    Beat the original Legend of Zelda with 53 deaths, about 20 of those on level 6 which is absurdly difficult because it's filled with the worst enemy in the game, Wizzrobes. The blue ones have a ton of health, can warp around, move through walls, shoot at you whenever you are in line of sight...

    Your video game hot take(s) thread

    The original Legend of Zelda might have the most insane method of saving ever to appear in a game: Yes. To save you need to access the subscreen with controller 1, then press up and A on controller 2, then you can select save with controller 1. If you don't have two controllers you need to...

    I played Baroque for the Sega Saturn and got an ending. It was ...interesting. It's a really dark and weird first person roguelike, It's slow but has a fair amount of depth in its items and item combinations. The atmosphere is great, the game is almost worth playing just for how strange and...

    Shower Thoughts MK2

    Glasses now days always come with all sorts of expensive anti-glare coatings, but what I really want are a pair of glasses that will catch the light whenever I have something dramatic to say.

    Yeah, I'd heard the second game improved on the first a lot, but the design of the first (which I gave up on in the second half) never gave me enough confidence to give it a shot. It wasn't enough of a roguelike to make the constant restarts enjoyable and the trial and error gameplay just took...

    Nintendo hires you as 3D Zelda director, provides Japanese interpreter

    Well for one this is about the 3D Zelda games which have generally been easier, really in most of them it's pretty much impossible to die after a certain point you have so many heart containers, defense items and bottles full of fairies you would need to place artificial restrictions on yourself...

    Nintendo hires you as 3D Zelda director, provides Japanese interpreter

    I'd like a return to form with a scaled back world. Focus on making the world full of things worth finding rather than just making it huge. Limit the number and length of cutscenes, earlier games did this well, but it spiraled out of control with Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Thankfully...

    What new users? We get like 1 a year that sticks around, hardly seems worth the spam. It'd be nice if there was some way to add some additional approval process, like they are restricted to only posting in the introduction thread and need to make a coherent post about their favorite game or...

    It'd be nice if we could make a few more mods, but if all else fails and it become unmanageable Jojo can just sticky all our main threads.
