What if we all lived in Ohio? - November 7th, 1999 - Andrew Kaufmann
Disclaimer: The opinions expressed within this column are those of the participants and the moderator, and do not neccessarily reflect those of the GIA. Dirk is a cool name. There is coarse language and potentially offensive material afoot. Don't say we didn't warn you. A lot of you have been asking about the Chrono Trigger movies, saying you can't play them and stuff. Well, they've been recompressed in a less CPU-intensive format, and our movies guru Brian Glick says everything should be fine now, as long as you have Quicktime 3. So there you have it. Whatever it may be. Oh yeah, you can find them at the same place as before. So now you really have it. On another note, I was scolded for saying we won't be celebrating GIA's birthday. There's some over the exact date, but we will probably do something. Who knows what, discrepancythough.
An RPG entirely in one person's mind... funky. If I'll be paid well, I'll volunteer my mind. But I want to be paid well. I have some pretty cool stuff in there (alongside the more obscure stuff). As far as colors go, I like bright ones. Especially red. Red is neat. My car is red.
I've often wondered what La Bamba's speaking voice is... all I ever hear him say is "In the year 20001," in that majestic high pitched wail of his. Or maybe that IS his speaking voice? Scary thought, that is.
I remember playing Actraiser, on a rental, a long time ago. I agree, it was fun. I've asked around, though, and no one can think of any game that's similar to it. If any of you readers out there have any recommendations for games similar to it, email Drew.
Interesting thought. Unfortunately, Gilgamesh is still the man, in my book. I disagree with Drew's naming of Zell as the vice-MAN, though. I don't think Zell is ready for that kind of status. I would choose Mike Mills, R.E.M. bassist, as vice-MAN, personally. That's a pretty obscure reference for gamers though... so I might also vote for Locke. I found him to be a really entertaining character in FF6. He made me laugh, he made me cry. What an animal.
At first, I nodded in agreement with this letter, thinking to myself, "Hey, maybe Drew DOES deserve praise for keeping his sanity." Then I remembered that he lost his sanity about 7 years ago in a blimp accident.
Since everyone is unique, abnormal sleeping patterns affect different people in different ways. Some people wouldn't be affected by it, but others find their productivity levels decrease and their mental facilities suffer. Caffeine can be helpful, but I avoided recommending it since it can be harmful (though probably not). Remember, one's health is a serious issue! I like the part about playing a lot of RPGs, though. Closing Comments Drew likes to be given a topic, so here's one to try to chew on. Live action RPGs, like, you dress up and go out with swords and stuff.. cool deal or not? I'm not into that, but a lot of people are. What do you think? Tell Drew. He'd like to know. Really, he would. -Andrew Kaufmann |
