Googleshng and Kiah- December 23 '99- 1:30 Eastern Standard Time
Before we get to the column proper, I have some announcements to make.
First of all, I'm surprised that more people corrected my Ragnaršk pronounciation than the fact that
I forgot about the Gold Rock.
OK, sorry. Yesterday I was wrong. That party DOES have a triple. Give Frog the Gold Rock and the Masamune+
to use it.
As for Ragnaršk (see? I can spell it right people), here's two people from Northern Europe saying
it correctly: One and Another. Unless a god appears in my room
and corrects me, I'm not going to change this again.
Hey, does anyone have a nice voice and the ability to make wavs of it? You could record the correct
pronounciation of everything and we can make it into a guide! 8)
One last think before Kiah gives his introduction. At the bottom of the column is a picture of
a Sailor Moon cosplayer that can REALLY fill out a fuku. I met this person at Anime Central when
I was there. Very hot. Don't you all go saying I'm a sexist and flaming me until you've seen the
pic. You have been warned.
Kiah:
Hi, I'm Kiah, the resident psycho at RPGamer. I do New Media, and the
occasional news story. You can also call me Matt, M Man, Psycho guy from
RPGamer, Hey You... (list of names continues). My field of knowledge is
pretty much exclusive to AD&D, since I lack a PSX. Oh well. Anyway, let's get
into the questions!

Dear Googleshng,
I have to agree with you, the coolest guy ever to not live, was the
main character from the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness Series. However, his
name
is Ash, not Ashley.
But, still, he kicked alot of arse, I mean, the man built himself a
replacement hand and made gunpowder from his chemistry book, how cool is
that?
The only other cool main character is Joel(Not Mike) from the first MST3K
series. Sorry Mike, Joel was better.
Oh, right, this is a videogame column, guess I should ask a video game
question. I am an avid rare game collector, and if you name a realy rare
game even for the NES, i've got it. I recently dug out my copy of Lufia
2(which was like the best SNES game) and got to when i get the Dual Blade.
Then I remembered the serious glitch where you cant make out anything. This
was in several copies if I remember correctly. Did they ever release a
fixed
version of the game? I wanna get my hands on it.
Thanks for listening to my rants,
The Missing Lump
P.S. I honestly dont care if you are male, feale, both, or neither, keep up
the great work.

Kiah:
No one cares that I'm co-hosting... sniffle...
Anyway, yeah, Ash is cool. The only way I knew about Ash was excessive
watching of Reboot in the afternoon. Fear me, for I have way to much free
time.
As for the Lufia 2 question... I dunno. I played all of 5 minutes of it.
Sorry.
Googleshng:
Ahem. If you had faithfully watched all three of the Evil Dead
films, you would have noticed that Ash's sister calls him by his full name, Ashley.
Other Ashes include the main characters in Vandal Hearts and Pokémon.
As for Lufia 2, sorry, it's always glitchy there. Actually, Lufia 2 has a LOT of bugs.
Still a great game though.

I'm actually starting to enjoy not getting any of these posted! Really!
Here's some questions anyway:
I've had quite a bit of nostalgia running through my existence lately so I
thought maybe someone else should be forced into my momentary insanity.
<NOSTALGIA>
7th Saga: What the hell is Pison's problem? He recreated himself on two
seperate occasions and got increasingly easier with each transformation.
You'd think he would have hired some cronies after getting laid out the
first if not second time.
Dragon Warrior II: "Thou art as strong as a hibbabongo, and twice as good
looking!" That comment was just funny. Is it possible to get a second
Water Flying Cloth? I know you can get a second magic loom but is the
second artifact still on the second floor of the twin tower?
Chrono Trigger: No matter how many scenario's I complete, the old man
ALWAYS tells me that "Someone near to me is in trouble. Find them fast!" I
always assumed that this was Lucca's mother but after completing her
scenario nothing changed with the old man. (?)
</NOSTALGIA>
And a future question: How did you like the overall story with Wild ARMs?
It's personally one of my favorite PSX RPG's out there.
"Have a merry christmas!"

Kiah:
OK, I haven't played half of these games, but here goes.
7th Saga: He couldn't afford a chiropractor. After you "laid him out" the
first time, he couldn't move for a week. You're lucky he doesn't want you to
pay his therapy bills.
Dragon Warrior II: Why do you need two? I'm reasonably sure only the Princess
can wear it because it's a dress... and I don't think Nintendo would let a
cross-dresser through their censors.
Chrono Trigger: Played it, noticed it, didn't bother me that much. I still
got New Game +, so I didn't worry about it.
Wild Arms: Haven't played it, so I give it a 5 on the scale of 1 being random
to 10 being random.
Googleshng:
I'm not going to use the pretty multipart format today.
7th Saga: Pison's just a loser, OK? DW2: I agree with Kiah pretty much. Chrono Trigger:
I hear that goes away after you off Zeal.

MORE Pronounciation?
|
Google,
I've been wondering, how in the heck do you pronounce Aeris? I
pronounce it air-is as in hiss. Two of my friends pronounce it Air-ees
as in the god of war. Which is correct?
Joey
|
|
Kiah:
I'm not sure I'm the person to be asking this, but you did, which means I get
to mess with all of your minds. I pronounce it A-ris or Air-is, depending on
what kind of mood I'm in. So I say your friends are wrong, because Kiah said
so.
Googleshng:
It's Air-iss... or Air-ith if you prefer. Actually, if you
want the traditional pronounciation of AE, that's another story, no correcting me today!

Kiah actually answers?
|
Kiah,
Well, guess this things going to get to you and Googleshng both, so...
1. Have you any idea how much Diablo 2 is going to cost, and the release
date? My friend Mark and I are going to purchase that as soon as it's out,
and get some CD-R's and well...(Shh...!) (What, c'mon, we want
to adventure together for a lower cost! Necromancer and Barbarian all the
way!)
2. Yeah! Someone who plays AD&D! (Hey Googleshng, do you play to?) WHat
kind of campaign are you in? I made my own, it's a big chain of islands with
magical technology like "Crystal Ball Telecommunications Network" and stuff
like that. If you both could be any character in real life, what kind would
you be (i.e. Cleric who cast Necromantic spells, ect...)
That's all for now. Hmm, maybe I should do Googleshng a nice anime pic of
himself in pencil for his signiture thing...like Brad and Veronica had...nah,
why would you want that?

Kiah:
No clue as to the cost of Diablo 2. However, the law of Predictable Software
Companies states that $40 is a good estimate. As for the release date,
Blizzard says First Half 2000
Right now, I'm DMing a Dragonlance campaign online. And if I could be any
character... I dunno. I can never decide what kind of character I want to be.
(Psionicist? Shifter? Bard? Ranger?)
And, if you really wanted to appease the New Media guy, you could draw me a
nice ninja. =D
Googleshng:
Don't trust Blizzard dates. They're delusional. As for AD&D,
well, it's pretty much the worst RPG I've played, but it's really fun. I once was in
a very long campaign that started normal but turned Planescape, and then another where
I was a modron, pretty soon when I go to Chicago I'll probably join another campaign
that's going on. Hmm, maybe I can take over the girlfriend of my cousin's hasidic
lesbian elven priest... or not. Oh, and as for the pic, go ahead. I could use one.

More of this?

Howzabout "Googleshng's Tournament?" A fighting game where you change
gender and you have different attacks and weapons in different genders,
and all your friends are the same way, and you can fight as them too.

Kiah:
I'd play it. Don't know if I'd like it, but I'd play it.
Googleshng:
You just described ANOTHER Ranma game. Several actually I think.
At least one of those HAS been translated though. Besides, all my friends are male all
the time... to my knowledge.

Hiya Google and Kiah!
What do you guys think of Torment and how it stacks up to BG and
vice-versa? I plan on getting Torment for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure
I'll like it ... but I never played BG. I've thought about getting BG too,
but I'd like to know what you guys think.
Happy Holidays! And a happy (Read

Kiah:
Ahhh! Janet Reno! Hide everything!
... Ahem! Now then, Mrs. Reno, I haven't played Planescape: Torment quite
yet, despite the fact that I've been drooling over it in the New Media
section every time I do an update for it (Mike told to stop it though, he got
tired of it dripping on his Pikachu). From what I have seen, it seems to be
much like Baldur's Gate.
Seeing as you haven't played it, I'll put it quite simply. Baldur's Gate is
AD&D put into computer game format. Very few rules were changed, and those
were just minor things such as rangers not being able to use two weapons. I
apologize for dragging this out so long, but Planescape: Torment and Baldur's
Gate are both worth it.
Googleshng:
I haven't played either since I'm broke, but Zac (remember
him?) is running around drooling over Torment, besides, Planescape is cool. Oh, and
I don't like plugging sites like that, but it's Sharkey so you're forgiven. Sharkey's
cool.
