[OOC] Legend of Zelda: The Templar Crusade

And I just hope you don't get the impression that I idolize the US military, because I don't. It has flaws, just like any institution, but it's one of the better routes to go when leaving high school, especially considering I can't afford college and I refuse to take out a student loan. I'd rather not leave college owing almost ten thousand dollars to some company or the government.

It's alright, but it was kind of going there a little bit in my view. You know if you wanted to go to college so much, you can go to university for free in Norway with living expenses being considerably less than tens of thousands of dollars or study in another country and get experience that way while becoming enriched in the culture, I even had a student from the US in my class.

You don't always need a college education to get a job or a chance in life; I thought my way of living was sign of that.

[Kalamadea]

I may or may not go to college. I may just do military as a career, because the retirement benefits are quite nice (minimum of 50% of your salary (and up to 75%) for the rest of your life along with free medical care) and it's stable. If I do go to college, there's a chance it'll just be to get a better pay grade in the military. Plus, military also lets me see the world with relative ease, such as little, if any, travel costs.

[Mogtaki]

The problem with that is they know you'll get health problems later on, the retirement thing is very sketchy too. When my grandad retired, it was more of a 'we're laying off some people and you'll get 60% of your wage for retirement' (he accepted it). My dad was in the army and he doesn't receive money from it so getting retirement money is more of a 'maybe' rather than definitely.The problem with travelling too is I am not kidding about the hate the US Army often receives; for example, practically the entirety of Okinawa despises the US Army because the soldiers are arseholes to them.

Just best not having this dreamy view of the army because it's like the American Dream: sounds amazing but isn't all it seems.

[Kalamadea]

I'm also not going into the Army, but Navy does work similarly.

[Mogtaki]

Alright, but I am quite serious when I say watch your back in the Navy, though. There are a lot of sexual harassment and discrimination in the Navy and unfortunately one of those things you need a 'how to' book for; the reason for it being pretty common is people get bored. Still doesn't mean locals will like seeing foreigners in uniform either.

Other than that...Zeruda no Densetsu talketh?

[Kalamadea]

Oh, I already know about that. Still seems like the Army and Marines (especially Marines) are hated more than Air Force and Navy, but still.

Indeed, the Marines are even hated here because they come here to train with the Black Watch because the Black Watch's base is right beside the sea in a 300 year old fort. They make a mess, they're loud and bloody hell they go and get drunk a lot.

Anyway, Caboose it seems the Wind Waker can be used for combat:

[Kalamadea]

Marines will also send you to an insane asylum without telling your family if you break during basic, which happens to a lot of people. They completely break you down and then try to rebuild you, but a lot of time people can't be rebuilt after they're broken.

Also, what the hell is Nintendo doing to Zelda? That game looks awful!

They'll also send you to prison without telling anyone, nevermind to a mental hospital. The US Army aren't any better with even torturing their own soldiers, I mean...Bradley Manning...he's 25.

Oi you don't be hating on Hyrule Warriors yo! It's pretty boss looking and plays really well. You know this is on demonstration mode so the mobs don't attack? Dynasty Warriors does have an extreme mode, you know. You'll look awful after I drop this on your face:

[Kalamadea]

I never liked Dynasty Warriors, actually. So I don't have a good feeling about Hyrule Warriors considering it's just a Dynasty Warriors clone with a Zelda skin slapped over it.

[Mogtaki]

Then don't go saying it looks awful when it's looking really good and an insanely detailed for a game which has gone forward in its looks rather than backwards like a certain game *coughWatchdogscough*. It's a tribute to all that Zelda is and how can it be a clone when it's made by the people who make Dynasty Warriors games?

Man, people ain't happy with anything they get nowadays.

[Kalamadea]

I'd be happy with any Metroid game that comes out. One can only play the Prime trilogy so much before even it starts getting old.

If it weren't styled after Dynasty Warriors, I'd be fine with a fresh gameplay style, would love it, even. To mention Metroid again, I was actually fine with Other M once I ignored the story, which was extremely sexist. People keep citing issues with the gameplay that I just didn't see. I liked how it still felt like Metroid yet played similarly to Ninja Gaiden, right down to the brutal difficulty.

[Mogtaki]

"Metroid? What's a Metroid?" says every possible game developer right now. Not sure why it's taken so long after last instalment was so story destroying.

After seeing Hyrule Warriors played, while it has the massive army and what not it still has proven to look fun especially if you play it with a friend. Impa looks as cool as hell too, plus Agatha. The latest reveal of Fi being playable has made her less annoying and looks pretty fun to control. I just want to know if the villains are going to be controllable because Zant looks awesome and even Ghirahim. The Imprisoned looks really damn funny still even in HD.

And Other M wasn't difficult and this is coming from the European side where our games are often played at the highest difficulty because if it ain't at maximum difficulty, it is over too quickly. The problem with that shoddy game was the control and camera along with the story.

[Kalamadea]

Eh. It could have been worse. I enjoyed it, but still found Prime 2 to be the best of the series.

Link confirmed suplex wrestler I mean wtf he just pulled a pillar out of the ground and went SMACKDOWN!!!



Fun fact: the Japanese text doesn't actually say 'Link & ball and chain' but rather 'Link and glove' I mean wtf Japan first Edge of Tomorrow into All You Need Is Kill and now...

To be fair, the power does seem to be in the gloves rather than simply being used for wielding the ball & chain.

Indeed, but the way it's written is as if the gloves are a sidekick, like instead of Ratchet and Clank it's Link and Glove.

The Legend of Zelda: The Adventures of Link and Glove.

Oh god yes. That would be a great thing.

[Kalamadea]

Post is coming along... very poorly. It'll get here eventually.

Adventures of Link and Glove would end up to be some cracked up dating sim...eheeheehee

Oh me and my dirty mind...
