Googleshng - January 20 '99- 1:30 Eastern Standard Time
Sorry this is up so late... again. My cousin's
ISP died last night so I couldn't finish, but now I can! I also just realized
that for the whole month this mail program has been attaching my cousin's
signiture to all the mail I send. That explains the recent rash of people
who insist I'm male. Anyway, here's Paws.
Paws: Hi! =^^= Wow, this is exciting, really. I got lots of interesting
questions (some which nearly passed the bounds of decency :P) Hmm, what to
say? Oh, yeah, how about this: I'm 18, and live in my own little apartment
away from parents. Very nice. I'm obsessed with RPGs, and Japaname. My
favorite anime is Ranma 1/2. And I like transformers. G1's is cool, but I'm
more into Beast Wars and Beast Machines. More details, I'm sure, are in the
questions below, so read on :)

Yo yo what's up hommie G?
I can't decide between Grandia and Thousand Arms as the game I'm going to buy next. Tell me which is the better
of the 2. Let's say hypothetically that I'm on a limited budget and can
only afford 1. Anyway, the input is appreciated.

Paws:
I toss my vote towards Grandia. It's the next game I'm buying. It says 80
game hours on the pack, which translates to about 100 for me. I'm
methodical :) However, if you're tossing between the two, how about renting
one and see. Maybe you'll fall in love with it and buy it when you return
the game-or maybe you'll bring it back the same day. But you'll never have
second thoughts about getting a bum game =^^=
Googleshng:
I agree. I may have been screaming END those
last few hours but it's a great game. Besides, I here TA has boring combat.

Sick of games? Never!

Sorry, PokŽmon and translated FFs aren't exactly my cup of tea. But,
Paws, do you plan on continually liking games? I mean once you are like
really old, do you think you'll still be playing them? I've heard a lot
people say that once they reached college and the "real" world that they
lost interest in games. I don't really see that happening to me, because I
eventually want to help design at least one RPG.
Anyway, that may or may not be a very relevant question. But I looked
at the odds of you getting mail like, "cAn y0u sEnD mE ur piC?!" vs. a
real question and thought my odds were pretty good. Oh, and if I ever DO
make my RPG, you'll be the first person I'll call as a voice-actor. ;-)

Paws:
Yep. I mean, if I had my NES I'd still be playing the original Final
Fantasy. I'm serious, I played it in Dec '98 last. I'm not sure how I
remember, but I do. Go fig :P
As for pictures, not only do I not have access to a scanner, most of the
pictures I have of me are NOT PG-13 =^^*=
And I'd love to be a voice actor. Ask Goog to hook us up when you get yor
project running.
Googleshng:
I think the reason most people over a certain
age don't play video games anymore is that, well, all the games that
were around when they were kids were 4-bit! I mean, if you grow up
on Pacman and Joust, would YOU be playing FF8 right now? It's a different
mind set. Hey... yeah, if I ever stick voice acting in this game of
mine I WILL need voice actors. I'll keep you in mind too. 8)

Google.. please.. PLEASE for the love of god, print one of my letters.
I'll give you my entire transformers figures collection, plus a
transformers blanket if you play nice.
I have an rpg game music question and I would ever so much like to hear
your opinion. I have read countless reviews of game music, since I first
discovered that I was not the only one recording this stuff to listen to
it, and an unfortunate trend seemed to be disliking "recycled music".
Allow me to elaborate: Particularly in games that have 2 or more in a
series (Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star, Dragon Warrior, Suikoden, I think
you get the idea) they often use portions or remix's of music from games
earlier in the series. Some people complain that this is lame because
they want all new music. As for myself, I LOVE it when they do that. I
get a little tingly feeling whenever I hear the similarities in ff
battle music, or a returning characters theme song. Am I weird for
liking this? Do I need to be put on some sort of medication? Thank you
so much for your time! Oh! And hello Paws *wink*
Regards,
Esper "Thundercats Ho!" Knight

Paws:
Personally, I too enjoy music that comes back. I dunno, it seems like the
FF series wouldn't be the FF series without the freaky overworld music that
all seems to come from the same basic score and that slowly drives you
insane. =^^=
Googleshng:
I remember playing PS4 and hearing that
remixed tower music and bouncing up and down with joy. I suppose
that means it's a good thing. I also seem to recall that PS4 was
originally planned to bring back the original's cool first person
caves but it was scrapped for some reason. Oh well.

Greco-Roman fun

There actually is a series that's based around ancient Greek legends.
You know, Zeus, Athena, and all them. It's called Glorious Light of
Heracles, and it never made it to the US. Niether did the other four or
so. Go figure :P But then, it's just another Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior
clone anyway...

Paws:
My personal experience with religion in games? It's somehow goofed up,
altered or twisted to something it's not. While I don't go out of my way to
bypass it, I've just sorta trained myself to ignore it. Easiest way to
ignore games. Religion in games will always be one of those unanswered
questions-everyone has an answer, and they're right in one way or another.
What can you do? =^^=
Googleshng:
I see. Well uh, mumblegrumble.

Alright! I confess! I confess! Not the comfy chair!

Hi, it's me again,
First off, I was pleased to know I wasn't the only other person who
e-mailed you about Transformers (I wasn't was I 'cause that would just be
sad) but I have another correction for you ^_^. In the Amen section of
yesterdays (1-18-00) column you retorted saying that there was no RPG with
Jesus in it. As much as I hate to admit it, there was one and it was for
NES. I do not recall the name, but it was sold at a bush-burning store of
Woodland CA (where I live). Needless to say this game did not sell a
single
copy (to my knowledge) and faded into obscurity as quickly as did Secret
of
Evermore. I just thought I would point that out to you and reply "yes,
that
was the first sign of the apocalypse". Feel free to post bits and pieces
of
this, I would love to see the look on the faces of the RPGamer enhabitants
when they find out this little tidbit.

Paws:
Sorry, Goog, but he's right. It was listed on some sight I saw, it was like
the top 20 suckiest games for the NES. You played Moses, then Jesus. I
faintly remember one of the churches having a copy and siccing it on me at a
youth group meeting. The graphics stank, even for the NES, and while I
imagine some effort might have been put into the plot, it was mainly bible
quotes and a lot of jumping. :)
Googleshng:
I'm going to go over here now.

Manditory Question

Hey Paws,
How do you pronounce acvpoicjpaijgfdsajkre......just
kidding. Anyway, what are your favorite RPG's?
-Jeffypop
|

Paws:
-My favorite games include FFT-it'll always be my top-as well as Pokemon
Yellow (I'm probably too old for Pokemon but that's OK!) Link: OoT and
Kartia. I got into FFV a lot, but I think that's because it was the FFT
drawing board :)
And I was tempted to pronouce that :P
Googleshng:
I've answered this before. 8)
