I've been playing through Ocarina of Time 3D, and it is not nearly as challenging as I remember. The water temple was not really that hard, and people keep acting like it's the hardest thing ever. I know it's one of those things now, that people think makes them legit hardcore gamers. But the temple itself isn't that hard. I was thinking that they might have made it easier for the 3DS, so I went back and played it on the virtual console, and it was the same,.

Why do people feel the need to associate themselves with videogames, even when they don't actually play games? I just don't understand why people think it makes them cool to have at one point played games. My sister is a good example, she bought herself a Resident Evil shirt, even though she has never even played one of the games. Which isn't really a bad thing, I just don't see the point in pretending to be into something you're obviously not.

Another point, is that people I know who don't play games, call themselves "gamers" and complain about how Gamestop give "us gamers" a bad name. I don't think there needs to be labels like gamer, or anything like that, what does it even mean? Someone who plays games? My eleven months old nephew has held my fightstick during a Street Fighter match, is he a gamer baby?

Which brings me to another annoyance: Why do people give their babies things that represent their own interests? Babies aren't a goddamn billboard, give them clothes. I don't need to see a fucking NES controller on your baby, that doesn't make me think you're a hardcore gamer, that just makes me think you're an idiot. Children's clothes are getting increasingly inappropriate, not just with of overt sexuality, but with the branding. I see friends buying Star Wars baby clothes for three to four times as much as a normal shirt, all because they think it makes their baby cool. Guess what, your baby isn't a goddamn star wars fan, he/she doesn't even know what it is, stop spending fifteen bucks on absolutely nothing!

I guess I'll cut my Zelda thoughts off there.
