Sadly, we did not make our goal of 7,000 posts over the last week. A total of 1,880 posts were made, which is 235 posts per day on average for 8 days (we started on Monday, ended now). While that was not our goal of 1,000 a day, that was over 1/5 of the way there, and considering our board average was 161 for the week prior, this is a great achievement for us! That is a 46% increase in posting! Congratulations to you all.
Over at Zelda Informer, they’ve released the second episode of their podcast. This episode is spent discussing 2D versus 3D zelda games, and has a multitude of people. Among those guests is none other than myself! Other than the awkward introductions, this show is a good forum of discussion and I hope you enjoy it. It’s much less profane than Game Over, but is equally entertaining. Be sure to go give it a listen.
Also, a new Nintendo Wiki has opened up! Be sure to check out WiKirby to learn all you wanted to know about the Kirby series and more!
Be sure to go check out the forums and post in Post Count Impossible, and vote in Quote of the Week. See you there!
Cocky gamers may use the term “blindfolded” as a way to exaggerate their own skills. But very few people that are actually blind can say that they have beat the game. Well, one guy, with the help of a dedicated companion, managed to reach that goal. [read the full story]
Quote of the Week has returned for the month of March with a brand new timeline. Every Sunday, submissions will be open, and on the following Wednesday, the poll will go up for the submitted quotes. From Wednesday through Saturday, the poll will run, and then on Sunday, the winner will be announced and it will start all over again. Be sure to check out this week’s poll, with a whopping eight submissions! You can view the thread here.
As for Post Count Impossible, the total daily post count has certainly gone up! However, we need to make even more posts if we’re going to reach 7,000 by Tuesday. We are not reaching the necessary 1,000 per day, but we are getting closer! Keep posting, everyone. It’s fun when everyone does it.

7,000. That’s how many posts I want to see appear within one week. Sound impossible? Good.
In an interview with Wired.com, Nintendo’s Cammie Dunaway may have confirmed that Zelda Wii will see a release this year, along with Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M. The news is said to leave Wired.com’s Chris Kohler short one steak dinner. [read the full story]

Well, the Fireside Chat I wrote a couple of days ago did, among other things, criticize our affiliate Zelda Informer for their lack of forum integration. The idea of forum integration is that the forums of a site either strongly resembles or is identical to the front page of the site, providing uniformity of visitation, as well as ease of navigation between the two to create the feeling of a truly unified website. Zelda Informer lacked this severely, and now, just two days later, they’ve changed this. They now display a forum layout that strongly resembles their front page, with convenient links all along the top for ease of navigation. Not perfect integration, but hey, it gets the job done and it looks very sleek and well done. Good job guys. You no longer suck. 
To comment on this, as well as see how awesome our forum integration is, be sure to visit the forums. Express your opinion wherever you are and keep up to date with the latest here at LoZ by becoming a fan on Facebook.
Last week, Chance introduced a new Editorial here at LoZ by AlphaBlue-09, called “Is Ain’t and Ought” and today I have for you a new edition! This week, AlphaBlue talks about the hero of the Zelda series, or as he puts it, “fairy boys.” Curious what else he has to say? Go on and check it out!
To discuss the implications of what AlphaBlue has said, be sure to head on over to the Forums and get involved! Keep up with the latest at LoZ by becoming a Fan on Facebook. See you around!
In the last Fireside Chat, I talked about Zelda Dungeon and Zelda Informer in particular. Since then, Zelda Dungeon reached 1,000 Fans on Facebook, and Zelda Informer responded to the Fireside Chat on their site. For the most part, their interpretations of what I said were correct. However, I never intended to suggest that the layout for Zelda Informer is “terrible”. Rather, I was saying that their layout is good, and despite its gambles, far worse layouts have been successful, and the sites that utilized them are still around to tell the tales. By saying that, I was saying that no matter what’s wrong with ZI’s new layout, they are very likely to see success.
To those who have been commenting on the Forums saying how you don’t follow community happenings, to you I say, “Shame!” To help keep up with the other sites, you can see all their newsfeeds here. Be sure to comment on the forums, and become a Fan on Facebook!
