The contrast between those two questions is absolutely priceless. Think I'll answer the happy one first. All the music I listen to can be classified as at least one of the following: Weird Al, They Might Be Giants, 80s techno, game music (like this cool Metroid remix), J-Pop/anime theme songs, and/or classical. At that I don't listen to much though. Now then, on to your serious question. First of all, RPGamer has has both an editorials section and message boards in additon to this Q&A column. Between those two, you can have nice quick debates between a ton of people, or long winded cerebral exchanges. That should cover all your debating needs. It should also be stressed that this is a Q&A column. It's for people to ask me Questions, and recieve Answers to them. So that's what I try to deliver. It also should be noted that there's only two sides to any debate. So, if one breaks out, I get 50 copies each of two letters, and practically nothing else. I know you'd THINK that everyone in one camp would have a different take on any given issue, but experience has proven otherwise to me. Chalk it up to great minds thinking alike if you need an ego boost, but the vast majority of you readers tend to have the exact same things to say on any given topic. Bottom line, if I host a debate, I'll only have two letters to print. Maybe a couple more if I'm lucky. So, looks like they'll have to stick to the boards and eds.

Ah, philosophy. Here's my take on it. In general, it is a MUCH more satisfying experience to play a game without any outside info. Strange comments for someone working at an RPG site granted, but I stand by them. In the vast majority of games, with a little dedication, you can find everything on your own, and that gives you a real sense of satisfaction. However, lately there's a really nasty trend of games having secrets you'll never find on your own. FF8 is the biggest example of this I can think of. You flat out will not get Doom Train on your own, amoung other things. If you want to play such a game, and care about getting absolutely everyting, then sure, use a walkthrough. However, if, like me, you can't stand that kind of money grubbing trickery, use a walkthrough off a website, like this one, rather than pay the company to tell you how to find the stuff they hid just to tell you where it is. Either that or buy less games and play through twice, once solo, once with a guide. You'd save a lot of money that way. 8)

Googleshng:
OH! What a terrible waste! 6 really good serious questions all wadded into one letter. If I really wanted I could have chopped this up and had a whole column. As far as LoM and PE2 go, I doubt it. Square's not big on the whole data from other games deal. Konami has that market cornered. 8) You can play any game on a Super GB that you can on the regular variety, period. They way they handle color is different though, so, if a game is GBC optimized, and you played it on an SGB, it wouldn't have the cool color features, but you could still pick which 4 colors you got. Zelda MM shouldn't come packaged with an expansion pack, since many people already have them by now. A third party one only costs $10 though, so dont sweat it. The game itself shouldn't run too high either. Lufia 3 is in limbo right now. As for WA2, I haven't played it yet. Still need to win the original. Not the same developer to my knowledge, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some spillover between teams. Don't flood Gin with corrections if I'm wrong... flood me and send him real questions. 8)

Googleshng:
This letter has no relevance towards anything, but it's fairly amusing, and I needed a breather after that multiplarter. 8) Anyway, now we know.

Googleshng:
Wow. That's actually some pretty darn good mecha design there. I'm impressed. Oh, and just for the record, you officially have WAY too much free time. 8)

Googleshng:
Point taken.

I am a werewolf in deep depression, so and really wouldn't mind being killed at the moment. . . I personally volounteer to bite Gin in the name of Science.

I was playing diablo 2 on the europe server and I saw a game called Come on Goog. Ring a bell?

How small is the Gamecube? Roughly the size of 9 CD jewel cases stacked on top of each other. That's beyond small.

Do you have any idea how F@#%ing hard it was to type this?! Stupid damn wolf...

Just to clarify the whole Mr.T issue, he's gone through chemo and as far as he knows, has beaten cancer. Mr.T should be around for quite some time, bringing all the joy and pity we loved him for in the 80s.

The release dates say CC is never coming out on PAL. True or false?
