Was the Legend of Mana one in Gato Grottoes? Because I can't think of any place else that had a waterfall. I can't even remember if you went behind one there. I remember a fallen tree trunk you walked across a pond to get something for Niccolo, and I think there was a waterfall in the background, but I thought that was as far as that screen goes. I have the game in my PS2, I should just look.

Where was there one in Breath of Fire 2? That game hasn't stuck with my memory...

lars and the real girl(the movie):
well f%k. someone took ronny's idea more seriously than i did. now i feel really bad for not finishing the script for "gorilla's day out".

this game really punishes you for not leveling up as much as possible in the earlier scenarios.reached... i think scenario 16, where i'm hunting down a dragon in a cave. got 4 of my heroes killed off inculding the 2 magic-user chicks. sad. i think their attacks and troops...

"Hero of the Wind" sounds so wimpy, lame, and non-threatening.

I wasn't counting reusing bosses or them becoming normal enemies, but I forgot about LttP.

"Hero of Time" sounds a lot more important than "Hero of the Wind", no?

There were things at least like boss rehashes in some of the other Zelda games. In the first Zelda, some bosses are used more than one, or reappear as nonboss enemies in later dungeons.

In ALttP, I remember than in Ganon's tower, you refought the bosses for the first three pendants (the knights, the sand worms, and the other worm).

And, yeah, the story is ridiculous. Throughout the entire game, the wind is just a gameplay element (and an annoying one). Then, at...

I beat Wind Waker. It blew.

Some random stuff about the endgame:

- I believe this is the first Zelda I've played to have a boss rehash.

- The scene before Puppet Ganon was almost as fucked up as Puppet Ganon itself: Zelda's asleep in bed, Ganon's sitting on the bed next to her with his back to her. Let's not go there. And then Ganon says some random sentences, and yells "YOUR GODS DESTROYED YOU!" as the controller rumbles. OMG!

I got six of the maps translated (Why do you need pictures translated???), because that's all I had the money for. Then I went sailing around and pulled up those six pieces. I sold Beedle a bunch of spoils and pulled up some silver rupees, got the other two translated, save, and quit.

I'll be so glad when I'm done with this crap pile.

I thought Crystalis had a behind-the-waterfall moment, and just confirmed it:

FO also just reminded me that there's one in Earthbound (Belch's Base)

Just finished watching the final episode of Battlestar produced to date. Watched three years worth in eight days.

I don't know what I'll be doing next.

Whose bright idea was the "labyrinth" that was just several circular rooms of button mashing a bunch of enemies to death?

I'm kind of gameless right now and it's pissing me off a little. I sent back Okami and Odin Sphere at the same time. Usually I play the second game while the first one goes back. I decided that if I could remake Sonic 2 into the perfect game, it would be this.

The whole game takes place in Chemical Plant Zone. That stage is turned into one of the pinball levels that loops infinitely so you can play pinball and listen to the music. When you want to beat the game, you just...
