From the Editor's Desk

Totally off topic from any of the editorials... Why the all Blue Dragon hate? It's fun. I recommend it. I will even review it when I finish. That's been eating up most of my time this past week, though I did get a chance to try out Growlanser: Heritage of War. We should have a review up for that soon, so make sure to look for it. I got Phantom Hourglass and it's sitting and staring at me. It's just begging me to play it, but alas, I can't yet. Well, I could, but I'm determined to finish Jeanne d'Arc first. I'm so close, yet so far away. Well, that's enough about me, let's talk editorials.

We have discussion on random encounters. That's always a fun topic with many varying opinions. There is also discussion about video game soundtracks. This isn't JuMeSyn sharing his greatest hits this time, but Shawn talking about video game OSTs getting the respect they deserve. JuMeSyn does join us today as well, and we get a look inside his head. I'll have to say that it explains a lot for me. I close us out on this column with a little problem I have when purchasing RPGs. I wonder if any of you have similar stories?

Everyone's been doing a great job of keeping editorials flowing in, so keep up the good work. I'm always excited to see a new editorial in the inbox. Click here to send me a ray of sunshine for my day. Catch you next week.
