People have been coming up to me all day on this topic. For those of you who don't know, which is evidently a LOT of you, Sharkey is known for making the occassional very sick and very overelaborate joke. He once converted his page to an authentic Sailor Moon fan site complete with links and images for about a week. Now then, here is a list of some of the subtle things that let you know this is a joke: 1- That's a funny picture. 2- The alt text. "It's true. I like saw it on the news an..." 3- "last week Thor was struck by a car and killed while out getting a very early start on his trick-or-treating." Yeah, 2 weeks early. 4- "His mother called me last night and gave me the news" Now, I know Thor, I know Sharkey. Sharkey and Thor don't know eachother well enough for their mothers to have eachother's phone numbers. 5- Rather than actually take down his page, Sharkey just cleverly hid a link to it, where more funny pics like that can be found. If he was actually upset, there wouldn't be anything there. For the record though, I'm pretty darn sure if I suddenly died, and Sharkey found out, he'd throw up some hideous joking image made from stuff on my page and tell some jokes. Oh, and here's a little followup now that I've fallen asleep, woken up, and went on my daily rounds. 6- Thor just updated his page this morning. 8)

OK, OB64 uses a pretty standard TRPG convension. It only takes 100 EXP to go up a level, but the ammount you get depends on the difference between your level and what you're fighting. So, high level characters won't get much EXP wise except against bosses, or similarly high levelled characters. As a general rule of thumb, you should try to stay within 2 levels of anything you kill (being two levels lower is obviously better). As for getting one or two units to REALLY high levels, I'm afraid you're stuck character building. Now, for triple spells, I don't believe they work with opposing elements. So, Fire Wind Water won't work, but Fire Wind Dark would. More importantly, Water Wind Water works. It works VERY well. I've seen it do 170 damage. Make sure everyone's in the same row though. Now, for the DW question... "one must travel to Rimuldar, buy some keys, come back, and dig through the cave, the grave is in the locked away of Grimanham, or whatever it's called, same as DWi NES, it's in the final room" - da boss.

If you have the basic equipment for a class, and someone with the stat requirements, it's displayed as an available class. I've been avoiding ALL FF9 info, but I've heard it's not as easy as the last too, but it's still not HARD hard. I know of like 5 people making RPGamer RPGs with RPG Maker. Finally, yeah, I'm probably getting Shen Mue. I like Space Harrier and Outrun. Wish the DC could use SMS controllers like the Genesis can.

Googleshng:
Yes, Ft. Jasper is one of those tiny little lasers from the intro. Think about how big it is. Think how many are on the ship. That ship is the biggest thing I can think of that you can really get a mental grip on. My favorite scenes in the game would probably have to be: ChuChu getting bigger, the elements forming Voltron, the SDGY4 scene, Billy's gear launching, the big desert fight, and the Kislev arena, probably in that order. Finally, yeah, pretty much everything late in the game is a snap with the right equipment, but figuring out what to equip is the strategic goodness that makes me love the game so.

Googleshng:
First, YAY! Now then, you'll probably want Skies of Arcadia. You also might want Shen Mue. It might not be an RPG really, but whatever it is, it seems pretty cool. As I've said many times, DC net based games will work with any ISP. Considering that the PSX2 won't even be available until the general public until March, you might have to wait until april. Finally, the assembly coder wasn't for me, that was for a friend. Both of us would seem to have programmers now though.

Googleshng:
When I saw that letter yesterday, I thought to myself, Uh-oh. Thankfully I caught it early on, so this explanation here is handy rather than box clutter. So, thanks.

Heeheehee, I always knew you were a boy, Googleshng!Wait a minute, *splashes with cold water* Eeeekk!!!Your a girl? Wait a minute!!

Since i couldn't find any info on Dew Prism in the review section, I'm asking for your take on the game.

Am I the only one who noticed that the main character of Pokemon Gold walks to the beat of Parapiri Paradaisu?

What does 'bishounen' mean???...I asked everyone even 8 random strangers and 2 of them were drunk...Please don't let me go insane. The social worker is working on that. I AM NOT LOVABLE! LEAVE ME ALONE!...see?

Escaflowne on DVD sooooooo pretty

Hi Goog,
I found a pretty groovy "music video" that is all done in 8-bit-esque graphics and music. Doesn't have much to do with RPGs, but it's a trip down memory lane for us old timers:
