Heyas guys. Welcome to a *very* short column, and I mean short. I understand that Dub vs. Sub in video game FMV's is a hot topic, but to avoid another animŽ fiasco I've decided not to carry on the discussion. However Googleshng has an e-mail address.. *hint, hint*

I'd also like to announce that tomorrow is All-Quickie Day. Tomorrow's update will consist of nothing but Quickie letters. Be sure to send the insane, the stupid, and hopefully a few intelligent letters. o.o I say hopefully, because I'm not asking for a miracle...

On to *short* Q & A mayhem!

Invisible Girl:
I'm invisible! Can you see me? :D

-Kev
*THWACK*
Pervert!!! Watch where you put those Thousand Arms!!

Veronica:
^_^ Who knows... maybe there are actually some *battles* in the game. (Pah!) You might have to look hard, though.

I initially was very excited about Thousand Arms because of the heavy animŽ influence and above average voice acting I saw in the first 5 minutes. However, that wasn't enough to make up for the silly way the game portrays girls. Yes, I know it is not meant to be taken seriously, and I admit that some of the hokey lines made me laugh, but the attitude gets old *very* quickly. As for the dating... well... I seriously hope that not all guys act like the way the main character does on a date. *shudder*

Veronica:
Uuuhm..... O.O

Hey, I am stuck on disc four of Final Fantasy 8 for one simple little reason... I can't find the "hidden" door that leads to where you can get the Ragnarok! This is really frustrating. I read the FAQ by Scott Ong and all it says is "the door is to the right of the chain," but I've been all the way up and down the right side of that chain pressing the O button (my confirm button) and I haven't found anything. I know I'm not looking in the right place, but I'm stuck. Can you help me out? Thanks.

-Ben

Veronica:
From what I know (that means research. I'm not this far into the game) there is no door to the "right" of the chain. (That's the cancel button, anyway.) To the left of the chain outside of the castle there are three portal that will take you to different parts of the world. The one at the lowest part of the screen takes you to Galbadia, around the destroyed missle base. The middle portal takes you to the Serengetti Plains, around the Centra Ruins. The highest portal takes you Esthar around the area of the Grandidi Forest. I'd reccomend going through the middle portal... but you'll have to figure out why on your own. :)

If you're still having trouble leaping onto the ledge with the portals, just keep trying. Not being able to find certain jump locations happened to me while I was climbing up to save Rinoa at the end of disc one.

Veronica:
...just what do you think about when you think of Edea, you Maca-Monkey?!

Wait Mr. Gates! No one has shown you the raw beauty of the akill!
