I think it's some Youtuber finding a US prototype of the N64 Disc Drive that sparked it, but suddenly I see a lot of people talking about Ura Zelda and their hopes of tracking down a blue disc that has the data as well as searching through retail copies of OOT to find any leftover content from it. It was probably a hoax, but someone had claimed to have found an employee that was going to sell a complete copy of Ura Zelda until they got too mouthy about it on the internet and Nintendo shut it down.
It's actually pretty interesting reading about all this even though it's all wasted effort. We'll never know 100% just what exactly Ura Zelda was.
Started playing through the original Borderlands with a buddy of mine who just built his first PC. I sorta hated it last time I played a while back because it has a lot of lazy design, warped skill trees, repetitive enemies, repetitive and unfunny dialogue, and a wonky loot system, but I will say that it's a lot more fun playing it Co-op.
Also, if someone could release a mod that just removes all of the dialogue in every borderlands game with smooth jazz, I would give them my car.

Don't worry, the writing only improves by the 2nd game.
Oh...no wait, it gets worse.
Huh... I thought we had a thread about video game rants, but either we don't or I'm blind.
Anyway...
I really, really liked Sho Minazuki in the P4 Ultimax game. It seems that my point of view isn't shared so there's not a lot of merchandise or even fan art for him. While looking for stuff I found a really stupid rant about him: Someone claimed no one would like Sho if he were a girl. That a if a female character acted like him she'd be hated right away.
Erm... Normally gender doesn't influence how much I like a character too much, but it would have actually been awesome if Sho was a girl. Just for the fact it would be pretty ironic for Adachi to find himself being bossed around and having the shit beat out of him by a woman. He's got some very traditional thinking of how a woman should act (he makes a comment upon beating Chie that she should act more girly) so it would just add another layer to his frustration of being at the mercy of a teenager.
Got my first prestige in Overwatch.

Enjoy ever more unbalanced games and losses.
My past 50 levels after 100 have just been awful since you're getting the megatryhards who know what they're doing, and are usually in groups of 3, and thus you'll get people in groups of 3 on your team, but due to Blizzard's matchmaking. A group of 5 is equivalent to a 2 man group and a 3 man group on your team.
Hell, I've seen people who have been rank 300+ in a 4 man on the other team while I'm stuck with two 2 mans and everyone is under level 200. Guess who lost?
That reminds me, I've still got to finish my placement matches. I knocked them all out in 2 days first season but have just felt really tired and busy lately.
I'm revisiting Final Fantasy 9. Its a lot easier than I remember it being.
So I bought a New 3DS(regular) because I hate being responsible with money. So far, the system seems fine but I'm afraid I may have gotten a faulty one. The circle pad seems to have a mind of it's own and the only way I can move is by using the R2,L2 and C-Stick in the menu screen. It hasn't completely overwhelmed the system and it only occasionaly glitches out.
Besides that, I got Metal Gear Solid 3D to make proper use of the C-Stick and this is my first time ever playing Metal Gear. I'm getting the hang of the stealth aspect and faring better than I thought I would.

Whoa, there. Don't play MGS3 first if you're intending to play the whole series. It'll just ruin everything for ya.
Play MGS1 or hell, even 2 before 3.
Ahhhhh my Arwing is in my state, but I won't be getting it until tomorrow!
I usually have Thursdays off, but I gotta work >< I'll be they'll try and deliver it when I'm not home.

As much as I like to play the whole series, I don't have the time or a PS3/PS4/Xbox. I'm just portable for now and MGS3 can fill the time I have. I'll get around to it eventually but not in the foreseeable future.
Also, The Snake Eater song is pretty lit.
