Googleshng - January 18 '99- 1:30 Eastern Standard Time
Earlier tonight I conquered one of my personal
demons. I won Phantasy Star 4. It'sone of my all time favorite games, but
I never had enough access to it to win until now (not owning a Genesis at
the time and all). Anyway, that put me in a mood so good not even these
Christianity letters can bring me down! As for the issue of Christianity in
games, I'm not going to talk about it anymore. Religious debates are a bad
thing to get into.

Oh yeah, THAT.

Hey google.
Have you ever seen the Final Fantasy anime? If so, how was it? If it's
no good, I dont want to waste my hard earned cash on it. Umm... I think
that's all..................................................
................................... oh yeah! Have you ever seen an old
animated movie called "Wizards"? It doesn't have anything to do with rpg's
or anything, but I think it's cool, and if you haven't seen it, you should!

Googleshng: "Very bad. Not good. Go around." That is
both prove that I have seen Wizards, and my opinion of both it and
the FF anime. Honestly, the FF anime is not what you'd expect. Comes
off a bit generic, and it doesn't have a Square kind of plot (but
Escaflowne does!). I'd save my money if I were you.

Why don't you ever print negative criticisms? I'm sure you get them; I send you
plenty of them..

Googleshng: Well, I have no problem with printing letters
saying that I suck, but, well, I never get any that are print worthy!
I mean, "u suck ur gae" or "WHY THE SMURF DON'T YOU EVER PRINT MY
LETTERS YOU SMURF SMURFIN' SMURFER!" aren't really within the realms
of good taste. Besides, they aren't about RPGs. For the record, I
can recall at least one time that I printed a letter insulting me.

Hi, Google!
Guess what? I understand Xenogears, the whole thing! How Fei and Elly
arrived on the Eldridge and how Miang came to be and the parts of Deus and
the M-Project and all of Feis lives and nanomachines and Krelian's troubles
and it all! :)
Oh, and my friend was really disappointed that Brad didn't post his name at
the bottom of the story on Sunday. Could you please add in that Squall Fong
Wong and me, Xenochick, wrote Soylent Eggs and Ham? He was kind of let down
(figures Brad would do that!). Thanks!

Googleshng: No problem, today I mostly got religion
and Xeno stuff anyway. Funny little spoof there.

Yikes! Long one... ah, snip-snip, there.

However, here's something interesting to consider. Take me and my friend.
My friend purchased his Playstation at release. I purchased mine several
years later, at the Dual Shock Release. My Playstation is in perfect working
condition. His can barely (if at all) run any game. Why? Because, as most
of us know, the original PSX was plagued with problems. Mainly, overheating
problems. Just by leaving it plugged in regularly, it would eventually fry
the PSX. My Dual Shock PSX, however, was like revision eight of the system
itself. Looking back now I was always glad that I waited to purchase my PSX.
Not only did I get a better system, I also go a considerably better price
(half the price of the original), but I also entered the PSX market with a
very large game library to choose from.
Now getting back to my point, what if the PS2 is plagued by problems, just
like the PSX was at its release? I don't want to shell out $300+ dollars for
something that's going to fail on me in a couple of years. Do you understand
where I'm going with this? Was the PSX plagued with such considerable
problems simply because it was Sony's first venture into the videogaming
world? Will they produce a quality, problem-free system first try this time?
What do you think?
Also, one may ask themselves if the mark of a true gamer is one who has the la
test and greatest system and software before anyone else, or the one who
waits and has learned from their countless years observing the events within
the gaming industry?
Looking forward to a response,
Danimal

Googleshng: This has been concerning me too. I'm one
of the lucky few with no PSX problems, but I think we all know someone
who has had some break on them. Heck, a friend of mine is on his
5th! Now I know you're all probably thinking that nothing lasts forever
and all that, but I have almost every system ever released and they
last a whole lot longer than the PSX. I'd say at LEAST ten years
should be expected from a well made system under good conditions.
As for whether the PSX2 will be plagued by this same lack of depend
ability, well, nobody can answer that now. We'll just have to wait
and see. I just hope those 8 meg memory cards are REALLY resistant
to self-erasure. 8)
Oh, and as for your little secondary question, it's a totally unrelated
issue. If you're rich, buy every system and every remotely decent
game, if you're poor, wait for price drops.

Van-Sama!
|
I'd like to ask what Van-Sama actually means... I laughed to this word
too... but not because It's meaning (english or japanese.. whatever)... If
you add "Ai" to the start you get words: "Aivan sama!" Which is finnish and
means "It's all the same!"... So..This is the point where you can learn some
finnish and be proud of yourself!
and the other thingie.... Is there going to be Xenogears platinium
version.... ( I didn't get the orginal... )
Teenager from the land of Santa.... WEBZIZ
|
Googleshng: Hehehe. I'll at that to my list. Anyway,
Van-Sama is what the... "cat" of the main character in Escaflowne
(that being Van) says whenever she sees him. Sama being the ending
you stick on someone's name if they're a king/queen/lord/etc. Anyway,
it's said so often that it basically turns into a running gag.

To defeat hammer before he blows up , the most important thing is having at
least 2 , preferably all 3 of your people at attack level infinity (This also
means everyone must be high enough level to do so , which I can't remember if
it is a problem or not at that point). System Id makes this easier for Fei ,
but for everyone else , don't use any deathblows at level 3 , just normal
attacks , to increase your chances of going into infinity. Even then , he
occasionally gets ready to go boom when everyone is at low attack levels , so
it can still take a couple tries if you get unlucky. Also , I believe using
fast party members (This means no Rico or Seibzien) helps your turns come up
faster , ergo more chances to go to infinity.

Googleshng: Several people wrote in on the issue so
I just printed one at random. Anyway, if you're having a hard time
with it, that strategy should work, as would several others that I
won't print so don't bother sending them in. 8)
