Nice belt! I'm dying to know what style that is!

* I do like the costume boots much better than what she has on now; too. I have always liked those high boots that come with those two costumes.

Good luck with that.

I'm really enjoying A Link Between Worlds, tbh

I only ever played A Link to the Past once, years ago (it's on my old Wii), but I immediately recognized some beats from that game carrying over to this one. I like the item rental system because it opened up the game and made it a lot less linear, but on the other hand the dungeons seem a little short.

That or I'm too conditioned to Zelda puzzles and they don't exactly challenge me anymore in spite of the addition of the wall-merging mechanic as another layer to puzzle solving. (I still remember getting stuck on Phantom Hourglass)

'Course, there ARE several optional mini-dungeons where you get money at the end, which I guess does make up for it a little. Since you'll need a ton of money to buy the items for keeps. (They only way you can upgrade them)

ADDENDUM: That said, it isn't an "easy" game in the least. Mostly it's the enemies doing a ton of damage after a certain point :v Also things in are very expensive lol, not just item rental/purchase

Anyways, I'm in Lorule now and retrieved one Sage portrait. Game's opened up a lot now that I have access to the full world...well, giant boulders aside.

I love Link Between Worlds but my only complaint with the game is that you don't get to fight Hilda. I think a battle reminiscing of Agahnim would have been perfect for Hilda.

This vid had some kind of strobing light effect on it that would have caused me to have a seizure if I'd kept watching. I had to shut it off, which I hated to do since I like your vids so much! Do you know what caused that light thing to flicker? It was even doing it in the beginning when the train was standing still.






Ooh, I want to see a vid of your character booting the NCR boss off the Dam!

Flickering is a feature of the "old film" effect filter applied to the video's beginning and end. I used the effect's lowest setting to minimize "strobing." Any setting above that bothered me, and I'm not normally affected by such things. Was hoping my setting choices were mild enough for everyone, but guess not. I thought about re-linking the vid for you, beginning after the "old film" segment ends. Then I remembered the vid ends with the filter applied again.

There is a chance the train route will be seen again within the next several episodes due to a number of scenic improvements made after ep.11 aired. I don't plan to use the "old film" filter for that episode.

Sorry, Mariah did not throw General Oliver off the Hoover Dam. Not her style. She doesn't hate the NCR as a whole, but she thinks they are overstepping their bounds in the Mojave Wasteland. Have some screenshots in the Mojave Meanderings thread though.


The other day I played a bit of Fallout 4. I hadn't played it since August and wow, was I rusty. Good thing my character is so powerful, because I would've gotten wrecked. I was in the midst of finished the DLC with Vault 88, but I took a couple trips outside as well (settlements have to be attacked the WORST. POSSIBLE. TIME.).

I also forgot how rather poorly optimized this game is. I have a really good laptop that has run a couple more intensive games than Fallout 4, but some places outside get some ridiculous slowdowns. Still playable, but frustrating nonetheless. Guess I'll have to turn the settings down just a bit.

Thanks, I would appreciate that. I hate missing something you've made = love your creativity.

Okay, I take this back. The Thieves Hideout, Desert Palace, and Swamp Palace were moderate difficulty and I never got stuck for more than a minute, but the Dark Palace was pretty dang tricky (with a fun and interesting gimmick to boot) and I still can't figure out how to enter Turtle Rock. IDK what to expect from that, the Ice Ruins and Skull Woods, but hopefully something harder. :v

You need the quake medallion from the Lake of Ill Omen (the Dark World equivalent of Zora's Domain) buy tossing something in the circle of stones.

Oh, I know the ALttP way, it's the ALBW version that I'm having trouble accessing. (I just cant' for the life of me find the third turtle baby :T)

Oh Here ya go . Not my video but it should help ya .

Here it be, hot off the press: Transport Fever Scenic Excursion ep13 - Epping to Kidderminster Passenger Service "Sexy Rocks" Edition. Besides non use of the 'old film' filter for a portion of the video (thus no 'flickering') this one sports general scenic improvement along the route and a rock cliff constructed not far outside Epping thanks to the newly released mod 'Sexy Rocks.'

ADDENDUM:
Just double-checked the video at YouTube. My issue with YT compression degradation seen in earlier uploads is now much abated. This episode (along with ep11, maybe 12) looks reasonably focused at 1080p in Threater Mode and is now watchable Full Screen. The cure, I believe, is to render YT upload files at a lower bitrate than I previously did. This has the added benefit of smaller file size thus quicker uploading over my slow-as-molasses internet connection.

Oh, thanks! I finally managed to get in after a detour to the Ice Ruins (and than in itself was a doozy). It was the one stuck to the wall that I was missing. :T

I also managed to get 100 rupees in the baseball minigame and get the heart piece. They, uh, weren't exactly clear how the angle and timing of the swing affected the ball's trajectory. Once I got it, it was only a few tries that I finally got 100 (plus 70-80 rupees in unsuccessful tries, better than the 30-ish that I started out with)

So that's a major hurdle for me surmounted! I'm really glad I got this game. I completely forgot about Zelda shortly after Skyward Sword until Breath of the Wild came out.

Couple questions:


* You can't save at any time, right?
* Does it require Steam or other kind of online thingy?

Fairly certain you need Steam. It isn't on gog.com either.

Bah! And I was almost getting excited to play!

You could always buy a console for it!
