Twilight Princess... in HD!

It was interesting playing through Twilight Princess HD, considering how long it's been since I played the original and how it seems to have garnered a less positive reception in recent years compared to other Zelda games. Having now beaten it, here's how I think it holds up.   Pros The gameplay is as good as ever and evolves nicely from The Wind Waker. Combat is quick and satisfying, and the controls are easy and responsive. Using the Gamepad to switch items or check the map on the fly is reall

True Fear

True fear is going on your old Brickshelf and remembering how you used to make cheesy sprite comics. I'm too afraid to look.

The Zelder Scrolls

AKA The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild   The coolest part of this game is how it feels like a 3D AAA version of the first Zelda, where you have to explore to find dungeons and items. I know I'll like it and spend a lot of time in this game considering good gravy it's huge, but there is a part of me that hopes there's still some of the staples of older Zelda games like dungeons and a cohesive story.

The Trials of Apollo

It's always nice when Amazon delivers your book a day earlier than the book is supposed to be released. It's good so far (I'm about ten chapters in), If you like any of the other Percy Jackson books you'll like this. Also, all of the chapter titles are bad haikus. It's the little things.

Tangled on TV

So if you don't know, Disney is making an animated TV series based on Tangled, set between the original movie and the short Tangled Ever After. It's got a good voice cast (both Mandy Moore and Zachery Levi are back), and the art style looks really nice. But if you've seen the movie, you might notice something... off about this picture.         The show could still be good, but that is a big problem they have to get around first. Also I care way too much about children's media.

Tale as Old as Time

This is such a good teaser, getting you hyped without showing too much of the movie. I am both extremely excited and extremely nervous about this movie. I'm excited because it has a great cast, it has the music, and it looks like it'll be very respectful to the original. But I'm nervous because Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie, and I've never seen a remake of a movie I really cared about so I'm really hoping it lives up to the original.

SplatBob ToonPants

SpongeBob vs. Patrick is the theme for the next Splatfest in Splatoon.   I am going to post so many SpongeBob quotes on Miiverse. So many, they're gonna drown in it. Drown in it!

Spidey

(or there's an if you prefer a more action-y one)   There's just something so surreal and awesome about seeing Spider-Man existing and crime-fighting in the MCU, even after Civil War already did that. I'm really excited to see what Marvel can do with the ol' Webhead, and I'm glad that it looks like Sony is letting them take the reins. Tom Holland is great, the humor is funny, the Vulture looks pretty intimidating (although villains have never been Marvel's strong suit so I'm not sold just ye

So I've had a blog

Turns out that I've been a premier member for three weeks and didn't even notice until now. I figured that I had to do something to redeem it, but I didn't and now I feel like a cool dude. Thanks to Ravana for hosting the Chrom essay contest.   Anyway, on to business...   What's up?

Rogue One

Four thoughts on the Rogue One trailer:   1. It definitely looks different from The Force Awakens, which is a good thing. Let the spin-offs be their own things.   2. Good gravy that Mon Mothma casting is perfect. I honestly thought she was a CG recreation the first time I saw her (Genevieve O'Reilly also played her in Episode III, but I don't even remember her in that so take that how you will).   3. I'm wondering if the Rebel guy with the mustache is Biggs. It looks like him, but I don't think

Rebootbusters

Since you guys seem to like debating the new Ghostbusters movie and the neccesity of reboots, I guess I'll throw in my two cents. Just a forewarning, I've never seen a Ghostbusters movie or any of Melissa McCarthy's work, so this is more on the topic of reboots and remakes as a whole.   The fact is, hardly any movies actually need a reboot and are usually just to cash in on nostalgia. But that doesn't mean all reboots are bad. I liked Disney's new Cinderella movie even though nobody was asking f

Pokeymans

I'm kind of bummed that Nintendo didn't show any new Pokemon from Sun and Moon during the Direct (the code bird doesn't count), but I probably just overhyped myself considering how much of XY we saw when they were announced.   Also they better make Mega Solrock and Mega Lunatone for the new games (but make them exclusive to the opposite versions just to mess with everyone).

Pokemon Insanity

So apparently this is a thing people can do with TASBots:     (Note that this is an unaltered ROM of Pokemon Yellow and could work on actual GameBoy hardware)         I don't understand technology anymore.

Penny for your Thoughts

You can go back in time and change the dialogue in any one scene from a movie of your choice, the exception being that you can't change the course of the plot (i.e. you can't change who Sherlock Holmes says is the murderer).   What would you change and why? (Remember to tag any spoilers)

Parsec for your Thoughts

In honor of May the 4th, what is your favorite Star Wars spin-off in any media (TV, books, games, etc...)?   Also I know Star Wars uses credits as currency, but parsec is more recognizable.

Nickel for your Thoughts Redux

If you could replace any actor in any movie past or present with Christopher Walken, what would you choose and why?   (Let's stay on topic this time)

New Name?

So I'm thinking of changing my display name, but I don't know what to pick, so pitch me one. It could be anything you want (Bionicle, Lego, TV, movies, alpacas, expensive cheeses, etc.). I'll pick whichever one I like most or have a vote if I can't decide.

My Favorite Thing in Doctor Who

Is that because its been on the air for 50+ years, a monster like this     and a monster like this     are both equally canon and valid designs.

Meep

Thanks to Chromedome for the name idea. I'll switch back to Hordaki eventually, but for now I wanted something different.
