Here's your ridiculous link for the day.
An action figure company called "Hero Builders" is releasing a collection of action figures based on the War on Terrorism. You, yes YOU, can own such action-packed heroes like President George W. Bush (comes with pistol and combat knife), Ex-mayor Rudy Guliani (The man who proved the clicheacute;, "What a difference a day makes."), and British Prime Minister Tony Blair (complete with adorable little knickers.) Even villains like Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein(pending) are available for sale.
I plan on getting a Tony Blair figure, and putting him up with my Green Lantern, Vash the Stampede and Evangelion Unit-01 and make them all fight.

Final Fantasy X Spoilers! Avert thine virgin eyes!
Hello Chesh,
In FFX, do you think it's worth it to build up everyone's weapons and
stuff before I fight Sin?
Bye bye *waves hand*

Cheshire Catalyst:
Getting the ultimate weapons requires some work. But is it at all worth it? The ultimate weapons all share two abilities that make them incredibly useful. First is "Break Damage Limit." This simply allows characters to do more than the usual cap of 9999 damage to an enemy. This applies to all forms of attack, and even includes magical attacks. (Making Yuna and Lulu's ultimate weapons especially handy.) Second, you get the "Double AP" ability. This ability, while not exclusive to the ultimate weapons, makes them really worth it. Against the right enemy, a character will gain a sphere level at the end of every battle. (Sometimes, as many as two or even three.)
The other abilities aren't chopped liver either. (Which would just be silly, giving a weapon a meat-related ability) Many come with "Evade-counterattack" (self-explanitory.) Also, Yuna and Lulu's ultimate weapons each come with the "One MP Cost" ability. Combine this with a broken damage limit, and I had Yuna casting Holy for about 17,000-35,000 damage every turn for only one MP.
Yuna's Nirvana is by far the easist weapon to get. (Remember: To make the ultimate weapons, you need the weapon, and its respective Sigil and Crest.) As long as you took the time to get Yojimbo, Anima, and The Magus Sisters, then everything else is a breeze. Hers was the only one I really needed, but I imagine that getting Tidus's Caldabolg or Auron's Masamune could be really helpful too. Lulu's Onion Knight, while as powerful as Yuna's weapon, is much harder to get. (You need to dodge 200 lightning bolts on the Thunder Plains for the Venus Crest)
Are they worth it? Yes. Broken damage limits are fun. Just don't kill yourself trying to get all of them.

Hiya Chemmy Kitty ^.^ How're you today?
If you ask me, the best PC RPG is definitely Baldur's Gate II. The game was just awesome. After being set off to raise the necessary cash for your transaction with the Shadow Thieves, you're pretty much as non-linear as you can be while still having story. And the fact that, like Deus Ex, you can totally choose how to play (kill em all, sneak around, talk your way out of everything) is way cool.
And the story! <> I won't spoil it for the newbies but i about peed my pants just cuz I didn't want to leave the desk.
But that will not last much longer (the thing about it being the best)! With Neverwinter Nights being in the last stages of development, we're on the verge of the coolest experience ever! Woo! Yes, I am fanatically waiting for the release, just go with it ^.^

Baldur's gate 2 does a good job of turning your character loose and allow you to do some real role-playing. Basically, for certain reasons, you need about 50,000 gold. How you get it is up to you.
Deus Ex, the only game reviewed on SomethingAwful to ever recieve a positive score, is another excellent RPG.

Warning:Final Fantasy 9 Spoilers
Hello O mighty weekend host. I was wondering about the whole "hard rock in
video games" thing,and I think it's a wonderful idea. I'm actually planning
on using Van Halen's "Jump" as the opening theme for my game,along with some
classic Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate for the end bosses. Music has had a
heavy infuence on me,and as a result,shall always have a place in my games.
Do you know of any places in any RPGs where hard rock would have sounded
good? I think the battle with Necron at the end of FFIX could use some
Rammstein,eh? That's it for now,oh and,the quote form yesterday's quickies
is form the Powerpuff Girls,when the criminal hides the diamond in a box of
cereal and,well you've seen it.

While I can't think of any specific songs for any specific moments, a guitar-driven pounding soundtrack would be a nice change from the usual orchestrated fare. How about we just play the song "Detachable Penis" by King Missile whenever Kuja comes on the screen?

Credit where it's due.

While Interplay did publish BG and Black Isle may have worked on the
subsequent games and expansions, the real credit for Baldur's Gate should
go to BioWare; the happy people who are making Neverwinter Nights.
Also IIRC, the only thing you need to do to play a European SNES game is
either have a Game Genie or take a piece of plastic out of the inside of
the system. As far as NTSC/PAL go the SNES had different versions made
for specific territories.
