  1. I still think that some day, maybe in the far future, that Nintendo will somehow ruin the games by making one that is more steampunk modern day based as opposed to the fantasy medieval style that nearly every Zelda game to date follows. I don't know how I would feel about this but I would really like to see what that turns out as.
  2. I have to say that Majora's Mask is probably my favourite game in the series, mainly because it took such a different turn on the storyline that we were so acustomed to. Basically pretty much all of them are to save someone, not that that's bad or anything. But the best part of Majora's Mask is how dark and mysterious in the way it is presented, the story was dark and you always had that feeling of absolute demise hanging over you when you looked at that timer countig down the three days. Now I know that Majora's Mask isn't the only dark Zelda game but, Twilight Princess...what can I say...it was dark graphically and not so much on the story and feeling. My order of the games would be 1.Majora's Mask 2.Wind Waker 3.Twilight Princess 4.Skyward Sword 5.Phantom Hourglass All the rest can come in any order. I still love all of them. I'm I the only how thinks that Ocarina of Time is a pretty overrated game in the series. At the time it was one of the best games of that generation, but when I look back and play it today, it just feels so monotonous and boring, the landscapes don't really make me want to explore and just get on with the story.

      But I don't know...

  4. I don't know what is about them but the sound of gale force winds blowing is rather relaxing. :)

  5. Still think that the best game was the one that actually did not involve Hyrule, Majora's Mask is definitely one of the best in the series! Just such a different view on what happens in every other Zelda game.
  6. Some of the scariest games that I have ever played would be 1. Amnesia: The Dark Descent but only if it's played as it should which means turning of the lights, wearing headphones or connected to a big sound system with your graphics looking dark and edgy rather then the wimpy approach with gamma on high so you can see everything. Truly the real horror of that game is when it is put in the hands of the public for custom stories. (Some of you just had to put so many jumpscares -_- ) It just needs the right mood to be scary. 2. Minecraft - not that it's a horror game but it does manage to keep me on the edge of my seat with some of the scariest moments in gaming history. Corners and drops make you fear for your life incase you loose your inventory from lava death pit or creeper explosion (everyone panics when the see a creeper behind you don't lie) As well as that, at night, the whole atmosphere that minecraft creates is pretty eeriy and haunting as you feel so alone and yet watched at the same time. 3. Silent Hill 2 - One of the best psychological horror games I have ever played, but really Pyramid Head kind of makes that game one of my favourites.

    movies/tv Historical movies.

    Well the point of a film or media in general is more designed around entertaining the viewer and not always used to accurately portray what actually happened in the events in question. This is why that a lot of films try to put small warps in history to keep it entertaining but at the sacrifice of some historical accuracy. Since most movies often go by their own set of fictional characters that often don't have anything relevance to what actually happened during an event that plays out on the screen, directors have the freedom to put their own twist on how the events could have actually been carried out but still with the same result that we all know today. But if the movie is more documentary based, constantly talking about dates and facts and not centred around the life of this character that never actually exsisted, then it is safe to safe that it is a pretty reliable source of secondary information. A good example of a movie that is historically inaccurate would be "300" but yet it definitely provides in the entertainment department. Such inaccuracies as: -Sparta was a city in Greece, not a country. -In the battle of Thermopylae the Spartans were accompanied by other Greeks with their forces numbering between 6,000-7,000, not 300. -The 300 "sire units" died rather instantly with no glorious blood bath, as the thousands of Greeks were no longer there to hold the line. -They talked about the elements of "freedom" which were in fact absent in actual history, as Spartans were the biggest slave holders in that area. And don't even get me started on the persian side of things. So really don't always trust in what large, big budget, Hollywood movies tell you! As most likely it's not what your textbook will tell you. Stick to factual means of information like a textbook. Hope that helped a little
  8. Only took one piece of work to realise how little I have actually acomplished in life...that's pretty depressing :/

      But to be honest...even minor things like that I have never really even been bothered to do. I prefer not to draw attention to myself which may be the main reason why I don't do a whole lot.

      There's nothing wrong with being introverted. There's nothing wrong with not being involved with High School social events.

       

      You think Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were High School jocks?

    4. Avery

      Avery

      True, but they probably tried at what they did to become where they are now,(not Steve Jobs obviously) they needed to stand out somehow to get the oppertunities that they had.

      I need to get my priorities straight and try a little harder at things that I like to do.

  9. Good night to all! Or mid-day to some!

    mega thread Metal Thread

    So Metallica are pretty awesome but could anyone else agree with me on just how beautiful this song actually is? This was one of the worst albums ever by them but that's why it must be considered "Lou Reed feat. Metallica" but this song will always have a small spot in my heart...the rest of it was pure garbage ¬_¬ Come on you know "I am the table!"
  14. Hellsing...I have to say this would be one of my favourite Anime opening's of all time, not really to do with the animation because I will admit the animation in the original is pretty...meh...compared to that of the Hellsing OVA's but they don't even have an Opening so this is how the classic is a little more superior. This choice is more to do with the choice of song, pretty catchy if I do say so myself That syncopated rhythm really takes me away. This is the opening http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwNK2_xLJA4 Higher Quality Version of the song Enjoy!

    mega thread Metal Thread

    I wouldn't call this metal to be honest but more of a "post-rock" (apparently O_o!?)...they do really sometimes have a heavy sound, I really doubt that many people would know of them since they are from my local area and only recently have been touring but i have to say, they are pretty damnn good! Always a good break to listen to instrumentals especially when they don't have anything but instrumentals Great song for when I feel an angry montage coming on. ASIWYFA (And So I Watch You From Afar) - Clench Fist, Grit Teeth...GO! Really gets good, in my opinion, around 4:30 As many have said " onwards... I think you just finished music, lads." And " cures cancer"

    What I have on my ipod in the metal department at the moment would be Five Finger Death Punch, Machine Head, Megadeth, Metallica, Pychostick, Soil, System of a Down just to name a few. Also a band i follow quite closely would be Amon Amarth, i have to say if you have ever heard them live you would know what i mean, they pretty much put on one of the best shows that i have ever been to, their sound is just amazing! xD Amon Amarth - Varyags Of Miklagaard My favourite song by them at the moment! Especially at 1:38...that sound :') http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46bN-hcTKWA
