Givens, got to love your avatar <3

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a fantastic day, as well as an awesome 25th year!

Happy birthday man. Have a good one!

Is that so? I've never heard that! I'll have to look into it, thanks! Well, if sailing around an open world environment with no loading screens is their way of padding, then I'm just fine with that! Haha!

Absolutely! I feel the same way about Twilight Princess; it was great but something felt off. I would agree that it seemed like catering to the fans who wanted a 'mature' Zelda. Funny enough, the things I love most about Zelda are the more childlike aspects and the sense of exploration. Wind Waker's main quest may have been short, but there were countless hours of exploring. I just hate how underrated that game is because of the way it looks! Ugh! Hopefully Skyward Sword will balance both sorts of Zelda just right. They already have the graphics down.

Oh, thank you! I grabbed the art from the Nintendo E3 site: http://e3.nintendo.com/zelda/
Feels weird to have a Zelda icon on a Resident Evil forum, but I could't resist.. I'm in love with the look of Skyward Sword, especially the color palette. In a generation of gritty photorealistic games limited to the spectrum of brown, it's a delight. (Wind Waker is my all time favorite game, so to see it's graphical style applied to the more advanced models of Twilight Princess is a dream come true.)

Actually for some reason, the first 'Gibbs' that came to mind was the guy from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies -and I thought, "That can't be right.." :I..

Ha! I've only seen half an episode of NCIS, and strangely, I somehow knew who you were referring too..

Oh, I'm sure this event was meant for multiple reasons. Each and every one who went through it, had their purpose for doing so. Don't feel solely responsible for it or anything! Ha-ha!

I don't believe in coincidences. ;)

EDIT: Sorry, posted the reply on my page instead of yours.. >>..

Talk about a real clusterfuck, eh? That's the problem with some people. They're insatiable. Seems like you did everything you could of possibly done. A major catastrophe like that can really stir up emotions in people. Maybe they couldn't cope with it all and were taking out their anger on you?

People often ask me why God lets things like this happen, and I always say there is a reason for everything, even if it's unclear at first. These disasters certainly have a way of testing the mettle of people. Sounds like you were being as tough as you could of during a time of despair. As well as on the other hand, having personal problems to deal with no less. I think your strength was definitely tested, emotionally and physically; and I bet you are a stronger individual for it!
