I went ahead bought copies of Harmony of Dissonance, Circle of the Moon, and Aria of Sorrow from Ebay.  Grand total for all three was under $30, which isn't bad.

Did you get the Aria/Harmony double pack on one cart? I picked that up really cheap a couple of years ago (though it forgot my HoD save. Game sucks anyway)

Yeah, HoD and Aos came on one cart.  I'm going to test the saves on all of them and get a refund if there are any problems.

Ganon's Castle is definitely quite big mostly because of all of the seal breaking rooms. Not sure if I'd say it was bigger than something like the Water or Shadow Temples though, but that may be because those two are my least favorite of the Adult dungeons in OOT which make them feel longer than they really are.

Ganon's Castle is really short actually, the seal breaking things are little one room challenges and the rest of the way up is just a couple floors between long staircases. There's really not much to it.

Yeah, that's true now that you mention it. Those challenges aren't really that big, are they? Comparing that to the original's Death Mountain where nearly the entire map is filled with rooms, puzzles, enemies, and the like, it doesn't even come close.

And I've only played LttP once, but I don't really remember a final dungeon there. Don't you kinda just walk up to the pyramid and fight Ganon in the end? It's been so long that I've forgotten most of the game at this point.

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!
No, the last dungeon, Ganon's Tower, is a 8-floor behemoth.  Once you whip the boss, he transforms, flies off, and creates the hole in the pyramid, through which you drop for the final battle.

I like turtles.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 spoilers, if anyone cares.


I don't care about the actual game, but since I've been into Ace Attorney lately, I've got to admit that this looks great.

MvC3 is actually a really solid game, but the fighting genres recent move to not give you any unlockables and Capcom's move to be complete wankers when it comes to extra content made me lose interest fast.

Heh, funny how I only remember the brief part at the end of that. But then yeah, that would qualify under the "huge test of endurance" type I mentioned before. Makes me wonder... how is Link's Awakening's final area?

Link's Awakening final dungeon thing is just a maze with no enemies. A library book has the directions for you.

The last proper dungeon's pretty big tho.

I just unboxed this hat in TF2. It just came out yesterday, and your chances of unboxing it are 00.5%. Your chances of getting a box itself are rare as well. Opening a box costs $2.50


According to a thread I posted, this hat is worth anywhere from $300-$800. Real. Life. Money.

Time to make some bank.

Yeah really, just trying to find a trusted buyer now online. I used to do some serious runescape black market stuff like 6 or 7 years ago so I'm pretty familiar with trading items for currency.


It's kinda funny cause I only unboxed like 6 crates the entire time I've ever played TF2. I've seen people unbox sometimes 30 at a time (costing them $75 IRC to unbox that many) and they get nothing but crap.

Bought a decent on-sale 6 x 4 leather journal thing from Barnes and Nobles. Once it gets here, I'm going to draw an outline of Skyrim on the first page.

Then, once Skyrim comes out, as I play I'll make my own map. I won't look at the in-game map and cheat (if I can help it) and mark down locations and things. Possibly dungeons as well, and keep a crude day-by-day journal of my doings.

It's nerdy as hell but goddammit it'll be totally awesome and in 20 years when I find it in a box it'll be the coolest thing ever.

If it's a RRoD, just use the towel method, it actually works. Only for a little while though, when it happened to my cousin during thanksgiving break a few years ago we had to do it twice. It worked both times, but only for a few days or so.

I have no idea what the towel method is. But if it only works for a little bit when other people do it it'll probably set my Xbox on fire when I try it.

It's to do with crappy solder connections burning out. The 'towel method', if it's anything like the hairdryer method for fixing the yellow light on PS3s, basically consists of heating up your console to the point where the solder fixes itself enough for things to work again. A friend of mine put his 360 in a trouser press and it worked for a while.

A piece of advice I heard was, if it keeps rrod'ing but you can keep fixing it temporarily, you can trade it in and cut your losses on a new console so long as it works when they try it out in the shop.

You wrap up your 360 in a towel, you leave it on for like 10 minutes or something, and then shut it off. TGM explained it pretty well, it works longer for some people but meh.

you can also just contact microsoft and they'll replace it for free. just sayin.

They shouldn't have to replace it at all because the fucking thing shouldn't be breaking all the time.

This is going to be my third 360 in like three years. The first one lasted a whole day! I have had hard drives last longer than this piece of shit and those fuckers hate me.

I'm going to blame Sony for this, if they made non shit controllers and sold PS3s at a remotely reasonable price early on I'd have gotten one of those.

you know you can get 360-esque controllers for ps3, right?
