I have played through it a couple times and it definitely makes my top five Zelda games list. It is quite different from Majoras Mask and Wind Waker. I would say the closest comparison would be Ocarina of Time.

I don't re-watch movies all that often, but I find myself coming back to Blade Runner and Ghostbusters when I do.

I just got a job offer to work at Tripwire Interactive as a QA tester. It's not exactly what I want to do, but I'm super pumped. Tripwire is like the new Valve to me. I'm going to be starting in late May.

That's great! Congrats!

Hello,

I've actually been a member of the site for a few years now haha. Honestly I can't remember the names of all the titles because there were a lot. The games were placed in over the last few years and while going through my collection I noticed a number of them were gone. I never create a new entry unless I am 100% sure it has not already been created. I think I have made less than 10 new entries if I am correct.

A buddy of mine mentioned their was a bug on vg collect a while back that was patched, so I am thinking it may have happened a long time ago.
Don't scare me, I rely on this site to keep track of what I own and what I want to own. If anything were to go missing, I may never know about it and I'd be kinda screwed while managing my collection.

I honestly don't know what ffmaniac2050 is referring to. Way back in our first year, 2011, we lost some data, but nothing else has happened since then. Also Matt changed the way backups are handled after this incident so it never happens again. (If you are still worried you can always export your collection to a spreadsheet as well).

So instead of buying Star Fox Zero today I ended up playing Bravely Default. I bought it way back when it released, but got busy and never came back to it. My file was at the end of chapter one, so I started from there and am into chapter 3 at the moment.

Does anyone else have a stop point where they can no longer enjoy games any older?

I'm that way. Most systems before the NES, I just can't get into. And I've tried. I've owned an Atari 2600 with about 50 games. And I just don't enjoy the single-screen games, or simplicity of the games of that era. I want to feel like I'm making progress, or exploring, or at least furthering a story in a game.

I do like some games on the Commodore 64, though. If only it didn't have the crazy load-times.

Anyone else feel this way?

For me, I just enjoy the pre-NES generation of consoles differently. I normally can't sit down and play a single Atari 2600 or Odyssey² game for hours (except for a few like Wizard of Wor or K.C. Munchkin), but if I am cycling through various cartridges I can spend all day playing these systems. I also love to study the history behind the games/consoles which is one of the main reasons I collect video games. Being that I was born a year after the N64 released, I don't really have as strong of an attachment to the NES era as many others do. Each retro console I play offers a different experience, and it just depends on what type of game I feel like playing at the time.

Off Topic / Re: Username origins.

Back when I was in elementary school I made a RuneScape account around 2007/2008ish. I was completely obsessed with Pac-Man at the time, and based my name off of the DS game Pac-Pix. Oddly enough someone already had pacpix on RS, so I was pacpix5, until I changed it to pac_pix a couple of years ago.

Just finished up my 100% run of Twilight Princess HD. When I played through it on the Wii a few years ago I rushed through the game, but this time I slowed down and really enjoyed the game. Definitely one of the best in the series.

Probably not going to play anything else until Star Fox Zero comes out.

What happened to the one we already had?

What do you mean?

It was a ways back, but I remember being able to get to shelf view through tweaking the url in your profile a little. I found it on a search. But it doesn't work anymore after the big site update happened:

http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,3587.msg37525.html#msg37525

Oh man I completely forgot that it was ever implemented. I thought it was one of the things that Matt was working on, but never finished before VGC 3.0
