Quote:Hints? Where? I don't remember any hints for that puzzle!
I forgot exactly, but I remember it being very obvious.
Quote:Huh? I know that you sail in a direction, then cast the spell to change wind direction and then sail in that one, then do the warp if you're going somewhere near a teleporter, etc... it takes time.A few minutes!
Quote:Oh I was just playing. There are a bunch of mini-dungeons and those take time. Maybe you could get through three of them in half an hour but no matter how you try to spin it this thing takes hours. It's not the hardest thing ever but it is impossible to deny that it takes hours. Okay it could be done faster than I am doing it but I can easily see that there is a minimum time you could do this in, and your "half hour" is so absurdly far under that that it's ridiculous.
It's an absolute FACT that I finished it in a little over half an hour. Here, I'll record myself doing it all over again and if you give me money for shipping and a blank tape I'll send it to you. Seriously, I'll do it!
Quote:The color of those gems matters?
Different colors give different things. But I suppose knowing that would be exploitative, right??
Quote:And FAQs are not cheating. Help isn't cheating. Cheating is getting past something without actually doing that... okay what you are talking about there isn't cheating. It's exploiting. And I wouldn't do that either.
When you exploit the game like you clearly did I'm sure it wasn't.
Exploiting?? What an idiot thing to say! It's bad that I found an easy way to make money in WW? I guess it's bad that I made tons of cash in Shenmue II by gambling and didn't have to work for hours like other people did, right? It's a game, you're supposed to find different ways to do things. Finding a bug is a different matter. This is not a bug.
I guess it's also really bad to get lots of bottles in OoT and fill them up with fairies in a fairy fountain, right?

Quote:Sorry but I am sure that it is impossible to do everything involved in getting the pieces in half an hour even if you knew exactly what to do (from setting out to get the first map until you have all eight shards with you -- all of that time, not just part of it!) and had enough money to buy all the shards at once. Completely impossible. And for your first try when you say that 'puzzles take you a while'? It's ludicrous to say that!
You = sucking does not = me sucking. A guy just beat Super Mario Bros. in five minutes. I guess you'd call that impossible too, right? Your poor gaming skills make you believe that everyone is that bad and you cannot even fathom something better than you. I find that very, very pathetic.
