I've started playing Ocarina of Time yesterday. I'm really not impressed.
Maybe I'm too old for video games.
Play Majora's Mask.
It's the same game tech-wise, but in a setting that has this delicious flavour about it.
Seriously.
EDIT: Also it's p dark, which I always love about a setting.
The tech is what bugs me the most. The 3D stuff is bad. Half the time I can't see what's in front of me, or I go forward but end up a little diagonal from where I wanted to be.
2D Link to the Past was much easier and more fun to play.
it's a textbook example of why early 3d was a step back graphics-wise
I wouldn't say it's worth the step back playing Ocarina of Time
My experience was filled with discovering that little things we take for granted here in the USA, including fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution, were conspicuously missing in other nations. They were academic before I left, but missing them was a little unnerving... the feeling grew over time to be something I really noticed a lot. After 5 years abroad, I was very happy to come back to the good old USA, warts and all.
Some people never return, but I was definitely glad to be back.
Yeah, I'm very interested to see how it will go for me. Like I said, a part thinks I will never come back. But, a part of me thinks that I'll be terribly homesick and miss my friends too much. We'll see! May I ask where you were during your 5 years abroad?
Republic of Ireland (Connacht region, in a small town north of Galway), with frequent trips throughout western, non-Scandinavian Europe. I spent time working in Germany, England, Northern Ireland, France, Spain, Greece, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
Abdy is right about the little things that build up homesickness - brands of chips, the way people greet each other, they way they approach time and work. The difficulty of getting cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. Social queues you miss or misunderstand... and later adopting them to make it easier to interact, even though they feel a bit faked.
More serious things too.. example: There's no 5th amendment protection against self-incrimination in the RoI. If you refuse to answer a prosecutor's question "did you commit this crime?", the judge instructs the jury to assume you're guilty of the crime. That shook me a bit, even though I was never worried about facing the situation.
It wasn't just friends for me... it was home. The familiar is really nice to return to, after years being the outsider everywhere you go.
And it's not like you can trust women on this matter, you have to measure yourself. Because every girl worth their salt will talk up how great and big and awesome your penis is, at least to your face.
also, having seen enough porn in my life, I knew I wasn't too small
also also, who cares? When you're at the point with a girl that your penis is out, if she's disappointed, she's probably gonna be polite enough to continue anyway, it's gone too far to back down now /Louis CK

Nice! What were you doing all about Europe anyway? Work? If so what kind? Sorry, I'm just a terribly curious person like that.
But yeah, I can see what you are talking about, and how over the years it could seriously start to wear on ya.

not necessarily
I have heard a story from a girl where she started laughing hysterically and couldn't stop when she first saw a dude's penis. Killed the mood right quick.
Granted, that was because he was uncircumcised but swore that he wasn't.

Inquisitor the number of girls you've mentioned who have 'portrayed themselves as single' is getting mightily suspicious.
mostly, because I've never been abroad without my parents around
which has been kinda annoying, most of the time
I mean, like, I love my parents, but when we're for example picking a place to eat lunch, the everything about the way they go about that bothers me
and I keep getting annoyed by it and keeping it all inside and present a smiling face takes a lot of effort
the best time I've had abroad with my parents was in Angers last year because we were visiting my sister
and with her being in france, and me being in the army, and her vacations and my leaves never matching up, meant that I'd gone like, three months without seeing her
which was longer than I'd ever gone without seeing her in my life up until then
so just being with my sister again made the trip great, no matter how irrationally annoyed I was at my parents
I think it depends on the person or region. I for one haven't felt particularly home sick in London, coming from NZ and I should note I really like and appreciate NZ still.
I thunk it might be because I knew from a young age I had to move for uni or work, as farming was not for me.

I've referenced this story in chat before, not every time I talk about a girl is it a separate instance. But yeah, I had had a decent amount of girls misrepresent their relationship status to me. And then there have been times when I have known and not cared.

I worked for a company that sold and installed wireless data extractors + analysis software for the temperature logging boxes on refrigerated delivery trucks and containers.

The other is Carrier, they're more common here in the US.
in defense of being the 'other man': from a purely selfish perspective, its quite nice knowing that someone else is handling all of the bullshit drama stuff. (at least in the short term)

Aw, I hope you're not still that guy
No, this was mostly when I was younger (not that I am not still young) was more heartless and just wanted to stick my dick in warm things. That said, I am still willing to be that guy who says "Hey, you should break up with your boyfriend and be with me instead" to a degree that I'm not sure all of chat would approve.

confession: I would be that guy right now if I got the chance.
there is a girl, with whom there has been UST ever since the party I met her at
she is living in town, her boyfriend (if she still has him) does not
I know that I'm not gonna stop myself if she doesn't

Majora's Mask, maybe.
yeah, but then everybody's dead
Seems like curiosity would have compelled you to by now.
it's a combination of the art style working for it and like blur effects and stuff
it's also the best game
More like Ocarine of Time is too old for you, that game is ancient man.
I started masturbating - if doing it without coming counts as masturbation which I think it does - at like, 9
there is nothing about my erect penis I've been curious about
I know it very well.
I think that's about the same for me, age wise. But one day a girl asked me and I couldn't answer so...I had to do some science!
One tends to measure their erect penis out of curiousity about the erect penis of others, and how theirs compares, generally.

Well, see post about how I've never really been worried much
plus, not only am I really thin, but my bone build doesn't make me very broad either
I do not have child-bearing hips
so, proportions help
This is true and everyone else who disagrees is a crazy person.
But that's because her boyfriend called and was like "Dude you were supposed to be at this restaurant for dinner like half an hour ago!"
Up until this point she had been portraying herself as single.
The bluest of balls.

I just get homesick really fast
a week abroad is enough for me
mostly, because I've never been abroad without my parents around
