On behalf on the entire SydLexia.com staff, I’d like to wish you all a very merry Christmas.

      Comparing and contrasting pop culture is what SydLexians thrive on.  Step into the forums and you will see various discussions, but the most vigorous responses are dedicated to those that center around opinions of video games, movies and music. Prior to blood being drawn, grand events are devised in the form of voting challenges to appease the masses. Recently there have been two such events:

• Greatest 80s Movie – Winners: Back To The Future & The Empire Strikes Back
• Greatest 90s Movie – Winner: Fight Club

      While not everyone agrees 100%, the results seem to be approved by most.  At the very least, the cries for blood are temporarily squelched. Check out the above links to see how movies were picked and head into the forums to voice your opinions about the outcome of these events. Of course, if video games are more your thing, check out the Top 100 NES and SNES articles:

      With over 50 registrants, the first official SydLexia.com SNES Championship has begun. Douche McCallister is leading the forumers in the second video game challenge of the year. Just like the NES challenge held this past summer, he started the competition off with a bit of Zelda magic. The first challenge includes three boss fights from A Link to the Past.
 
 

      The first part of the challenge is to defeat Helmasaur with nothing but a single heart, a sword, and the hammer. If you don’t remember this boss, he is the the orange colored, fire breathing, tail wagging jerk that greets you as you attempt to finish the first labyrinth in the dark world. Muster your hatred of Douche’s selection and attack him as quickly as you can!
 
 

      Second in line is Arrghus the eyeball freak. Once again, Douche has presented you with only the bare essentials required to finish this fight. Hookshot with precision because if you miss, that single heart isn’t going to keep you alive very long.
 
 

      Should you pass through the first two portions of this challenge, you will be welcomed by Blind. One would initially think that Douche had been kind with this part of the challenge. He gives you the hookshot, the hammer, and a few hearts! Unfortunately he gives just enough hearts for you to have hope. Don’t expect this to be an easy fight. Blind will shoot you with his laser beam, toss his heads around at you and spit fireballs everywhere.
 
 

The Douche is angry, people… If this is the first challenge, think about what is to come!

The forumers are talking about this challenge in this thread.

The challenge information can be found here.

      For anyone who might be presently unaware, registration is currently underway for the SydLexia.com SNES Challenge. The SNES Challenge is an eleven week program consisting of ten challenges. You will have two weeks to complete the first challenge, and one week to complete each additional challenge. The competition starts on December 15th, but you have until December 28th, when the first challenge officially ends, to throw your hat into the ring.

The goods news is that all of the old posts have been imported from the former news section. The bad news is that all of your old comments have not been. However, you can still see them back at SydLexia.com News Blog Classic (SNBC). It won’t be updated anymore, but it will remain up forever and ever^*.

      An anonymous tipster read yesterday’s post about my blog account being broken and explained to me what I had to do to fix it. So expect a new FWSE within the next few days. Despite the news section being fixed, I still plan to debut a newer, prettier, more secure news section by the end of the year.
