So with this quality of life improvement it elevates the game from an already pretty high likability for me. Before breath of the wild I'd never bothered to get all the heart pieces, and in link's awakening I got all heart pieces and the collectibles. The small game world is nice.

Having had so much fun with this traditional Zelda I'm wracking my brain trying to think of any Zelda games I missed from ss to botw that I can play on Switch? If Link's awakening is this fun I hope they make a collection for those oracles of season/ages games because that's another gameboy Zelda I missed out on.

Oh thought it was something added to the switch version, it gets a pass for being game boy

I think the only condition for the good ending is you just never die the whole game.

There's a portrait of Marin that will flash during the ending if you got it. If you don't see it, you done fucked up.

That... that's it? Well I saw that.

Now that I have all seashells and chamber stones and heart pieces and done everything, how do I know if I got the secret ending or good ending or whatever?

I'm thankful they gave the upgraded sword at 40 seashells instead of 50 because it was helpful to use in the dungeon and the upgraded sword pretty much one-hit kills enemies instead of needing to do multiple swings. By end of game I had found 47 seashells on my own and just need to use the map for the last 3.

Although I've noticed that the effects don't stack with the triforce of power. Bosses still take the same number of hits with it or without it.

My Link's tunic is red after I did the color dungeon since I obviously chose more attack power which is way better than more defense. I kinda wish I could keep the green tunic while still having the upgraded attack.

My dumb ass trying to get all the seashells and heart pieces and not realizing you can literally press x on the map to show all the seashells and heart pieces you've found so far. That is such an unexpected quality of life improvement from Nintendo.

Will Ghosts US be affected by the writer's strike? I'm waiting for the season 2 finale before I get the season

You know I was not expecting to get sad over the ending. I may have been spoiled about this game's ending before but when it all disappeared that actually hit harder than I thought it would. Felt very sad about Marin who managed to be endearing in such a small game.

Overall, I loved this game. Even though it can get really obtuse trying to figure out where to go next, it didn't bother me when the world was small enough and vibrant enough to explore. Plus I already have the rpg habit of talking to everyone multiple times so that helped to piece things together. Obviously if the game world were as large and empty as twilight princess or skywind sword's sky world, I would have loathed it. But a nice compact game like this was just right.

Just beat the game! That was a trip. So when I entered the wind fish egg, I had no idea how to get through that puzzle. Was gonna google it when I remembered I screencaptured that book in the library, I remember it was a book that I couldn't read for most of the game. Turns out that's what the magnifying lens trade quest was for, not the boomerang, it was for literally beating the game! Damn imagine being someone who's not into doing sidequests and just tried blazing through the game, only to be indefinitely stuck inside the egg. The trade quest should actually be considered a main quest.

One thing I'm not a fan of though is that dungeon maker explorer minigame, Dampe's dungeon maker. I've definitely never been a fan of anything resembling that mechanic, like rpg maker or mario maker or any kind of creation and building whatsoever. Thankfully it's optional but I would really like to get that 3rd bottle since the fairies are great for tanking bosses while trying to figure out how to defeat them.

Got the hookshot! One of my favorite Zelda items, it's almost always the last traversal item you need to be able to fully explore the world map without going "hmm am I missing an item for this part yet". I just enjoy everything about it it's like the batman grappling gun. Zipping all around the map is immensely satisfying.

So Finished the trade quest... ohh so the trade quest is important to get the boomerang? I mean... it's been pretty damn useful so far so I guess it was worth the 300 rupees. Don't need to use my arrows or hookshot for some enemies can just use the boomerang.

I got tired of waiting for HBO to add the 4th season so I sought it out through other means.

I'm loving it so far!

This show is so good but I've been unable to turn anyone I know IRL onto it. I don't know why.

I'll have to check out the US version at some point.

Honestly? I only heard about this show from a topic on here. And I was pretty skeptical about it being any good. I love it now but definitely know I have no chance of convincing anyone I know to watch it.

For if you finished season 4, So are you sad about Mary getting sucked off?

Ok I've just spent the entire weekend binge playing this game. Don't want to finish it so fast but it's just so fun, going through dungeons, getting items, being able to explore the map which thankfully isn't that big.

It feels good to be able to solve some of the puzzles when the game barely gives any hints, and the hints they do give are either super cryptic or too obvious that I already knew.

I did have to look up how to beat the slime boss, bit of BS I know I was slashing and dashing into him but the game didn't register it.

Yeah I just wanted to try it to see if it was actually possible since the storeowner stops me every time. Just saw a youtube clip of how to do it and wtf is the shopkeeper magic how do I fight this guy.

How do I steal stuff because the game doesn't seem to let me.

Ok I love it. Game is fun as hell and even my minor gripes barely register when I'm having fun exploring the world. I might take that back when I try to go back and find all these seashells that are clearly important but for now it's a blast.

And does this game predate ocarina of time because I want to know if it did music and ocarinas first

I think I watched every bit of Ghosts UK media there is, even the bloopers. I think I'll wait awhile before watching Ghosts US until the UK version isn't as fresh in my mind.

I remember reading that it was kind of funny. When Ms. Marvel came out originally, the writer wanted her to be a mutant, but Marvel was doing their big Inhuman push, so they made her an Inhuman. Now the MCU wants to aim away from Inhumans, so they made her a mutant.

I haven't read it, I do wonder how Kamala came into contact with the mist in the middle of Jersey by accident.

I remember that push, they retconned scarlet witch and quicksilver for the 4th time and made them inhumans right.

Inhumans seems to date back to like the 70s so it's pretty old, I assume said push was an MCU thing since Disney didn't own mutants at the time and were like "fine, we'll do our own mutants, with hookers, and blackjack!" towards Fox.

Also this game is so bizarre in the best way. Is that a good guy chain chomp? Are those goombas in those underground stair platforming sections? It's almost surreal I love it.

Really glad I went from apprehensive to liking it instantly.

Got the yoshi doll and the heart piece and 50 rupees. Is this the crane minigame everyone was warning me about that I was supposed to be dreading?

Really liking the game so far, this is just what I needed from a traditional Zelda game. From the satisfaction of getting the sword, your first weapon, to going through the first dungeon and getting the key and map and yes even compass... a 10 year gap between the last traditional Zelda game is just what I needed to have this experience feel fresh and fun again.

Which episode of iZombie was this?

Lol this was my reaction as well. I love seeing rose's early work she's such a gem

found this for anyone interested

So about how long is this game. Looks pretty fun so far, I'm enjoying playing a traditional zelda. Have to say though I'm not a fan of the vaseline filter, it's making me paranoid about my eyesight getting blurry as I'm getting older.

Finally found the damn stamp I was missing in the lava world! That was annoying. I knew it was gonna be some BS like that, hidden in a rotating platform by gray blocks that blend into the environment and can't be broken unless I get a bomb up the platform fast enough and throw it.

100%ing the game was fun too. I swear I think after a while the bowser fights get even more frequent. I should have timed them throughout my playthrough and see how far apart they get.

Overall a great bit of DLC, fun platforming, but I hope the whole giant bowser fights are not brought back. The actual world exploration platforming was much more fun.

And boy this cat suit that 3d world introduced is so broken. If it didn't look so not good I would consider it a top tier powerup.

I'm shocked they got james marsden and jennifer garner to guest star, this is the most likable I've ever seen her.

I love kenneth branagh but these movies are terrible and going serious with them was so the wrong move. Knives Out really set the bar for murder mystery and nothing has come close, not even adaptations of the queen of the genre's work.

I've skimmed enough to know that in the comics Ms Marvel is an Inhuman, but I'm fine with Disney ignoring Inhumans now that they got the brand name X-Men. Although we did see that Black Bolt guy in Dr Strange 2, and after checking it was literally the same actor as the unspeakable show.

As someone who loved Agents of Shield and thought season 2 was the greatest bit of television and even better than the Avengers movie of that year, I'm fine if they end up putting the Inhumans to bed. Even though the introduction of the Kree and now even Skrulls means they could work in how the Kree experimented on humans to make them weapons of war in their fights with Skrulls...

Lol I was skimming old topics and I didn't even realize what the final scene was implying. Mutation. Mutants. As in X-Men.

I was still going "oh it's probably related to her being a djinn" like how Star Lord's DNA was analyzed in guardians of the galaxy a decade ago and revealed to be more than human.

Hasn't the UK always been loyal to Sony, to the point where Sony titles and even consoles sell more than even Nintendo?

Is this inspired by my Ghosts watchthrough topic.

This movie was so popular it's insane. They'd play it on TV all the time.

I really hated that actor he played a scumbag so well, but then I learned he was the voice of Tarzan which I like

I was enthralled by the premise decades back but yeah, slow burn is a nice way to put it. I only watched up to that point and never did continue or know if it ever ended.

As I recall, there was something similar that happened in the original Kingdom Hearts. There were apparently some small notes scattered in the journal in the JP version, but were removed in the localization.

After looking it up, it was either just on KH2, or it was in 1 and 2, and I just cant find anything about 1.

Doesn't jiminy's journal read like it was written by jiminy himself? Is that what you meant or something extra?

One thing that bothers me is that I sprang for the DLC, something I never do, and threw money down to get the ancient bike, which of course renders all horses basically useless. And yet I can't even use the damn motorbike in the gerudo desert? How is that fair.

I don't even dislike sandsurfing, but it's like come on. Even the snow areas let you use the motorbike. What exactly did I pay extra money for if not convenience.

Ok so... the director's/extended cut is 3 hours long. That's roughly an extra 20 minutes of footage to flesh out the characters.

I've actually never seen kingdom of heaven either in any form. Missed it in theaters and just never caught it on TV or anything

Double Take?

So simple yet so obvious I must have missed it completely

OK so beat the game. That was fun. Hated the final bowser boss fight, trying to catch up to him on the dino to hit the bell bubble is terrible.

Now to 100% it and get all the shines which they helpfully display on the map and end credits screen.

Even disregarding the powerups thing, I can't tell if this game is easier than 3d world or if I just have gotten better at playing these new mario platformers. Wonder/hope any skills gained is transferable to smo which I've been saving to play for much later.

why are they in english? Is english a common language there?

It's arabic phrases using english letters

Welp just finished binging the series. Overall great show, can't get over how much it surprised me.

Can't wait for season 5 dammit

The double hour long pilots are a must see, I really liked them.

I liked the murder book episode. The one with cheese, gum, teeth. The college one. And that's about as much as I can remember from decades back.

Another thing I forgot to add, didn't know if they were implying that kamran was being partly possessed by his mother in spirit form when that weird light entered him and that's why he was angry and had power.

Since jinn and possession is part of islam too so I dunno

It's probably the only MCU show that was able to land on its feet with its finale. It's overall an average show, a lot of the djinn stuff wasn't well thought out imo, but in comparison to the other MCU shows it's a step above all of them in terms of quality.

What do you mean?

Did anyone else feel like they were flip-flopping with kamran? As in not sure whether to make him the typical mcu villain who has the exact same powers as the hero but a different color, or a misunderstood character, or someone like the guy in dr strange 1 who was a good guy then suddenly becomes an out-and-out ridiculous bad guy in the post credits scene

I enjoyed the show overall. It felt like it went by so fast and that not a lot happened, but the characters are likable enough and I'm definitely into the possible lore the bangle has especially in the first episode when she first puts on the bangle where Kamala falls into a purple world with hooded/cloaked looking people, reminded me of the terrifying shadows in super mario galaxy's easter egg. And also a little bit of the avatar state's ancestors.

ok wow I just went on a shallow dive regarding al pastor and lebanese mexicans, I had no idea there were so many lebanese immigrants to mexico

Speaking of, I saw a video about why American highways/roads/infrastructure are so terrible and why the way Europeans design them is so much better, and it honestly convinced me. The video basically showed the equivalent of a boardwalk in a European city on cobblestone with shops on either side, and it was completely pedestrian based, no place for cars whatsoever.

While driving in Europe is miserable, having an entire city be designed around people and walking rather than cars and malls and mall parking lots and even strip malls does sound like a good idea.

OK no joke is brie larson going through anorexia or is that just a bad shot because she looks so skinny I was worried for a sec there.

Nah, there was no butt on butt action. Achilles is straight in the movie.

Hah, not from lack of trying. They were so desperate to make him seem super straight that it seems rose byrne's entire character point in the movie is to be his beard
