Hmm... I see your point a bit, I also don't like to have games spoiled for me before I play them. However, these days so many RPGs get released that unless you're filthy stinking rich you can't afford all of them. Therefore, it IS nice to be able to do a little research into games before you get your hands on them. Personally, what I do is look at every single bit of info that appears on RPGamer about a game until I know enough about it to either be drooling over it, or just let it slide, then I go cold turkey until I've won it. Sure, it takes a bit of willpower and doing Q&A doesn't make things much easier, but it helps to be informed. Now then, as for complaining about lack of TGS info, the only people complaining about THAT I've seen are RPGamer's news and new media types, and that's just because they have nothing to do now. 8)

Well, since there was a deluge of stories done last night, you may have missed it, but Sega has announced a rather interesting offer. If you sign up for 2 years service from Sega's DC networking service, you get a free Dreamcast (or for those of us who already have one, your $200 back for it), plus a DC keyboard and those are just kinda spiffy. Anyway, the cost there is about $21 a month, which is about what I pay for my ISP, and a heck of a lot cheaper than some (coughAOLcough) so that's a pretty nice deal. I hope it works out for them too, the DC has some really nice stuff out/coming out, and it's going to be quite a while before we see a better piece of hardware in this country.

Googleshng:
Those pics were all done by Silkenray, as was our new logo. Anyway, the first one she did in MSPaint, but the rest are done in Photoshop I think. Hey, I have a Mac, how come I don't have any cool art programs? Oh right, because I can't draw anything more complex than a slime. 8)

Googleshng:
Capslock is bad, but a sentence or two never hurt anyone. Anyway, quite frankly, Square has made no announcements of translating the rerelease CT. I've said that several times before. More to the point, that PSX2 story did have a source on it. I don't recall exactly where it was originally from, but since it only mentioned good statistics, my guess would be IGN. RPGamer is, for the most part, a US based site.

Googleshng:
Yes, Akira Toriyama is a great artist and all, but so is Nobuteru Yuuki. As for Toriyama doing character designs for games, have you ever heard of the Dragon Quest/Warrior series? He's been doing those forever. As for Threads of Fate, well, I hear it's a bit like BFM, which I still don't have. If you like Tactics though, why don't you get FM3?

Googleshng:
As for my name, uh, both are acceptable. Leviathan is Le as in let, vi as in vibrate, ath as in path, an as in, well, an. As for the FF8 movie problem, we're still working on everything, be patient... or better yet, send problems you find to webmaster so we can nail them down... not this FF8 one though obviously.

Hello Googleshng. Hate to reduce you to being CC's personal answering service, but tell CC that that pic with Crono looking at the time machine was funny as hell! Best one yet!

Anyhow, if you want, you could put this at the end of your column one day.

The Real Reason Quistis got demoted....

Apparantly -someone- doesn't visit the FF-Series and FF-PSX boards.

this isn't a question I would just like to say I really like the new web page layout. It rules. Tell everyone at RPGamer that they are doing a great jobs and keep us all up to date on everything. thanks.

hello i wanted to know if you knew what the longest RPG made for playstation was besides Tactics Ogre.
Thank You
Joey

Whats your take on Vanguard Bandits? I heard its a lot like FF Tactics or Front Mission 3. And the fact that it comes with a Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Demo, which brings me closer to buying this game.
