I love RCT3, and I love using custom content to create awesome rides (here's a few examples). Oh, and peep bowling. Most hilarious thing ever

I still prefer the second one, though, for nostalgia value and because I'm working on this amazing park!

Sims 3 is better than Sims 2 at what I like best: building houses. Apart from that Sims 2 is better. But I don't do the other stuff.

As I said, I never played RCT2. I don't intend to either. xP

Those RCT3 designs are amazing, btw. I didn't know such stuff could be done in the game. I have to say that that Alice in Wonderland ride seems like it would be better as one of those slow tracked rides than a coaster though.

I started building a park awhile back that had a Pittsburgh Steelers theme. :P

The only thing I thought Sims 3 did better than Sims 2 is the amount of customization.

@Stellar Haze; Same thing for me, I get things in exchange for me getting good grades, which aren't really a problem for me. Behavior factors in too though for me
@Llama_Guy; Are you in high school or no?

[Flaze]

Since I'm not in high school anymore behaviour isn't counted xD sadly grades are too hard to have in college, good ones at least.

i think grades are stupid. they don't define how smart you are, and i don't understand why people are held back because of them. a reason for bad grades on a report card is more or less the teacher's fault, either that or the child doesn't want to admit that they are smart because apparently being smart in school is considered "not cool". :P

eh, whatever. opinions, opinions :U.

[adiosToreador]

Well, some of us are talking about games, I know that. xP

EDIT: Scratch what I said about RCT 3D's release date, it's actually coming out on May 22nd! CAN'T WAIT.

Heh, maybe I'll get it for myself for my birthday.

I will be so happy if Majora's Mask gets a 3DS release to follow Ocarina of Time.

Majora's Mask is available on the Wii's virtual console, so I don't think it'll be getting a 3DS release.

That's not really fair to say. Yes, there are bad teachers, but in my experience, bad grades are nearly always the fault of the student. They're not really the best way of measuring intelligence, but they're an efficient system for an institution that has to keep track of millions upon millions of students and make sure they're all relatively on the same level. If you don't understand the material (as evidenced by getting a bad grade), then it doesn't really make sense to promote the students to learning more difficult material.

So? OoT is also on the Virtual Console, yet it got remade for the 3DS. Plus, there has been confirmation that Ninty is going to make MM 3D if enough fans want it. Ever heard of Operation Moonfall? Its main purpose is exactly that: to tell Ninty that tons of fans want it.

[Flaze]

I say that there are different kinds of definition for the word smart. There's school smart, which is someone that does well on grades or a specific subject, then there's people that don't excel at school but excel at something else. Then there's social or "street"smarts which relate to people, basically someone that knows his way around people and how to talk to them easily and without a care, which is how manipulative people can come into play.

[adiosToreador]

I never heard about OoT being on the virtual console. If it is, well, my mistake. And no, I haven't heard of Operation Moonfall, nor have I ever heard of Nintendo saying that they would release Majora's Mask on the 3DS if the fans wanted it enough.

Seriously? Of course OoT is there! Why would they release MM on the Virtual Console and not OoT? That would just be stupid. xP

And Nintendo said it, yup. Just go checkout Operation Moonfall. I think it's hosted by some staff from Zelda Universe.net. I do know that they have information on it at their group on Deviantart.

As for what Operation Moonfall itself is, it's a petition to get Nintendo to make MM 3D. I'm not sure if I signed it, but I probably did, because while I'm not a big fan of the game, I would most certainly love to play through Ikana Canyon in 3D. It's the only part of the game that I enjoyed.

[adiosToreador]

I was under the impression that, because they were going to release OoT3D, there was no need to put it on the virtual console. But eh, guess I was wrong.

I admit, I never played either game as a kid. I didn't have a console until the PS2 was nearly obsolete (I had a game boy and a game boy color). OoT 3D is actually my first time playing the game.

[LightningTopaz]

Pokemonized folktale fans, Brock has a scary one for you tonight!

In other words, "Live from the Fireside" has a new episode

Dude, OoT was on the Virtual Console LONG before the 3DS even came out. xP

They don't define how smart you are, but they do define how well you're able to work with the course material, which either indicates how hard-working you are, or how intelligent you are. I'm the type that gets good grades because I'm intelligent. Most of my class get good grades because they're hard workers.
@Kelleo; you're missing out on something.
@Red; Yeah, or the Norwegian equivalent anyway. I'm done in June, though.

[Kelleo]

@Kelleo; you're missing out on something.

Eh, I don't think so.

[ectoBiologist]

it's all a matter of opinion really. :U

agh, another day of school.

i'm really hoping i don't have exams today because there's a book fair going on in the media center and i want some books :c.
