Stage Select:

1. Aerith's theme that plays during a certain scene at the end of FFVII disc one.

2. Forever Rachel (FFVI): Though it refers to Locke's lost love, Rachel, the time I remember it best was on the deserted island scene when Celes finds the raft and Locke's bandanna after having attempted suicide.

3. The rendition of Saria's Song that plays in the Lost Woods in Twilight Princess has a sad air to it. I listen to that song on my iPhone over my car radio.

I thought from the title of this that the best use of toilets in video games was going to be discussed here, LOL.

Dunno. I have a lot of family in the East Valley, real estate is cheaper from Glendale on west. Also thinking of looking in Pinal County.

Sorry, should have specified. Valley of the Sun, which, as Snee said above, is a catch-all name for Phoenix and its surrounding suburbs, total population 4.3 million. I'm looking to become a first time homeowner, and I would like to do it here.

Fox, get this guy off of me!

Mostly RPGs. Playing Persona 5 and Trails of Cold Steel, looking into Valkyria Revolution. I got a real Vita (I had a Vita TV) courtesy of another 1UP alumnus, so I've been messing with that.

Working, and looking to buy a house here in the Valley.

I never was a big fan of Rare, even in the N64 days. I enjoyed some of their games, but I would honestly rather have had Square on the N64 instead. :(

Once I get things settled down, I'll get a Switch. Aside from my love of Nintendo, I like the dual portability/TV thing. On a more muted scale, I enjoyed the option of playing at home or on the go with the Vita and the ultra-cheap Vita TV, so I'm down with the Switch. Probably mostly use it at home on the TV.

The Xbonx? One more X and we'll have the XXXbox. Maybe Brazzers will sign on as a developer, LOL.

Nintendo generally looks the most interesting to me anyway, but they knocked it out of the park with the Switch this year. As for Sony, I'm generally not into their presentations per se, but they always have a great stable of third party games that keeps me interested in my PS4. Pity the Vita wasn't a bigger success. My most wanted non-Nintendo titles at the moment are Ni no Kuni 2 and the Yakuza titles.

I liked Nintendo the best at E3 this year, but Sony was also good. Then there's what I call the "Xbonx".

Bubsy? That was random. They're remaking the weirdest games these days, like Bubsy and Night Trap. Where's Lester the Unlikely Remastered? Or Plumbers Don't Wear Ties: The Director's Cut?

Another example of a 1980s sequel where they tried radical gameplay changes rather than simply reiterate the original, with mixed results. See also: Zelda II, Final Fantasy II, Ultima II, Castlevania II. None of these are bad games, they're just different, and the designers kept what worked and discarded what didn't work so well.

I will say, however, that this game was far more interesting, memorable, and fun than the "real" SMB2 (Lost Levels). That game honestly wouldn't have been as successful in the USA, and I think Nintendo knew it.

I have 666 in my PSN tag. I don't think it's big and scary, it was just available for a gamer tag that I had to have a number because 20 other idiots had registered it before me. That was 10 years ago, PSN doesn't let you change gamer tags, I have a butt ton of trophies, so there it will stay. :)

I remember readying about a guy who was banned from Xbox Live for the gamer tag "Pound Her Stank." He promised to choose a more appropriate tag if he were given another chance. Xbox Live's response was that they had given him 29 previous chances to turn a new leaf and choose a new gamer tag. :)
