RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

You can get the Wii and a whole crapload of games. Or the PS3 and no games.

I already know that the PS3 costs $600 or higher (If I get it, it had better be damn worth it), but how much does the Wii cost?

$250? That beats the PS3. Hopefully, the graphics are better too.

Wii graphics are better than Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox, but not the new systems.

In this one, it seems that Link grows up. Different screenshots have shown him at different ages.

BigWolf Wrote:Zelda = <3

I want to play this game...badly.

I've been playin' every game of Zelda since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64. I looove that series. This brings back old memories.

This game looks good, looks like it's a sequel to Ocarina of Time actually. I see Link is now grown up, and turned into a wolf even. o:

I'm excited about this, it looks like an instant classic.

same thoughts. the teraine looks alot alike. i play zelda like a religion. me and my friend are camping outside EB to get ours when the store opens

For me that's hard because EB is inside the mall, as is TRU, except TRU is a lot closer to doors. Plus EB is always sold out. I always buy my games at TRU because they always have them.

Another Classic

According to recent reviews, Twilight Princess is a new classic. Look at these ratings:

GameSpy: 5/5
1UP: 10/10
Gamerz-Edge: 10/10
UGO: A
GameBrink: 99/100

This is from lawrence.com:
Quote:Good: Brilliant dungeons, great new weapons, beautiful art style, best story in the series, variety of enemies, soundtrack, sound effects, epic boss fights

Bad: Visually, you can tell it was made for the Gamecube

Definitely: One of the greatest gaming experiences of all time

Goddamnit.

I've phoned every store that carries the Wii in my area but none have it in stock.

Toys'R'Us Belleville
Toys'R'Us Kingston
Futureshop Belleville
Futureshop Kingston
Best Buy Kingston
EB Games - Belleville
EB Games - Trenton
EB Games - Kingston
Microplay Belleville
Walmart Belleville
Walmart Kingston
The Source Belleville

Most either didn't know when they were getting more or knew they wouldn't get any before Christmas. Only two said they were pretty sure that they would get some before Christmas.

If Twilight princess is that good, I have to try it.
