I've spent a large part of my 26 years designing video games, mostly in my head. When I discovered RPG Maker 2000, I finally had a medium to put my thoughts down into, and I did.
At the time of its release, Mana Conquest was massive - even a ten hour long game was insane in those days, and the graphics kind of sucking was generally overlooked, due to the scope of the project.
Several years since, and I'm a bit embarrassed concerning how bad the first game really was. I've tried to fix that in the sequel, but between when I started, and now, there have been three new RPG Makers, and since they don't allow backwards compatibility, I've been stuck on RM2k3. Shameful.
I've come too far to quit now, though.

Stupid stuff from your childhood that nobody else remembers
I don't remember it per se. I knew about it, but never watched it or cared. I had a couple of old PC games about her though.
Is it wierd that most of my childhood memories involve video games of some sort. Fond memories of waking up early on a sunday and playing Zelda II for the nes until about 4pm to add another star to my savegame... or playing super mario 3 with my little brother... or the original phantasy star for the master system...
Those were the days man.

Zero to Many Review Challenge

I might as well just ask... does anyone want their game to be reviewed (if it's complete and non-reviewed)?
You could review Mana Conquest Although a 14 hour epic isn't the normal thing you'd choose to review on a challenge like this.
Also, if anyone does actually play it, don't skip the intro text. There is a minigame later on that asks almost obscure questions about the story (like what is your main character's last name). You have been warned.
RMEventFactory - The batch tool for creating RM2k(3) events!

I'm running on like, 3 hours of sleep here, so forgive me. I understand the general concept of this very useful program, but can someone give me some examples of how it can be used?
hmm...
I really can't think of much I'd be able to use it for. Most of the tedious copypasta I end up doing when making huge custom systems is contained within the event itself... and with the advent of that powermode hack, I don't even need to do that anymore.
I'm sure someone has a use for it, though... or it wouldn't have been made.

I actually started to make a list.... but then I realized anyone who's looking for a list need only sort the games list by completed and reverse rating to see a list of completed games that have never been reviewed.

Just substitute pages with labels.
That's what I do. It gets real confusing if you don't use comments to remind yourself what was being called, or referenced, though. This should be easy enough without any need for that.
Impossible Video games
Wardner for the SMD (Genesis)
I dare you to try to play that. it was a nightmare to me when I was five, and I could beat it then. now I can't believe I ever had the patience for it. (like most old platforming games actually)

Terrible Customer Service
To be completely honest, the only time I've ever had a bad customer service experience as a customer was with Blizzard, regarding a GM ticket in WoW.
Basically, they have this standard policy of not settling loot disputes when the loot in a raid group is set to master looter (basically the raid leader can arbitrarily assign loot as he sees fit, usually involves people rolling for it), and the raid lead steals one or more items. More recently, however, they've been setting trends where they will return items to their rightful owner if certain criteria are met, namely that said loot stealer sets out clear loot rules in game (IE highest roll wins) and then goes against his own rules and steals the item anyway. This case would be treated as a scam, which is actually punishable.
Long story short, raid lead steals two sweet items from a raid I was in. He clearly stated rules for loot at the beginning of the raid. He claimed at the end that he had started the roll for one of the trinkets (the one he wanted) and said he won the roll, no one else saw it. he did not. the other was for casters, and he didn't appear to hand it out at all, probably gave it to one of his buddies instead.
A GM was paged, and he tells us that nothing can be done. No loot can be given to anyone because he didn't set forth loot rules (which he had), plus going on the scam thing, he had claimed he won the item legitimately using his previously established rules, which he had not, and which any GM could obviously check in the logs. We're all pissed. Raid lead gets off with no punishment and at least one awesome item, and 23 people who can say he's a loot ninja to the entire world, and have no one believe us. GG Blizzard.
Now, for stupid customers, I've seen quite a few. I used to do tech support for comcast (a major cable/telecommunications company in the US) for internet service. Despite the clear prompts on the computer operator thing, I still get calls once in a while that involved people going to the wrong place.
MUltiple times I've had people calling to dispute porn charges on the PPV channels, they usually come to the conclusion that it was their husband/son/lesbian daughter, and hang up embarrassed. Occasionally they'll ask for titles, which is fun for us to read off.
One time I had a customer ask to be paid for beta-testing the new comcast website, claiming that beta testers for programs and games get paid, so why shouldn't they. What they fail to realize is that people who test those things tend to send in some kind of feedback on it, which she had not. In addition, EVERYONE was beta testing that site, not just a small group of people.
Once I had someone call up to basically yell at me because his internet didn't work, and apparently hadn't worked for days. When I scheduled him a technician to fix the problem, he then exploded, talking about how he needed internet right now, and that now he'd need to call in sick to work the next day to have the tech come out. I pointed out that if he needed the internet right now, he probably should have known that it hadn't been working for days, and that if he had known that, if he'd called in earlier he'd definitly have gotten a tech out a lot sooner, so he'd have it right then. He got pissed off and hung up.
Sometimes people will call up complaining that their service isn't working, or didn't work for a few minutes in one day and demand we give them a whole month off their service. We're advised to credit them for the EXACT amount that their missing service was down for. if it was 15 minutes on one day in a one month period, then they can enjoy their 3 cents. Good day.
Sometimes people would call up and threaten that they're paying my salary, and my customer service is bad, etc. Being the sour, sarcastic person that I am, I'll often tell them that their $80 per month doesn't pay for work for me for TODAY, and that I'm not even paid by comcast, I'm paid by an outsourced company, who doesn't tend to give a crap about one measly customer.
Some people will think they are the center of the world, and demand earlier technician calls, even though we're all booked up on them. Some will even go so far as to demand we cancel someone else's tech call so we could schedule one for them. Talk about arrogance.
