Googleshng - October 11 '01- 2:00 Eastern Standard Time
As I am prone to do when I notice it's possible, I converted the date
from a binary number to title today's column. 101101. It's also a palandrome. I could probably go on
about the date for quite a while longer, but I fear I may lapse into unconciousness any second now, so
I'd better just get on with the letters.

Things that come in 3s
|
Hey Google,
I know you've been asked this a million times, but do you cast Chrono
Cross first then the sequence or the sequence then Chrono Cross? What is the
sequence anyway?
What do you think there going to do with Chrono 3? They traveled time
and dimensions so far, and what's left? Bill and Ted couldn't overcome that,
and Wyld Stallions rule.
Final Fantasy X will be sweet I'm sure, but Suikoden 3 is what's getting
the blood pumping. The only thing I'm worried about is if they follow the
Pokemon/Suikoden three year later sequal rule is that Viktor and Flik will be
getting up there. I'd hate to see the Blue Lightning become the Blue Blob.
I thought of another RPG norm. The villain walking threw fire which
Sephroth, Kuja, and Ramiez added to the long list.

Googleshng:
There's plenty of ground a third Chrono game could cover. It could REALLY have travel between universes,
not just do, or it could do that and time travel at the same time. Now, as far as the whole "good ending"
sequence, well, it's repeated several times during the game, I believe the last boss even casts them all
for you if you just sit around, and you use Chrono Cross last.

Hi Googleshng:
Iocane powder, eh? Nothing like a reference from The Princess Bride; that was a great movie.
1. At what point will you buy a PS2? You've said you're waiting for a price drop but how much of one are you waiting for? And does it depend one when the some game you must-play comes out on PS2? (maybe Xenosaga, maybe something else before that)
|
|
Googleshng:
Well, I WAS planning to pick one as soon as the price came down a bit, but situations have this annoying
tendancy to change, particularly the financial variety, and now I have no clue when I'll end up shilling
out the dough. Price drops and game releases will both have an effect though I'm sure.
|
2. Do you think Lunar: SSSC is very good to replay? I beat it by renting it a few times when it came to PSX a couple of summers ago. Now, I've seen it for sale second-hand and I'm tempted to buy it. I was interested in the PC version but that is either not-happening soon or just not-happening.
|
|
Googleshng:
Being in the position I am, replaying games is not an option I can ever really pursue. If it was though,
Lunar would probably get another run through from me. It's a game worth owningif nothing else.
|
3. Is Lufia: TLR very difficult? Does it become a problem if you avoid enemy encounters and rarely have enough money to buy all the best gear or would you say level-building and "saving up" required from time to time?

Googleshng:
Particularly considering you can get the best weapon in the game in about 15 minutes, Lufia: TLR doesn't
offer forth very much challenge, even if you get sloppy and start rushing through every dungeon.

Guessery

The current quote is from Breath of Fire, early in the
game in one of two twin towns (names forgotten), one
populated by humans, the other by fox-like people.
The chief is in the human town. Any master of martial
arts would know that!

PS: I've already got a tilde, what else can you give me?
|
|
Googleshng:
Another tilde for the other side. ~ Plus three of those mysterious points mentioned yesterday.

Ahem!

Well that's weird. I haven't checked rpgamer in two years and I swear I'm still seeing the name "Googleshng". Am I seeing things, or are you some different incarnation of the Google I once saw two years ago?

Googleshng:
I'm not comfortable with your premise that I'm either a halucination or a reincarnation of myself. The
former would indicate I don't really exist, which would make it hard for me to get a ride to the movies,
and the second quite frankly just seems like an AWFUL lot of effort to go through just to get back where
you started. In any case, I've been doing doing this column for just a month short of two years now.
That's honestly pretty darn impressive when you consider the fact that this column has only existed
for about 3 and a half years, and it REALLY seems impressive when you consider how many people did it
before me and burnt out. Actually, to look at that another way, if you don't count weekends, I'm personally
responsable for more columns than everyone else put together. Of course, the only reason not to count
weekends is that it makes the math easier. At a guess, I think I've only written 1/3 of every column.
