@RR529: Often have little sentimental moments about my old toys. Threw a fair amount of them away or gave them to charity shops, but I've got a fair few left scattered around. I used to be huge on Lego and Bionicle. Had tonnes of 'cuddlies', too. Oh, the old days were so much simpler.

Went to a nearby Renaissance Festival today!

Caught a couple performances (a Robin Hood comedy bit & a magic show), took a crack at one of the archery ranges (all the targets were Pokémon, lol), walked around some of the shops (some of the handcrafted items had Zelda's Triforce engraved on them, and one was even selling Ocarinas), and ate some tasty though unhealthy fair food, lol.

Also, I loved casually noticing everyone wearing video game related clothes, because I don't often go to big events like this where people go out of their way to wear stuff like that on a large scale. Just casually looking around I noticed 1 Adult in a Triforce hoodie, 4 Adults & 1 Kid in a Triforce shirt (one even had Link's cap), 1 Adult & 1 Kid in a Toon Link shirt, 1 Adult in a Pikachu hoodie, 1 Adult in a Pikachu shirt, 1 Kid in a Pokémon hoodie, 2 Kids in Mario shirts, 2 Adults in NES controller shirts, 1 Adult in full on Ezio (Assassin's Creed) cosplay, 1 Adult in an Assassin's Creed shirt, 1 Adult in a Fallout shirt, 1 Adult with a Kingdom Hearts II ball cap, and at least 5 Kids in Minecraft shirts (oh, and myself with my NES controller ball cap, lol).

@Tasuki

I was trying to generate discussion about the game, not promote myself as you prefer to call it. I believe promoting myself would be posting a direct link to my blog and saying "COME CHECK THIS OUT! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!" Not posting a review that was meant to easily share my thoughts as it was already written and easy to share and begin a topic with. I'm new to this site, so can you just clarify a possible correct way to do this.

@Ultimategamer132 Discussion of a game is fine or creating a thread to discuss a game is ok however posting a review is not which you did. By doing that it is considered spamming and we ask not to. You have a link in your signature, which is fine to your site, If people wish they can go there and read it.

The problem is I can't have double standards it would be like someone posting a video from their personal Youtube channel discussing the game in the forums which again is considered personal advertising which is against the community rules. I unfortunately can't close theirs down and then very well leave yours open as it looks like I have double standards.

I hope you understand.

@Tasuki

I do, thank you for the exlplantion! 😃

@Ultimategamer132 Np, I will say from what I read it was a great review. I will also say at times its not easy being a mod and this is one of those times. Feel free to have a discussion thread for the game maybe post a few sentences and your thoughts and ask people what they think Maybe like how excited you are for this game, etc. Just don't make it a review post if that makes sense.

Today is my birthday

@andrew20 hope you had a good un!
