I loved OoT back when I beat it, but I cannot guarantee I still would. Many early 3D games don't hold up as well anymore -- especially without a great storyline to motivate you, something Zelda never really had. I can say that it was one of the most enthralling experiences a video game of it's generation ever gave me. The world was huge, and amazingly explorable for its time, and its music will entrance me forever (especially the song of storms.)
It's possible OoT's age may have gotten to you if you played it when yesterday's next-gen consoles were out. Then again, every game isn't for every person.

This song is just awesome, period. Instant favorite.
My exact thoughts.

Now here's some quality craftsmanship.
Wow, that's pretty cool. The mouse would probably be uncomfortable, but the keyboard seems pretty cool. I looked it up, and apparently you can buy it for $20 http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=woodkybmou&cm_mmc=geekmail-_-newarrivals_html-_-19jan07-_-naproduct&AID=10439518&CJPID=1992680
I don't plan on getting or anything, but that seems like a pretty good deal.

No, I like my keyboard shortcuts in windows. a well-coded game would automatically disable it anyway.
The windows key is the most useless key regardless. I can easily just click the start menu as fast as I can push the button for it.

The keyboards Atomicfog posted are true gamer keyboards because they don't have a Windows key.
Exactly
. Though anyone who has a Windows key on their keyboard can say goodbye to that key by disabling or remapping it with this VERY handy free application:http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/
Personally, I made mine into another control key.

My keyboard kicks your keyboard's ass.
Think you're old school?
Or you can just run with it...

No, no, and no.
Get the Razer Deathadder. It's so comfortable compared to Razer's other mice since they are meant for right and left-handed people. Not saying the Logitech's are bad though
Yeah, I haven't looked at mice for awhile, so I missed the Deathadder, which, apparently, would definitely be the mouse of choice if one were to go with a Razer. Personally, I cannot imagine a mouse more comfortable than the Logitech G5, it feels amazing.
-
Not to try and steal the thread btw, but does anyone have any recommendations on a killer gaming mouse?
One of these two: http://www.techspot.com/reviews/hardware/mouse_roundup_gaming/
I have the Logitech MX518, which is basically the optical predecessor to the Logitech G5. I bought it before the G5 came out, but it is still awesome. I would probably go for G5, because it's cheaper, and Logitech is awesome.

I've only commented on two other pieces since I first discovered OCremix in 2002, and the fact that I am commenting on this piece means I feel it is one of the best remixes I've ever heard. Completely flawless, it really stands far above anything that has been on OCR recently. Beautiful only begins to describe 'Gale of Ages'.

Am I the only one that thinks that apple keyboards are butt-ugly?
Just terrible. My university has few of these Macs and at first, I was happily supprised. Then I was lightly anoied, when I found out that I didn't know how to operate the system. Well, this was someting that I could still live with. Lean something new everyday and so forth. BUT THE KEYBOARD!!! OH GOD!!
It seems like nearly everything Apple has released within the last few years looks like a lifeless, white, shell of a product.

pics or gtfo
Google is easy to use, but pics are always nice.
While the G15 looks really cool, I'm more than satisfied with the keyboard I bought for my laptop (my laptop's "D" key stopped working). It's not quite as fancy, but it's stylishly simplistic, and it was only $20 with the google checkout deal at Buy.com. It's slim, light, and it isn't clunky like desktop keyboards, but it has feels more "crisp" than a normal laptop keyboard.

Vista will take as much time to stop sucking as XP did.
Depending on your point of view that should be anywhere from one more year to never.

would it have been locked
Because it "belongs in the PSP thread".
-
Uh, why?
Why what???
-
Looks really great. I would have gotten it, but I beat FF: Tactics on the PSP emulator right before they announced this.
Side Note: Ironically, a couple of years ago this thread would have been locked. I'm glad things have changed.

Someday when I have the time and money I will do this (only better):
I will then proceed to knock on peoples door, and when they open up I will do this:

So agreed. I always though Halo PC was far superior to the console version.
Yeah, it will be awesome and superior if/when it actually comes out. Unfortunately that won't be any time soon according to the article below. Besides, Halo 2 PC just recently came out. Shows you how much they care about the PC version. Luckily UT3 will be here in no time.
Thursday 16-Aug-2007 9:42 AM "I can tell you for a fact that there's not one line of code written for a PC version at this point", says BungieShould Halo 3 not come out on PC, we'll eat our own hairy backs. Like flagship Xbox games Halo, Halo 2 and Gears of War before it, it's clearly going to end up on Windows.
However, Bungie says it's not even a twinkle in its eye at the moment - understandably so as it's approaching the release of Halo 3 on Microsoft's console.
"I can tell you for a fact that there's not one line of code written for a PC version at this point", Bungie's Frank O'Connor has told GameSpot.
"We're not working on it, Microsoft hasn't even chatted to us about it yet. They realise the important thing is to get the 360 version [out] at this point."
We'd fully expect Halo 3 on PC to support cross-platform online play with Xbox 360 over Live, and for this reason we wouldn't be surprised if we saw a far shorter release gap between Halo 3 on 360 and PC that we saw with Halo and Halo 2 on PC and Xbox.

Halo games are too slow for me... Feels like you're walking with an anchor strapped to your back -- I guess that is what happens when you're constantly wearing a two ton suit.
Also, there is the fact that the Halo series just now caught up with UT2K4 in FPS innovation. There are hardly any features in Halo 3 that really go beyond UT2K4, and UT2K4 came out three years ago.
In any case, I'm not in here to "hate" on the Halo series. They are both solid and fun games, though not entirely worthy of all the praise they get. I'm guessing that the Halo series is so popular because console shooters are so easily approachable, and the Halo series are some of the best console shooters. It just doesn't seem quite so great when compared to modern PC FPS games. In any case, I would like to try Halo 3 (possibly buy eventually), but I have a feeling UT3 is going to blow it out of the water.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is great online.

Yep, I still miss the blue. Much more roomy and less "arctic".
Yeah, the blue was always much better and more welcoming.
I wonder if my original really old wayback machine post is anywhere to be seen using the wayback machine.
-
Yeah, I saw it on opening day -- excellent movie. I highly recommend seeing it.

That's a good thing. WoW generally makes a mockery of the Warcraft lore. Warcraft III does, too, but that's another story.
I'm one of the few who abandoned Warcraft due to continuity-bending. I also can't stand instancing.
I never played WOW, but there is hardly any continuity bending I've ever encountered throughout the rest of the awesome series.

BOOOOO
VERY, VERY disappointing.
Yeah, I agree with you and the audience in that regard. Hopefully we'll see the alliance's perspective of hammer time.

I feel bad for not liking Ocarina of Time.

I agree. I would only care about Zelda's timeline if there was an actual storyline that went with it. Playing Zelda for the story is like playing Mario for the story, which is like playing Pong for the story.
