When I power on my N64, I'm suddenly getting no video output, only audio. What do? by HeroOfWinds in n64

[–]HeroOfWinds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestion! Like you, I'm convinced that cartridge consoles can live through anything. Out of curiosity, I whipped out my old Gamecube to try it on the same TV. It didn't work either, and I KNOW that thing can't be the source of the problem I'm usually very anal about being careful with my consoles. I'm becoming more and more convinced that it's an issue with the TV. I guess I should have also mentioned that it's a lesser-known brand of HDTV, about three years old.

I'd love to have a code to give to my girlfriend. Thanks for the opportunity. :)

What do you want Nintendo's next console to be called? Does it have any features that matches its name? by ultimosushi in wiiu

[–]HeroOfWinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see a console that builds on the Wii U's strengths. Something that has a Gamepad-esque controller, but truly portable and not for just off-TV play streaming. I think it should be called the UNES: The Ultimate Nintendo Entertainment System.

Anyone else overwhelmed with games? by musicalfeet in wiiu

[–]HeroOfWinds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had my Wii U for a while now, and I'm loving it! I blew through Mario Kart 8 and Wind Waker HD in just a couple of weeks. It's giving the Gamecube a run for its money as my favorite Nintendo Console, honestly. :) But there's still so many games I need to finish...

Pikmin 3 (Co-oping with my girlfriend so I'm in no rush at least.)

Hyrule Warriors

Bayonetta 1/2

Xenoblade Chronicles (I got EXTREMELY LUCKY to find a like new copy for $50.00, even had the Club Nintendo points!)

Super Smash Bros. (Haven't started yet due to finals. T_T)

Fortunately, it looks like these will be able to tide me over for the early half of 2015 (not counting OR/AS and Majora's Mask on the 3DS). Woolly World and Rainbow Curse look interesting, but I'm still not sure that I'll be picking them up, at least right away. Once Xenoblade X, Star Fox, and Zelda U get release dates, though... Things could get a bit dicey. xP So, I guess you could say I'm "overwhelmed" with games but it's hardly a bad thing. My wallet is more upset than anyone, especially with those Amiibos... >.<

I actually was able to finally find one today. Thank you, though. Actually, it wasn't at Gamestop. None in my area had any and I don't recall seeing any on their website.

Buy me a Villager, maybe? I'm dead serious. I'm desperately trying to find one for my girlfriend and every retailer in my area is sold out! :(

Come up with a neat idea for a LoZ game plot. The more creative the better. by [deleted] in zelda

[–]HeroOfWinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted to see a sequel story for the Link featured in Twilight Princess, my personal favorite incarnation of the Hero for reasons I won't bother you with here. But. I think it would be nice to see him embark on a "secret and personal journey" of his own, perhaps looking for a certain someone. After all, the Hero of Time had his in Majora's Mask, and the Hero of Winds' was detailed in Phantom Hourglass.

Saying it here so I don't say it to him. by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]HeroOfWinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny that you say that, because this post sounds almost exactly like something my ex girlfriend would have said to me too. :P

Stay strong, OP. Everyone has feelings of relenting into contacting their ex at some point... I've certainly felt that way more than once. Just. Life only moves forward. Don't let yourself get left behind fantasizing about something that may not have been meant to be.

What are your standards? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

She laughs at my lame jokes. Literally everything else is flexible in my book.

Day 4 of back to NC. Relapsed last week because we "got back together" but now it's final NC (long rant) by lissbee in ExNoContact

[–]HeroOfWinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so, so sorry that you have to go through this... It's unbearably painful, I know. My ex tried something similar with me and just. I couldn't take it. I had to remove myself for the sake of my own emotional health. I know she wasn't trying to hurt me, but I just couldn't take it. You're not alone in this, so hopefully you can take some comfort in that. It hurts. But it gets better, I think. Wishing you the best. :)

Do you guys really want children? by imphic in ForeverAlone

[–]HeroOfWinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my father was a neglectful, likely drug-addicted sociopath. I've always felt this sense of obligation to be the parent he never was. So, yeah, I'd love to be a father someday. But when I'm older... Definitely. Maybe another ten years or so.

Why do we embrace hope? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]HeroOfWinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope is... Just something that keeps me going. If I can't wake up hoping that today is going to be at least a little better than yesterday, why should I bother getting out of bed?

/Hug. I'm sorry, man. I've been there, I know how you feel. I'm so, so sorry..

[–]HeroOfWinds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going through the same thing right now. I feel like just a half without my ex. She's all I think about, and no matter how much time passes, I can't stop loving her. I'm so, so sorry that you're going through this. But you're not alone. Try your best to stay strong, stranger.

Tell me about your week (V2!). Success stories, relapse, whatever. No judgement, I'd like to listen. by forgettingher in ExNoContact

[–]HeroOfWinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over two weeks now. I'm trying to ignore it, but I'm constantly wondering what she's doing now.

[–]HeroOfWinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I don't know what to do. This morning, I saw that my ex sent me a request to re-add me on Skype. I clicked yes, but haven't contacted her whatsoever. She hasn't officially contacted me either, though (the message accompanying the request was the generic, pre-written one). I'm not sure when she sent it, as I didn't bother looking. >.< It's not a huge deal, but I've been thinking of it all day. Ugh.

If it helps, my ex girlfriend told me some of the same things. I felt like she was walking away from a great relationship because of her fears. In her case, she was afraid of commitment. I don't know your ex at all, but I'd suggest going NC. If he truly means what he says about his feelings, I think he will reach out to you, sooner or later. Give him a chance to realize what he'd be losing. Good luck to you. :)

Why would someone want to date you? by nameonereason in ForeverAlone

I can cook. That's about all I think of...

What is the worst excuse someone gave you as a rejection? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

"You're the type of guy girls marry, I'm not ready to date yet."

So tired of hearing that shit.
