Quote by BoyzRFlatt:


I just read something horrible about Zelda: Majora's Mask.

There is a strange looking deku-like bush that Tatl, Link's fairy guide, says looks kind of like you, from the very very beginning of the game right after you're turned into a Deku yourself. The masks in the game that allow you to turn into other forms are derived from the spirits of an individual that is deceased. There is a Deku Butler that we meet at one point that tells you you remind him a lot of his sun. In the credits, there is a picture of the Deku Butler standing extremely sad-like in front of that strange looking deku-like bush. This can only mean that that bush is the Butler's son and that Skull Kid killed him in order to make the mask that turns Link into a Deku. This game just got way too dark for me. I'm literally hysterically crying and convinced I'm going to have terrible nightmares about this tonight.



You heard the theory that when Link falls through the (tree?) at the beginning of the game, he actually died, and the entire game is purgatory. A dreary, endless cycle. And when he "beats" the cycle and wins, you see him ascending. He's actually ascending to heaven. Given that Majora's Mask on the official timeline, is the ending for this "Link", you're actually playing the entire game as a dead man. And the epic hero died, while trying to be reunited with Navi.



I find that almost somewhat satisfying. It doesn't resonate with me the same though. Thats kind of just speculation where as this is completely meant as an unspoken truth

So we are in the middle of moving near my daughter and I ask her dad if we can pick her up for a few hours on Sunday. A little later, I was talking to her on fb and mentioned "I asked if you can come over Sunday- maybe I'll get to see you this weekend." So he writes me, blasting me for "putting her in the middle" and not waiting for him to answer me. Whatttt??? He asks her if she wants to go to his mother's house, or his ex wife's, or her friends or whatever, he lets her decide if she wants to stay home alone, but suddenly she can't know if I want her to come to my house???? What the hell is that?? Discussing visitation has never been off limits, considering he's like "sorry, you can't go to the anime convention- your mom is taking you for Easter..." How is that better?

So mad right now. I am tired and sad and worn out and homeless at the moment... So sorry I don't want to jump through your imaginary fucking hoops to see my child. Arghhh.

Oh, and his emails are all "us" and "we" and "if you want to see her, call my girlfriend and ask permission." Why the hell does this fucker keep inserting women in her life and then giving them authority over me??

If you have access to a snowblower/plow you can make a lot of quick cash. I realize not everyone has those things laying around, but mine has paid for itself several times already.

What grinds my gears - Gamerscore point distribution that doesn't make sense.

BLOPS specifically.

15 points for gathering all Intel which leads me to replaying most of the game again closely following a guide, level by level.

While using the crossbow and not being discovred for 3 minutes in one level nets me 50 points.

It should have been the opposite. 15 points for not being discovered and 50 for the collection achievement.

Having a good gamer-night, then 2am knock at my condo door- next door neighbor saying "are you playing COD (call of duty), you're cursing cuts rights through. I said yes "am drunk", but it was actually Peggle 2 on Xbox One. I'll be okay- but kind of weirded out- that my "FUCKS!" and "SHITS!" carried over to his rented condo next door- with his stupid girlfriend. Enough, for him to knock on my door. Dammit Peggie.
