Skultullas? 'Bout time. I missed those motherfuckers! Now I need to get my Wii back up and running... Sad

Must find new wires. *sobs*

by **Thelos** Sat Nov 19, 2011 12:49 pm

This may sound strange, but I think one of my favorite additions may be the stamina bar. It feels very natural in a game where you are constantly swooping around the Wiimote, sometimes even tireing yourself out! If your arm starts getting lame from swining the Wiimote too much, Link will feel it too. In fact, his panting quickly becomes as familiar as the well known moans and "Hiyahs", if not more so.

by **Muzjhath** Sat Nov 19, 2011 1:00 pm

The stamina bar is fantastic, makes the game so much more strategic and tactic in basicly everything you do. And Thelos, I have killed four of the said spiders in total and encountered my first Miniboss. Then my mom occupied the TV for Biathlon (the skiing and the shooting thingy).

Arrg! I want to use Links new toy!

Yea... that came out as wrong as I wanted! Soon I get the TV again, only fourty minutes and then mom won't take it this evening as she did last!

And Morinth I believe you can get the wires rather cheaply.

by **Morinth** Sat Nov 19, 2011 1:08 pm

I hope so! I have a rather large tv in the living room. Mounted on the wall. Shit's gonna be fantastic.

by **Morinth** Sat Nov 19, 2011 1:13 pm

... I should probably finish playing with Skyrim first, or I'll never finish anything. I'll dig out my Wii and see what needs replaced! Seeing as my room's been uninhabitable for over 2 months now because my mother can't keep her focus when decorating. 2 months of sleeping on the couch... FML.

So I've clocked in on 11 hours so far, and I have to say, it's actually getting better! I'm starting to feel like there is probably some secret variation of carpal tunnel I'm going to catch from all this intensive waggling. I think the Brits call it "Wanker's Cramp", but I'm not sure. God damn is my right wrist getting sore.

by **Muzjhath** Sat Nov 19, 2011 11:05 pm

I've played for around 11 hours. Right now running around trying to get into the third place while chasing after that infernal runner!

by **Morinth** Sun Nov 20, 2011 10:23 am

So last night, a ton of old friends suddenly got me on skype and asked if I played LoL. They're stalking me.

I'LL NEVER QUEUE ALONE AGAIN. *cheer*

For those of you watching the games! Empire destroyed the 'amazing' SK Gaming.

I was watching the MLG tourny myself, cheering for Team SoloMid!

Saw that one live on their livestream with a few pals. We were all nerdgasming.

I have no idea what happened in that clip. It didn't look very exciting, but it sure as hell sounded exciting.

In essence, they pulled off something very coordinated and skilled, by killing three people at the same time.

You won't understand a word of this.

Ashe (Archer lady) Fired her Ultimate at them. The large, blue, ice arrow. Which slowed them. So Karthus (You can't see him. He has a Global Ultimate that hits all enemy players) popped his Ultimate. That's the red liney thing that suddenly appeared on the SK players. Now Nunu (Yeti) was in the brush. You can't see the enemy in the brush unless you're in it yourself, or have it warded. They clearly never warded it. Nunu popped his Ultimate. It slows you while you're in it, and goes BOOM! at the end. Now they couldn't see his using it, nor did they notice the slow because Ashe had already slowed them. The combination of all 3 players using their ultimates against the team was fucking brilliant. Empire beat SK gaming with 20 kills to 5 or something at the end of the game. :3 A fantastic score, considering I'd watched other pro games ending with maybe, 10 kills max per side.

PLAY LOL. DO IT. Very Happy

by **Muzjhath** Sun Nov 20, 2011 11:35 am

I don't enjoy the "DOTA" playstyle... So why would I play it?

by **Lyniath** Sun Nov 20, 2011 11:47 am

Mori is teaching me how to play LoL Razz

Also, regarding Zelda; I saw an advert for it, and it looked like a DS game visual-wise.

Entirely not true.

Now I feel dirty because I said something pro-Zelda. Ugh.. time for a shower -.-

YOU DID GOOD! You got dem kills from me when I was Udyr. xD I didn't get my first kill for ages, never mind 3 in one game. Although Faralan had me playing against high level players straight off as Annie. And to this day, I can't play Annie Very Happy

I had those same FPS problems in that last game though. Neutral

Do what I do! I was defensive as Brand and managed to fend off their Nocturne/Mundo combo and get first blood too. Very Happy

Never rush into a creep wave if you can't see your enemies, they'll pick you off. And with your lag, more so. Once you get the hang of it, you can be a bit more aggressive. I'm all up in their faces when I play certain champions. XD

by **Lyniath** Sun Nov 20, 2011 11:55 am

I shall take your advise, noble sage!

by **Morinth** Sun Nov 20, 2011 12:01 pm

... I hate those things. As someone who grew up with the REAL My Little Ponies, those anorexic freaks anger me. They are not cute, they are freaks.

Bronies die by my hand.

Blame Pest.

by **Morinth** Sun Nov 20, 2011 12:07 pm

Pest is responsible for this outrage? She shall be removed from her "Captain-when-I'm-not-there" rank.

by **Lyniath** Sun Nov 20, 2011 12:09 pm

Pest is responsible for most outrages, let's be honest.

I've just now popped in that annivesary orchestra CD and...Holy shit why did I not listen to this sooner? This is some of the finest orchestrated videogame music I ever heard. Absolutely gorgeous. I've grown so used to streaming that I nearly forgotten how excellent CD quality can be.

by **Muzjhath** Tue Nov 22, 2011 10:19 pm

Hahah, I listened to the CD before I played the game. xD Mostly as I didn't get the TV right away. Want to use the good one in the house, not the bad one in my room.

As for the game, some 20 hours in. Second turn in the desert. And it is fantastic.
I'd say I'm enjoying it more than both A Link to the Past and Majoras Mask, which are/were my fav Zeldas. (aLttP for story, MM gameplay)

The best Zelda in any game by far as well. *mutters about the blackclothed bitch*
Also, awesome villan. So bloody freaky and arrogant. Ganondorf can go take a hike (a side from when I'm using him in SSBB)

by **Thelos** Tue Nov 22, 2011 10:38 pm

O wow I'm way behind and at 25 hours in, I guess I suck more than I realised :p
