Well, the fact that SSSC has predictions is not really that surprising. After all, it is the remake of TSS, and of course EB had already been released before SSSC was made. So, with the knowledge that EBC is on the horizen, Game Arts was safely making predictions it would confirm in the next game. N...

I find this happens to me in other areas, such as when I'm designing my knitting projects. It irritates me to no end to see a project like the one I just came up with in the next magazine I picked up, especially with the thought that people might think I'd gotten the idea from somewhere else or was...

I'm aware of the different environments. I was making the statement simply based on raw hardware sales, nothing else. And in raw hardware sales throughout the world, Cube and Box are practically tied...for 2nd place. Point. But it still means nothing in the sense that Nintendo makes games that are ...

Oh, I'm never worried about plagorism, Kiz. I stopped worrying about that when I was 17, heh. And stupid fans with criticism, well, they have never bothered me and my stories. Only once did I get an email trying to tear my plot apart, and my knowledge of the series far outmatched this person so I di...

You guys seem to be excluding the Japanese market. The gamecube is kicking the xbox's arse in Japan. Worldwide, the xbox only has a *slight* edge on the cube. It's in America that the xbox dominates the cube. No, I don't think we are, because the Japanese market is a completely different beast when...

Writer's Curse...your good idea someone thought of first

I don't generally suffer from normal writer's problems like a block, but I do repeatedly run into the situation of used ideas. Generally, I come up with a great idea, at least I think it is, but then BAM I see this same idea the next day or something on a show or in another book. Most recently I had...

I have all but one of the episodes of the English-dubbed Dragon Warrior anime still. I used to have all of them but I accidentally erased one of the episodes. >grabs a harpoon< The White Whale! Seriously...wow....I've been bugging people for years on leads to get this series with next to no results...

Just finished The Unseen Queen, Book 2 of the latest Star Wars series Dark Nest. Currently working up the strength and courage to crack open the lastest Jordan book, Knife of Dreams....because I am still pissed with how crappy the last book of the series was. The guy didn't move the story at all for...

(The PS1 was an awesome machine, but I really think a lot of the PS2's content has paled in comparison.) Well, let's think on that for a second. Almost every system from NES, to Genesis, SNES, and onward had their share of slush games that basically, well, blew monkey chunks. To say that the PS2 ti...

and the new Zelda when it comes out I must admit I am looking forward to the new Zelda. Once a Cube sells for $50, then I'll get one so I can play it. True, Nintendo is trying, but I just don't think they can really keep relying on their old big name characters (Zelda, Mario, Metroid), to always ba...

My anime introduction was way back in the day when I watched Voltron as a five year old (1985), so that holds a special place in my heart. I've seen a lot of things in the past twenty years, so I'll just comment on what's currently on my plate, in addtion to a couple of things I watch over and over ...

Hey... I thought you weren't going to set foot over here unless our battle board was going to take this place over.

All in all, I have to say that I hope any further incarnations of Lunar break from Nintendo. As I have observed over the years, Big N has not pandered to its older fans who grew up with NES and SNES. When Nin jumped to N64 and beyond, they started playing to younger crowds and abandoned the mature g...

I've been lurking lately, and if Lou can come out of hiding, then so can I. Granted, I generally live at the Shrine MB, but I've been trying to expand my forum activity lately, so I figured what better place than here, since I am technically one of the old fogies of the Lunar Internet community So, ...
