If the earth explodes, then we won't have global warming! So lets do it!

*Goes on Amazon.com, not my usual UK site*

I don't understand. These merchants are from the USA. Caiman are reliable in my experience as I buy a lot of imports from America off them.

First of all, respect to you my friend for liking Joy Zipper! I've been into them since around 1999 and Tabitha is real sweet, based on the few messages I've shared with her on myspace!

Second of all, aint Joy Zipper American?

Third of all, the whole album it's from is great! Also check out their self titled one for some laid back chilled stuff! (Although admittedly not as well made, as they have become better at playing their guitars since then, but the synths are so cool!)

Finally, maybe I'm too late, and my advice is probably useless if you don't have the right equipment... but incase it helps others... (And no, I don't condone this sort of stuff, and only do it for the rare stuff I can't get, and I totally understand your reasonings)

Ahem yes! I have a seperate CD recorder that I used before I had a PC. I merely have a jack - phono lead adaptor plugged into the sound out jack socket on my pc soundcard, and hook the other end to the back of my cd recorder. But I doubt many people have a seperate CD recording device!

In that case, I'll clarify what I meant with morrowind.

You spend an absolute age just hitting little bugs on the ground which isn't very interesting at all. It takes ages to get to another village or place of interest.. but persisted I did, and my character gained experience and could fight bigger things and had increased his running speed. (Especially when I got these blinding boots of speed and combined them with an item that blocked the blind spell)

The game grew on me, and I became addicted, exploring every nook and cranny, and doing the shedloads of quests, and got past the games awful graphics. (Xbox version)
Well, it looked nice in -some- places. Like the water.


Ah yes, my mistake, dragon quest is turn based.. sorry I forgot it said that where I read about the game. I'm still going to buy it however..

Bits studio made Rogue Ops.

Based on the demo I played of it, the game is a crime against humanity.

Die hard vendetta and Constantine are also a bit shall we say.. shit?

So therefore you should feel insulted, as your game is better than all three put together.

I don't want to.

Although it was short and limited, I do remember enjoying the game Shadow of memories, where you'd get killed, go back in time and try to stop it from happening.

I knew you were going to say that.

Dizzy treasure Island? Me and my brother couldn't get off the very start of the game. (Until about a year later, and then we/I got stuck again/died. Memory foggy.)

That's what caused me to not play any other normal dizzy games.

Actually, I've been playing xenosaga 2 recently. It is like watching a film with bits of interaction inbetween. Still, I stuck with it, and found the game open itself up and then I had lots of fun going around a few towns doing sidequests. It's this part in RPGs that i find mega addictive.

There are some great RPGs coming out this year:

Dragon Quest (Latest one)
Rogue galaxy (By Level 5, who did the sublime dark chronicle)
Kingdom hearts 2
FF12

All of these games appear to have ditched the turn based fighting in favour of real time battles. YAHOO!!

And I'm highly excited about Oblivion! The previous game in the elder scrolls series, morrowind, was long, dull and too big for its own good. But once you play it enough, you get hooked and I must have spent 200+ hours playing that game!

Maybe the vulcans were spying on the flying man through the window. Or maybe it's a romulan in DISGUISE!

I love this classic joke.

Well.. the events have to happen a FIRST time, right? Maybe this is the first time the events have occured...

Do you agree that if time travel were at all possible, that only travelling into the past would be possible, and not the future? The future has not happened yet, and as far as I know my older self has not come into my timeline to have a cup of tea with me.

by "done", do you mean time travel itself, or a thread about time travel?

japanese-styled rpgs..

Dammit I was going to mention Star Wars KOTOR....

Heh apparently in Suikoden 4 when you are stuck on a desert island it asks you if you want to make a ship to leave or live there. If you say "Lets live here" about FIVE times your crewmates give up and you are then stuck on the desert island forever.


And as for:

"saving the world stuff and a storyline that goes from A to B like a train on rails."

Sounds like a lot of adventure games. 

Ha I don't connect with Cloud at all! Although he reminds me of a friend of mine...

I connect more so with the lead character from FF9 actually.

For me FF7's story felt so great because it was the first RPG I'd played, hence to have such a massive game with a story in it that slowly progressed as I went along was great! I wonder if this applies to many others? It's like seeing an action flick for the first time. It's so fresh and all the cliches wouldn't be known. (I'd imagine)

Grand theft auto 3 had a silent character. I didn't like it. Rather than trying to give him the impression of no character, it did. When a certain bad ass shouts at him, he doesn't have any lines or action, therefore it gives the impression that he's a coward with no backspine who just lets people have a go at him.

I don't know if this was the same reason as for why rockstar gave the following characters in the sequels character, it may have just been from feedback given.

Also, those RPGs like Alundra where the main char doesn't have any lines really gets on my nerves.

Fruity loops! Yeah I'm using that but for non-game music.

*Plays project twin* (The second one)

I like it! Well suited to an RPG/Adventure sci-fi infact. I don't like how the electric xylophone sounding instrument at the beginning instantly changes into the next section of the song. And maybe that bit in the game should last longer.

*Plays Navareoiza* (Or whatever)

I dig those deeper synths! Again, you've captured that videogame style. What method did you employ to create the synths? Was it the 3X osc? TS404?
I'm just curious as to whether your method is the same as mine.
