When everything seems to be going wrong with your morning, you can always
cheer yourself up with a liberal dose of random Tick quotes. Or at least I can.

Have you played Mario and Luigi yet? It makes some of the greatest innovations to ever touch an RPG, in my opinion.
Mainly the fact that you can actually dodge attacks in a turn based system, and the existence of a moustache statistic.

I haven't had a chance to play M&L yet no. That's one of the bigger downsides to poverty. I fully intend
to fix that in the near future though.
The M&L playing that is. Although I suppose I AM just about due for a new crazy money making scheme.

Hey, Slimey
With everybody talking about FFX-2, I feel left behind. I lack the money to
purchase all the new games hiting the shelves in the next few weeks, so
instead I'm waiting for my winter break when I can get a 20$ blockbuster
gameing freedom pass and beat all the games on my backlog. I meant to ask you
when FE was the topic: Do you ever let your people die? I reset whenever I
lose anyone, and it greatly increases the difficulty level since there's no
way to save and restart in the middle of a mission. Also, what influences the
ratings the oracle gives you? Survival is obvious, and Funds seems fairly
clear, but I've got no clue what the others are supposed to be.

As I think I mentioned a couple days ago, Q&A has topics now? Seriously, if I only accepted questions
about particular games on particular days, I think I'd snap. Not a fan of the homogenous inbox over here.
Anyway though, I also refuse to leave people dead in Fire Emblem. I generally make it a point never to
leave people dead in any game, regardless of how easy it is to bring'em back to life. It isn't really
that hard to pull off in FE though, seeing as the AI isn't particularly agressive.
Anyway though, I would think the little page of statistics would also cover how quickly you finish fights,
and presumably how much stuff you kill. You can actually get away with leaving an awful lot of units on
the maps if you are so inclined.
Incidently, I have to wonder what it is you've been playing, because I can think of precious few TRPGs
that DO let you save mid-battle (not counting of course the myriad games that let you save a suspend file,
as FE does that no problem).

You are correct in stating that the third dungeon in the original Legend of Zelda is not a swastika. The symbol is called the manji, which is clearly stated in the original instruction manual of the original Legend of Zelda. I'm not quite sure what the manji represents, but I recall reading somewhere that it was a Japanese symbol of good luck. The Pokemon Trading Card Game featured a card that had a small manji in the background, and there was public outcry about that. Apparently, people were less stupid (or, more likely, less attentative) in 1986.

I know some people brought it up, as I recall reading a response to it in an old Nintendo Power or somesuch.
Anyway, a few people pointed out the promo card thing, one of whom saying it was a zubat, not an unown
for whatever it's worth.

Hi Google,
Sorry about that just a hi thing I sent, it accidently sent when I was typing, I dunno why. Anyways, I'm just a bit curious, I'm doing a Societies project to see if there's a big connection to video games and alienation, and I wanted to know if you had anything intresting to comment about it. I won't mind if you are too busy to respond, I just thought I'd try.

Well, it depends on the angle you're going with with this particular paper, but let's try this one. Towards
the end of the 90s there, in the wake of some school shootings, a lot of random finger pointing was done
in the general direction of the videogame industry, to the extent that shortly before I graduated from
highschool, someone announced that the sort of kid most likely to snap and kill everyone around them was
the sort who largely kept to themselves, wore dark coats, and played a lot of videogames. So I had a handful
of people walking on eggshells around me there.
Then on the other side of the coin, sitting around talking about videogames all the time has also gotten
me this job here, where I have quite the abundance of social inclusion.
