Hmm, I thought we werenīt allowed to post or link to such things. Mel will be happy for it, though.

Happy Birthday, Melvo. I dunno why Iīve started to call you that.

You know that itīs only the network thatīs 52mb/s, right?

Almost no broadband connection is that fast except those that companies are using.

Ever since I first came to the Internet, there was this narrow minded view of how people on the Internet should operate. If you don't follow a set of guidelines given to you through the almighty "FAQ", you're toast. Here, there is no mercy. Yet even those in power break the rules.

You might see an issue with this one. But I see this all the time on forums, especially in politically related threads. What separates Bush Bashing from regular old flaming? Is it because he's your leader? Is it because he is not a member of this forum? Does that really justify flaming him? I think it shows a failure to understand exactly what it is you're doing, and in some countries it only provokes the death penalty (God bless Freedom of Speech, eh?)

This rule should be enforced a little more. If you truly want people to not act stupid, maybe it should be regulated a little more for those of us who aren't new to the forum or don't have a history of being stupid. If that can't be done, perhaps this should be elated on, rather than telling us what to do and what not to do, or what your definition of spam is. At least new users have an excuse to be stupid, but when people act stupid just to mock them, it shows their mentality. And for mods to be acting this way tells me alot about the capability of their leadership skills.

Is it really necessary to point this out? A hack is still a hack, and even the smallest achievement should be properly criticized. When you just filter this kind of thing out like trash, it only makes way for more people who have no patience for failure. Is that the kind of community we really desire? Just a bunch of short tempered, short minded reverse engineers?

I think that above all, there is a lack in understanding of how things are supposed to be run, and the way things are run in real life. Oh, one could argue for hours about how the Internet is not a real place, therefore the laws of reality do not exist, but since we're incorporating our rules of society into online communities, why not go the full distance?

---

Wait, I forgot that the internet is ruled by adolescents. There are no adults here, and even if there were, what would they say about our behaviour?

---

---

Subconsciously, the online community is a getaway from the harsh reality we have to deal with in life. We don't even realize it until it's shoved in our face, like now. So what does this say about the user who comes here on a daily basis? Do they not enjoy the way things are going on the other end? I am not ashamed to say that life is not very enjoyable on my end sometimes, but I'm learning from my mistakes.

---

---

The point of that is that I have lots of time to learn from my mistakes, but here we only have 3 strikes until you're gone and out for the count. It's a general principle that people adopt as a successful breeding method, but fails in the end.

What would happen if real life was like that?

I own this game! I can;t find a worthy opponent anywhere! It kills me because I want to fight someone that makes me sweat from my ears and bleed through my nose. I went to my local EB games, and this big fat geek worked there; I was buying some sort of game I don't remember, but I ended up saying something about SSBM to my brother, and this dude interrupts me and my brother; so I'm thinkin' "Cool, someone likes this game" right... and so I get to telling him that I like to use Fox, and he starts asking me about the Toward + B special attacks that they use on there; he asked if I knew the "trick" to going really fast back and forth, and I said "no, I don't I like to block, roll behind my opponent and smash attack a lot; sometimes I use the strong kick but not the one as strong as the samsh, anyway I was excited, I was thinking "He looks like he doesn't have a life, he's a geek; surly he's good at games; he likes smash brothers, cool this can be really fun!" So I ask him: "Hey, dude, If you want to fight me on that game when you got downtime I'll play ya', what do ya' think, bro?" He's like "Alright, but you're gonna lose"! and then he laughed the most geeky laugh I had ever heard, but no worries I was going to rip this guy apart of SSBM. So I was supposed to come back at 9PM, and I did. When I got there I approached him and was ready with all my gear(My memory card, especially) Instead of keeping this very important appointment; he disreguards that I took the time to come over there, and he goes down two doors down to the freakin' comic book store! I'm like "WHAT!!??" Come on!! So sad to say I am still without a worthy opponent; if any of you are good at this game, and you live in the Indianpolis area give me a call if you want to play my cell is. ###########; my name is James.

23 now, attempted Deadmines for the first time and barely managed to kill VC, I'm surprised the entire event ran as flawlessly as it did.

Very soon after I realized I was missing 3-4 quests from there, so I got to sit around Westfall waiting for more groups to head out so I could make a repeat trip. I quickly found out my first run would have been the lucky one. Usually I get online really late so there's not many parties running around there, and the ones I get are pretty absurd. One of note was two hunters, two rogues and me, none of which were over 19 if I remember.

I had to run back to repair my equipment and smelt the copper I was digging a few minutes prior, and they'd already headed in and got a massive link, while I sat in town watching them helplessly trying to bandage each other. I lol'd.

I still have faith though, this is hella fun.

Final issue I can see with the limited footage and images avaliable and i do stress it is only limited so far but the dungeons to me look like the worst design Nintendo has ever come up with. It all seems to be one big square maze made up of blocks and relatively unimpressive textures which don't reflect on anything Zelda has done before. Worst of all it reeks of bad PS1 levels or the piss awful Megaman 64 randomly generated dungeons. I'm hoping it gets spruced up a little.
