What are you playing right now?

Zelda II isn't THAT hard, you just have to be able to endure a bit of grinding. I played and enjoyed it back when I was 9, and I had absolutely no tolerance for difficult games back then.

Yeah, I usually get killed by the Thunderbird...I think I only made it to Shadow Link one time.

...and then after you die, you have to go back through that stupid swamp, and that stupid cave, and back through that terrible palace again...

Technically, even if I did beat it, it would still count as cheating, since I have a lot of stuff from the strategy guide memorized.



Don't get me wrong, I love the game, I always have...I just really hate that final palace.



I maxed out every single level in the game and still struggle with the very end =)

I've never really understood all the hate for the second one, really. Beyond that some of it is likely because "Well it's not a TRUE Zelda game! Sidescrolling, dont want!" or something like that. Frankly, wether it's a Zelda game or not doesnt matter to me; I just think it's a very good game overall.

Difficult as all hell, yes. But then, that was common back then.


Far as I"m concerned, the very first and second Zelda games are the best things in that series.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX

I finally acquired a North American startup disc for my Japanese Gamecube Gameboy Player(Only region coded by startup disc), so I'm playing it on my Gamecube... Why the player originated from Japan is a long story, but in short, was received as a well meaning gift a few years back.

lately i've been playing a couple online MMO games, World of Tanks and WarThunder. i know, strange for someone with sound sensitivity, but they kinda harken back to my childhood of "playing army". and i got desensitized to sudden loud sounds within the context of the game since they really aren't unexpected. and i do surprisingly well considering my crap connection and that i'm up against reflexes 30 - 45 years younger than mine.

I had an internet outage recently so I tried out Luftrausers, which I got from the latest Humble Indie Bundle, and it was pretty good for an arcade-y action game. I would play it more but those kinds of games don't seem to interest me for too long, unless their name starts with an "H" and ends with "-otline Miami". Now that my internet is back and I'm already bored of Luftrausers, I'm not sure what I'll be playing.

Done with Rune Factory 4, it was a really good game.
Now i'm playing Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls.

Resident Evil Revelations, Killer Is Dead and soon Fuse. Of course, Hyrule Warriors will rule my life once I pick it up....until Smash Bros comes out then that's pretty much all I'll be playing for a while...

I've been playing War Thunder since it was on version 1.27. Its got its flaws but its an overwhelmingly fun game. Not really into the ground forces aspect of it but the planes module is amazing. Guess I like it because airplanes and military aviation was always one of my 'special interests' and its the first game airplane game I've encountered where the ability to play against other people was implemented in a way that was more than a hack or difficult to make work. I mostly play AB with an occasional foray into RB, and I'm T4 or T3 in all countries at the moment.

I've been playing Sims 3, but I have to restrict myself to one day a week though. I end up playing it for 12 hours and won't eat or anything. I scratch the itch by watching let's plays of it, so it's ok. I want Sims 4 but will probably wait until Christmas and see if the price comes down or they release a stuff pack or something.

I'm playing a lot of little games on my Wii U and they're fun but nothing grabs me like the Sims, I have no idea why! I did pick up Mario and Luigi from the virtual console store and it's been good so far.

I'm playing Champions of Norrath and Snoopy vs the Red Baron on PS2, plus Grandia II on the Dreamcast. All great games.

Since episode 5 finally dropped, I started paying The Walking Dead: Season 2.

So far, I'm not sure what to think... Episode 1 is relentlessly brutal and the sound effects in one scene really upset my dog, Rosa (if you've played the game, you'll know the scene).

I play the game for interesting dilemmas in survival ethics, not to be upset by constant brutality... I mean, the scene in question wasn't gratuitous, but it was really harsh and I was not ready for it.

I guess I'll play another episode tonight.

I'm playing Bravely Default and Earthbound zero.
I got Animal Crossing New Leaf last weekend, but I haven't been able to play, I'd like to finish Bravely Default before.

Assassin's Creed 3 (I'm determined to get 100% synchronisation so it's taking me a while to finish it.)

Super Mario World 3d

The demo for Super Smash Bros for 3DS (I hope they change that name on release).

I have never been one who prefers fighting games, but i am having a decent amount of fun playing it and i might even consider picking it up when it releases.

One of the only gripes i have is that there is no way to play a character in a practice vacuum to test out moves without being pummeled senseless. I remember the little that i played of Brawl you could beat on a Sandbag as the map loaded, but in the demo you just get some tips for things that are not even in the demo. What nonsense.

Operation Firestorm on Battlefield 3. I play the map repeatedly as it is my favorite.
