Winning with 8 over 4, we're starting off in Bluebell. The cows will flow. Many more things to vote on will come in the thread, so be on the lookout!

 This part and the next part were short enough that I probably could have put them together like with Dodongo's Cavern, but whatever.

We were all in awe over the majesty of King Zora and I was playing Majora's Mask 3DS because mine came a few days early so forgot to comment.  Zora's Domain is a cool area on paper but, it's literally just a cave with some Zora's in it, like Goron City was a cave with some Gorons in it, the tropical music really clashes with the scenery.

Those aren't "uvulas" by the way. They're electrified tentacles. You know, from the boss. The thing wrecking that fish's insides and making him sick.

I always figured the tentacles were basically really large worms infesting the big fish's body. That way, Link is basically de-worming the royal pet... who is questionably sapient? Huh. ...never considered that they were part of the boss, but that makes sense in hindsight.

There was also a Jabu Jabu dungeon in Oracle of Ages. They couldn't really capture the "stomach" aesthetic since, well, it was on the Game Boy, but at least the dungeon looks like a fish. For comparison:

drat, the 3DS version makes Jabu Jabu look even worse, with all the tendrils in the 'corridors'. I was impressed by how you beat the octopus miniboss so quickly the 'fair' way. It's quite hard to chase it without running into the inner ring's spikes. The easy way is just stunning it, wait until it does its spinny thing, and stun it again, and it will have it's back toward you like 50% of the time. MelvinBison posted:There was also a Jabu Jabu dungeon in Oracle of Ages. Ah, yes, I remember that. The game that tried to explain the design difference between the evil Zoras in Link to the Past (Zolas according to some translations), that popped up out of the water and shot stuff at you and the good Zoras in OoT by saying OoT Zoras are sea zoras and the LttP ones are river zoras. This doesn't even make sense, it's not like the OoT Zoras live in the sea. Carbon dioxide fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Feb 14, 2015 |

I always hardwalled there for about 4 freaking hours because of the drat water level switches and the GOD drat MASSIVE AMOUNT OF KEYS THAT LEAD TO A CHEST WITH THE BOSS KEY. gently caress this place. Oracle of Ages was my favorite game, but the last two dungeons were annoying as hell.

But when you think about it, any water that has fish in it has been touched by fish asses. The old man's fishing pond? There's like 40 fish asses in there. Maybe even 50.

I played Ocarina of Time when I was a kid, like most, I don't have any real nostalgia for it so when I play it today I find it a little dull compared to more modern entries in the series.

lovely game stories? Well, like many people I chose games because they had nice box-art or I just got one as a birthday gift and my folks didn't know anything about them either. The thing is, I got a few wordy RPG-like games and games were never translated to my language so I didn't understand a word of that foreign English crap and never got anywhere with those games and that sucked. True story. --- Have I mentioned that I really like the way you've decided to show the lower screen? I've seen quite a few LPers hiding it completely when there's no action on that screen, but it's useful to just be able to see how many hearts you have and where you are on the map. It's also closer to playing the actual game. And having it in the corner there doesn't make it obnoxious either. So thanks for that.

I remember I had a friend as a kid who had the absolute worst taste in games. How bad? He had a SNES. He had Home Alone 1&2. He had Dragon's Lair. He had Pitfighter. If there was a terrible game available on the Super Nintendo, he probably owned it. I'm convinced he was single-handedly keeping LJN afloat at one point.

I actually never played any bad games as such when I was a kid, I started reading gaming magazines during the Super Nintendo era, I think the Official Nintendo UK magazine was my first one and this continued up to the Wii era where gaming magazines in general started vanishing slowly as the internet ended their relevance. Saying this, I was the only person I knew who owned, and enjoyed playing Turok Evolution.

I remember when Pizza Hut had this promo where they'd give you a demo version of Tony Hawk for the Playstation. It only had one course, maybe two, and the course was only 2 minutes long. Didn't stop me from playing it every chance I got for about 3 months. I don't remember having a whole lot of lovely video games on consoles when I was younger off the top of my head, but I do remember that my sisters and I had a collection of extremely girly games when I was about 10 or so. Surprisingly, only two of them involved Barbie.

As a kid, whenever I visited my maternal grandmother, I spent most of my time playing my cousin's NES that he kept at her house for some reason. There was a good assortment of games (Batman, Mega Man 4-6, Kirby's Adventure), but somehow the game we spent the most time on was Bible Adventures (my cousin also had King of Kings, but it never worked). I'm still sort of proud I managed to beat the Noah's Ark section. Baby Moses can go gently caress himself though.

To be fair, I have mostly heard that OOT was amazing. But never actually saw much of the actual game till now. I mean, I've seen Majora's Mask, and Windwaker. And I knew it involved stopping Ganon, and the Master Sword. But this being where Sheik even shows up and, everything else, this year is the year of the Zelda LP. It's pretty groose, really. And mentions of all the OOT references in Majora's Mask make a bit more sense now I've seen (some of) OOT. Then again, never had a console so that may have contributed. Can't think of any bad games I liked when I was a child to romanticise. Not to say I didn't play any, mind you. "One time, I had an Asthma Attack..." Welp. how can I top that story.

I found the talk about cultural osmosis interesting. I never had a console growing up, and all my friends also had home computers, so I wasn't exposed to Zelda at all, and Mario/DK/... only via the handheld Nintendo games (which I still have). I've also never completed one, and have no idea what big plot thing is coming, so thanks for not spoiling it outright!

My eyes lit up as I saw the last present wrapped for me. I knew what an NES looked like from friends at school inviting me over, but I'd never had one of my own. Until that day, when I tore off the wrapping paper and saw my very own NES with a copy of Mega Man 1. My parents had gotten me a second-hand console and copy of the game they found at a garage sale; the label was torn off of the game and it just said "MEGA MAN" in black marker, but I was happy all the same. I sat down to play it, but something was wrong. How I know this when I had never seen the game before is irrelevant. When the game started up, the title text said "TURN BACK" instead of "MEGA MAN", and Megaman himself looked kind of uncertain, which really showed on the seven pixels he had for a face. I pressed the Start button and went to the stage select screen. There were six robot masters, who I will now list: CUT MAN, GUTS MAN, ELEC MAN, BOMB MAN, FIRE MAN, ICE MAN. I chose CUT MAN because I had heard from my uncle who worked at Nintendo that he was the best one to start with. Where I apparently know the point value was supposed to display, instead there was text saying "LEAVE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE". What was really strange was that the letters looked like they were covered in realistic-looking blood. I probably should have stopped playing at that point, but CURIOSITY GOT THE BEST OF ME and I kept playing, and the game probably burned my house down or something. I also fell down the stairs in my childhood home; they were ostensibly more dangerous than a regular staircase since they went around a corner, but somehow I was just a little dazed and went on with my day.

I didn't have video games as a kid, but my aunt got me a subscription to Nintendo power so I would "play" through the level maps in my head. I'm pretty sure it's responsible for some of my great spatial/visual memory, or maybe the reason I thought that was an obvious thing to do with the magazine was because I already had one.

I've never heard the Redead behavior described as eating the corpse; always as mourning it. I guess because in Majora's Mask Gibdos are shown to both still retain some measure of their prior humanity and be Redeads underneath the bandages. e:  Check out them moves. Miyamoto also stated in 'Iwata Asks' for OoT3D that Link is 9 as a child and 16 as an adult. Neruz fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Mar 24, 2015 |
