All my years playing this game, and I never thought to light that upper level torch with an arrow from the lower torch. God drat it.

Edit: Or that shot from the upper torch to the web. drat it! Nice job there, Fae. You are now teaching veteran Majora's Mask fans new things with your blind LP.

The glow is a guide, my friend. Though it falls to you to avert catastrophe, you will never fight alone.
Oh huh. I never noticed, but when watching fae try to aim, but there's actually a small piece of the bow jutting out between the main part and the string, and that point is horizontally level with where your arrow will go.

I don't think this has been mentioned yet, but I think it's worth pointing out that the stray fairies heal you too, so every dungeon has a very large pool of available health. It took me quite a while to realize; for the longest time I only thought of them as a collectable, despite them still being fairies.

At this rate, each new LP will have you crafting at least one, if not five, new things. It's only a matter of time until you have to buy a second home just to keep them all somewhere.

Arrows go to the dead-center of the screen. You can use that to guesstimate the proper aim if you're still having some problems.

If you use the bow enough, you get a feel for where that is in relation to the arrow tip.
But then when you play MM3D you will end up shooting too high because they moved the arrow tip to the place where the arrow actually goes. Which is definitely a more sane way of doing things and how it should've been from the start.

While we're talking about the snowball climb, as far as I know Goron form doesn't have a shielded mode. We saw here the snowballs and wolfos can both damage you while you're curled up. I haven't tried testing it for reduced damage or knockback, though.

There are always some goodies by the Owl statue outside each dungeon in the game- usually a fairy, some magic, and a big bundle of arrows/bombs.

The hit box on the Goron shield is a little weird but it's still useful.

Also my preferred Day 1 restock method has always been to roll a couple laps around Termina Field as a Goron.

It's so much faster. I think I noticed that it was a ramp, immediately assumed there was some sort of reason later to start rolling and promptly launched myself into the abyss. Several times.

Before that, I also had to look up a walkthrough to even think to use the Lens of Truth here. It was not my finest hour.

The snowballs just hit you when you're shielded. The Wolfos hit her when she was curled up, which is different.
When you're curled up, you can roll and do the ground pound. When you're shielded you're all jagged and a rock.

Well, we also saw that the shielded form didn't stop her from taking damage from the snowball. That's what was the most curious.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if the action of shielding as a Goron is actually pulled from shielding with the Hylian shield as Young Link in Ocarina of Time but with a model swap. Since Young Link can only shield himself from things above him using the Hylian Shield, maybe the shielding Goron's shield hitbox acts the same. Therefore, the act of getting hit on the front of the model, outside the shield's hitbox, is what caused Fae to take damage from the snowball.

Geemer
Nov 4, 2010



Nah, snowballs are just dicks.
Goron Link's 'shield' works the same way as Deku Link's shield. Some things that are too powerful just hit through it. An easy way to see that the goron shield works for attacks from the front is to just shield next to a bomb.

gravija posted:

For some reason, I've been incredibly bored for the past hour and I got thinking about something. If I could invite any twenty people I didn't know for dinner, alive or dead, real or fictional, who would I invite? Here's what I came up with:

1. MacGyver - This person is my hero of the moment. MacGyver is actually a big reason why I decided to major in physics. I'm not up on the whole getting shot at thing, but I would like to have some sort of job where I'm out in the field or otherwise using physics and other mechanics know-how to solve problems. Furthermore, he saves the world without having to resort to firing off hundreds of clips or having the roundhouse kick of death. He uses his brain very well.

2. Cao Cao - Who wouldn't want to have dinner with Emperor Wu of Wei? He was one of the most capable and savvy generals of the Three Kingdoms Era. Furthermore, it's widely thought that he had an incredibly unscrupulous personality, but there is only bits and pieces of proof to validate this claim. I'd like to see if he's really the cur people make him out to be.

3. Excel - HAAAAAAAAIL ILPALAZZO! The very attractive and hyper main character of Excel Saga would certainly be welcome at my table. She adds life to any room or situation, regardless of whether you want it or not. Moreover, I don't have any pets, so I don't really have to worry about keeping them safe.

4. Reno - He's a Turk and he's a goofball too. He exhibits the most confidence as well and is most interested in simply doing "cool stuff" of the group.

5. Tifa Lockhart - What? Another Final Fantasy VII character? Yes. In the original game, she is moderately decent looking, but in Advent Children, she suddenly became the single-hottest created [rendered, animated, etc.] female I have ever seen before. I would spend lots of time at the table just staring at her like I'm a complete moron. Hopefully, she wouldn't decide to Final Heaven me into next week.

6. Maze - He seems like the hardened battle general of Fable and it's a shame that he couldn't even be a moderately decent human being. Yet, I somehow find him intriguing to the point that I even made a character based on him in an RPG once.

7. Kurt Angle - Kurt Angle is incredibly accomplished as an NCAA and Olympic champion and a sports entertainer in WWE. His wrestling ability is incredible and he's become an international superstar. I'd most definitely want to hear some of the stuff he'd have to say.

8. Kate Beckinsale - I love her and want her to be the mother of my children. Then again, millions of other guys on the planet feel exactly the same way. I enjoyed her work in both Underworld movies and in Alice and Wonderland. I'll pretend she wasn't associated with Van Helsing. I'm interested in seeing Click... Is that any good?

9. Ayane - She's quite a violent female that I would never want to cross... Yet that purple hair is so alluring.

10. Moses - I'd have to ask him about the Exodus. What was it like having to keep his party under control while running away from Egypt? What was his favorite plague? Were those stone tablets heavy?

11&12. Jay and Silent Bob - A banquet can't be complete without the ultimate duo of the womanizing pothead and the guy who just kicks rear end. I can only imagine if Jay decided he wanted to hit on one of the women in my party who can legitimately and effortlessly annihilate people.

13. Shaun - I want to learn the art of anti-zombie cricket bat warfare from this guy. Furthermore, I can have nothing but respect for a normal guy with normal guy problems being thrown into the oddest and most absurd life-threatening situation known to man and living to talk about it.

14. Rogue - Rogue of The Cruxshadows, Mr. Pineapple Head, himself, would be the goth and indie music guy at the table. Of all the people I've mentioned or am going to mention, he's the only person I've physically spoken to before. He has this incredibly dry and witty sense of humor that can cut like a knife.

15. Chuck Norris - "Chuck Norris never sleeps! He waits!" Ok. No. But, I would feel an incredible obligation to invite the subject of one of the largest Internet phenomeona, just to torture him with every random generator fact there is. I never really liked Chuck Norris much. I found Walker: Texas Ranger to be practically unwatchable. A friend of mine and I both decided our favorite fight scene of his was the one where he lost to Bruce Lee.

16. General Beatrix - More eye candy. I'd have to ask her what it was like having to listen to people pretend to be enamored with Queen Brahne when everyone [except Brahne] knew they'd much rather snuggle up with either Garnet or her.

17. Ann Coulter - So abrasive... So cutting... Such manly hands... Such deep conservative values... Such raw wit... And she'd wear a slinky cocktail dress to the occasion.

18. Jeff "CJayC" Veasey - Why on Earth would I invite the administrator of GameFAQs to my banquet? Simple. He's so incredibly mysterious and I would savor a chance to find out more about the ever-esoteric administrator of a site that I've regularly gone to for over six years. Nobody knows anything about this guy. I simply must know.

19. Aeris - No, this isn't another Final Fantasy VII choice. I'm actually referring to the character from the webcomic, VG Cats. Whether she's running a D&D game, beating the hell out of Leo, or just alerting people of "Wii," she's one of my favorite characters in a webcomic.

20. Ash - To top it all off though, my favorite webcomic character is Ash Upton from <I>Misfile</I>. If I invited her to dinner, I'd have to ask her, "What's it like being forced into a gender you weren't a year ago and not being able to do anything about it?" I'd then ask her to hook me up with a car, because I don't have one right now. ;_;

And, there we have it. These are the twenty people I'd invite if I had a banquet. If any of you want to do this, here are the ground rules:

- The people can be alive or dead, real or fictional.
- They have to be people or other humanoid creatures. For instance, Lassie wouldn't work.
- They don't have to be famous, but can't be your buddies or anyone else you could realistically just call up and have dinner with on the spot.
