OK... RPG Maker 2000 is the PC version of a PSX RPG making utility. It's pretty limited, but it's also simple. Your second question is worded too confusingly to answer... I believe there's 44 characters, takes 3 passes to get'em all. CC and Xenogears aren't dirrectly comparable, so, pass. Times: CT: 5 years, or do you mean until I FIRST won? Xenogears: 80 hours. CC: 30 hours. Your fourth question though is just a fun kind to answer. Want the ENTIRE staff? Here's everyone I can think of a good one for. Let's see... Mikel Tidwell (da boss)=Ozzie. Don't ask me why, he just does. Dan Calderman (Head of NM)=Frog. Again, you'd have to know him to get why. Chronodin would be Chrono obviously. Rob Hamilton a Nu by his own request. Paws obviously a cat. Gin: Tata (look at his sig pic!). Scar a reptite. Silkenray Lucca (hyperactivity). Alanna Ayla (likes to hug). I would be Flea (ambiguous gender), and nobody else really junbs out at me... except that Doug Hill (news head forever) and Martin Drury (scary old hermit who reads stuff sent to webmaster) should be generic old geezers. Oh, and nobody gets Magus, because, well, none of us are that cool. 8)

You know, there are places where you can buy NES games NEW still, so the "not hurting anyone" angle doesn't really fly. Here's my basic take on the matter. Emulating a recent game is just pure evil. Emulating a really old game is a tad evil, and it's more fun for me at least to actually hunt them down. Emulating untranslated (old) games is not really morally wrong, since the publisher won't sell you the game, it's not like you can give them money for it anyway. It is however still illegal, just not immoral, and therefore I don't emulate anything at all myself. 8)

I remember someone pointing out that Chronodin uses a hammer in those little comics I do or in those CG pics by Guif (cool stuff by the way Guif.) But Chronodin uses a scythe! I use a hammmer! And for clarification, Chronodin wears the big hat with the clock on it and I have the funky hair. Now I gotta get a Gin comic up...oh geez, my space exploration notes were 6 pages long on the first day *gak* need weekend!

Quit dropping these ´s will you? Am I the only one who finds it odd that people who make odd little end of column things are now having conversations through me?

Googleshng:
I believe you have some wires crossed there. CT is a pretty darn generic game. The mechanics are just like everything else around at the time except for the combo thing. The plot's spiffy, but that applies to all Square games. Plus it game out after all the weird 16-bitters. Chrono Cross on the other hand has no EXP, MP, or inititive meters. Hard to get more innovative than that! As for your last comment... keep playing. CC ties into CT BIGTIME towards the end. Oh, and since RD is the game CC is based off, that'd just be confusing.

Googleshng:
This is what that person yesterday really wanted to know too. Here's the big secret for you. In Japan, everyone has the same hair color. In manga, everyone has the same hair color (since manga=black and white). However, when you have an animated series, you have to put up with animators who can't capture the original artist's style well enough to REALLY show the differences in characters, so a convention evolved around using funky hair colors to make characters easier to tell apart... plus it looks cool. RPGs just copy anime in that respect. Oh, and by the way, that also means that funky hair colors in most anime are just there for the audience's benefit and not meant to be the character's actual hair color (usually at least). So, for example, Ranma's hair doesn't change color in warm or icy water as far as Ryoga's concerned. It's always black. They just color it red to scream at the viewers "GIRL".

Googleshng:
Uh... FF3's job system is kind of like FF5's except without being able to gain abilites from that job over time, combining aspects of two different jobs, or having any real reason to stick with jobs at all I suppose. While it's better than FF1, that doesn't give me the same kind of happy feeling FF5's does. As for your comment about the second hugest CC spoiler, I liked that whole part of the game... but know people who hated it.

Would *you* laugh at me if I ran from battles in Chrono Cross?

Those were some big quickies. By the way, Birdhouse In Your Soul, great song :)

You know, it's a good thing Gungnir can't miss, because my depth perception really went down the crapper when i went to that well. God, the things i do for wisdom...

Bartz from FF5, Angela from Seiken Denetsu 3 (though she's only one of the main characters), Red of SaGa Frontier (though Blue doesn't ... huh?) and Umi of Magic Knight Rayearth also all have blue hair.

Thanks to all the videogames and anime I enjoy, I'm turning Japanese. I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so!

i thought women can't be color blind.... i could be wrong though.

It's my birthday but I'm probly too late for quickies. I spent 2 hours in the first dungeon of Valkyrie Profile. I suck.
