Googleshng - November 26 '99- 1:30 Eastern Standard Time
I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving.
A good chunk of what I got today is on the issue of speach in FMVs in the
future. Subbed vs. dubbed. I think I'll print a few of these.
I'm sorry this is going up so late everyone. Since yesterday was Thanksgiving and everything, not many people
were around to ask me questions. Anyway, I have finally recieved a third picture of myself by
you people, so here it is. This one's by SirMagus.

Hey Googleshngggggrrrrrrr *hack*
Umm,i gotta ask you something about FFA:
I saw pictures of squall in FF6 stile,you now,SD and stuff,but is he in the
game? Can you play him ? That would Be ''vetstrak'' as we dutch would say.
The flying dutchman

|
Googleshng:
This is one of those questions that just
turns up over and over. In FFA, sometimes when you load FF6, you
see Squall, sometimes when you load FF7, you see Cloud. They aren't
really in the game, Square was just being silly.

The smallest FF8 spoiler yet
|
Oh high and noble Google, the true successor to Brad, I've been wondering
for a long time; is it possilbe to actualy eat some of those hot dogs Zell is
always raving about in FF8? Most of the time I'm in the cafeteria all those
lunch ladies go on nonstalgia trips, so I guessed that meant they were sold
out. But can you get them at any point?
Another thing I've been wondering, in the opening the Pokemon (hey it's
rpg related!) I always see that scene where Pikachu runs past Venusaur,
Charizard, blastoise, etc. and Ash, but he also runs between some girl's
legs. Just who is that girl?
One more thing, are you guys hiring?
-Willcloud
|
|
Googleshng:
Nope. You never can buy hotdogs in FF8.
As for Pokémon, well, I haven't seen every episode, but I don't think
that's anyone in particular.
This last point of yours is the rather interesting point of RPGamer's hiring policies.
Basically, it works like this. RPGamer staffers are a sickly lot. I think MAYBE 3
of us have been here for a year. Heck, I've only been here two weeks, and I'm not the
newest. Anyway, the problem with these opennings is that they fill up instantaniously.
There's really only two ways to get them though. You can either be unbelievably lucky
like me, or you can act like a vulture. Stalk a staffer, when they look tired, ask for
their job. I don't see why you'd want to work here though. I mean, it's not like any of
us are here for the money, and there really isn't much glory.

Hey Google,
Since you needed some mail, I decided to send and see if
you'd print this. First, have you seen Princess Mononoke? I wish I could
but the nearest theater is in the next state and since I can't drive,
that makes it harder. Also, I've heard a lot about the craze with
simulation dating rpgs such as Sakura Taisen and Thousand Arms which
incorporates dating members of your team and how it affects your
performance in battle. What do you honestly think about it? Do you think
it adds a different touch to it or not? Anyway, one last question:
boxers or briefs? ^_^
-Miyuki
|
|
Googleshng:
I have yet to see Princess Mononoke. I plan to this weekend.
All of you should too! As for dating sim RPGs, well, I personally am a bit put off by
the concept. Finally, well, boxer meat is much too tender, er, wait, was that what you
meant?

Nitpicking
|
Some people have called Metal Gear Solid and RPG or Adventure game. I
think it is primarily action, but just with a better plot than all but
maybe 5 other games ever released (probably). What do you think it is?
-Frank
|
|
Googleshng:
I haven't played Metal Gear Solid myself, but I can tell
you it isn't an RPG. I can also say with near certainty that it isn't an adventure
game. My definition of RPG is QUITE rigid, and it doesn't include a lot of stuff
covered on RPGamer. Adventure games are things like Zork, Myst and Sam and Max.
That really just leaves Action and Action/RPG. Action/RPG used to be what they called
a game with both Action and RPG elements, but these days, most action games contain RPG
elements, so the distiction is meaningless.

It begins

I have issues with subtitles like Juryu, whenever you see a foreign film
you have to watch the subtitles to understand and can't pay too much
attention to the rest of the movie. Also on a second note, how do you
know that Japanese voice actors are good anyway? I mean, maybe they
sound just as corny as Americans.

Googleshng:
Well, basically, I watch a lot of anime. Some subbed, some
dubbed. Trust me. Japan has all the good voice actors. They can convincingly portray
emotions, gasp, cry, and scream!

TITLE

Perhaps Juryu does watch a lot of subtitled things, but then, just because he watches more of it
does not make him an expert. I watch anime frequently, and I much prefer subtitled (of course,
this is a long and old debate...) I'll tell you, you don't miss nearly as much as you think.
Eventually you don't even realize that you're reading subtitles anymore. I can't tell you the
number of times I start singing along to the opening themes of things like Utena or Saber
Marionette J in English, only to realize that, 'oh yeah, it's Japanese...' American voice actors just
don't know what they're doing. Try taking a DVD anime title and switching back and forth between
Japanese and English. You'll understand then. And, if you're like me, you'll start shuddering, too.

Googleshng:
Yes, dirrectly comparing always works. Personally, I used to
hate subtitles because they divert your attention, but once you get used to them, you
notice that you have a lot more vocal talent there, and, really, you don't need to rely
on the subtitles. Most of what gets said is proper nouns, distorted english, or really
really common japanese vocabulary that you can pick up pretty fast ne? ^_^
