Old-school gamer. I started gaming with the Atari 2600. I became an addict with the arcade release of Street Fighter II at my college. The SNES release pushed me into buying that system and a lame arcade stick. I haven't looked back since then. I still consider the 16-bit to be the Golden Age of gaming. The current generation is keeping me pretty happy, especially with the fighting game renaissance that's happening lately. And, yes, I'm old.

Gamefaqs gets more use reminding me wha' happened then in telling me what I'm supposed to do.
For anyone on the fence about Zelda, I am enjoying it much more than I enjoyed LoZ:TP. LoZ:PH doesn't take itself too seriously, the world has a continuity about it that most handheld games can't match, and the controls are much better than I had expected.
And I am all for the protection of short games. Beyond Good and Evil was awesome for that, and made it feel more like a book reading experience than a "RANDOM ENCOUNTER #1229394944204" experience.
Apologies. Maybe a reboot and a cache-clear will change it.
