Sturgeon's One-Point Lessons
These are notes tacked on Sturgeon's wall in Wind Waker. He lives upstairs of Orca, who gives you the Hero's Sword. Commit them to memory. Not only will they help with the game, but they also work as a guide to life itself. User:Portal-Kombat/Sturgeon's One-Point Lessons

MOTHER 3
Without a doubt, one of the most well-made stories there has ever been in any game, movie, or book for that matter. From what I've seen, it is virtually impossible to sum up the basic plot of the game in a single coherent sentence. So, I'll just say that it says a lot about human history and the present day- the pros and cons of Communism and Capitalism, the nature of evil, love, life and death, and immortality. Despite the fact that this game was never released in America, or whether you hate or love turn-based RPGs (or even games of any sort) you owe it to yourself to play this game. Along with the story, which to me is its strongest aspect, it has one of the most memorable soundtracks of any game I've played, excellent characters (even those that have no impact on the story), entertaining battles, enemies and items, nearly limitless easter eggs hidden throughout and a good sense of humor. Despite a heavy storyline, the game never takes itself too seriously, with some downright bizarre and hilarious moments mixed in. There is an english translation patch out there, so go and find it. With the power of the internets, it's a very easy process even if you have no experience with this sort of thing whatsoever. I had to put this summary out here so anyone else who happened to read this could also get the chance to play this game, because I can honestly say that the philosophy of Mother 3 is worthwhile and could even change the way you look at everyday life.

Reviews: Top 128
This was once a list of "top things" but after a few days of deliberation I've decided that I'll sometimes write down reviews of various games I've played. Check from time to time for info on the well-known to the downright obscure! Listed alphabetically for convenience. User:Portal-Kombat/Top 128

Here, I rank different aspects of videogames (dungeons, enemies, items, music, etc.) in different categories, such as: best, worst, innovative, annoying, scary, difficult, you know the rest. Most likely it will focus on the Zelda series the most often, but I'll throw in other games, sometimes obscure ones, just to mix it up a little. User:Portal-Kombat/VG Listings

Wind Waker Redux
Wind Waker is my all-time favorite game. But part of what makes it amazing is that it has the potential to be even better. So, I'm going to work on something I appropriately titled "Wind Waker Redux" which, by the very end, could even be a complete walkthrough of my altered version of the game. I was thinking of starting it for a while, and I've decided to start sooner now that Ccbermanzzpedia has started a Twilight Princess redux. User:Portal-Kombat/Wind Waker Redux

Currently Playing

 * Chrono Trigger DS- Gathering Zeal treasure troves in search of some good equipment before attempting the Mudbeast Den and Mountain of Woe.
 * The Legend of Zelda (Second Quest)- I'm searching for Level 3, and thanks to this site I now know that I missed the Whistle due to a false wall.
 * Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness- Still stuck on Primal Dialga. I refuse to turn back and get more Reviver Seeds. I want to tough this boss out, even if it means playing until I'm an obscenely high level. Already, I'm Level 45, and as I gradually attempt it more and more than number will go up. One day, he will fall.
 * Kingdom Hearts Proud Mode- I swept the Hades Cup with only a couple of minor setbacks and defeated the Ice Titan. Now, I'm working on taking all the optional bosses out one by one. The next on the list is Kurt Zisa. Due to the drastically low physical damage I can inflict on him at this point, I'm thinking that I may need to create myself an Ultima Weapon just to stand a chance. Phantom or Sephiroth will be next. I don't know which one, they are just so incredibly difficult. Although I had planned on saving End of the World for last, I may have to go in there and kill Chernabog to get Superglide, which is very useful against Sephiroth. I'm Level 56.

Also, without even looking for them or grinding, I got a Wizard's Relic and a Defender from the enemies that carry them at Hollow Bastion. They're useful and awesome items, and they're very, very rare. So in comparison, getting the Ultima Weapon ingredients should be a cakewalk.
