Isn't that the Great Deku Tree? Or, are you referring to something else.

Comparing consoles shouldn't be done, but games can be compared. But with that, games can only compared under certain conditions. Like: Don't compare 2 total different genres. Ex: Platformers and FPS's. Don't compare an older game to a new game in terms of graphics and power. Etc,etc,etc. But you have a point: Microsoft clearly owns the online district of gaming, and Sony dominates the single player market.

Hey, this topic is where I'll start posting my music. I make my music using the software Mixcraft 5.1. I created this song to be used in a boss battle, or a suspenseful event. The track is about 1:30 long. This track is my first track, and was composed in about 1 1/2 hours. Download Here! And I really shouldn't be calling it "stuff" just yet, considering theres only one thing. But there will be more

Easy, im a master at mazes. My hill.

Nope, Naxy, it isnt always necessary On my old Windows XP, I didnt have it in the root.

*cough* Naxy, it can work for you if you don't use the root, too. I know it works for me *cough*

I've got a rant. The Patriots freakin' lost to the Jets. Now that pisses me off. 14-2 Record and they lose... They were the best in the NFL for god's sake.

I don't know who that is. My hill.

Granted, its dirty money. I wish for more subs.

No, I'm just really good at mazes

2:46 minutes

Granted, you'll die. I wish for something cool.

Granted, the wish never happened. I wish my brand new copy of F-Zero (Original) arrived all ready >.>.

Ahh yes, much better format Thanks for this, spinout!

Sorry i didn't take a look at this thread a week ago! I'm liking what I'm seeing, the transitioning is really nice!

Not mine, I think its either MNGE's or Zeth's.

Most likely reserved for ToT. Remains in cutscene view until you move Link. 101-- Similar to 100, but does not use cutscene mode. Instead starts with the camera at a very high angle that slowly moves down to Link when he's on the ground. Also likely meant for ToT. 102-- Similar to 100, but the camera starts behind Link and the interface behaves as normal. Very likely used in ToT for typical transitioning sequences. 103-- Similar to 102, but with cutscene mode enabled. 104-- Similar to 102, but with the camera at a normal level. 105+- Same as 102. 200-- Camera starts way off in cutscene mode, but Link spawns normally and can move around. Camera and cutscene mode do not return to normal, though. 201-- Camera starts way off in cutscene mode with Link unable to move. Camera then moves in towards Link and cutscene mode deactivates. Probably used for an intro sequence. 202+- Link falls from high above and then gently lands on the ground. 300-- Camera is far off and stuck in cutscene mode; Link appears, but is immobile. 301-- Camera starts far above and gently zooms in with cutscene mode disabling about partway through. Appears to work more smoothly than 101. 302+- Camera acts normally; Link appears, but is immobile. If he gets injured or sent flying he becomes mobile. 400-- Link jumps up and lands lightly on the ground, but the camera is nowhere near him and stuck in cutscene mode. 401-- Link jumps up slightly and lands on the ground. The camera starts off superbly high and then moves back down to a sane level. 402+- Link jumps up slightly and lands on the ground (yeah, grotto hole behavior for sure). The camera behaves normally. 500-- Link warps in (green particles). Again, the camera is stuck in cutscene mode. 501-- The same, but with the camera up high. 502+- The same, but the camera warps behind Link after he finishes beaming in. 600-- Farore's Wind, it appears, but guess what? You can't see it because the camera is in cutscene mode, staring into the abyss. 601-- Farore's Wind, but Navi appears to wander off a bit. Camera starts off high. 602+- Navi zooms off, then Link jumps out of the ground. Farore's Wind warps towards Link. Camera is normal. The unusual behavior is probably because the tested environment did not have Farore's Wind cast at the time. 700-- Link gets tossed onto his tucchus, but again, you can't see it. 701-- Link gets tossed onto his tucchus as the camera slowly zooms in. 702+- Link gets tossed onto his tucchus with the camera right behind him. 800-- Link walks forward, but you can't see. 801-- Link walks forward slightly with the camera starting up high. 802+- Link walks forward slightly with the camera following behind. 0000 0147 033B F360 0000 C000 0000 0FFF 0 327 827 -3232 0 -16384 0 4095

Granted, you get 3 Feet of Snow from Central New York. (Sounds worse than it is >.>) I wish that my superintendent wasn't from Alaska so we could actually have snowdays >.>

I kill Else. My hill.

Granted, but Gary Oak gets jealous of you and kills you. I wish for my science teacher not to be a bitch
