You should really do more research into your theory of correlation between time spent posting and amount of sex had. I find it fascinating.

and there you are proving my point by going into our profiles and providing statistics.

Please exclude any Jap RPGs from this topic because their stories are all shit.

Not always. I know I always toot Valkyrie Profile's horn, but with a sort of off-beat set of gameplay mechanics comes a fairly off-beat story. I enjoyed the "frame story" format when it came to the individual deaths and eventual assimilation into Valkyrie's ranks. It has a great sense of continuity especially in regards to characters that knew people who are now among your party members and will follow shortly. As a result, you get a number of different stories that don't necessarily need to be outlined in detail since it only involves their death, but at the same time get a taste for something relatively new.

All this framed into a larger storyline centered around Norse Mythology (which is always fun) makes it rather enjoyable for me, and I would imagine many others.

Oh yeah, and the fact that you had to put in a lot of effort just to get a good storyline was also kinda cool.

Is this a common occurence among people? I've never felt anything emotional in a videogame besides anger and frustration.

p.s. pussy

I dunno, I always thought the ending for Klonoa was a pretty good heart string puller.

The Half-Life series

without a doubt for me

He's got a point. After all, Dyne doesn't even use capitialization and avoids puncuation most of the time, so you can imagine how little time he spends on his posts. Kano's posts are written as though someone was meant to read them instead of being browsed past in a chatroom, so I think we all know who really spends more time posting.

Well, you know, unless they're decent at typing.

I can't speak for everyone, but Grandia and Klonoa are the only two games I've played out of hundreds that have elicited a response from me other than amusement or boredom.

P.S. Eat me.

Punctuation is for English teachers and geeks. I see no need for it.

I'm not going to but I could if I wanted to because you're a huge pussy.

That was surprisingly good, Andrew.

He's been posting here for over three years. Laws of probability said it had to happen eventually.
