Re: New/Improved Longest Thread - CaffeinePowered - 09-18-2013

Since I downloaded all the ambassador games that my 3DS comes with I've made it a point that I want to finish Zelda II

Earlier this week I hit a hard block on the 3rd temple, but left, ground out a few levels, and figured out how to kill darknuts even if their shield is up. Proceeded to wallop the boss and now I'm well on my way to the 4th temple.

Now that Ive gotten past this part of the game, I'm beginning to think that it actually is a pretty good game...about the only thing it really needs is to have enemies drop health, since they only infrequently drop magic. Or make the heal spell a lot cheaper. If they had done either of those things the game would have been a lot more pallet-able to 7 yr old me.

I ground the sword up to 8, then ground until it was XXXX / 9000 XP for an extra life, then beat the third temple. When you beat a temple it fills your XP gauge, doing that trick I maxed out life and magic on 3 and 4....and when you go have the 8th level sword shit is so much easier. Apart from a few of the blue-colored enemies and bosses you just annihilate everything

[/quote]That's something I miss from old-ish games.  In fire emblem sacred stones whenever you beat a boss it was an automatic level for the one who landed the final blow.  And there was a challenge tower with a boss on the lowest (easiest) level.  It was too easy to grind your high-levelers to 20 when you can just leave after you finish the first level and go again.

[/quote]bosses never gave one level's worth of exp, they give ~80 or so depending on the level, the higher level your characters are the less exp they earn from battles with normal enemies, and after you promote them they earn very little exp until the later half of the game where you're fighting mostly promoted units

The Honey Launderers: Uncovering the Largest Fraud in U.S. History

I've been lucky enough to have local beekeepers to buy honey from. If you have farmers' markets, buy your honey there. Even the health food store honey could be relabeled Chinese honey of dubious quality.

Buzzed my head today. Feels good; much better than doing comb-over every day.

Still didn't get laid but whatever.
