The Zelda Quest!

         

 Gaming genius right here    
Gaming genius right here    
It seems I've almost lost interest in gaming as of late. I'm heading off to college at the end of this summer and I'm not sure how much gaming i'm going to be doing there. Ever since my xbox died in February I have spent little to no time playing video games. I have a wii so I was lucky enough to enjoy Super Mario Galaxy 2 and I just recently finished No More Heroes 2, but other than that I really don't have any interest in gaming.   
 
I've been thinking a lot about how gaming has affected my life. There are oh so fond memories of gaming as a kid all night with my (still) closest friends. I have come to the conclusion that the most nostalgic gaming memories come from the franchise that I hold closest to my heart, Zelda. As my icon suggests, Majora's Mask is my favorite game ever, and Ocarina of Time is a close second. 
 
 Good times with friends
 Good times with friends

So as a great effort to restore my interest in gaming I have decided to go on a quest and play every 3D Zelda game once again. I plan to at least approach getting 100% on Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. I plan to analyze what makes each game so great, as well as the franchise as a whole. You can expect a synopsis for them all. 
  
I have a few questions for the GB community. I currently am in possession of a N64, a Wii, Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker. Would playing Ocarina of Time on the virtual console affect my judgement of it? Should I get the gamecube or Wii version of Twilight Princess?
 
I was also thinking of afterwards playing Zelda-esque games such as Okami and Darksiders. Are there any other games that are very similar to Zelda? 
 
I am also very torn on whether I should play any 2D Zelda games. I never played any Zelda game prior to the release of Ocarina of Time. The only 2D Zelda games I have played were handheld ones. Should I play any of the SNES or NES Zelda games? If so, which ones? If I do decide to i'd like to limit it to only two of them.  
 
Otherwise, wish me luck.

Gin and my horrible morning

Jeff is absolutely right, Gin is fucking disgusting. It smells and tastes like windex and has led me to an awful, awful morning. DO NOT DRINK GIN. Especially straight and accompanied by other drinks and beer.
 
I'm on my hands and knees in my backyard, head spinning with no clothes on begging for the ability to throw up. And after around an hour of agony. I do it like 3 times all over myself. Extremely Unpleasant. But the good news is I feel better a few minutes later. Although I do feel dizzy. 
 
Anyway now I'm going to take a nice shower, drink a ton of gatorade, and eat some toast. 
 
Moral of the story, don't be a Ryan. Avoid Gin at all costs.

So... is Serenity as good as Firefly?


I just finished watching Serenity and I have to say i'm pretty dissapointed. I did not find it at all engaging. The plot had too many holes to count and was a bit generic to be honest. 
 
Sci-fi movies like Star Wars and Alien have a certain charm and atmoshpere to them that this movie doesn't. Some of the scrolling scenes are nice to look at, but the movie doesn't have enough of them and doesn't give them any detail or implied background. 
 
The plot is confusing first and then becomes dissapointing. What exactly is so special about this girl, other than being a ninja, and why should I care? The only interesting character was the antagonist who turns to shit in the last scenes after changing heart for a stupid, emotionless video recording. And the reavers and pretty lame as far as insane brutes go. I didn't care for the characters, probably because I've never seen Firefly, but they didn't seem too unique. The only main character I thought was pretty cool was Adam Baldwin's character, only because he reminds me of his role in Full Metal Jacket, which was outstanding.

 
Overall i'd say the movie was moderatley entertaining and mindless, but lacked soul.     
 
I thought I would like Firefly until I watched this movie... will I?

Games I want to play this year...

There are soooo many good games coming out later this year. I will give a rundown of all the games i want to play

Buy

Fallout 3 - theres so much to be said, but i am too lazy, the game looks awesome, oblivion was awesome
Left 4 Dead - Valvle, nuff said
Fable 2 - I liked the first one, and despite molyneuxa ridiculous claims, it looks sweet
Street Fighter 4 - again, self explainatory
Too Human - there is a lot of hate for this game, but i have been looking forward to it for a while and i liked the demo a lot
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts - again, despite what people think, i am looking forward to it, i like pretty much all of Rare's games, cept for Viva Pinata
Project Origin - Basically it is F.E.A.R. 2 and i loved that game and it looks amazing so far THIS GAME IS SO UNDERHYPED

Rent - so these are games that i am still very much excited for, but i dont see myself spending more than a week with them

Dead Space - Looks awesome, i love horror games
Mirrors Edge - Looks interesting although i havent seen much footage, just heard about it
Prince of Persia - Looks great too, even though for some reason the visual style looks a bit dissapointing compared to the original trailer, i dont like the cel-shading (that is coming from someone who loved Okami, Wind Waker, JSRF)

Borrow from a friend - these are games that i am looking forward to a lot, but i know friends who are definatley getting them and i dont have the money to buy them myself

Soul Calibur 4 - I liked all the games in the series so far, not a ton, but they were good, i want to play as the Jedi and my favorite character Seigfreid
Far Cry 2 - I have to admit this game looks AWESOME... cant wait, it looks like the next evolution in open world games

Tales of Vesperia - I like the art style and the anime characters, the vioce acting seems pretty good and the demo was pretty good too

Star Wars: TFU - i am a huge action genre fan, i love DMC and NG, and i love star wars, i want to unleash the force
Spore - i dont think my comp. could run it, but looks so cool, so i will probably play it on a friend of mines superlaptop

 

PS3 games - now i dont own a ps3, but i have friends who do, and i will play games at their houses, so i am still looking forward to ps3 games

Little big planet - probably my most anticipated, i want to play some insane created levels
Resistance 2 - Looks so good, i am most excited for the seperate coop, 8 player campaign
