man, I wish I could go back to those days.

Just finished the Wiiware version of Phoenix Wright, and jumped across to Justice for All. I've finished the series on the DS already, but it's been long enough that I've forgotten 95% of the cases and going through again is relatively new.
One thing that bothers me, though -
In JFA case 1, how in the hell did Maggey Byrde NOT know who the killer was? She was on a date in the park with the guy, waiting to return the phone she found earlier. The guy comes up to them, sees her boyfriend in a police outfit and shoves him over the ledge, then spends 15 minutes looking for his glasses and using the dead guy's hand to write her name in the dirt to frame her - where was she looking all this time? At an interesting squirrel? I know Nick got clonked on the head and had amnesia, erasing all the info he learned before the trial began, but surely at some point she would have pointed out the killer to him, or the court, or something. It makes no sense.

Guys, guys, guys! I had fun playing a video game! Honest! And it's single player, too. *gasp* It's actually the demo for Just Cause 2. It's a sandbox third person shooter. The list of problems with the game is rather significant. The controls are very poor, your character is a god, people don't die quickly enough, ground vehicles physics are all wrong, and you have infinite grapples and parachutes. BUT! It does things I've never done before in a game. I jumped into a jeep and was running away from some dudes shooting at me, and they shot out both my rear tires, and the wheels were scraping on the road as I made my getaway. That's about when I started going HOLY CRAP THIS IS COOL.

And then I used my grappling hook to tether one end to a very tall tower, then the other to a passing guard, and he went for a little flight. Then I hopped on a motorcycle with people following me in cars shooting at me, went as fast I could, and opened my parachute. I then shot the two guys in a jeep while parachuting, grappled to the car and took it over, and then drove it off a cliff and opened my parachute and sailed happily away.

This game is just insane. Hopefully I have the money when it comes out.

I had kind of a love-hate relationship with the first Just Cause. You could lose yourself for ages just driving and flying around the beautiful and obscenely huge Cuban environment and grappling in and out of aircraft, but the story was pretty dull with only 21 missions, none of which were in any way memorable. Then all you had left to do was do the same liberation missions over and over and over again to slowly gain control of the map. Meh. If they can keep what was great about the first one and fix what was shit, they're onto a winner.
