I got both the lead boots and the strength bracelets, learned the songs for the earth and wind temples and found the new earth priestess in Wind Waker. Going through the ice island was probably the hardest part for me. I had to start over so many times I lost count. If you fall into the water in there I can see NO way to get out other than drowning or letting the time run out. Swinging didn't even get me close and the time just ran out while I was trying anyhow. The volcano, on the other hand, I got through just fine on the first try.

Also, had completely forgotten about the Zora. I'm sure wherever those are who are still actually ALIVE, there loving the way the world ended up after the flood. The Kokiri, on the other hand, would have all had to have been transformed into little tree people to have survived :P

There's actually a theory (Hyrule Historia might have confirmed this, but I'm not sure) that says the Rito are evolved descendants of the Zoras. this is especially evident by the fact that the Zora sage's successor is said to be her descendant, Medli of the Rito tribe.

My girlfriend and I marathoned the last three campaign missions in Halo 4, completing our co-op run (and the first run for each of us, at that). Very, very good game. But the campaign was unforgivably short, following an unfortunate trend of progressively shorter campaigns starting with Halo 3. :\
Nooooo! Why'd she have to die??? *bawls eyes out*

Beat Bio-Hazard Battle on the genesis. Discovered someone credited as "LibidoCHAN" in the credits.

...most undeniably sexual thing I've ever seen in retro game credits by far.

Just beat Wind Waker for the second time (the first time was a decade ago, damn time flies), and this time I beat it in less than a day. While this is not one of my favourite Zelda's,
mainly due to the sailing (it takes forever to get anywhere, even with the warps, with very little to do in that time).This makes gathering the Triforce the worst part of the game for me.
This incarnation of Ganondorf is probably my favourite.

I wanted to play a little more of Snake Eater 3D tonight, but one of my colleagues at work had someone on his callsheet called 'Mr Ramhard', and I've not been able to take anything seriously all day as a result.

"Snake Eater" and "Ramhard", eh? Welp, have a BALL with that! (Or TWO!)

As for my 'big accomplishment in gaming' for the day - Just beat the Doppelganger in SOTN! The bastard was fast, but not fast enough to avoid being carved-up by Red Rust and drowning in Holy Water.

Whole office was in stitches for about five minutes. Nobody got any work done at all.

As for the Doppelganger, as I recall he copies your equipment and stat line when you enter the room. So an easy way to beat him and the later fight against Doppelganger40 is to unequip everything, or equip things that give a negative stat gain to make yourself as weak as possible, then as soon as the fight starts switch to your vastly superior gear and rip the shit out of him. He's also rather susceptible to the Clock subweapon as I recall.

Not often do i still pirate stuff, but there are few exceptions, Snatcher been one of those. Just finished it, that was a great visual novel cyberpunk game way above its time, definitely one of Hideo Kojima greats.

On the short side though and a few obscure puzzles, but very original and perfect play on PSP with picodrive. Policenauts grabbed with english patch on a single eboot file now, not often do i pirate might as well do it right!! :D

Beat Twinrova in OoT 3D.
Man I can't help it, but I just find Zelda games to be boring personally.
I'm just dragging myself through it so it would have been worth the 50 bucks.
The only thing I actually like are the boss fights.
The only reason Zelda interests me is the storyline and mythology around it, but the games themselves are a little to repetitive for me.
