PIES - Which is best?

An age old question for you today, and one that normally causes fighting in the STREETS. What kind of pie is best? It can be sweet or savory, but must be a pie (pastry on all sides, not a flan, quiche or tarte) . . . . ok . . . GO!!

What do you think makes an RPG?

The depth of the narrative and the sheer emotional connection that you find you have to the characters without even realising it (Biggs, Wedge and Jessie, I am looking at you!)

If you could remake any videogame which one would it be?

I'd remake Monster World 4, it never got a big release but was the most amazing game ever to hit the Sega Megadrive (Genesis) featuring a lot of fun levels and the traditional Wonderboy style of platform-rpg coolness. Now THAT is a game everybody should go look for the rom for!

How often on RM?

I tend to do maybe 5 hours of RPGMaker a week if I get the chance - that's the trouble with working full time, you don't have so much free-time to play with.

[Demo] MAGE DUEL

I'll be keeping an eye on this one!

What's your favorite fan-made comic?

It may be cheating to say Enker's Tale http://www.coloringdragons.com/enker because I draw it - so I'll have to go for Iragination Comics, which is another great Megaman Fancomic.

The Kelly Chronicles

lol nice :) they read well.

Free Graphics Resources for Cheap Digital Artists :P

lol nice - a little collection of some fun programs.

What did you watch last?

I watched the latest episode of Top Gear before work this morning.

What makes you play an RPG more than once?

I think that the main draw back for a player is the promise of a strong plot and a need to see if they can do even better on the next playthrough. Think of it as crossing the re-watching of your favourite film with the urge to hit level 99 (or 999 in disgaea!)

Personally I have probably played FFVII about 11 times. Once through in a single marathon sitting with two friends who had never played it before and wanted to know what all the fuss was about, and even once just using Enemy Skill Materia and no other type as part of a challange. Chrono Trigger 4 times (5 when it hits the DS!) and Final Fantasy 4 mor times than I can count!

Interestingly, some games have no replay value, but promise an endless single game experience. Pokemon and Disgaea are examples of this, where to reset is to be mad given all that you invest in the game. On the opposite we have Breath of Fire V however, which expected you to do it again and again just to finish once . . . that was one annoying game!
