Gin'irochi - October 28 '00- 3:15 Eastern Daylight Time
Yeesh! Where does the time go? I've been
plugging at ideas for the new format all day, and before I knew it, it
was 3:00. Sorry I'm so late again.... I'll have tonight's column up early
to make up for it. Anyhow, the new format is starting to take shape. I'll
offer a preview of it before I get it on the site to basically have the
higher ups (That's you guys. :) rate it, and tell me if you like the new
format or the old one better.

A good idea... |
|
Hey Googs and Gin-
I've HTML-ized this email for your convenience. After a small bit of thinking
on the Q&A FAQ, I realized that one of the most asked questions you guys
seem to get is, "What game do you reccomend I get?" So how's this for
a thought: in addition to the FAQ, how about a game reccomendation list?
Of course, it's up to you, but here's an example layout... For the opinions,
I'm making guesses, because I don't know your tastes other than what I
read in the column. The reader column is based on my opinion, how you
might do this is up to you... maybe just the general jist you get, or
maybe a voting script, listing a percentage of how many readers reccomend
it?
Game | Google | Gin | Reader
Xenogears | High | High | High
Star Ocean 2 | Low | High | Medium
F. Fant. Anth.| Low | Low | Medium
Or a bit more spiffy-looking...
I really think this would be a great idea, just so people can get an idea
of what games they should look into without having to a) clutter your mailbox(es),
b) have to wait for a response, and c) Have to check to see if there's a
review available. Of course, this would just be an opinion thing... and
like the FAQ (which at the time that I'm writing, has only one question),
just add to it as time goes along.
I wouldn't think this would be too hard to do... and I think it would add
a good deal of extra quality to the column as an information source (as
if it isn't already!). I hope you at least will take this suggestion into
consideration.

Gin'irochi:
You know, that's a pretty good idea. I'll think abnout pursuing that,
and run it by Google. Thanks for the idea!

Spoilers? Nah... |

Hi Gin! I'd love to see that Serge costume of yours, btw. But anyhoo.
I beat Chrono Cross about a week ago (yeah, I'm slow, don't rub it in)
and I just wanted to know something. Is there anyone else that was EXTREMELY
disapointed with that ending? I even got the good one where you play those
stupid element flavors then the Chrono Cross. The ending was so crappy,
I almost cried, threw up, and hurled my PlayStation out the window, all
at the same time. Is there anyway, (maybe thru New Game +) that you can
actually get a good ending?
frum a very discouraged Rand
P.S. And that nameless person with the TD does NOT have blonde hair!!!
>:(

Gin'irochi:
Actually, there are a total of 10 endings in Chrono Cross. At least, that
I know of. Some are better than others, some funny, some serious. Sorry
to hear that you didn't like the ending to CC.... Think of it this way.
At least there WAS an ending. ( Think Blue's quest in SaGa Frontier. )

More WEAPON stuff that doesn't have a calibur rating. |
|
Hail I have a question. Yesterday a guy named Geronimo said there was
a WEAPON in FFVI. Where is it? The reason I wonder is because the WEAPONS
are usually some of the hardest beasts around in the FF's, well, exept
for diamond. Also what was the WEAPON called that tried to attack Junion,
but got thrashed by the cannon? Did it even have a name?

Gin'irochi:
The weapon that gets blown away IS Diamond Weapon. :P Anyway, that weapon
from Final Fantasy 6 is none other than Atma Weapon. He Sucks. A Lot.
Mostly because he kicked my ass, but that's OK. Grr.... :P

Diabler Tew, Heeyuck! |
|
Yes, yes I would like fries with that. I figured everyone normally answers
that part last, so I'd answer it first. Go originality. Unless I'm wrong...
in that case... uhh... Go conformity!! Yeah.
Anyways, I was romping around in Diablo 2 (Renidragon on the US East
server, would love to get a game with some serious gamers as opposed to
a number of the shmucks out there)... I came across a gem shrine. It gave
me a chipped topaz. I went back later (in the same game), and it was active
again, and upgraded my topaz to a flawed one. Whoohoo! Question: how/when
do shrines (specifically gem shrines, but I assume it's general) regenerate?
Heh, I'm obviously seeing a use for this trick. Of course, I doubt I'm
the first to find it.
|
|
Gin'irochi:
Hmmm.... it was my impression that the Shrines regenerated with each visit
to the area. That is, with each new visit. But, I don't play Diablo
II over BattleNet, so I can't be sure what exactly the rules are there.
Oh well...

They were just made that way. Because they're Pinky, they're Pinky and the

Just wanted to let you know what I'm going to be for Halloween. I'm
going to wear sweatpants and an undershirt, a mask made from a paper bag,
a bath towel for a cape, and I'm going to cover myself in shaving cream,
and go as......SHAVING CREAM MAN!!!!!! Robust Stu
|
Wow... My question is, what are you going to do to Mail Boxes? Rub up against
them? Hmm.... |
|
Hmm...a Pinky and the Brain reference in that there hidden message....
~~NightTransfer

Yes it was! Now lets see if you can get Today's reference. ;) |

I have Googleshng. Give me Suikogaiden or or the slime gets it.
-Megane
|
OK, so either I give you Suiko Gaiden or Google gets it? I'm not sure if
Google even likes the Suikoden series, but if you really want to give him
a copy of the game, go for it. O:) |

Who're you? Don't matter... Want some rye? 'Course you do!

You know, that sounds really familiar. Where
is that from...?

The Last Laugh:
