What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
Knights in the Nightmare, which should be renamed Walls of Tutorial Screens. Supposedly it gets pretty good once you figure out what you're doing though.

This is good advice fundamentally, but it's hard to gauge. Damn it!
Well it's more like, if you ARE planning on marrying her, then before you guys tie the knot, you should live with her to ensure that you guys aren't gonna be at each other's throats 6 months down the line.
If you're still undecided, then don't live with her, because if you two end up breaking up, well you can look forward to a very awkward living environment until you or she moves out.

I've talked with some other people on this (actually, just Magi), and it seems like no matter what, you're going to have to spend the time if you want depth to your dungeons.
This goes without saying. Caspian's Maze (from the original KC) is still the craziest thing I've ever designed; that took me a couple weeks. Kyrie Desert in KC(A) probably took longer to plan, sketch, design, implement and balance than everything else in the game up to that point combined.
Wow, Magi told me she took the majority of a week to do a lot of her more complex dungeons, and I thought even that was a lot. But of course it really shows through.
But damn, I'm starting to understand why you stopped developing KC(A). Nobody wants to put that much effort into something, and pretty much have only a handful of people play it. That's honestly really sucktascular.

mooch off your parents for as long as you can. Sage advice, really.
Pretty much this. Otherwise..
Make sure you have a secure job, and plenty of savings. You should be able to save money every month instead of barely scraping by on the bills. You should also be able to account for something like 2 months (preferably more), in case shit happens and you lose your job/car/limbs/etc.
When you find a place, before you move in, take photos of everything and if anything's broken, make sure that you get that acknowledged in writing from the landlord. This is to ensure that any damages that had occurred before you moved in don't get taken out of your deposit.
Roommate-wise, well chances are, you're not going to be living by yourself unless you have a really well paying job right off the bat. Just make sure everyone's clear on the rules, and do your best to avoid drama/passive aggressive behaviour. Also, don't live with your girlfriend unless you're planning on marrying her.
Trailers for amateur games?
Trailers are a fairly safe bet to showcase what your game's like without having to have it be downloaded. It generally doesn't hurt to make one, and in many cases, it can help you gain a few more downloads than otherwise.
I've done one before for my first game. I might consider doing another one when/if I finish my current project.

Neok, that dungeon skeleton tileset is marvelous.
Thanks :). I'm still hoping to hear from you on your process in building these bad boys.
I've talked with some other people on this (actually, just Magi), and it seems like no matter what, you're going to have to spend the time if you want depth to your dungeons. Unfortunately, I have very little patience, so this is probably something I'll struggle with to improve for the rest of my game making career. It's really put the complexity of Zelda games in perspective in any case.
What are you thinking about right now?

Two of Rasta's avatars make me want to play Parasite Eve and Grandia II again.
At least, I think that's Aya and Millenia...
It doesn't matter, you should still play Parasite Eve.
Now I'm thinking about Parasite Eve 3 and how inevitable it is that I'm gonna buy a PS3 eventually no matter how much I convince myself that it's a waste of time and money. Or a 360.
