and Bullets McDeath one last time |
|
Googleshng - March 8 '02- 2:00 Eastern Standard Time
Fridays... happy magical days. I get to watch things on TV I actually
enjoy, and you get to read a guest host column!
Bullets McDeath: Well cadets, it's been a month of lessons for everyone's favorite
intergalactic badass, Bullets McDeath. What those lessons were, I have no
idea; I wasn't really paying that much attention. But alas, this will be my
last column here on RPGamer, and like most guest hosts I'm tempted to say
something sweet and polite, like "I'll really miss you guys." But, that's
not really true...I never actually talked to any of you people, I just
answered your questions, so any kind of emotional bond you may have formed
with me is your own problem. You should probably have your head checked, but
if you *really* can't resist the urge to chat me up, I can be reached at
bulletsmcdeath@spittingonyourgrave.com

Plot? What a funny word. Plot plot plot plot plot plot PLOT!

Hey Googleshng,
Just got a few questions that have been buging me.
1) How much time pasted between the world of balance and the world of ruin in ff6? I think it was 3 years but 5 keeps naging me from the back of my head.
|
|
Bullets McDeath:
1) It's been some time since I've played Final Fantasy 6, and my memory
isn't so hot since my brain patterns were transferred into a clone body
after my destruction on the Moon in 1997. It probably was no more than 5,
though.
Googleshng:
Serves ya right for disobeying the Computer. Anyway, I could have sworn it was just one year, but a little
double checking proved it was, in fact, 2. Been a while since I've played that game...
|
2) What part did Fei and Elly play in Xenogears? I keep remembering something about "types".
|
|
Bullets McDeath:
2) Types? Xenogears is another game with too much to remember that I haven't
played in a while, but if by types you mean the general anime castes
(Handsome Leader, Rebel, Brute, Geek, Beautiful Girl)...then Fei and Elly
were the Handsome Leader and Beautiful Girl, respectively.
Googleshng:
If you're looking for a list of every term that's used to refer to them, the lists go on WAY too long
for me to list here.
|
3) What order do the Zelda games go in?
|
|
Bullets McDeath:
3) The official opinion of the United States Government:
1. Ocarina of Time
2. Majora's Mask
3. Link to the Past
4. Legend of Zelda
5. Link's Adventure
6. Link's Awakening
7. Oracle of Ages/Seasons
But to be honest, the main three titles of the series (LoZ, LttP, and
OoT) are really just retellings, as far as I can reckon. Which is pretty
damn far, I'll add.
Googleshng:
I say when you have so many games officially in the same setting, and can't even keep one forest in the
same general area, chances are you aren't trying to keep any real continuity going in the series. If of
course by some chance you were asking when the games themselves actually came out, it's:
Original Zelda
Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link
Link to the Past
Link's Awakening
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
The Oracle games
|
4) Did anyone fully understand FFT story? That game had a whole lot of reading.
Hmm, I think thats it. I know I'm going to think of something else as soon as I send this. Oh well. Thanks
-Heretic-

Bullets McDeath:
4) The second time, yes, I did. I'll admit it's quite confusing...but it
makes alot more sense when you realize it's all just the backstory to the
international smash hit comedy "Dude, Where's My Car?"!!!!
Googleshng:
I wouldn't say FFT has a lot of reading involved, I'd say it has a lot of characters. Like, 60 of them,
and by the end all but about 2 or 3 are dead. Stopping to read everyone's biography periodically helps.

Me myself and... uh... that guy.

Dear Google,
Hoped you didn't get stalked at the convention. If somebody did, It wasn't me. Anyway enough Chit chat let's get down to business
1. Will there be a staff profile page?
|
|
Bullets McDeath:
1. Why do people ask me questions like this? I don't work here.
Googleshng:
Ah yes, an index for the staff biographies. Pretty high on RPGamer's official Why The Smurf Don't We
Have This Yet? List. It's coming soon I think.
|
2. Trying to prevent sarcasm from you, with what program did you make the banner below or did you hand draw it yourself?
|
|
Bullets McDeath:
2. What banner? I don't have any friggin' banners.
Googleshng:
The picture was drawn by Silkenray way back when, and the rest I made with Sucky Ol' Graphic Converter
version 1.1 or so.
|
3. Do you know Japanese or somebody wrote your name for you?
|
|
Bullets McDeath:
3. I know a little japanese. She's in the other room. ::rimshot::
Googleshng:
I don't know enough Japanese that I would go around saying "I know Japanese!" but I do know enough to
write my own name in katakana like that.
|
4. How much religion is involved in Xenogears? Is it a important role or the story could go on without it? I would like to know for an Editorial I'm writing.
|
|
Bullets McDeath:
4. It plays a fairly important role, in that it touches on religon as institution or government cover for atrocious acts and mass manipulation. You know, basically like the real world.
Googleshng:
Religeon doesn't play a very big role at all in Xenogears. It gives some context for one of the more
amusing characters, and the wonderful phrase "undead reapers called -Wels-" but that's about it. There's
vague Christianity references all over, but they really don't have any SIGNIFIGANCE to them.
|
5. I'm guessing Harle from Chrono Cross as the quote
Anyway, I wish you well on answering your letters
Hobbes Lionheart
"You should see me lose in real life"
|
|
Bullets McDeath:
5. Right or wrong, you're not getting a tilde from me, hippie.
Googleshng:
I haven't quoted Harle in any context since Chrono Cross was current...
