Googleshng - December 22 '99- 1:30 Eastern Standard Time
How long have I been saying it was the 6th right here?
Anyway, I've been spending the whole day helping the new meat get this huge Koudelka update up.
It's really taking a lot out of me for some reason. Ugh, and I still have to get a rant up
tonight or tomorrow.
Anyway, about that whole FF5 thing, hereis a picture, and here is
a step by step guide through some other unvisible place. That should thouroughly crush the issue.
Thanks to the people who sent those.
Hmm... I haven't updated the pic archive lately. I hope I haven't thrown any stuff out. I'm
sorry but I haven't had any free time to upload them in. Oh, and for the record, google.jpg
is a REALLY bad title to use for such a thing. same with google.gif, googleshng.bmp, GOOGLES.JPG
and so on. 8)
One last openning thought for you. Someone yesterday sent me an e-mail which reasoned that I must
be a girl because I was in a bad mood on the 20th 2 months in a row. I mention this for several
reasons. First, that's disturbingly observant. I mean, I thought I'd only been here like 2 weeks
not 2 months. Second, that's REALLY sexist. Third, well, there might be something to the theory
that the cycles of the moon effect the minds of my the average reader. I mean, chances are I'm
not refering to YOU, but people have really been doing some odd stuff the last couple days.
Mailing the wrong person, flooding me with FF5 stuff, sending the same think 5 times, etc.
Well that was a long tanjent that went nowhere. Let's get rolling.

Quickies
|
Dear Goog,
I think the concept of the "quickies" has been pretty much thrown into
the gutter. Because of that part of the column, people who write
incredibly stupid letters or short two word or one word letters are able
to have their "works of art" published. It was originally implemented
to answer short questions that do not require a full section of the
column, but it's progressed to being home to stuff like:
You're not wearing shorts!

-AGiES- *(Brian Easton)* Otaku for life!
Oh well. Just felt like mentioning it. :-) Not your fault, of
course. I think it was the Bradster (He's cool, so we'll blame ermm...
Veronica for it) that did it to them. :-( Also, you might wanna think
about having something else in place of the regular Q&A for Mondays if
you continue to not get any email. :-) You could do sumpin' cool at
the top, and then answer a few questions at the bottom for the serious
emails.

Googleshng:
Well, I see your point. I even agree a bit. Actually, if
you pay attention, I HAVE posted some serious quickies in my time. Still, I think
one of the main reasons Quickies became silly is that well, we all need to unwind
by the end of the column, you know?

Save me!
|
Hey Google,
Everybody knows the Playstation 2 will be backwards compatible, but I read
somewhere that the new memory cards will be in bytes, not blocks. Well, how
will that affect a game like Xenogears that lists the memory card's contents
when you save? How would it display the data... especially for PSX2 games?
I'd hate to think that I can't play one of my favorite games on the PSX2
without it crashing every time i try to save. Any ideas?
|
|
Googleshng:
I wouldn't worry. First of all, I hear
that the PSX2 can use memory cards for both systems. Even if it
can't, dumping blocks isn't as bad as it sounds. I don't know the real
numbers and I don't want to accurately estimate them, but let's say 1 block
equals 1 meg. If a game needs to save a meg of stuff, well and good, but if
it needs to save .1 or 1.1, you're wasting a ton of space. On the PSX2 it would
just make a smaller block. As for having more than 15 saved games on one that displays
all the contents, hmm... I wouldn't worry too much about it right now.

Yay! Norse Myth!
|
Hey google, you're into that Norse mythology stuff, so help an ignorant
gamer out. How is "Ragnarok" pronounced. I know it means "twilight of
the gods." Come on, tell us the story of Ragnarok. Miyu got us bad off
topic with Anime and JPop, so let's get even further into left field
with some Norse mythology!

Googleshng:
OK, Ragnarok (Rag-nah-rock) is, quite
frankly, the big fight at the end. It's a big long myth written in
future tense, and it's all a big huge fight scene where just about everyone
(gods, mortals, everyone) die. Isn't Norse mythology great?

Xenogears rules.
|
Is it true that Xenogears didn't get good good sales here in America?
I think Xenogears is the greatest RPG of all time (Too bad about the second
disk.. interesting, yet somewhat boring). Anyway, the characters were just
excellent. Each had an own unique background that fits in with the complex
plot.(Like Chrono Trigger). The pot was excellent, deep and complex, with a
good theme about life and religion. The music was very beutiful, and really
set the emotion.
Question 2
What do you think of Wild Arms 2? The characters look like rip-offs of the
first. (What kind of name is Ashley for a guy? geeze..)
|
|
Googleshng:
Xenogears is what's called a sleeper hit. It didn't get enough
publicity for everyone to play it, but those who did (like this crowd) for the most
part loved it. THere's a LOT of sleeper hits on the Saturn. 8)
As for WA2, well, I'm getting WA1 for Christmas, haven't played it before. I can say
though that I know of at least one really cool guy named Ashley. The main character from
a little film called Army of Darkness. He cut his own hand off and replaced it with a
chainsaw he did!

Wow, a CT Question?
|
Ahhh, been a long time since I've played Chrono Trigger. Two questions, Googleshng (note the
fact I wrote out your entire name. I could go into a long rant about this like I did in my last two
emails but they weren't published, so I'm starting a process of elimination to see where the
roadblock is. ...Hey look, I just made a long rant...!):
1. Is there a Triple Tech for Frog, Marle, and Robo? I've got all their techniques, and I've got the
blue, silver, gold, and black rocks--still no Triple Tech for them...don't tell me the designers didn't
put one in or I'll pout (Four years after I last played, I'm going muy unconventional and excluding
Crono from my party permanently after the whole Zeal disaster). Figures, I throw the most
interesting characters into a party and get no Triple Tech [I killed Magus because I was in a bad
mood when I reached the North Cape, so don't bring him up in an 'interesting character' argument
for THIS party...next game...when I can + up >:D].
2. If you haven't deleted my long, rambling email yet, then:
How do you pronounce the character's names? My friend and I once had a long-running argument
that was never resolved over this and playing CT again got me thinking about it. Sorry if it's
incoherent, but I can't very well attach pronunciation symbols to this email ;_;

Googleshng:
First, you're missing the White (or "girly") rock which I recall
is just about the easilest to get. Anyway, nope. I seem to recall there's Robo Ayla and
Magus, and something with Ayla and Frog, but your 3 don't work. Heck, just check who can
equip which rocks. Oh, and you shouldn't ever kill Magus. He rules far too much.
While I did snip the rest, here's how I pronounce them: Crono is obvious. Marle is like
snarl, Lucca is Luke-uh, Frog and Robo are obvious, Ayla is Ay (like the Fonz says) la,
Magus is like Bag us, and the Epoch, either Eh-pock or EE-pock are acceptable.

In warm and icy water!

Can I get the rights to develop the game "Googleshng's Legacy?" It would
start you (Googleshng) and you would have magic powers of being able to
turn into a girl whenever you wanted.

Googleshng:
Someone beat you to it. You just described a Super Famicom
Ranma RPG that never got translated, but with Ranma not me. It's pretty cool actually.
