I think what's interesting about the Gamecube is that it was actually the most powerful of the last-gen systems (most people don't know that but it's true), EASILY more powerful than the PS2 and a bit more powerful than the XBOX. However, the Gamecube was the least-selling of the 3 systems. Now, moving on to the Wii, everyone criticized it, "Oh, it's not as powerful as the other 2 systems!" But what do you know? It's the best-selling system EVER. Haha. And the least powerful system last time (PS2) won the console wars that gen; the most powerful system this time (PS3) is in last. Shit like that makes me laugh. All this hype, the critics, the message board trolls, thinking graphics/"power" is what makes a game/system.. yet at the end of the day, it is and always will be about fucking GAMEPLAY. For the love of God.
But yeah, I love those lil' Gamecube discs. Man. I really figured Twilight Princess would be on two discs; I mean, Tales of Symphonia is and they're about the same length (but Tales does have like hours of high quality animation videos). On another note, I don't bootleg games (I just buy 'em used for real cheap), but my friend said Gamecube discs were by far the hardest discs to make burnt copies of. Nintendo = smart.
Zelda makes me happy. This is dorky, but I don't give a fuck: My girlfriend is a big cosplay nerd, and she made me go to this convention at a con, and I dressed up as Link! There's a picture at my myspace if you're my friend (
http://www.myspace.com/adamcooley) or you can add me as a friend and check it out. Haha. I also have a HUGE HUGE HUGE Link .. it's not a poster, it's like.. this cardboard piece of art.. it's way bigger than a regular paper "poster".. I got it from Blockbuster, I went in there one day and asked what they do with their posters when they're done with 'em, and they siad "throw 'em away" and I asked if I could have that Link one and they said, "Well.. okay, sure!" And just took it down and gave it to me then. Fucking epic. One night, I took some ambien CR and right before I fell asleep, I was staring at it and it looked like Link was coming after me. It was amazing.
Zelda <3
