So I listened to a recent Giant Bombcast where they explained the PS4 "Neo". After hearing them explain it and the policies Sony will put into place to not alienate their current PS4 fanbase. I'm not so against it anymore.

@Jaysonguy: Yeah, that looks like fun. I did a bunch of yard work on Sunday but it did not include an excavator, it included a Craftsman yard tractor, a shovel, rack, and some Preen. I hate weeds....

@Kruiz_Bathory: A Link to the Past is one of the best adventure games ever made. I would pick that as well. Super Metroid is amazing too but is a totally different type of game.

So really it depends on what genre you feel like playing because all 3 games are way different experiences.

@Jaysonguy: I FORGOT ABOUT SILVERHAWKS! My older brother and I used to love that show.

@iamwreckem711: I've been very intrigued by No Man's Sky since it was shown 2 or 3 E3's ago. I agree with you, it could end up being really boring and overwhelming. I have no way of playing it anyway so it doesn't matter but I still have been keeping an eye on it.

Anyone in here still play the Mario Maker? I uploaded a new level. It's pretty easy, has some keys, and a hidden secret that breaks the level and makes it easier. The name is dumb but wanted to give a small hint that kicking shells makes them act a little differently than throwing them. No one will pick that up but it's there anyway.

Believe it or not, it's still fun to make levels in this game.

Does anyone still follow this thread at all? Oh well, either way here is my latest Mario Maker level for the heck of it. The name is lame but I wanted to post a little hint about kicking shells versus throwing them because it does make a difference. Not a huge deal, it's a relatively easy level and I buried a secret area in it that will basically break the level but in a fun way. Kind of a reward for finding the secret I guess.

@iamwreckem711: I'm always pumped for E3. It's especially amazing when there's a new console unveiling. Now all the PS4.5 and XB1.5 rumors it adds more intrigue.

Those will be definite office day for me.

I forgot to comment on this yesterday. Believe it or not, you can end up with extra keys after dungeons without missing anything. I always had extra keys in the early-going of the game.

On the Zelda topic I've been playing through Ocarina of Time on 3DS kind of on the side... I just finished the Forest Temple... wow is that game still hard to put down. I keep going back and forth on what my favorite Zelda is between Ocarina and A Link to the Past... It's been 10 years or so since playing Ocarina and holy crap is this game amazing to me still.

I find this hard to believe. I imagine the games will work on PS4 but they'll work crapily. I imagine over time the games will be optimized for the updated console and those with the original console will have to deal with less than ideal performance.

It is good for PC gamers that developers are porting a lot more games to PC. The problem is you never know if you're going to get a good version of the game. I think of the last Batman that just never worked no matter how strong your PC is. That initial investment is crazy if you want a PC that will play most games. I can't justify $1000 for a rig that plays most games. Wii U was $350, the NX will probably be what... $400-450... that's like $800 for 2 Nintendo consoles that'll likely keep me happy for 9 years... Would $800 get me a decent PC? I'm guessing probably but I don't think it would be adequate for 8 years. Then again, I'm not that picky either.

I'm rambling... It's nice to have options at least!

@fishpockets: I'd be freakin pissed if I bought a PS4 or Xbox1. They've been out only 2+ years and they're going to be upgrading by the end of this year probably. I see the reason to buy a PC but the advantage of buying a console is so you shouldn't have to worry about upgrading little things all the time for at least 5 years or so. I don't know the first thing about gaming PC's, upgrading processors or video cards, what's the best brands, etc. This changing of the console market is scaring me to say the least.

The fact that Nintendo is jumping from WiiU to their next console so quickly sucks as well so they're not off the hook by any means. The only difference is Sony is dominating the console market where the WiiU is a commercial failure.

@fishpockets: How's your Legend of Zelda progress going? Have you still not looked anything up? I tried doing this with the second quest 2 years ago because I never got very far in it when I was a little kid. I think I finished 4 or 5 dungeons then got stuck. It's great stumbling on a random dungeon.
