SOPA? How about SOPA-THETIC.
I really fucking love potatoes.
Honestly, look at these versatile mother fuckers.
They can be
Hot
Cold
Healthy
Unhealthy
Simple
Fancy
Eaten on the go
Ugh. Potato appreciation post.

Anyone else notice that Tentalus from Skyward Sword looks kinda exactly like a cross between Boo's costume from Monster's Inc. and Mike Wazowski?
OMG yes!
Just beat Skyward Sword
Well, I finally beat Skyward Sword (Yeah, I know, I started late lol) and I can say that, for many reasons, I didn’t enjoy nearly as much as I did Twilight Princess.
- Glitchy controls- I don’t know if this happened to everyone but VERY frequently I would have problems with the nunchuck all of a sudden going in one direction without me even touching the control stick (I had to reconnect it repeatedly). I even switched it w/ a friend’s and the problem persisted. Also, the wii motion plus remote worked perfectly with the wii menu but once I started playing the game, the arrow would act glitchy and sometimes point to places I didn’t point (using the bow and arrow was a pain). I hardly ever had problems with the controls in TP.
- The bosses were easier for me- I remember the bosses being way harder in TP and sometimes taking several tries to beat. Most of the bosses in SS didn’t require a lot of intuitive thinking to figure out how to beat them and the final SS boss only took me one try to beat
- The dungeons were easier to go through- TP’s dungeons required A LOT more intuitive thinking for me to analyze my surroundings and use the items I had to figure a way out, which I loved.
- Twilight Princess was the 1st legitimate Zelda game I played (if you don’t count the Super Smash Bros. series) therefore I wasn’t used to the general layout of Zelda games, which is partly why I remember it as being much harder. When playing SS, I felt like I was mostly just going through the motions.
- Fi and other people were basically holding my hand through every obstacle- I don’t like how SS included so many easy hints and tips. I love tackling a good challenge without help!
- I kinda missed the more somber atmosphere and plot line of TP. Although SS’s cool plot line at times blew my mind, I could see some holes in the story.
Although I have these complaints (and more) about Skyward Sword, I did have fun! Twilight Princess set the bar very high for future Wii (and beyond) Zelda games. In my opinion, Skyward Sword just didn’t set it higher.
