That's fair. So did I. It wasn't until embarrassingly few years ago I actually found out it was done with computers. I always imagined there was a space station of some sort attached to it that people could look through it.
And you know, I'm not sure. I don't actually have Ultimate; I played the original on the Wii, so I'm not sure if anything changed or got upgraded. As far as that goes, my first playthrough I unlocked Long swords (the Katana looking things. I don't know if I have the name right) and never really looked back. They were fast enough for me to dance with the monsters, and I kinda loved it.
Later, when I started a new character for some reason, I actually fell in love with Great Swords, and then Switch-Axes. Though I didn't like the Switch-Ax unlock tree, since it was pretty limited and required you to go hunt three or four of the giant critters. O_o
I never got the hang of lances, but I wasn't terrible with a bow gun.
So, I'ma pick Great Swords, since, if nothing else, they look like Cloud's sword. XD
Dang though; I gotta go play those games again. They're one of my favorites.

Here you go. One iron cross, and a smattering of my other stuff. ^_^
Sorry for the bad photo. It's past midnight here, and I had to take it at my desk. It's about 8 inches high, for size estimate. The other two photos I took a few months ago and forgot I had them.
Those are very cool!!
Love the S hooks and the snails, they're just too cute.
The cross is awesome too, well made

Ultimate is pretty great. The cool thing is that you don't have to unlock the weapons so you can start out with a Long Sword, Switch Axe, or any of the other weapons. I started with a Great Sword and because I found it too slow (and didn't know how to use it well), I started focusing on Long Swords and Dual Blades. I've started using Great Swords again after I found a video tutorial about how to use them. I know they added 2 more weapons in the new game and they're both great, although somewhat complicated.

Thank you! Very much. ^_^ I'm hoping to sell a fair amount of them at an upcoming craft fair. Need to make more, though.

Hmm...I had to wait until a certain Hunter rank, then the traveling merchant captain sold the designs for the long sword. Switch ax too, I think. -_- I feel robbed. I'd actually like to get MH3U, but since I own Tri, I kind of feel it'd be redundant? I think it's different enough, and I love the game enough, that I'd like it anyway. I'm plotting to get 4, though. It's on mah list.
That was kind of adorable. XD

Hoping to get 4 at some point, but I really want to finish 3 first. I don't like moving on the the next installment in a series before playing through as many previous installments as possible.
Hairy tomatoes?

I finished the main quest for Tri, and toyed around with the 6 star quests. I didn't finish them, though. I guess for me, I hang on to the end of the "story", and then quit playing when I quit having fun. That said, in the PSP iterations, there was almost a whole other game after completing the "main" story quest, so I kept going in those. I actually ended up preferring them to Tri, which is why I want to give the Ultimate series a shot.
I'm afraid to Google that one. Assuming the hair is actually coming from the tomato, and not the person who prepared the tomato, I'd probably eat it.

Heh, my friend had a hairy slice of tomato on a pizza once. No one ate it.
Chewy pretzels?

It's weird, but I just looked that up, and I don't know that it's equatable to the Wii version. It looks like you're handling a lot harder quests and monsters than I did. I'm not even sure I had a Hunter Rank, since I never did the online stuff. What Star level of quests are you doing in single player? Is there even a star level? O_o In the Wii version, you get quests from the guild assigned by Star levels. Once you complete them all, you get access to the next level, ETC.
MH3U sounds much, much closer to the PSP variants than the Wii variant. I may need to get it first after all. XD
As for pretzals, it depends on why they're chewy. If they're chewy because they're warm, and soft, and fluffy, and just the most delicious soft pretzal ever, then yes. Very yes. I prefer them.
But if I reach into a bag of crispy pretzals, and it's chewy, I spit it out. Because that's bad.

It does have star levels. At the moment I'm doing 3 star quests, but that's by the guild standards and not village quests. I don't know if it's the same in the Wii version, but in MH3U 1 star guild quests cover pretty much all of the village quests including the 5 star ones. You can do the same guild quests in multiplayer that you can do in single player and it will count towards your single player record. You do have to finish certain quests in each star level to unlock the next one. Right now I'm working on the high rank Rathalos quest which is proving to be much harder than I thought it would.
Savant: Zion?

My friend, I believe you have surpassed me in Monster Hunting. In the Wii version, Guild quests and Villager quests were under the same heading, and I believe they only went up to 6 stars. Maybe 7. I know I never completed the last set. I didn't do the multiplayer stuff though, so perhaps there was a HR system and I just didn't know it. Regardless, I bow in honorable respect to your skillz. XD In the PSP versions, Freedom and Freedom Unite, it had a very similar rank system to MH3U and I don't think I ever passed HR 2.
I don't want to like it, but I can't help it; that's just good times.

I normally don't like EDM, but Savant's stuff is pretty great. However, there are some songs that have some bad language and stuff in them so you kind of have to watch out for that. But this guy cranks out an album about every month or so and each one is just as good as the one before it. He also dabbles in other styles, so not all of his music is EDM.
Laser Sharks is one of his non-EDM songs.
Laser Sharks?

That too, was pretty amazing. I like happy bubbly music, I 'spose. Though if anyone said that to me, I'd beat them with a metal album.
It's funny, but Edge of Space actually has Laser sharks as a very powerful enemy. Now I know where that came from. XD
In real life...I dunno. As long as they couldn't fly, I wouldn't be against sharks owning lasers. If they could fly and exist in air, I'ma say no. Double no.

Yeah... It would be like a Sharknado from Mars. That would be bad.
Horseradish?

I haven't seen that movie. My friend tried to coerce me a few years back, but I mysteriously contracted the plague or something, and couldn't. >_>
As for horseradish? Hard to say. I love it in one sense, especially the stuff that burns the top of your head off in volcano fashion, but at the same time, it's not something I search for in my dipping sauces.
I like it with specific enough things, I think, that it's hard for me to purchase since I won't use it often. Roast beef sammiches? Yes please. Arby's has made that the classic duo. Fried chicken? Down the hatch. If it doesn't burn, SPOON ON MORE RADISH OF THE HORSE
But say, french fries? No complaints, but no cheers either. Non-roast beef sammiches? Doesn't taste quite right to me. Vegetables? I'll try it.
Well, if I'm eating fresh vegetables, I'm probably out of other food anyway, so why not?

Good point. XD
This year at my church's seder dinner, I ate an entire jar of horseradish just to freak out my friend. I ended up regretting it though, because my stomach did not stop burning for 2 days.
