Chris Martin - November 3rd '01- 2:00 Eastern Standard Time
Currently, there are two types of people in this world. There are those who watched today's conclusion of Reboot's "Daemon Rising" story, and those who haven't been rocked nearly hard enough. I won't spoil anything for those of you who missed it, but damn, I always loved Hexadecimal. Now she's my numba one fictional woman. (Number two remains a tie between Faye Valentine and the seXXXy White Mage from the original Final Fantasy.) Oh yeah, and they also showed some movie about some blonde bimbo and this gay alien from outerspace. Like I'd know anything about that stuff...
Blah blah blah, woefully short collection of letters, blah blah blah, print all that I got, blah blah blah.

Hiya!
When Goog was asked "GameCube or Xbox" yesterday, he gave a quick
response that Xbox is a joke and so on. I'm not saying Xbox is gonna be all
super or GameCube is gonna suck (I'm trying to get my hands on a PS2 this
Christmas), but quick judgements and people not giving something a fair
chance are what killed the Dreamcast. I personally think Xbox is looking
pretty sweet right now.
1) Xbox is not expensive compared to the GameCube. It comes with a hard
drive and a network connection. Both of these functions you will have to buy
separately for the GameCube. You gotta save games, right? Go buy a memory
card for GameCube. Save it to hard drive on Xbox.
2) Xbox can play DVD's.
3) Halo looks like A LOT of fun and so do much of the launch games. Games
are an opinion thing, but to me, Xbox launch games are looking cool.
4) One very cool thing about the Xbox HD is that you can rip music from CD's
and choose a playlist to play while playing games. If the game music sucks,
just replace it. I think that's awesome.
Well, there's more stuff I could say, but I'm not really trying to sell
Xboxes. I'll just say this: people need to chill with company loyalty or
dislike. Give everything a chance. Not just game systems, but most
everything in life. yay

He who poops in boxes of sand:
Once again, I'll repeat my personal mantra of console purchase. I don't care what company makes a console. All it really comes down to in the end is the selection of games. The X-box could do better than most of the "hard core" crowd is willing to give it credit for. The Gamecube's selection of games looks like a given. Created by Nintendo, the thing comes complete with all of the cool games Nintendo is infamous for making. My guess is that the X-box won't do half-bad. I doubt that it'll be the planet shaking toy that some people think it might be, but I think it'll fare much better than your average skeptic would have you believe.
Oh yeah, and the X-box is getting Shenmue 2. That's one so far. (Curses...)

Sinister Six

Now that Samhein's down for the count, Christmas season has officially begun. Tremble in fear at the wave of soulless merchandising heading our way!
Oh, right, questions...
1. What did you do for Halloween? I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas and passed out candy to neighborhood kids (razorblade & anthrax-free!).
2. Since the supporting cast of Kingdom Hearts is obviously being selected with a dartboard, what characters would you like to see in it? I cast my vote for
Barett Wallace, Vivi Orunitier, Rafiki (from the Lion King) and Darkwing Duck.
3. Anachronox is mad fun, yo, but I've been stonewalled by a boss on Limbus. You're familiar with those six creatures that take turns darting behind a large
energy shield and healing? How the heck can a player take those mofos down?
4. I'm considering hunting down a copy of Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption. (Crap, was that a long enough title?) Keeping in mind I've never played
the actual paper-&-pen RPG...is it any good? Oh, and I'm gonna get the Longest Journey too. The demo was pretty fun.
5. Are you going to watch the live-action Tick show when it debuts? I'm kinda wary, but I think I'll check it out.
6. And finally, the one thing I'd like to have from an RPG is my own theme, that plays whenever I show up. I call dibs on 'Circles' by Soul Coughing.
L8tr,

Cheshire Catalyst:
1. Didn't do too much for la dia de las brujas. My costume consisted entirely of my regular clothes with a cheap pair of strap on angel wings on the back. I was the angel of twentysomething angst.
2. The Lion King and Darkwing Duck. Excellent choices. There's no hope of Kingdom Hearts including any characters from that kick-ass Gargoyles cartoon, is there? How about Princess Mononoke? Hell, give me Celes, Vincent Valentine, The Cheshire Cat, and Zeus, and I'll be happy.
3. Ahh, those six beasties. Three remain out front, while the other three in the back row remain untouchable and heal themselves. For that fight, I used Boots, Dr. Rho, and Good Ol' Paco. Each beast has an elemental color. Use a type of MysTech of the opposite element. Also, Paco's "RadiusRage" (or something...) is pretty handy since it hits all three up front enemies.
4. Vampire: TM is a pen-and-paper game brought to you by White Wolf. The same people also produce other games in the same universe like "Werewolf: The Apocalypse", "Mage: The Ascension", and my personal favorite "Exalted." The games focus more on actual "Role-Playing" and less on the standard "Hack-and-Slash" elements of other games. It's a good game with a good system that's currently in its 3rd edition, if I'm not mistaken.
5. Gotta at least give it a try. Hopes aren't too high though.
6. Would picking smile dk's "Mr. Wonderful" be too much to ask?

Masamine. All mine. (God, that was lame.)

Oh great and Mighty Cat god!
I have a Chrono Cross question that I hoping you can help me with.
For you see I'm all the way up to the Masamune Quest and Dario is
kicking the living daylights out of me! Oh what is the best way to defeat
this menace? I almost wanted to bash my controller to the floor several times because he keeps slaughtering me like I have mad cow disease!
Please help!

Cheshire Catalyst:
Dario is a mean, mean man. It doesn't help that he uses tonnes of black magic, AND you're stuck with Riddel (who's white innate and, well, sucks.)
So how do you win? Try to smite him with Lynx and not Serge. That way, you aren't stuck with two white-innates. Also, equip the black plate that you stole from the Black Dragon. What? You didn't steal it? Well, then you're in for an insane fight. Here's the big hint.
DO NOT USE ANY TECHS/ELEMENTS ON DARIO. HE WILL SPANK YOU LIKE A RED-HEADED STEPCHILD.
Ahem. Seriously, his counterattack is nasty. If you only hit him with physical attacks, Dario follows an incredibly basic pattern of attack. Physical Attack - Dash&Slash - Physical - Sonic Sword. Those attacks are still really powerful (especially Dash/Slash) Fill your elemental slots with as much healing as you can. (You won't be attacking Dario with them anyway) Heal often and defend often too to restore your stamina.
Keep it up. If you really can't win, write it off as something to do in Newgame+. You really should try though, the rewards are sweet. (Serge's best weapon and access to a sidestory quest)
