I can't comment too specifically since I haven't played the Sega CD version (on account of never having owned a Sega CD). For what it's worth, while I consider much criticism of WD in general to be overblown, I do tend to agree with the criticism of their use of real world references. While I don't ...

Thanks for the scans, G1. Looks like I'd forgotten that Shadow was in the demo as well. I did have this nagging sense that I'd forgotten a character. I remember my anticipation for an N64 Final Fantasy game, and my later shock when the news broke that Square was jumping ship to the PlayStation. It's...

Yeah, I remember when those screens came out and they were touted as being from "Square's new Final Fantasy game for the Ultra 64." One thing I didn't realize back when I first saw them was that they used characters from Final Fantasy VI (aka FFIII) (I recall both Locke and Celes being used, I can't...

I dunno, my brother keeps IMing me about some redone version of FFVII being made, I keep telling him it's a FPS with Vincent but he says otherwise. He may have seen something about the PS3 Final Fantasy VII tech demo. It has led to some confusion among people, with many thinking that this is footag...

I played the Dragon Quest VIII demo and came away with mixed feelings about the game. On the one hand, I really liked the way the developers handled the world map. Because it was done to scale and was largely open ended (i.e. it did not constrain the player to a largely linear path) the sense of exp...

My understanding is that the high price of the American Lunar 2 strategy guide has to do with its rarity. I seem recall Zach Meston (the author) once stating that only a few thousand were ever made. The issue was that the guide came out so late (well after the release of the game) that retailers did...

Well, I'll be graduating at the end of this semester, but I can't say much about the whole issue of getting a job because I've decided to go to grad school. While the process of applying has its own stresses and whatnot, it's different enough from looking for a job that they can't be considered the ...

As Alun said, it may be that the scene was rewritten after the guide was made. There are several screenshots in the guide that include different dialogue than what's found in the game itself. What might be interesting would be to know if there's anything suggesting that in the Japanese version of SS...

Though I'm not from Massachusetts, most of my extended family is, so it annoys me when I hear people (especially politicians) say that people from Massachusetts "aren't really Americans" or things to that effect. Why would anyone say people from Massachusetts aren't Americans? I've never heard that...

People from every region have their biases. This means that just about every region has some (largely unfair) label attached to it, not just the South. Though I'm not from Massachusetts, most of my extended family is, so it annoys me when I hear people (especially politicians) say that people from M...

I don't either, but I'm almost certain the SSSC guide summarizes a scene that way. Can someone check? I can't find my open copy. It may be that the scene was changed after the guide was written, if I'm remembering the guide correctly. I've got it right here. At the top of page 155 it says "As you e...

I suggest something about the weather like: Why do toilets fluch clockwise, while, below the equator, they flush the opposite. That's actually a myth. See here . Anyways, I agree with others that video game violence is not such a good idea for a project, largely because trying to carry out any mean...

Yeah, now that I think about it, my first post went a little too far. It certainly is possible to have a good science fair project. However, I would argue that the presence of any good science fair projects is mostly due to the individual talents of the students who carry out such projects, and I st...

Re: Science fair
I am looking for a decent science fair project, Unfortunately, "decent science fair project" is, for all intents and purposes, an oxymoron. Science fairs are horrible for science education for a number of reasons. They give students a really skewed version of how scientific research works, almost a...
