Me thinks that "Pastor Makuma" was intentionally outta touch. At least I hope so, otherwise I will have lost all faith in humankind. Then, i'd take over the world with my collection of robotic butter knives. Nothing will stop me... muahahaha... (Hey, and give me the URL to that site, i like to heckle idiots. Pleeeeeeease... :-)

[ No can do.. sorry. :) ]

And yes, I DO have some questions!

1. Is there any way to defeat the modchip lockout in Wild Arms 2? I mean, I got my modchip specifically for import games (Fire Pro Wrestling G, yay!), and I feel as if i've been screwed outta an RPG... Of course, it being a plugmod, I could just take it out, but it's also my gameshark, and i'm a compulsive cheater as well... Wahhh... :-(

Well... you know, I've heard of several different things.. but nothing like super-confirmed, (I admit to being VERY out of the importing loop.. I don't have enough time to play the translated RPGs, let alone give a whirl to the ones I don't have a hope of reading. I'd say unplug the Game Shark, and play it like a real man. ;)

2. This isn't a question, more of a vent: I'm beginning to get mad at Suikoden. Pahn keeps dying at Teo's hands, and I can't figure out why. I actually took the time to level him up to around 30 (he WAS at 8), and he still dies with one hit from Teo. Maybe I just suck...

Remember to put decent armor on him, and sharp up his weapons. Then go grab yerself an FAQ which has the meanings of each of the statements that Teo says, so you know what he's going to do... and remember. Defend when he Wild-Attacks. :)

3. My dad gave me $150 yesterday for absolutly no reason whatsoever. I don't know why, but he said it's all mine. What goodies should I go for?

..I hear Vagrant Story is good, and Legend of Dragoon... well, check out JD's review. You could also try out Diablo2, or save it and buy Chrono Cross. :)

Well, thanks for putting up with me. It's 10:23 AM, meaning I woke up WAYYYY too early (in total, I got 6 hrs of sleep). Tell Heather that she did a good job today, and deserves a mint cookie. :-) OK, I'll shut up now.

Since she reads the column, I'll let you speak for yourself.

Ok, I want to get Diablo 2 and also I'd like to be able to play on the net. I think I need an upgrade or possibly I may just be better off gettting a new computer. My processor is AMD K-2 (I think) at 200 mhz. Are AMD processors any good for gaming? I have 32MB EDO RAM and I haven't checked to see how many sim and dim slots I have left but hopefully I have enough. Also, I have a S3 Trio 2MB 64Bit Video Card. Is that any good? I don't plan on getting a 3Dfx card right now. Got any advice for me?

Brad:
Well, the two main important pieces (in my opinion) are the video card, and the RAM you've got. Coming in 3rd, for online games is bandwidth, (though this should be 1st in all categories, as bandwidth is more important than anything else... er.. </geek> .. anyhow.) Those two make the real magic of gaming GO. Processor is on the list, and to be serious, a 200 is probably a bit slow for the high level of detail that D2 is gonna want. Then again, it might work fine. I'd spend money on a good video card first. :) As for AMD/Intel .. that's a holy war I'm not getting into. Middle of the road people would say there isn't much of a difference between the two.. go with your bad self.

Brad:
That's easy. Energy Nede may be sealed off from everyone else in the world, but before they did that, they made sure that they had all the banking systems in the universe secured. Can you imagine the kind of interest returns you'd get on 600 billion years, compounded!? The numbers are astronmical. Of course, so is the price of orange juice... talk about tarriffs!

Eternally gratefull..... (maybey),

Brad:
Well, personally, I plug my PSX into the back of my computer, since I have an ATI All in Wonder card. (Very good cards, by the way)... then I run a little TV application, which allows me to take screenshots. That's how I got all those beautifully done shots of Star Ocean 2, a year-n-somethin' ago. Neatest thing about the TV app: You can make it run as your wallpaper.. that's right, PSX screen (moving, playing, everything), as your wallpaper! Watch out for that Recycle Bin!

I've got Diablo II. I am writing simply to inform anyone who has been hiding under a rock for the last century (or at least year or two) of the greatness of he who is called Diablo. I can't even tell you (because sploilers are bad, mmmkay|?) how awesome the storyline is, but if you enjoyed the first game in this series, you won't be disappointed. The character classes are awesome, the skills learned (from the manual: Fist of the Heavens- This spell allows the paladin to summon the power of holy vengeance. Manifesting as lightning from the heavens, these bolts rain down from the sky, exploding into a thousand shafts of light that radiate outwards to banish evil from the battlefield.) kick ass, and did I mention the story line already?

Hey, a real question would be good. When you say game.ReleaseDate=+30, do you mean weeks, moths, or years? Cause I'd hate to have to wait until I'm 50 for Lunar EB.

... dude, ask WD, it's their time-line that they push back. :)

[ I've said it before, and I'll say it again. While I am not Christian myself, several of my best friends in this world are, and are very decent, MILD MANNERED, non-idiotic, very highly devoted, and nearly completely sane people. The idiots do exist though... mostly because the decent ones are scared by the radical ones, I mean, they are pretty scary. :) ]

Thank you for listening.

[ Just as a precaution, I'm sorry about the stoner comment. :) All in good fun. ]

I was just wondering... Whats your favorite Final Fantasy?

Brad: I'm very partial to 6 as my favorite, though 4 and 5 were both VERY good.

Hey Brad! How's it going?

It's not fair!! Indalecio is STILL beating me up. Why'd I hafta remove his limiter?? (sob sob) Claude is level freakin' 185 (with everyone else not too far behind), the Cave of Trials is almost done (I'm at Gabria Celeste) with Levatine Swords and Holy Sword Farwells up the yin yang (wherever that is (I failed bio)). WHY BRAD?!?! Just make him DIE!!! I want my ending!!!!

(Cough) 'scuse me.

~Rand

Brad: Dude, you asked for it.. don't come cryin' to me. :)

I had to look up vapid in the dictionary....

Brad: ... tee hee.

hey brad, just one real quick question, what the hell is wicca???

me as in kage goei

Brad: Well, it's some non-christian thing. They get all pissed off at Wiccans, (Chrstians), so it might have to do with crucifying or stoning people. In fact, come to think about it.. I think Wiccan philosophy has a lot to do with stoning people. Of course, I'm not a religion scholar, so I'm just blowing steam and attempting to be funny. :)

You're 21? I thought you were a -lot- younger than that. . .yikes. . . .heh heh. . .oh. . .sorry. . . -___-;;

-Dabria

Brad: .. that's me, dashing young women's hopes across America, and beyond. Or something.

Heather Rules!

~Rholdarb

Brad: I kinda like her myself. :)

Well, there wasn't half the evil that could have been in my Mailbox today that there was. I like it. Anyhow, it's late, I'm tired, and well, it's Goog's turn tomorrow.
