A lot of people do. It's stereotyped, and often true, that guys like certain things, but I always broke the mold. *shrug* I like how I am.

Go Cy! Video Games are not just for boys. I know quite a few girls that play Zelda. It does all depend on your fram of mind. Like I can understand how Cy doesn't get into Video Games as much as I, just like she is completely into SW as I am not. We both might like the things, but we have different likes for them.
Yeah, good video games are a rarity in todays market. Even Zeldas aren't as great as a few years ago. The few companies making good games, (IMO) are Nintendo, Retro Studios (Metriod), and Rareware...but they're for X-Box now. =P =P =P =P =P

Oh boy, you set me off, Cy. ;D Here it comes...
First off, lemmie say that it was my 3rd fave game of all time.
1. Ocarina 2. Majora 3. Echoes 4. Prime 1 5. Wind Waker 6. Tales of Symphonia
The list goes on and on. The opening title screen: fantastic. Beautiful. Cinimatic. The best in a video game, followed by Majora's opening. The actual game opening is ok, but not as good as Prime 1's. But it surpasses Prime in many ways; Graphics, Game Play, Story, cinimatics, difficulty, replay value, awesomeness, etc. The bosses are INTENSELY hard. On hard mode, I dide 10 WHOLE TIMES on ONE obscure boss!!! That is probably a record of deaths in any 3D game, for me at least. And I consider myself a GOOD game player.
The areas are fewer than Prime, but with two worlds--light and dark-- the games ends up much larger than the origional. It took me 21 hours to complete the game on normal mode. Very cool. I have not spent this long on a video game in some time. I could go on--the astounding cinemas, the awesome puzzles, the cool items (SCREW ATTACK! YEAH!) but I can't write this any longer--I have more posts to reply to! ;D

Yeah, Metroid keeps count of your in-game hours. Usually I don't keep exact track either.

Time? For video games? I find much of it. I cannot (or more like it's easier) fall asleap unless I've played at least a little bit of a video game. So every night I play. Usually Zelda. Recently, I've been playing Ocarina and Majora. But when I have a new game, I either abandon all other things and make time, or I fit it in all the extra time I have.
With the new Zelda, I'll be doubbling up on school the week before, so I have a whole week for Zelda. I will likely abandon all food and sleep, and will immerse myself in the land of Hyrule once more...then aain, once I beat it, and again, and again, etc. ;D

See you have both home school and parents who let you spend hours and hours on video games, and therefore a mind that lets your be comfortable with playing hours and hours of vidoe games. I could'nt do it. And right now I'm stuck on KOTOR...grr that's a massively good game but I made a little mistake and this one boss is so much harder than if i had done it right.
