Movie Thoughts

Googleshng - January 22 '03- 2:00 Eastern Standard Time

A good while ago, Blizzard successfully sued a movie for being called Diablo, as they somehow managed to get ahold of the copyright on a spanish word. It just occurred to me what a dangerous precident that sets up for Steven King... oh smurf, I said it. Ack! I said it again! Gaaaaaaah!

Google,

This quote...
"Hey! I may be ugly and hate filled but... what was that last part?"

I know it! Moe says it on the simpsons after some one insults him on his bad qualties.
As for a question for this Q & A, what do you the latest trend on settings in great RPG's will be? See, Xenosaga and .hack//infection are placed in techo settings like advanced space colonies and cyberspace while Zelda:Wind Waker and Everquest Adventures are based in medieval technological cultures. My question is what setting do you think cool RPGs are going to be placed in majorly?

Huge Dreamer

Googleshng:
You can bank on the majority of RPGs always taking place in a fantasy setting, just like you can bank on the average horror movie taking place in a small town in the middle of nowhere. The setting just works for the genre.

"Cool" RPGs on the other hand, that's another story. If you enjoy originality and creativity in your games, odds are you'll gravitate more towards the games where people experiment with different settings and concepts.

I answered the drooling bit yesterday.

To Maester Google ::Fayth sings::

Doesn't it bother you that the last "latest release" was over a month ago? On top of that, all the RPGs for the next quarter are being plopped down at nearly the same time. Oh, cruel fate, why do you mock me!?

OK, enough of THAT nonsence...

Anyhow, is there one or two RPG(s) that you're looking forward to above the rest? Just curious.

My special attack: Bandiger Spin!!!
Erm... not really.

NeoCarbuncle

Googleshng:
Yes, it is somewhat annoying how game releases are always clumped together. The logic goes a bit like this though. Publisher A sez "I'm all for everyone staggering games out evenly, as long as my game hits the shelves first so people don't run out of money first." So does Publisher B, C, D, etc.

In fairness though, you can always space out when you play those games over the next release lull.

Quickies

"the game saves you the trouble of watching it play out and just gives you the cash and money" Was someone a little tired while writing that? ;) Dahne Hoping it's not her webcomic you were talking about.	Clearly. Meant EXP. Anyway, as a general rule I don't click links in letters, so I doubt it was yours.
HOW DO YOU EXPLORE OUTSIDE THE CASTLE? I HAVE COMPLETED THE GAME ALREADY. IS THERE ANY WAY??? LET ME KNOW FOR I LOVE THIS GAME. THANXS A LOT, MINDY	No. Oh, and next time try not to hit capslock before you start typing.

The Last Laugh:

I seem to be suffering from an imbalance of the humours. Perhaps I would benefit from some codliver oil or a bloodletting... nah, I suppose the modern perscription of soup and kleenex will have to do.

Googleshng "So why do your sinuses go back to your ears?" @rpgamer.com

I suppose blowing my ears would be a bad idea...
