I also like the decorations around here. For the record they were thrown together by Matthew Wanlin, a reasonably new staffer. Does news. He also has a Mac, likes Xenogears, and has read everything by Roger Zelazny. Now that's my kind of guy! Let's not let his good work go by anonymously. Moving along, I kinda rushed through Shenmue, wasn't in a Space Harrier mood. LoD I used Albert and Meru to win, but the only character I really liked in the game was Rose. Stereotypes by element suck... except when the element is darkness. Now, as for Transformers the movie, obviously my favorite song is Dare to be Stupid, although regular ol' Dare is pretty good in that "This song is SO DATED you'd better not let anyone 5 years younger than you catch you listening to it" sort of way.

Well, yes, the remakes of the NES FFs on the wonderswan color DO look nice. However, they seem to me like some kind of sick experiment on the part of Square. Like someone at Square just thought "Hmm... I wonder how many people we can get to buy an obscure handheld system by a virtual nobody [Bandai], just by releasing remakes of our oldest games on it!" It's nice that they're giving them face lifts, but three REALLY old games that honestly don't have much nostalgia value aren't enough to make me buy a system with basically nothing else on it. I'll stick to the GBA.

OK... the Odin thing I can answer. While there is a much longer, messed up story behind it, basically, Odin's horse, Slepnir, is the child of Loki and a horse. About half of Loki's children are fairly messed up, and include a giant wolf and a serpent big enough to wrap around the world. Oh, and it should be 8 legs. My FF9 doesn't lag, you should look into that. The Build-It-Yourself Chocograph leads to something very special. Yes, Steiner wears mascara... you know they say it's always the quiet ones... to my understanding, summon length is random. I left it as Dagger. FF9 gets very easy if you character build like crazy, otherwise it can be a challenge. Finally, I can't speak for everyone, but I'M certainly not proud of this growing stack of unfinished games. If not for the fact that I do this column, I'd play one game until I won, then move on. I'm not even through FF9 yet and here's 2 games from game arts.

My 300 was in the Lagoon. A few people pointed out what the mumbled spanish was by the way. Anyway though, as for tOoT, yeah, after the game ends, Link has to sit around for the next 7 years watching the world get trashed. That must suck.

Hmm... you have an interesting point there. I know far too well the horrors of The Average Person. However, the one thing that never ceases to amaze me is that the average person who writes in to this column is a shockingly intellegent and helpful person. So, if people dig this concept, I think it'll work out. Now, as for these questions, BoF4 is the one game I had to let slip this month. SoA is great. Thor has bigger concerns at the momment, like finding a new host for his page, and finally... I'm getting my freebie game. In fairness the chain should be continued by getting a copy of Phantasy Star 2 or 4 (or 3, or 1) to Tomm there.

Nothing like some raving to wake you up, am I right? You know, if you just glance through that, you see the word pregnant close to the word Ranma. I don't like that line of thought one bit. 8)

Eh, that Superman joke yesterday was the first time I laughed while reading your column in months. Do more of that.

On another note..

Arguably, RPGamer has a slime doing their PR also.
