If you like mega man x and heavy metal I’m working on a soundtrack patch for it as well. I mean that soundtrack already skewed metal anyway so it’s basically the same soundtrack but with real guitars and real-er synth and drums. Pm me if you need help as it requires a patched version of snes9x and a patched Rom as well as a folder for the pcm files.

It would be cool to play the remakes of Ocarina and Majora too.

Interestingly, both have been subtly Lucas-ified with each iteration.
The sublimely creepy music in the epic Fire Temple of OoT was replaced for the GCN version due to some paranoid imagining of offense to like some Sufi mystics that were sampled in the original soundtrack.
Also, the terrifyingly atmospheric black streaks-and-splatter from OoT’s torture chamber in the haunted mini-temple were scrubbed for the 3DS version due to being too awesomely frightening and disturbing.
I forget what got modified in MM for the moment…
In other words: you’re too late to enjoy the Pure Original True Version™.

Actually the change with the fire temple music happened when it was still on the n64. Iirc by the time they stopped printing the gold cartridges and went to the standard grey cartridges it had already been changed. They also censored ganondorfs blood for some reason.

Have you ever tried the MSU-1 hack that replaces all in game music with symphonic versions? It’s an emulator hack that lets you replace the music in SNES games with PCM wav files. (I’m actually working on a pack myself for the Mega Man X games to have my brand of metal as a soundtrack, but that’s off topic and I’ll post more about it when it’s done) It’s pretty rad. And easier to work than you’d think.

I’ve been with the Zelda series from it’s beginning. It’s cool to look back on it’s evolution.
I haven’t played the 3DS games. Trains and Hourglass don’t look very good, but I’d like to play A Link Between Worlds. I might get a 3DS someday. It would be cool to play the remakes of Ocarina and Majora too.

Eh, the remakes aren’t so much remakes as just emulations with a few spruced up graphics. Imho texture packs on project64 look overall better anyway. (Although I will admit the 3ds versions have better models but they kinda stick out because they clash with the art style)

Nope. A link to the past was, which I also absolutely adore. But to say it’s as good as OOT is in my opinion just nostalgia talking, although it is a fantastic game and I play it at least every two years.
I don’t think ALttP is as good or better or worse as OoT since I mentioned I never played it and have no desire to. Not even through emulation.
I’d rather play Dark Souls, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., The Witcher Trilogy, METRO, and okay.

Well thanks for chiming in to tell us a game you’ve never played isn’t worth the hype, I guess.

Swift Sail takes care of that and it’s available pretty early on.

Alright, quit braggin’.

Skyward Sword is my favorite game of all time!

Anyone who puts SS, or any other LoZ game for that matter, above OoT is not a True Zelda Fan™.
Maybe a Phantom Fan. But never a True.

I’ve never played OoT and MM. I honestly don’t see the hype regarding those two.

Then for all you know the hype is justified. And, it is. They are amazing in ways that words can’t convey. OOT in particular is almost like a spiritual journey.

If you need to B*tch about something <strong>other than originaltrilogy.com</strong>... This is the place

My birthday was a few months ago. I had only a small family dinner. I invited my best female friend to it, and she happily came. Even brought her mother and daughter. It was fine.

Her birthday was last week. Haven’t talked to her all week at all. Then I find out she had a huge fucking party with even a rented party bus and she never so much as mentioned that this was happening and from what I can tell invited pretty much everyone but me. Before I found out I texted her to tell her happy birthdayand deliver the Amazon egift card I bought her. Ignored entirely. On it’s own that wouldn’t have been a big deal because she’s 40 now and didn’t text very much and probably was slightly bombarded with them that day. But together it stings. The fact that she was important enough to me to come to a family dinner but I’m not important enough for a fucking party bus is beyond hurtful. I don’t know what the explanation is for that, maybe it was an all girls type thing that she never thought I would find out about, (which I would accept), but until I get one I get one I’m going to treat her like she doesn’t exist since I apparently stopped existing about a month ago. I’m not planning on asking about it, because if there is an innocent explanation me having asked about it would just needlessly get me in"trouble". So I’ll just see if she brings it up next time I see her.

Bit of background, we’ve been friends for several years so it’s not as if we were just having a fling that just sortof fizzled out.

I haven’t updated the change list or bumped the thread yet, I will when I have more to share.

As you can see my first encounter with frink didn’t go well, in my defense I was like a sophomore in high school at the time.

If you wanted a reason to feel old, frink, I was a high school freshman when I first started posting here and now I live by myself at 23.
