I'm confused? Did Bill just tell me I was biased against Nintendo?

We have come full circle everyone.

Zelda: Twilight Princess = Nintendo's MGS4.

That sounds a little harsh. Shouldn't it be more like
Zelda: Twilight Princess = Nintendo's MGS:Twin Snakes*.

*I couldn't sworn we played this game already but now it looks better.
GCN version can count, but since TP has a Wii verison, go with something current.

On that note...

Zelda: Twilight Princess - HYPE DISASTER/5. Whiny fans are to blame for this (and silly Nintendo choices).

It takes a skilled troll to be neutral and controversial at the same time, but here we go. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - 5.5/10. It wasn't really bad, I just never cared enough about it to finish it; it's nothing special.
Don't even joke about that.

That's actually not a joke; I never cared for that game. Hadn't I mentioned it before? I know I've derailed several threads with my distaste for Super Mario World.

I don't recall ever hearing your disinterest in Link to the Past, but I remember well your Mario World comments. What other highly regarded classics, if any, do you not look upon fondly. I'm curious if it is merely a few isolated incidents, a distaste for SNES games in general, or perhaps you don't have a terribly persuasive Nostalgia Monster nagging you to glorify said classic games.

I can't be your number one nemesis; I'm already Lindy's number one nemesis and he'd be mad if you tried to steal me.
How about my number two nemesis? Can you swing that?

This was certainly an unexpected admission of guilt.

You have finally helped me narrow down who that is.
I had it down to 3 people with 2 that it was most likely.
Now I know. the secret is out.

Reggie_FA is Bill?  Maybe, but I don't think we have enough proof to say one way or another.

Wish Bill would return though.

Oh about being "unbiased" LOL.  I heard somebody say they were an unbiased rock music fan once.  He had every Pearl Jam Poster he could find on his wall and as well as a mountain of ticket stubs from their concerts, as well as all their CDs.  Good thing he said he was unbiased, though.

And Reggie's (whoever he is) right.  It's a certain kind of smug assholishness that leads to people saying they are "unbiased."  Not only is it an affirmation that their opinion is somehow better than yours, it's also an indirect accusation of fanboyism for just disagreeing.  And it's even worse when that person is pretty biased himself.  It's like a hypocrite/douchebag character type all in one.  Not very classy.

Well, I never played either game until the GBA versions since I didn't have an SNES and I've barely spent any time with one, so I don't have any nostalgia for them. Then again, that means I also have no nostalgia for Super Metroid and Yoshi's Island, both of which I love enough to have them in my personal top ten.

I can't be your number one nemesis; I'm already Lindy's number one nemesis and he'd be mad if you tried to steal me.

Yeah, I think I can handle that.

Just out of curiosity, how many of those 75 Virtual Console games have you played before you downloaded them?

I just went through the list; I'd only played 24 of them before I got them on the VC.

I prefer all of the Elton John versions over the film versions, personally. Though I'm a fan of his music in general as well.

You pull a Sailor Moon: fight the evil queen with crappy pop vocals singing about the FIGHT ITSELF, use the bad assed silver crystal to make her go poof, and then DIE.

Have a monologue and talk about how good school life and other stuff is, because it's JAPANESE ANIME GIRLY AWESOME, and there, you are alive again but you lost your memories.

That's how life is. We were all Sailor Scouts in our life and we just don't remember it.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.
