Ah, Zelda.

I swear to this day if someone were to walk up to me and say "video game" and ask me to describe the image I get, its from the Legend of Zelda. This game was probably the only one I've ever played that completely surpased all of the hype I had for it when it was released. - Which is odd because the ads were absurd. I really think of it as the "Citizen Kane" of video games, it was complete in almost every way, there is simply nothing to complain about it.

Even now when it should be horribly dated, and when I can remember every single secret I can turn it on and have a blast playing it.

255 coins - Geek Moment

How ungeeky am I that after all these years it finally occured to me that 255 coins is an 8-bit unsigned int? It always seemed like a wierd number to me growing up, but now that I'm a geek, I see the truth :)
