Googleshng - February 15 '99- 1:30 Eastern Standard Time
This is what they call a lull. Lately I've been getting only a
third of my usual loads of letters. This could be for a number of reasons. Maybe you all suddenly
got sick of me... although the page stats don't back that one up. Maybe I've actually answered
all your questions... again, I doubt it. Then maybe you're all busy... but midterms are over.
It's probably just that no games have come out in a while and so there's nothing to talk about.
Fortunately, SaGa Frontier 2 comes out tomorrow (along with Alpha Centauri... allegedly).
Unfortunately, I can't afford it... although I DID finally get Wild ARMs so I can talk about that
now! That's SOMETHING, right?

School Spirit
|
Google,
Today at school we had this big pep rally. That means
that everyone gets together in the gym and yells and
gets something strange called "school spirit" (I was
reading). All the classes (freshmen, sophmore, etc.)
had their own "class color" that they had to wear, and
the lucky juniors got to wear yellow. Haha. I don't
know what happened, but about half of them found some
yellow ponchos to wear. The funny part is that those
ponchos made them look exactly like Cid VI. So there
were about thirty people looking like Cid VI jumping
around and yelling. It was hilarious, but of course I
was the only one in the school who understood why I
was cracking up for 5 minutes. I hate my school. Can
I go to yours?

Googleshng: Heh, when I was in high school and there was a pep rally, I
just hit in my special fortified bunker with my couch, a fridge, a microwave, a good
book, and a friend of mine... I could still hear the screams though. Oh, and I'm not
kidding, in fact I got the couch when I graduated. Anyway, you're welcome to it if you
don't mind moving, although they demolished my bunker when building an addition to the
school and all the RPG players I know graduate this year. 8)

I'll be watching you
|
Dear Google,
I just got curious and decided to ask you if you have ever played any
game or seen any anime for the sole purpose of looking at a specific
character. In Escaflowne, I skipped any episode that didn't have
Dilandau, in FF8, I waited for Fuujin's appearance, and so on and so
forth. I don't know why I look out for them so often; maybe because they
add a certain flavour to events and such.
So do you do this often?
|
Googleshng: Not really, I mean, sure I always like it when you get Impact
in Goemon, and sure I didn't like the Zelgadis free tapes 4 and 5 of Slayers (but
that's because they were dubbed), but I never really obsess much over one particular
character... fine, MAYBE Anri in my first time through Shining Force, but just because
she was so overpowered that I could beat fights using just her (and I did). On the other
hand, my cousin (yes, the one with my gameboy) just can't stand Vierge. Whenever he has to
use Vierge, he stops playing the game forever. He's still in that fight in the Tower of
Babel.

Found one!
|
Hello,
I have a question about FF8, and I have searched everywhere for an awnser,
but there doesn't seem to be one. The spell Meltdown, when cast, will turn
the target purpleish. What does this do? Is it helpful, if not why it it
there? I hope you know the awnser, because God nows that no one else does.
-Johnny Danger
|
Googleshng: Woohoo, a serious question! Meltdown reduces the target's Vit
(or physical defense if you will) to 0. It also looks pretty cool. You know though, on
the status screen is this little option called Tutorial. Not only does it let you take
tests, but it has full explainations of every spell and GF ability in the game. Oh, and
plot notes too! Go look there before you ask me next time. 8)

Why me?

Hi, oh mighty Google.
This question will prove to be interesting.
If you were to date a character in any of the Final Fantasy games, who would it be? Give two
people, one for if you were male, or one for if you were female. Plus, give reasons why. You don't
HAVE to answer this question, the next one is the most important.
I have just put a Dreamcast on layaway, I was wondering if Evolution was a decent RPG to buy.
Yes, I can get over the melonheaded anime style characters.
Thanks for posting my message,

Googleshng: Well, I personally don't think Evolution looks all that great,
but that's just a matter of personal taste. If shiny happy randomly generated dungeons
are what you want, have a blast with it. As for your other question, well, I wouldn't
want to go on a date with any of them, and the feelings probably mutual, but since you
insist, if I were female, Edgar. He's a king and he has no shame, I could probably get
a chochobo, a cape, and a big wad of cash out of him for nothing! If I were male, that
one's tougher, there's not many girls, I guess Quistis though, since she takes HER dates
to Jurrasic Park. 8)

That's not an RPG!
|
Googlymoogly,
I wasn't sure whether to ask you or Brad about this, since I know
Brad's played Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver for PSX, but I'm impatient so
I'll ask you. I saw the game for Dreamcast the other day - and how much
better do you think that would be over the PSX version? I played the
first (Blood Omen) for PSX and it was alright, but I really don't have a
clue about Soul Reaver for PSX -or- Dreamcast. Would it be a good buy?
Yes/no? (so far all I have for DC is Evolution and Soul Calibur..and EV
stank really bad.) Anyway, that's all, buhbye!

Googleshng: I haven't played anything you've mentioned except Soul Calibur,
but I seem to recall the original Blood Omen was like Gauntlet and the new one is more
like a Tomb Raider clone. What I do know is that I like the DC controller more than the
PSX controller (although the button naming is an excercise in cruelty and the wire comming
out of the bottom is just kinda odd). That's really all I can say on the matter. 8)

Ah, here we go.

Yo Goog,
Whoops, my bad! :( I really must have spaced out..... Anyway, here is the
link, in helpful HTML form. http://www.ffonline.com/ffstore/domestics.htm
FF Online doesn't have Brave Fencer Musashi, but Squaresoft's online store
does. http://www.squaresoft.com/store/index.html
I can't tell you how long either might be on processing shipping though. Now
I hope that I have redeemed myself, and that may I be more helpful in the
future.

Googleshng: Someone else told me BFM can be found at Amazon
for $27 if anyone actually cares. I've actually been told been told that the service at
Square's online store is, shall we say, less than dependable. Like, someone I know that
ordered a teeshirt, a sound track, and a game wound up with 2 soundtracks, 3 teeshirts,
and a watch, or something to that effect. On the other hand, someone else I know didn't
have any problems at all. FF Online is a new one on me, and I know people who buy more
stuff on Amazon than anywhere else and never have a problem. Take your pick.
