The amount of nostalgia here made me tear up a bit. There is a mistake in naming Fox as James McCloud. Still awesome video.

The Death and Return of Superman
This is funny as hell. Has some nice celebrity cameos. Well done!
My first impressions of Skyward Sword after two hours. More later when I play further.
Basically after beating Skyward Sword you are able to start a second playthrough that is a lot harder. I’m very excited about this. I will record a full playthrough of this and upload to youtube.
A full normal mode playthough just does not seem as interesting to me since most people will be playing the game in that mode anyway. I will still capture any interesting side quests or heart container locations as well as first impressions of the game.
- Enemies do double damage
- There are no heart drops or heart flowers (unless you have a particular medal equipped which gives you a very small chance of getting a heart drop)
- The Sheikah Stone gives you all the hint clips from the beginning
- A bunch of NPCs acknowledge the fact that you’re playing in Hero Mode and let you skip certain tutorials/explanations
Good stuff though. Especially about the double damage and no heart drops. If you do not already know, Skyward Sword enemies take off a minimum of one heart damage. This is unlike in past 3D Zelda games where enemies would deal a quarter to a half heart of damage. The damage dealt to Link in Skyward Sword is so much greater than previous Zelda games that you start out with 6 hearts instead of the standard 3. The minimum health was changed to keep the early game balanced and feel the same as earlier Zelda games, but also allow the game to remain somewhat of a challenge as you gain more heart containers.
One of the problem of enemies taking a quarter heart of damage in past Zelda games is, while the early game felt fine in difficulty, the later parts became trivial at about 12+ hearts. Thus there is no incentive of getting 20 hearts, unless you are a completionist or beating Cave of Ordeals in Twilight Princess.
Also, there is no ability to pause the action via opening menus like in past Zelda games. Selecting items and potions in your inventory is done in real time.
Speaking of potions, the game does not freeze enemies during the drink animation. Therefore, drinking a potion is risky because you are venerable to enemy attacks.
There is an item upgrade system and potion crafting in Skyward System, so this Hero Mode could prove to add quite amount more depth and replay value to the game.
There is so much potential in hero mode to make it more challenging. For example, since there is no heart drops, you could do a one heart (take damage until you are at one heart) and no potion challenge with no deaths. Stuff like that.
Can’t wait. Skyrim will keep me busy until then!
So I got invited to be a Youtube partner

Just waiting for activation to start making money on my videos. Just to let everyone know I do playthroughs videos and tips for select games I play. All videos have live commentary that serve as impressions and review of the game. I also discuss the game design philosophies as well the gaming industry if I find something in the game that may be relevant.
I have a rough schedule in place for videos… .
October 25 - 31 : Kirby’s Return to Dreamland (Wii)
October 25 - onward: Battlefield 3 (PC). I will be uploading select multiplayer sessions
November 1 - 10: Uncharted 3 and Sonic Generations and maybe Lord of the Rings: War of the North (PS3).
November 11 - onward - Skyrim (PC). Know way can I do a full playthrough a week. I will play select sections of the game and show off quests, character builds, and mods.
November 20 - Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I expect to get a lot of views from this playthrough.
I still need to finish uploading my Deus Ex playthrough. Had to put it on halt because Youtube has been screwy with upload errors and such for the past month and a half. I’m almost done with the game. I just need to upload footage sitting on my harddrive plus I have a ton of parts just sitting in private until I am done. What happened was I would upload footage and it will error out, or complete and not show up. So yeah, that is the reason my Deus Ex playthrough looks incomplete.

And this why the aliens have not bothered to invite into their United Federation of Planets.
Man buys nice house for $16 using the adverse possession law. A lot of people don’t know about this . I’ve known about it for a few years now.
Neighbors are mad as shit. LOL! You mad bro?
So the girl, Courtney Stodden, in this video is 16 years old. She just recently got married to 51 year old Doug Hutchison known for such roles as Percy Wetmore in the film Green Mile, and Horace Goodspeed in Lost. What the fuck?
Seriously how a man even meet a 16 year old? I can’t even imagine what one would do with a 16 year for a date. It’s like activities and places to go is severely limited.
By the way this song and video does not help the situation.
Bad parenting all around.
