My friends, exhaused after a dance they were being wierd in.

[Weeaboolits]

Large images are large and load slowly.

Don't stretch the tables much though.

[AlexCraig]

Yeah, sorry about that.

I have some videos too, but they will take a while to upload.

[Weeaboolits]

Nice Link suit.

[AlexCraig]

You would be surprised how much respect I got from wearing that! I hear Zelda's Lullaby and the overworld theme every 20 minutes, people come up to me "Good day, master Link!". I like it! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[UnderscoreX]

Like you didn't take that sweet Buddha statue.

[PhotonDrop]

hahaha... Envy http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[AlexCraig]

Dammit! What the hell is up with my PB!? It is no longer loading my videos, and if it does they are crappy quality!

[Toaster_Boy]

PB...? Photon Blast?

You attacking someone?

Photobucket...

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

You could attack Photobucket for acting up, somehow I guess.

[AlexCraig]

Eh. I just want to show some of the vids I took.
One of me when I get there
2 from archery ranges
2 of me dying of thirst
One of me grousing over my broken scabbard

[Toaster_Boy]

The scottish one is awesome, a little glichy but very cool sounding!!

[AlexCraig]

I am trying to load the Scottish Dance, but it does not seem to want to.
What my PB is doing is taking forever to load without giving a %. Then I come back later and it is somewhat uploaded, but is glitchy and has no sound http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif

[360NyTeMaRe]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[AlexCraig]

I wish my vids would upload. You guys would probably laugh at me getting dehydrated.

[AlexCraig]

And me doing poorly at archery as it has been a while.

Good Day http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

* cuts off arm *

[AlexCraig]

By that time, my scabbard broke and I put my sword in Tony's truck. Besides, they were nice to me. I don't like being mean to people.

Oh, how'd you like the Envy pic, Envy?

[BlueDagger]

Sounds like fun. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

The only stopping me from eveer wanting to go is the sun... Curses!

It was very...interesting

[Nitro Vordex]

You're lucky,Alex. You gots all the trees and nice weather. All I got is bushes and nelt-your-face-till-your-brains-show weather.
Did you get a wax hand?

[AlexCraig]

We had excruciatingly hot weather. We did have trees, but I was wandering a lot, so I got quickly dehydrated. I mentioned it in a couple of videos I took.

No, I did not get a wax hand. I am more for other things, like weapons, clothing, books, some jewelery, and trinkets.

EDIT: Finally, the Scottish Dance video uploaded.

[Tact]

So is that heart pendant going to help you avoid dying in any way? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Edit: As Link, you had to be very quiet, too. No real words. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif Did you go with the whole "silent protagonist" deal?

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Tact on 2007-08-13 11:08 ]</font>

[Ma_Navu]

That heart pendant looks like one of those heart containers you get after killing a boss. Maybe it'd be more fitting if you didn't buy it, but rather, killed the merchant and pick it up from his corpse?

Also, dealing with what you said about the Scottish Dance: Should I ever see Link (or anyone dressed up as him, for that matter) doing that, I will promptly toss a cooked grenade at him and shout, "Good day, sir. Will you kindly get the fuck back to killing thine monsters and saving a damsel in distress? Or would you, perhaps, rather me shove the Biggoron's Sword up your sphincter?"

Lucky for you, I didn't see the video. >8U

[AlexCraig]

Hey now, just because the games set a scenario of danger in Hyrule, it does not mean that Hyrule is in trouble 24/7 365. The games, in general, take up maybe a week or so at best should you play right through.

As for killing people, Link would have no reason to. He is a hero, not a villain.

As for trying to kill Link for dancing and having a good time, why? Is that something against your ideals? Or do you just hate Link? In any case, that is really not a good thing to say to one whom is obsessed with TLOZ. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif

[Ma_Navu]

Scottish Dance + Link = WTF?
That is why I say "No Scottish dancing for Link."

Although Link is a hero, in LoZ: Link's Awakening, you could steal from the local shop (although the NPC's will always call you "Thief" and, if you go back to the shop, the merchant will murder you). Just because he's the hero doesn't mean he's exempt from evil deeds. =D

[Almighty_Envy]

I wouldnt be able to hold a sword, i would stab people.

[AlexCraig]

You don't HAVE to steal, that's the thing. It is just some random thing the creators put in because they knew people would try to do things like that. If you play and DON'T steal, then you really don't have an arguement here.

[Ma_Navu]

Here's my argument: you have the choice to do evil deeds. You can steal from the merchant, you can attack the cucko's (or whatever they're called). You CAN be evil, although very few times. All I'm saying is, I would'a cut down the merchant as my only evil deed of the "game." And if I came back to the shop, I'd be arrested and murdered after a few years in prison. =D

[AlexCraig]

Let's drop the Zelda arguing. This thread is about my day at Ren Fair, not good and evil in Zelda.

[Ma_Navu]

So you've given up? Hah, I win! =P

Seriously though, was that sword actually real? Back ten years ago when I went as a kid, they only allowed wooden swords.

[Otis_Kat]

Where art thy going with mine sword?! Have at thee!

[AlexCraig]

I gave up because I don't like arguing, especially about Zelda, a game I actually study inside and out.

But yeah, it is a replica of the Ordon Sword. I have five others here at home. But I felt that one suited my needs.

At the fair, I only bought three pendants, a total of 18 arrows at the archery range, and a drink.

[Ma_Navu]

A total of six swords? Wow. No need for guns for self-protection, eh? =P

I wasn't really arguing, I was just screwing around (I'm bored off'a my ass with no games to play). Just so ya know, I'll rarely ever argue over things that are trivial--and if my statements end with a "xD" or "=P," it'll exclaim that the previous statement was a joke.

"Only" bought? Something tells me that the pendants had to be expensive. I mean, c'mon! Heart Containers for Link are way too valuable to be sold for twenty rupees. =P

[AlexCraig]

Well, I bought the heart pendant, a red circular pendant (pendant of wisdom), and an Aries pendant for my brother. They weren't that expensive, but I only went with about $55. I had to pay my fee to get in, as well as get some food for breakfast and dinner before and after I was there. I am now tapped out http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Only if the assailant doesn't have a gun or for some reason prefers melee combat. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Ma_Navu]

Ah, $55? I'd have thought it'd be more.

Also, here's a thought: back when bows and arrows were still being used, did you ever think that there was someone stingy enough to go to a battle-site and pull used arrows from dead bodies, wash 'em off, and re-use 'em? That'd have been a better strategy, rather than buying those 18 arrows, don'cha think? =P

[AlexCraig]

I have yet to get my first paycheck, when I do, I'll have more money.

There were people who did that. They would see if the arrows were still usable. If not, the arrow would just be cast aside.

I didn't buy the arrows. They were rounds for the archery range.

What would've been a better strategy back in those days would be to not wash them. Then your arrows would be bioweapons that could infect your adversary as well as hurt to high heaven. Of course, you would have to be careful yourself, but in the right hands, they would be more deadly.

[AlexCraig]

I sucked at the archery ranges. It has been a long time since I shot from a bow, and I wasn't that great.

[Meyfei]

the shop on links awakening name your self "thief" there problem solved XD,
arrows, make sure no one was stuck to a sacred tree or something XD.
and alex what kinda of food was there? and another question is, are your other videos uploaded?

[AlexCraig]

They had turkey legs and pizza and all sorts of awesome food, but I didn't eat there... aside from the cinnamon roasted nuts place. They gave me a ton of free samples. I think it was because the guy there liked my Link outfit.

I posted the vide a bit earlier today. check some of the previous posts of mine for today.

[Shergon]

I wish I could go to the Renaissance Fair

[AlexCraig]

Archery kicks ass, if you can do it right.

[Mayu]

pure skill http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
i try'd archery but its sorta hard, when you have short arms >.>, although that was like 5-7 yrs ago XD

[Tact]

I tried archery once. The bowstring grazed my arm. Every time after that, I wore a light jacket.

[Meyfei]

i wanna try archery again but, i dont have the money for arrows and a short bow and dont know any good areas for shooting it T_T, saint john is so boring .

[AlexCraig]

What else did I do there?...

I saw a joust. Of course, the crowd favorite won against the crowd villain.

Some sprites were playing around in a grove there. They started staring at me and cocking their heads at me, so I did the same and made these otherwise silent fairies laugh.

[Meyfei]

where did the fair take place?



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: R-97-3 on 2007-08-13 16:51 ]</font>

[AlexCraig]

The sprites? A clearing down one of the roads. Three women and two men. Two of the women were fooling around around me.

The fair? Bristol, WI

Bowstrings can slice your skin like a cheese grater.

I used to go bow hunting fer dear so i know how to use bows http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Erm...small game i mean, I used to go huntin for dear with gunz

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Almighty_Envy on 2007-08-13 17:04 ]</font>

[Sord]

I used to shoot an arrow pretty well. When I was a kid my dad always took me hunting. As a result I could shoot both a rifle and arrow pretty damn well after awhile. Doubt I have much skill left though, it's been years, and I don't find hunting that amusing.

[Almighty_Envy]

I dont mind hunting but i dont like to get up at 5 in the goddam morning to stand in -20 weather -_-

[VanHalen]

Looked like alot of fun.

My middle school was supposed to go to a Renaissance Fair when I used to go there. Ended up not going http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Mayu]

I trust the stupid arrow more then the bow http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif when firing lol http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

~sniff envy :_: what happen the WTF monster thingie

[AlexCraig]

http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif I saw that and said to myself "I have GOT to post that!"

The bows and arrows they had this year were crappy. Mike's busted bow and my mom's sharp arrows would have done better.

[VanHalen]

Spoiler: I'm better with a bow and arrow then with a gun. True Story.

Wow he took away the WTF monster http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_nono.gif

[AlexCraig]

WTF monster thingie?

[Mayu]

It was like a slug - Lochness monster thing that was like walking around

And on the corner it said WTF ;P

[AlexCraig]

OH! That thing! I liked it!

So, has anyone else been to a Ren Fair and would like to share their experiences?
