I still need to see that movie. Oh, and everybody can have a free unvitation to India, on the house!

Interesting note on the X-Box game. It looks good, perhaps, but not enough to draw out of my wallet the kind of money it takes to purchase an entire system.

As far as GB RPGs that are out now, I like the SaGa series, called Final Fantasy Legend in English. There's always Pokémon, if you want to go that route. Lufia: The Legend Returns is scheduled to come out in September, but it keeps getting pushed back, so I'm not sure when to actually expect it. Before the end of the year, I hope. A number of RPGs are scheduled to come out for GBA in the future, but

1. First of all: whether evil or not, giving Coaxmetal the modron cube is highly chaotic. Modrons are the epitome of Lawful Neutral, so to oppose them doesn't get you any Law points. Secondly, as for the reason so many items are geared towards lawful good characters, I don't really know. Perhaps the game is making an attempt to teach you to be lawful and good? I doubt it, there were plenty of opportunities for other alignments as well.. I seem to remember an axe usable only by evil characters, though I could be misremembering.
2. There's nothing like that planned at this moment. I know a couple individual workers at Black Isle want to make another one, but they're mostly focused on Torn at the moment.
3. I haven't. Someone probably has, though! Whether I know such a person is a different question...
4. Nope.

Chimerasame:
1. Hmm. Canon? I dunno. I guess Locke and Celes. Non-canon, that's a good question. There are so many possible... hmm. Valeeeria... aaand.. *thinks* ...Jeane!

2. Any number of games contain love stories that don't fit that pattern at all... I mean, even something as mainstream as FF7, were Aeris or Tifa prone to tantrums?

3. There was a guy in Kaipo who was in love with Edward, but they didn't translate his text fully in the FF2e SNES version. I'm not sure if it came through in Chronicles or not. Chrono Trigger's Flea was bi (presumably, anyway, s/he used charm on both genders.) There're rumors about all kinds of characters... Kuja, Gremio, Barret... you name a game, there's a character in it thought to be gay.

Chimerasame:
Cool, Trigun rocks. I dunno about the Eva movies. About the decision: do you think the price drop will take the PS2 down to 125$CDN? I don't think there's any chance of that. Get the PS2. If you get a DVD player now for 250, and the PS2 drops to, what's a good estimate, 200 or so? You'll have spent 450. It's better to just spend $375 now.

Have you ever seen me singing in the sunshine 
One lovely afternoon? 
You can near me if you really want 
You can hear me clear pretty soon 
Have you ever seen me singing in the sunshine 
One lovely afternoon? 
Sing it loud so you can feel fine-- 
Let us sing forever and a day! 
Here, deep in the forest, 
Forgive and forget 
See, everything is new 
Here deep in the forest 
Forget 'bout trifles hurting you! 
Why don't you let 'em go away? 
(Shall we sing? Shall we sing? 
No one's watching!) 
Why don't you all together stay? 
(In the forest you can have a lot of...fun!) 
Have you ever seen me playing in the shade of 
One lovely apple tree? 
You can find me if you really want 
Come and join me. You're gonna be free! 
Have you ever seen me playing in the shade of 
One lovely apple tree? 
We are friends and never disagree-- 
Let us play forever and a day! 

(refrain) 
Why don't you let 'em go away? 
(Shall we play? Shall we play? 
Please don't delay!) 
Why don't you all together stay? 
(In the forest you can have a lot of...fun!) 
Why don't you let 'em go away? 
(Shall we dance? Shall we dance? 
Take a good chance!) 
Why don't you all together stay? 
(In the forest you can have a lot of...fun!)

1. *rolls d20* You missed the skeleton. It attacks with its scimitar. *rolls d20* It misses. Your turn.

2. Well, I think I set the record for most simultaneous guest hosts. Other than that, I actually haven't pulled too many weird stunts. Huh. I'm surprised with myself.

3. That guy, I don't recall his name but I assume you mean the one who charges you 39 coins to up a stat? He won't raise stats past maximum. All he does is raise one by the equivalent of two experience levels, and lower the other two by the equivalent of one experience level each. For the most part, he's not very useful, unless you change your mind about what stats you wanted to improve at previous levels. I, too, wished I could have more than 30 badge points...

There seem to be two main ways. First, exactly as it's spelled if it were in Japanese. Chi-meh-rah-sah-meh. However, I usually pronounce the first syllable 'Ki' rather than 'Chi,' since the word Chimera is pronounced with a hard K sound. Should that question be in the FAQ? I think another reader pointed out the series was called Ogre Battle. Valkyrie Profile? Sounds cool, I should buy it. Or Vagrant Story. I should buy one of the two. After I finish Suikoden II. And, nobody can be told what the Matrix is, you have to go look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary for yourself. I didn't happen to see that Family Guy, I need to find a copy of it somewhere. Anybody out there have a digital copy they feel like sending me? ;)
