RPGstradamus Michael Cunningham

Editorial Excerpt:

"In looking at North American publisher's patterns, you can often predict what they are going to release over here in North America. It's a simple process of seeing what they've brought in the past, who developed the game, and when it was released in Japan. I don't claim to be 100% accurate in this, but it's simple enough to take a stab, so here I go."

What's in a FAQ? Mike Moehnke

Editorial Excerpt:

"The site known as GameFAQs performs a certain function (aside from spawning hordes of incoherent forum users). Sifting through the silly polls and mostly unimpressive reviews reveals that the FAQ part of its name is, in fact, present for a reason. Frequently Asked Questions is an acronym that does not quite encompass everything to be found on GameFAQs, because the Frequent part of that acronym is often ignored."


From the Editor's Desk

Another week has come and gone, and I don't have much to discuss. Neko Case was an amazing concert, and there is nothing better then hearing a woman say, "My pants are falling down, and perhaps I should consider wearing a unitard." She played all my favourite songs, and back to back even! Hopefully, she'll tour again in the near future. She was a lot fun. This week, however, I'm going to be seeing Jonathan Coulton as a means of de-stressing.

I finally bought a PSP! Be proud of me! I also ended up getting Yggdra Union and Star Ocean: First Departure. I can't wait until school is over, because as soon as I am done, I'm picking up every game I started and haven't finished, and I'm going on a binge. You're going to see that "2009 Completed List" on the forum blossom with my name on it... and I will finally finish Rune Factory 2. But yes, Yggdra Union is amazing and I'm having a blast with it, even though I'm still dealing with tutorials even after four hours of play.

I need to send out my thanks to JuMeSyn and Macstorm for bailing me out this week. Both of them stepped up to the plate to give me a break this week thanks to my massive pile of papers that still need to be written. JuMeSyn looks at FAQs in depth and chimes in on some of my pet peeves related to FAQs and FAQ writers, while Macstorm attempts to predict the RPG future! Fun times will be had by all! Discuss! ...OR ELSE.

I seriously just want school to be over with. Three more weeks and it is all over. Just let me graduate already!
