Special Interests? (Or "Obsessions"?)

Post Reply New Topic

lol yeah it wouldn't surprise me if there were a whole bunch of people obsessed with it.

Mine tends to change. A lot. But there always has been some sort of focus on other cultures and history.

Like in middle school I was interested in Ancient Greece and it's mythology and now that I'm in High school it's mostly general but a lot of focus is put on Europe

I have three big/main ones.
Legend of zelda is also one of mine. I've been obsessed with it for a very, very long time. Since I first played Ocarina of time. Also, the show Avatar: The last airbender. LOVE it. (and so excited for the new show!! !). My other one is anything by the author Ilona Andrews. I am so in love with all of her books/stories. They are amazing and perfect.

Music, pro audio and DJing.

its a drawing of a scene from Zelda twilight princess which as far as i know is BETA only not in the final version :p the twilight princess beta seems amasing... not as amasing as the Zelda 64/ Zelda URA beta was...

.....im guessing you know about the prototype Zelda 64 ? an interly diffrent game that became somhow ocarina of time. mainly becuase of the 64 DD. and maybe zelda URA ? the game that was originaly designed to be an expansion disk for Ocarina which would plug into the 64 DD with ocarina running, if you insert ocarina into the n.64 and have a 64 DD running underneath it will actualy come up asking you to insert zelda URA although URA was never released!

i want to chat with somone who knows what im talking about lol .

Yeti, Sasquatch, Bigfoot, whatever you want to call them. I think about them a lot and like to research them online or by TV shows. I watched Monster Quest a lot, even though they seem to cover all types of cryptozoological creatures. I think they have great potential to be out there. Or maybe I just like to believe... if they're real and ever found it would take the fun out of it for me.

I cant make a good career in cryptozoology, so I study chemisty since I am good at math, memorization and seeing patterns. Chemistry is also enjoyable for me

I really like pokemon, i always have >< I also tend to overthink and obsess about life but that is because i can't control my thoughts very well :o I hope to get wireless one day so i can trade and battle people equally obsessed about pokemon :D

Well, I started with some of the classics;

First was dinosaurs.
Insects.
Oceanography.
Microscopes.
Astronomy.
UFOs
Leprosy
Jim Morrison & the Doors
Psychology
Computers ( The early days, before the Web Etc.)
SCUBA Diving ( got certified, than Advance, etc.!)
Roswell UFO Crash.
Dolphins (Got to work with them!)
Crohn's disease & Ulcerative Colitis. ( I have CD. )
Anime'
Arthritis
Reef Aquarium keeping
Telescopes & star gazing (returned & made this a hobby with a serious scope!)
Autism

These tend to recur & get switched around a bit.

Sincerely,
Matthew

Yes! I did already know about zelda 64, but I had never heard of ura/dd. I looked them up and read everything I could about it for the last 2 and a half hours! (I am excited about this now lol.)
I wish that the dd had done well in japan so it could have been released here! I want it so bad now. I want ura.

I'm surprised I had never heard of ura before, even thought I knew about zelda 64. How did that even happen?! lol.

In addition to my rather long-winded description of my Tim Burton movie and My Little Pony obsessions, I would also like to add that I've gained two new interests over the past couple of days: the webcomics Homestuck and Hanna is Not a Boy's Name. I have spent hours upon hours reading them, and they have helped immensely in taking my mind off of my anxiety regarding the Dark Shadows movie. Both comics come highly recommended by me. Hanna is Not a Boy's Name is comparable to a Tim Burton movie, mixing humor and drama with the supernatural/macabre, which is why I enjoy it. Homestuck... can't really be compared to anything. It's also pretty difficult to explain. It must be seen to be believed.

I have many special interests, so I'll just list the most intense ones:
1. I Love Lucy
2. Neuropsychiatric disorders/neuroscience (and biochemistry/anatomy/physiology in general)
3. Cedar Point and their roller coasters

Hooves-up for having Jade as a pony as your avatar which is quite awesome if not in fact more than quite. (Even if you have Rarity as your least favorite Pony.)

Fanfiction and fandoms. I can't even watch most cartoons/animes/cult movies without wondering in my head what 'could happen' and writing dozens of mental-fanfiction, of which a small select few end up becoming real-fan fics.
Also sometimes I obsess about who else is obsessing/fandom'ing over each show, what people think about it and what fanfiction has been written about it.

Besides that, just thinking in general. I'm rather obsessive of it.

it would take ages to explain, ive been reading about it for years.
i know that zelda URA was a expansion to Ocarina of Time, and when you were done playing like completed the game for example , you would stick the DD underneath, the n64 slotted on top with ocarina in it, and you would insert the zelda URA disk into the disk drive .
zelda URA was orignaly zelda 64, the game where you had a sword beam (! !) , you could exuipt the medalions, you clould play reeds of grass to call epona (like on twilight princess) , a well known part of the game was "every footprint you made in the sand, every pot you broke, every tree you cut would stay there for the rest of the game " , the N64 DD had alot more memory space cabaple compared to a N64 cart, and possibly more power than the PS1 unit.
since Ocarina of time development was taking so long, nintendo decided to scrap NEARLY ALL of its amasing beta features... because they decided to port it over to cartridge which means they had to cut alot of the good stuff out ...
but, nintendo promised to release all the amasing featured scrapped content from the cart as 64 DD expansion disk,, which is known as zelda URA. various interveiws and public events with nintendo have records of them saying things like "zelda URA is almost complete" , and "zelda URA is pretty much 100% complete" ... but it never released. i would trade my ENTIRE nintendo collection to just be able to touch a Zelda64 cartridge..... (and i have like 2 nes, 2 snes, 4 n64, 3 gamecube, 3 gameboy oringinal, 3 gameboy colour, 3 gameboy advance, 2 gameboy advance SP, 1 wii, ds lite, 3DS, as well a sealed games, a prototype zelda comic, many carts, lots of very rare promo displays/stands/boxes, toys, old sweet booxes (mario and link bubble gum dispenser with box) , nintendo wallpaper from 1989, lots and lots of nintendo promos and toys etc... )

some pepole think that zelda URA was re released as a gamecube bonus disk for windwaker, but it wasnt.
if you were to pre order Zelda windwaker in the USA you would get windwaker and a bonus disk called master quest, which is a ported ocarina of time to gamecube disk or if you were to pre order windwaker in the UK it was included in with the windwaker game case as a extrra disk , and a ocarina of time masterquest as another option on the disk menu , nintendo literaaly tried to "cover up there tracks" by trying to call master quest "the unreleased zelda URA" but when the exitment went down a little fans bagan to releise.... master quest is nothing more than dungens mixed around. zelda URA was so, so much more......
it has been said that some pepol at nintendo own the prototype ! !! ! i think it was ment to be either the mario club testing team, or some other part of nintendo i dont remember, but there is no way they are able to stick it on the internet or anything, becuase nintendo is a company that documents, everything! as in if anyone was to so much as take pictures of the cart they own, they would be fired, charged, and possibly put in jail, nintendo would know exalty who was to do it.

BUT you can get CLOSE to zelda ura ! ! with this glitch.

BUT it MIGHT delete the save files on your ocarina cartridge (thats why i bought 3 haha, i have 2 grey and one gold PAL collector editon one)

what you do is you have to have =

a completed save file where you have beat ganondorf.

a N64 console where the game wont crash if you so much as touch the cartridge (because that would make it very hard lol )

what you do = TRICK YOUR N64 INTO THINKING IT IS USING THE ZELDA URA EXPANSION =

start the game and go to the save file menu, before you go to make a new save file pull the left side of the cartridge up gently until the sound becomes scrambled (may take some practice) , type in name and create a file with sound still scrambled, start the save file and the game should crash, but the cart back in like normal and reset the N64, if you go to your save file menu you should see a grayed out save file that has DISK attached to it, it is unplayable because it is greyed out, that is becuase the N64 is is searching for the unreleased zelda URA expansion but cant find it, thats why it wont let you play it, but, HOW COOL IS THAT??? you can pretend to have a zelda URA save file!! ! if you fiddle around by doing the pull out cartridge trick you should be able to delete that save if you want to .

also if you own a 64 Disk Drive, you could allways insert the 64 console into it with ocarina of time, it will ask you to insert zelda URA!! !
because it is searching for it! the game is searching for the unreleased disk expansion! .
which is actual proof of how complete zelda URA realy was!! it also proves it would be used after you completed oot, because the save file glich only works if you have a completed game save file!! !

sorry... i get a bit obsessed when talking about zelda 64/ Zelda URA.....
