Time of Legends

-
I mentioned that I am looking forward to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I like the games, but I haven't played many of the newer ones... and when I say newer, I mean the DS and forward. Intending to catch up some, I bought Skyward Sword and Windwaker HD, but there are so many I missed in between, I won't even attempt to catch them all. Thankful each is its own compartmentalized story with no continuity between them... well, after the first two.

Here's the score:

Zelda 1: Maybe 90% completed. The final dungeons kicked my butt.
Zelda 2: Completed!
Link to the Past: Completed!
Links Awakening: 10% completed because I never owned it.
Ocarina of Time: No idea... but I never became adult Link, which is probably not much.
Majora's Mask: Never played.
Oracle of Ages: Completed! (borrowed)
Oracle of Seasons: Never played.
Four Swords/Wind Waker/Minish Cap: Never played.
Twilight Princess: 10% at a guess.
Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks: Never played.
Skyward Sword: I got the sword and went to the surface. Haven't played it since.
Link Between Worlds: Looks interesting, but as if I'd pay full price for a modern title.
Tri Force Heroes: New to me. See above.

I see that they are readily available on the Nintendo e-shop, so perhaps I'll pick up a few... when I complete the ones I have! Honestly... I have so many games and not enough time to play them all. I have six Assasin's Creek [sic] games and have finished one and started on the next. I tried to go back to my game in progress (Brotherhood, I think) after several months and am so bad at the controls I can't get anything done. Dang these games that almost require binge playing.

If I were to go back, I think I'd start with Links Awakening... $6. Not bad.

Being a Jaded Gamer

 Seriously? I'm still at the dang publishing company doing droll factory work? Dang it. There was a coworker there who I spoke to early on a bit about tabletop gaming, Pathfinder, D&D, etc. and movies. After discussing the cut Sony got from Spiderman films, which the guy referred to as Disney whining (because they kind of got boned on the deal, at the time anyway) we basically had no meaningful conversation for a little over two years. He randomly gave me a copy of an RPG that was mistakenly returned to our plant and said he was reading about it. The game was Delta Green, essentially a cut-rate Cthulhu Mythos ripoff. Fast forward to about 6 months ago. He asked me if I'd like to play in a game of Delta Green. I decided to do it for a little social interaction. When the group assembled in the backroom of a coffee shop, the members consisted of myself, the GM, and who I'll refer to as the jerk and the block of wood. I was the eldest there, and as usual I took a while to w

People apparently find it therapeutic to share online... but I have such pronounced social anxiety that I see no distinction between online sharing and airing your problems to a crowd in meat-space. I have no illusion-of-anonymity that is so prevalent online. I treat my online self the same as IRL. In other words.... I don't know what I'm doing currently writing this. Perhaps it's purely cathartic. My way of dealing with people has long been governed by two rules: 1.) "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" and 2.) "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt." This approach has rendered me very taciturn. Besides that... much of the time... people seem to not know what I'm talking about. I don't mean to come across as a know-it-all, but I do like to learn and share knowledge and I have a big vocabulary. I mean no offense, but I am afraid people may take it as such. I'd rather

Exasperated Max

Mad Max currently ranks #13 on Steam as having the most hours of play. I intend to knock it off the top 20. Rather than a buggy remnant of a quest I completed, I like to think it means metaphysically. It's right.... I should. I recently finished the game... all I cared to of it. I liked the game play... cruising around in the Magnum Opus (the game's customizable/upgradable car). Harpooning and blowing vehicles up was fun. Clearing camps was a slog because gathering scrap is arduous and the combat is a chore... or the other way around even. I got all but the last two areas cleared of threat and I have no desire to do the abysmally boring Mine Clearing missions to finish them up... frankly I have no incentive. Where the game lacked was the story missions. I saw in a game magazine sometime ago... in reference to the protagonist of Secret of Evermore. "It's hard to [care for] a character who doesn't [care]." Max gives little in the way of excrement. He jus
