Shit, I know how that feels. Except it was twisting my knee at mile three. :?

Actually, I'd say Peggy was smarter than Hank, but naive and innocent.
Really? Eh, yeah, I guess. However, I never really saw Hank do anything dumb. I think his worst outburst must have been telling Mr. Strickland that he loves him.

I don't know if I see Peggy as innocent after some of the things she's said and done, but I do agree about the naive part, and I guess in most cases, I can see her naivety itself as innocent.

On the other hand, she can be twisted at times.

This actually only took me two tries (didn't watch the video either so I'd go in blind, heh). :roll:

7th dungeon now, making some good progress lately.

Woah, I've accumulated over 200 posts since I hit 1000 a few weeks ago. I've really been posting fast. Probably means I'm soon headed for one of those times where I don't log on for weeks.

I just realized that I am actually one of the older regulars here at RB (not in age, in registration date), but that there are a ton of regulars who have almost twice my post count, and have been here for way less time. I guess I just don't have that much to say. :lol: I just have a few really strong opinions that I repeat incessantly. :P

Thought for the day: There are more Gamecubes and Dreamcasts being played online at this moment than Sony consoles.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I think a lot of PS2s/PS3s are still played online through Xlink, etc., but it is a comforting thought, nonetheless. :)

I'm sure there are plenty of PS2's online right now, since they don't use PSN. Definitely more PS2's online than Gamecubes, anyway.

Another update on my quest through Oracle of Seasons...

So after clearing the 8th dungeon in the game and basically being at the end here, I noticed how to actually equip rings. I know the shopkeeper scolded you time and time again, but I thought by having them in your inventory... they were automatically equipped. Nope! You gotta select them!

True story. Ah, good times. :roll:

Least I'll know that when I hit up Ages next.
