AVEE'S PROFILE

Also, I think the point of a game is to play the game, not watch the cutscenes or whatever. If you want to watch the cutscenes, there's youtube. If you don't like how a game is playing, maybe it's the wrong game for you!

This.
What sets a game apart from a movie are the interactive parts. If you allow the players to skip interactive parts you might as well make a movie. When you're fighting you're playing a game. When you're watching a cutscene you are not playing a game.
EDIT: And I wouldn't pay $60 to watch a movie.

FireStriker for the SNES has a very easy cheat you can use to skip every stage and boss battles, even the final boss. Just press Start and Select at the same time and you'll advance to the next stage. That way you can "beat" the game in a few minutes, but what's the point and where's the fun?

Mmh... I'd say the yellow thing above the character is a spider enemy, there's a black table with a bear trap on its side and a giant bong on the top, the yellow/white stuff on the other table are dismembered kittens (where's the blood?!) and the red thing on the right is either a mutant crab-coffin enemy or a coca-cola vending machine that just exploded.

If you're using Rpg Maker XP or VX someone with scripting knowledge might help you.
If you're using Rpg Maker 2000 or 2003 though I could help.

...this topic.

I like such sensitive topics and share Oblic's thought about how interesting it is to hear people's stories.

In a nutshell, my awakening to science and psychology throughout the years of my existence made me add more credibility to proofs and facts than to the lack of them, and I concern myself more with the usefulness of beliefs rather than the maintain of customs.

To me religions are composed of two distinct parts that are philosophy and mythology. The former might be useful to follow depending on the values and behaviors it promotes, while the latter is just... unnecessary.

For the record I was born in a believing-yet-casually-practicing family, baptized without knowing it, and confirmed out of following the customs at that age when anybody hasn't lived enough to really reflect on the matter. Religion was still on the program during my elementary and high school years. My parents only brought me to church with my consent and it seldom happened (I'd rather play the NES on Saturday mornings, you know).

Therefore I am not a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist or anything. I just don't need religions' suggestions in defining what values and goals I choose to follow.
I don't believe in any religion because they are all fiction to me, don't define myself with religion-related terms, and it is a subject I don't give much importance to afterall. What I do believe in is freedom of belief. Anyone can believe in anything they want as long as it doesn't hinder others' quality of life.
