One compound word with an infix for emphasis...
Earth-freaking-bound
Earthbound is still hands down my favorite video game of all time, despite how many great titles have come out in the decades since then. It's so delightfully quirky, whimsical, silly, crude, low-brow, yet deep, even philosophical, and extremely dark at times. I actually owned a REAL ENGLISH CARTRIDGE of the game for years until some little shithead in high school stole it from me and moved to... I think Kentucky. Bastard.
Anyway, I'm also a Zelda and Pokemon fan, but less and less about Pokemon in the past few years. I've never bothered to finish black or white version largely because I'm kind of bored with the franchise. It's one thing to replay the same version again and again, but when you're having to re-learn stuff all over again in each new version like the new pokemons' types, attacks, evolutions, and so on, it gets to be really exhausting, especially since *puts on hipster glasses* I liked Pokemon before it was cool in America. Seriously, I was writing short stories with Pokemon in them back in the 6th grade before anyone even knew what the hell a Pikachu was (seriously, there was a time in American history where a 6th grader would ask "what's a Pikachu?").
I play World of Warcraft too, and like Pokemon, I've been with the franchise for a long time - Warcraft 2 to be exact. Lately, I've been finding it less and less enjoyable though for similar reasons to Pokemon; the past two expansions (counting Mists of Pandaria) just keep re-inventing the talent system from scratch in each game, and it's getting on my nerves. I stopped raiding in Wrath of the Lich King because of my schedule mostly, and I really, really, really, REALLY hate the leveling zones in Cataclysm. This has sort of left me to stagnate at least until Mists comes out. Even my alts got screwed with Cataclysm because my leveling routine got all messed up with these ultra-linear, highly phased, low-level leveling zones...
I'm quite passionate about this.
Dear God I need to stop writing otherwise no one is going to read this post.
