I just finished organising my thoughts on the top ten video games I played this year (not all of them released this year: I played a lot of older games that were in my backlog)

I’m on the new Twitter-like apps (will see which ones take off)! I did make a Threads account if you want to follow it.

With the news of E3’s cancellation this week, I wanted to write about some of the good times we had attending it for a fan community like @ZeldaUniverse over the years!

Just posted my review of Live A Live for @ZeldaUniverse. Was a fun game!

I'll be contributing to the ZU charity marathon by streaming a game again this year 😎. Looking forward to it.
Mark your calendars 📆 Our charity marathon, ZUthon: Zelda for Eternity, is in less than two weeks!
We've got a lot on the schedule this year, and some wonderful guests who will be joining us as players and commentators.

Finished Banjo-Kazooie on the Switch N64 service! As good as I remember; camera stuff can be frustrating at times but otherwise the game holds up. Didn't notice any problems with the emulation.
Just finished the Switch port of Ocarina of Time. Still a great game (though I miss the gyro aiming on 3DS)
Whatever emulator Nintendo is using has gotten rid of a bunch of fog, but it seems to work otherwise. Not the best port, but not the worst (the worst port is on the Wii U)
“In comparison to a game like Breath of the Wild, which revels in its downtime and celebrates it as a core part of its appeal, Skyward Sword is a game in which you are always scheduled for dungeon duty.”
My review of Skyward Sword HD for @ZeldaUniverse

This phrase is up there with "I'm two days away from retirement - time for one final mission!" on the list of bad news flags #SkywardSwordHD
The Daft Punk news is probably the first band breakup that’s felt personal to me. Hope they can continue providing great music as individual producers in the future.

I joined the forums here 17 years ago now, so it’s been around for most of my life at this point! Then I started helping out on staff 13 years ago.
It’s a testament to the quality of the community that this volunteer fan project has lasted this long.
Zelda Universe was founded on February 20, 2001. That’s 20 years ago today!

This week in Crusader Kings 3 I learned to be more careful declaring war.
So, I saw this little green blob and thought I’d go ahead and take it. Only problem is, if I zoom out, it turns out that small green blob is actually a superpower that controls the entire Middle East.
Discovered an island with only sharks, and now I have 20 Great White Sharks in my backpack. #AnimalCrossing
I wrote a review for the new Fire Emblem DLC story pack: zeldauniverse.net/features/r…
I know people don’t like the Star Wars prequels but I’ll say this - they always made the Star Wars universe feel huge to me.
The sequels are better written, but it does feel like there are only about 15 people in the galaxy (who all live within a half-hour drive of each other).
