The Oracle, Brad Lohr - November '99- 02:00 PST
Bon journo, everybody! It's learning to speaka ital--.. wait. Wrong show. Sorry.
It's the Brad and Googleshng show.. and on that note, let me introduce my partner in crime, at least for the evening... (here, penguin, penguin!)
Googleshng: Hello. I'm crackpot Googleshng. You may remember me from such weirdness as my page, #RPGamer,
and various weird pictures in this here column. You know, Master Roshi in a
bunny suit? That Freud picture a couple days ago? Fine, I'm "the slime guy".
Get long term memories. 8)
Brad: Yes.. he was the one who put together the Jedi Borg pic, the Pink Freud, and of course, Master Roshi. Basically I contracted him out
to do these weird pictures and bribed him with a spot on the column. That, and I think he's crazy in a great way. Anyhow, I think today needs no
further comment.. I'm laughing just thinking about it.

Goog's crazy whacky weirdness.. part 1
|
|
Brad
Am I crazy, or is Suikoden 2 a great game? I hate to say it, but I'm
enjoying it more than Final Fantasy 8. What's wrong with me?
-Dyne-
|
|
Goog:
Yes. You're crazy. Thouroughly so. Anyone who prefers a non-Square game to
a Square one needs some serious deprogramming. Actually I haven't played
Suikoden 2. Not only am I broke, but I honestly didn't really like the
original that much.
Brad:
I'll go with 'no' on the crazy issue. I loved Suikoden 2. I'm definitely going back through the game to get more of those
damned stars as soon as I have a little free time.

I'm confused, Brad says my name is Steve, but you say that I'm a
Japanese Schoolgirl. Now, I know that I can't be named Steve and be a
Japanese Schoolgirl at the same time, so which is it?

Goog:
You ARE confused. It's perfectly reasonable to be a Japanese Schoolgirl
named Steve. In fact, I come across something like 50 Japanese Schoolgirls
named Steve a day. Better hurry to class Steve or you'll wind up standing
in the hall with a bucket of water all morning!
Brad:
I'll second that. I have pictures of a Japanese schoolgirl named Steve around here somewhere.. Oh. Wait. No, this one's named
Edge. :P

Grandia Questions.. 'answered'.
|

"Steven P. Ostrowski" wrote:
Okay here are a few questions I would like you to answer:
1. In Dom Ruins how do you get the bag with the orcs behind the cages?
Goog:
1. You have to go to the last town you were at and talk to everyone 5 times
in a row. Then you get the maid costumes. Equip those, they're armor. With
those you should be able to just sneak in and take it.
Brad: .... I haven't played Grandia yet :(
2.What does the Trust item do?
Goog:
2. You use it when you're fighting the head guy. It makes him just you
completely, so then you just tell him to commit sepuku. If you think that's
bad, you should see the saw in Saga 2 (FFL2)
Brad: .. (see above) ..
3.Have you played Grandia?
Goog:
3. Well, no. Maybe you should have asked that first eh? 8)
Brad: .. (see above) .. (snicker at Goog's response) ..
4.IF so do you like it?
Goog:
4. Well, like I said, I haven't played it. I don't know a single thing
about it except that it's made by the same people as Lunar. I've been
trying to get people to tell me about it, but they won't give me a single
specific detail.
Brad: I've heard great things about it. It will be the next game I play, I hope.. I just haven't had time recently..
Well thats it Thanks!
-Spin!-

You're not my daddy's bovine!

Seeing how it's only about 6 hours long, if they keep releasing new
screen shots of Vagrant Story, we'll be able to put them all into one
big animated .gif and watch the entire game! AHAHAHHAAA!

Goog:
Hey, don't forget that games are interactive entertainment! If you just
watch the whole game you don't get the gameplay, just the plot! Oh wait,
this is by Squaresoft. Fine, you're right, just put it on a fast server, my
modem's only 56k.

How can there be a 4 player action rpg for the psx2 if
it only has 2 controller ports. :o
|
|
Goog:
Well, you'd think they would just make a multitap sort of thing, but
that's not it. You see, 2 people control the first 2 characters, and
then to control the others, you hit select and then give the controller
to someone else real fast. On that subject, the PSX2 only has 2
controller ports! Let's all point at it and laugh! Haha! Stupid
overpriced unoriginal hardware.
Er, I mean, probably a multitap kind of thing... or a modem like with
Phantasy Star Online.
Brad:
If I haven't seen a 4 controller converter for every system I can remember since the SNES, well, then, it's probably 1:30am, and
I'm sleep dep--.. okay, bad analogy.

Serious Answer from Google.. really!

I made Terra go peepee in FFVI. Its so funny. Just go to the bathroom in the
jail cells in vector. You can go PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Hayabusa
|
|
Goog:
Yup. You can. You can also make Ogres dance in WarCraft 2! Just have the first
one patrol a distance of about 4 spaces, and have the
other one follow it. They even spin eachother around! The scary part is, this is
the only thing I've answered seriously.
