Ask Veronica, The RPGamer Goddess Gamera's Great Gatsby Goodbye - Early Hours CST
It's time... God, doesn't that sound depressing? I can't stand
when that line is used in on-line RPGs, movies, books, etc. It irks me because it sounds like the hero(ine)
is doomed to die and *poof!* They live. Wait, why am I complaining? That means I'll
live, despite the circumstances. I'll save the galaxy in a giant spaceship that will set off a nuclear bomb in a
mothership 1/3 the size of the moon! Coolness! ^_^
Today's column consists of a mixture of letters from those of you who are sad to see me go (That's right,
I have fans! Egad! Fear me! I staffer. I shall blue-thwap ye! ^.^) and questions, obviously.
I hope that the length of todays will be much better (and not so desperate...) as yesterday's.
And for all of you who asked, I am re-activating the blue-thwap for my last column. ^^
And, for the last time...
On to Q & A Mayhem!!!

You are correct, sir!

To Veronica, who in her spare time does one-person broadway musicals;
How can you let Brad take over your position!?! He is only 63.417% as
sexy as you. He cannot leap tall buildings in a single bound! He lives in
Antartica, for Pete's sake! (Hey, what does Pete have to do with anything?)
He is a mere level 32, while you are a healthy level 78. He is the Selphie
of RPGamer, no one wants to put him in thier party (or invite him to one,
either.)
Also, he's been lurking in my bushes for the last few days, and it's
starting to creep me out.

Veronica:
Yes, all of the above information is true... except our levels.
Last time I pulled up the status screen I was at level 79. Get with the program, kupai!.
Oh yeah, don't knock Selphie! She's my most powerful magic/GF user. Poor Squall's compatibility with
Shiva is 32 and he's on Level 100. I'm not kidding. :)

Hi Veronica,
since you'll be having more free time now, I'd like to suggest a few things
to keep you occupied:
- read! (i love to read. most people my age don't read...it's a shame.
i'm 17.) Catcher in the Rye, simply rocks, so does The Great Gatsby.
- take up a musical instrument. (always fun, and inscreases brain
activity, musicians are just smarter people...)
- grandia. (of course)
- don't watch television. (ack!)
- listen to Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins.
...and that's all I can think of now. Oh yeah, finish ff8 already! bye.

Veronica:
Hey, thanks for the tips. I do about all five of those already, with the
exception of playing Grandia... and reading... and playing an instrument... Okay, so I should take
your advice. :)

WAAAI!!!

Veronica,
NO~~~~~~~!!! Well, you have your reasons to go. ;_; But could you maybe
thwap some jerk who wants you to leave? For old times sake. With the blue
letters and everything? Pleeeeeaaaaaase? You're like, my favorite Q&A host
since Thor (Not trying to suck up, and not trying to suck up by saying I'm
not sucking up, and not sucking about by not saying I'm sucking up about
sucking up X_x ). It was a lot of fun to read your columns *sniffle* Well, In
honor of your departure, I offer this plush Shinji Ikari doll *Magically
teleports doll with super powers*-Temjirim

Veronica:
A Shinji dollie!?! *huggle!* Thank you for your
kind words. :)

Dear "Final Somber" Ver,
Notice in FF8 how Rinoa's theme is similar to Eyes On Me without the
words and different instruments? Also, why include Hero drinks and holy
wars? The game's already too easy (IMO), so...why?
What would you like your name to be in an RPG in medieval style?
(Something like Mallin Corserran or Endarire Elward)-EE "Greeter of the Fallen"

Veronica:
Honestly, I just posted this letter to answer the question about my fantasy
name. No it is not Dirk Diggler! I'd have to go with the one I picked for an RPG my friends
and I played about a year ago. "Aki Miyato Daravorn". Sue me, I'm partial to Japanese names.
...okay, I also like Oredalia Pharis. :)

Hello last day RPGamera Q&A lady,
How could you people do this to me? First, It was Brad. I only started
reading the column when he started writing it. But, alas, he is a thing of
the past........until now. Weekends? But, Veronica, where are you going? May
good fortune follow you in any path you choose to take. Dragon T

Veronica:
I'll be put into cryogenic freezing like all of the other past
Q & A staffers. I'm not looking forward to having to go through the warm liquid goo phase
if I wake up, though. :/
But you know what? You can still e-mail and chat with me in my cryogenic freezing state!
- ICQ#: 39819622 (I do not authorize without talking first.)
- mIRC Nicknames: Ikari_Yui (on Esper.net), Ronnie_Bell, RPGamera, and Alita_Bell

Do any of you at RPGamer do volunteer work? Or do you sit around playing video
games and doing homework all day? If it's the latter, then I suggest you head on
over to the closest United Way, Big Bros Big Sisters, Family Center, or homeless
shelter and give a few hours to the community. It'll make you feel good about
yourself.
Then you can go back home and play RPGs to your heart's content knowing that you
are a proud volunteer. =)
Blah, now how do I explain to my mommy that a PSAT selection index of 224 isn't
terrible? Scout
|
|
Veronica:
Actually, I do neither! Yes, I play games and I do do homework *looks at book report
on 2001: A Space Odyssey due Tuesday and sighs* but not to the extreme. Every staffer is different though, and
nothing's wrong with volunteer work at all! Heck, I planted a tree once and now it's slowly growing into
a nice young tree. Seeing it made me feel all warm and tingly inside... kind of like... okay, I've gone way too far.

Incest is the Best!

*Final Fantasy 8 spoilers off the port bow.... sort of... O.O *
Hey foxy lady,
Have you noticed how much the Zell and Seifer cards look alike? If it wasn't
for the hair, they'd be twins. Twin brothers.
Going by the "every card is held by the parents of the character"rule, that
means that since Seifer's card is with Cid, that Zell must be Cid's son,
too. Seifer and Zell being twins and having to fight for their father's
attention explains their rivalry.
Of course, then you get the Squall card and realize "Hey! He's the third
kid!" That means that Laguna is NOT Squall's father, but Raine was sleeping
around with Cid, the hussie. And Cid, cheating on Edea like that! Ugh! The
scumbag must be stopped!
This one's a little more far fetched, but Rinoa and Cid do look strangely
similar. Plus, why else would he help her out for such little money unless
she was his daughter? That means that Julie was sleeping with Cid, too.
Don't even get me started on the incestuous relationship between Squall and
Rinoa... not to mention Irvine and Selphie!
I believe that Cid was the father of all the people in the world of FF8.
It's just common sense.

Are you sure you're not talking about Wilt Chamberlain?

Dear Veronica, i wanna know where did you come from? there don't seem to
be many rpgirls , so i am asking you where is a good place to get in
contact with some rpgirls. I swear if i find one, i am just going to
have to marry her. Does my Rinoa exist?.... or is my princess in anothercastle.

Veronica:
Babbages, Software Etc., or Electronics Boutique. Seriously. I go
to Babbages all of the time to look for games and once met someone who I still keep in touch with every so
often. If you're hellbent on never leaving your computer, look for an IRC chatroom with RPGs as the
topic or search around on ICQ for that special someone. There are many ways to meet that "girl of your dreams".
You just have to take the initiative.
