Come to Ohio. A few years ago it was ruled it is not illegal for a woman to go toples if she so desires. I never have seen anyone choosing to do so, but aparently you can if you want to.
While those sites me be out there, My wife was getting problems with elevated blood suger levels and her vision was bluring while ingesting 3 cans of diet soda per day. We ditched the nutrasweet and her vision cleared up and her blood sugers went down from over 200 constant to the more normal 110-140 range. I just think the stuff tastes nasty.
The funny thing is that Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior over here) was spawned from Dungeons and Dragons players in Japan. anyone who thinks RPG games over there were not influenced by D&D hasnt looked closely. Most things get a bit of a cultural twist, or borrow from the mythology/religion of the area.
The FMV "problem" really isnt a FF specific problem, square jsut makes with the pretty. FF1-6 never had a lick of FMV, and only a few small non user controlled cutscenes. FF7 gave us some pretty cutscenes that IMO were well used to creat an atmosphere or tell a part of the story that the ingame engine couldnt do justic to (a few years later we have square amking a game with no FMV and all ingame cutscenes). With FF8 we had a little bit more FMV, and the same escalation happened with 9. IMO in 9 the non cutscene stuff still completely dwarfes any cutscenes, and they still only filled in the impostant events. FFX I think is the culpret for this complaint about all FF games being movies with more cutscene then gameplay. Metal Gear Solid 2 also caused this backlash.
I think FMV can have a place but they need to beware of overuse.

Try Star Ocean II or Legaia II: Dual Saga for bread making. I am sure there are a few other games that have cooking in them, but i cant think of any off the top og my head. Maybe one of the Harvest Moon games.

I thought shrink wrap licensing got show down back in the late 80's?

Great little box that can take any signal, digital or analog.

This is +5 material at least. LOLROF god I needed a good laugh today.
I get most of those, but please explain the dangers of exterme buddism, extreme Taoism, or exterme Shintoism?
You need to move to Arizona and that area for scorpions.
So that would cover the Major Arcana in a Tarot Deck right?
Who is the Hanged Man and who is the Fool. We know the Tower is SCO HQ.
KArma dont matter much. The more you Meta-Mod the more often you get to Mod. /. experiance.
YMMV this is only based on my

"Nineteen Eighty-Four, Bomb Making For Fun and Profit, and the Dan Quail Autobiography"
So thats the answer to the question posed at the end of the "Time Machine" (the old film not the remake).
I like Unexploded Cow better, solves the Mad cow problem and the left over WWII munitions problem in one explosion.
In Columbus, Ohio they seem to have started blocking all ports used by comon net services, 23, 25, 21, ect.

Woah, I thought sleazynews was hot with a month of retention. Who has 3-6 months of usenet?

NWN short? It's only as short as your imagination... Or are you talking about the near useless module included in the box, do people even play that?

You end up pausing it enough it might as well be turn based.
A number of FF games had differing endings, not sure that all of them do.
Some key events in the games for example determine the endings.
Chrono Trigger is the most obvious Squaresoft game that you can see different endings based on a bajillion things inthe game.

Ahh, but if they offered up patches with source, I think that it would go a way towards gaining some trust from users.
sometimes I find the good songs ont he album are not the ones that get radio play.
The orchestral arrangment cds for FFVI were quite good, actually I think FFVI had the monst music cds released for it.
