Throughout the world, we have hundreds of distinct cultures, all with different languages, traditions, and religions. It's difficult to know everything about all of them, so I was wondering what cultures you'd like to know more about. Personally, this is a topic that I can go on for days about...

So I was reading around a bit, and I found an interesting little tidbit about the word, "Yuga." Apparently, in Hindu philosophy, it's the name of an epoch or era within a four-age cycle. It made me think about A Link Between Worlds' antagonist, Yuga. I wasn't really sure what to make of the...

The ice bucket challenge is a recent fad aimed at raising awareness for ALS, a disease that afflicts nerve cells and can cause paralysis. This particular disease is increasingly common in professional football players, as their many concussions throughout their football career cause long term...

The Entertainment forum is our area for discussing a wide variety of topics - from music, to movies, to books, etc. Unfortunately, the forum itself is tethered to a handful of topics that dominate that area's discussion. These include, "Which Song Are You Currently Listening To?" "Rate the Last...

As many of you know, Ganondorf was recently confirmed to be a playable character. A brief, yet interesting trailer with gameplay was released once Aonuma signed off, giving us our first look at Ganondorf's appearance and playstyle. Below is the clip...

Sublime is a reggae/ska punk band from the late 80's to late 90's. I've seen a lot of praise over the years for them, my first exposure to them being on a rock station I listened to when I was younger. One of my cousins is also a huge fan of their work, and we've listened to one of their albums...

If there is one thing I love in video games, it's spooky themes. Mario Kart 8's track, Twisted Mansion, is my favorite track in the game simply for the theme in it. Bloodborne has single handedly made me want a PlayStation 4 for the spooky themes that we've seen so far. The list goes on, with...

The beta for PlayStation has been out for a week, and Xbox users got their beta codes this afternoon, yet there's been no thread for it yet. I find it strange, but I digress. So I got my code today, and I love Destiny. Unfortunately I already hit the level cap of 8 in the middle of a dungeon...

So I stumbled upon this while browsing on the sub reddit dedicated to Pokemon. It's an interesting theory, and for once, it isn't that Ash is immortal and/or stealing his companion's youth. I think it's pretty plausible, personally. What do you guys think?

Hey guys, the new screens that were released also showed the Groosinator (shown below). I'm thinking this means that Groose may be announced as being playable in the near future. JuicieJ made a good call earlier with Fi, regarding the tweet using the 98%, and I think that this is an equally...

Link’s Awakening is one of the more underrated games within the Zelda games, as it didn’t revolutionize the gaming world like A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time did. It was almost like the middle child that was forgotten, and its release on the GameBoy probably didn’t help that. And yet...

Hey guys! I've been working on rewriting an old crossover of mine between Assassin's Creed: Revelations and the Legend of Zelda series for about a week now, and I finally finished it. It's only 12 chapters, each chapter being about 800 words, so it's not a whole lot of reading. This is a really...

Everyone experiences books differently, and view them differently from others. As such, we all have those books that we read that made us see the world differently. We may have read them when we were young, when we were in school, or even into adulthood. Sometimes they're something as simple as...

Twilight Princess had Zant, an antagonist that seemed to be the final enemy until Ganondorf came into the picture about halfway through the game. Skyward Sword had Ghirahim, who we knew was trying to revive his master, Demise. A Link Between Worlds had Hilda, who showed her true intentions to...

HD Remakes have been released en masse as of late, and for the past several years. It allows players who never had the chance to play the game during its original release to play it now. For instance, I probably wouldn't have played Halo: Combat Evolved if not for the anniversary edition. It...

Mega evolution has shaken up competitive Pokemon as we know it, and added more elements to the single player aspect of the series. With the new box art for the Hoenn remakes, it is speculated that these new designs for Kyogre and Groudon are actually their mega evolutions. This means it is...

We are seeing Nintendo making crossover titles, with the Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem crossover announced, and with Hyrule Warriors taking elements from Dynasty Warriors. So the question I have today is this: would you be interested in Zelda having any crossover titles with other games...

According to Joystiq, Hyrule Warriors may be releasing on August 14 of this year in Japan. We still know next to nothing about it, including the release date in Europe, Australia, and North America, but a small bit of information has been translated for us, courtesy of Famitsu magazine. Some...

So the next expansion for Blizzard's MMO, World of Warcraft, is releasing a new expansion in Fall of 2014. This expansion, Warlords of Draenor, follows the protagonist's adventure after defeating the former warchief, Garrosh Hellscream. We will be seeing his father, Grom Hellscream, in this...

Wasn't sure if this was the right forum for it, but Vee said it was okay. Anyway. Post those Zelda wallpapers you have. Pics related: they're my Zelda wallpapers.

So recently, a comment in the General Gaming section caught me off guard in a discussion; the poster said something to the effect of, "For an indie game, they put a lot of effort into this." In addition to a comment on Reddit's /r/games that mentioned indie games being filled with gimmicks, I am...

Hey guys, I know I am not that serious all the time, but I sat down today and decided to write a poem. Poetry isn't my strong area, but I felt adventurous today, and I had the creative inspiration to compose something that really speaks to me. I hope you enjoy. Howling at a concrete moon, My...

Hey there guys! With my recent increase in activity on the forums, I couldn’t help but notice that the Writing forum isn’t receiving as much attention as it used to. It’s difficult to see one of my favorite forums on the site to be so disjointed and generally ignored. This particular forum is...

Hey there guys! It's been a bit of time since I last posted something in the writing section, and I felt it was fitting to come back with a rewrite for one of my oldest fan fictions; Adventure to Skyloft. I'll be changing a lot as I go, and it will take a long time to complete, but I assure...

Throughout the Assassin’s Creed series, you see the First Civilization have a hand in just about every Assassin-based event. From Al Mualim to Desmond Miles, you see their interventions affecting the game. Rarely ever do you see bonds form from their meddling, though. However, there is a single...

This is a self-explanatory thread; do you like the recent actions that Nintendo has done? There are a number of things that I don't particularly like about what Nintendo has been doing lately, and I feel myself almost hoping that Nintendo will fail with the Wii U. I in some ways feel that...

Due to the lack of a thread similar to this, and the knowledge - from experience - that specific concepts will be ignored, a general thread seemed necessary. So what are your thoughts on the game thus far? How far are you? Any things struck you as interesting? I personally had a bit of...

...of writing the story. It took me many hours to complete this - in fact, all day - and I'm quite happy with the result. I hope you enjoy this tale. *** The alley was dark and unwelcoming. A small fire in the trash can near the brick wall that ended the alley offered very little illumination...

Greetings. I've decided to create yet another thread, this time in a Wiki format. With that being said, I will separate each section through Headings and Subheadings to make it easier to find a specific topic for this specific thread. Despite its length, I do hope most Skyrim fans will find this...

This should be relatively obvious, so I'll make this short. I'll be writing a story about the Church of the Bearded Nun - a concept originally conceived by Arkvoodle. I'll need sign ups, however. We all know how awesome sign ups are, so let's get as many people to sign up as we can. The form...

Greetings, Ganondork here. For everyone who has ever spoken to me about my gaming preferences, you will know that Assassin's Creed is one of my favorite series - just behind the Legend of Zelda.

I've been in the Room of Rites for almost a year now, and I want to finish the Oracle games, but I can't figure out how to get to Twinrova. I'm guessing that everyone has the seemingly never-ending rooms with the statues whose eyes seem to move around, and then go to a fixed direction. It's...
