I make and play games - playing games I use as a reward for reaching specific milestones within my various development projects. I've played a wide variety of games, having started at the tender age of three and worked my way up over the years so that, at one point, I was actually going out of my way to find the original games (cartridges, CDs, whatever) to play.
All games I elect to review must be 'Complete' status (though games still in the process of clearing out bugs are fine and will be noted in the review itself). These games must have a download on RMN (as I pass them to my Dropbox queue) and need to be self contained - everything I need to play should be in the download, without needing to install anything (including RTPs; we aren't living in the days of slow connections anymore, people). You should also have any fixes in the download, not something I have to look through the comments for - I'm going to be avoiding them like the plague until I've finished the review.
When I review a game, I try to play as much of it as I can possibly stand before posting the review - I make notes/write part of the review as I'm playing, so a lot of what goes into the review is first impressions of sections. I'm also not a stickler - things don't have to be perfect - but I've seen many examples of things not done perfectly but, at the same time, not done horribly. I rate five categories on a scale from 1 to 10: Story, Graphics, Sound, Gameplay & Pacing, and Mapping & Design. 5 is average to me, so it's not necessarily saying that category is bad - it's saying it's middle of the road. Games within the same editor are compared to one another, not games across editors (I'm not going to hold an RM2k game to the same standards as a VX Ace game due to system limitations, but I won't let it hold back the RM2k game's rating) - unless the game is part of a series across multiple editors.

Time to work on this game again*2.
I can't nominate Misaos?
Games need to have a release in 2013 to count for the 2013 Misaos, I'm pretty sure - games which don't will appear greyed out?
The Screenshot Topic Returns
Real world, showing you're rich often includes not using carpet - carpet in most real world situations is used to cover up an otherwise ugly flooring situation, and stone tiling and hardwood flooring are considered rich and high end.
About to do a large marathon of classic SNES/Playstation RPGS, any good recommendations?
Beyond the Beyond and Secret of the Stars (PSX and SNES, respectively). They're both sort of terrible-yet-awesome games.
And I'd recommend you at least try Earthbound, up until the end of the first major dungeon at least - it took awhile to grow on me, but I was pretty sold by that point. The concepts of the game kinda... stick to you by that point.

Is this kind of game possible?
RMXP has a beta isometric script - I have it somewhere as part of a tactical battle script, but it works out of combat as well. There's a little bit of lag due to the way it interprets the map, but it might have been refined further in incarnations on RMVX or VXAce.
Pretty much any character modifications you want can be done using the scripting in RMXP and up - I wrote an engine that plays new World of Darkness on it (never developed it into a game), and that requires essentially an entire overhaul of all the character related functions from scratch.
As you haven't specified which of the many RPG Makers you're considering using, I'm believing you haven't made up your mind which to get/use (if you do), so for the changes you want to might be better to look into one with RGSS support (XP, VX, or VX Ace).

Btw, what is your avatar? Is he a white rapper, or an emo singing about his horrible fucking life, while danicing LIKE a rapper?
I almost wish I had the ability to have a signature, just to answer this very question - this is the seventh or eighth time I've fielded this answer. =P
His name is Dero - he's the singer from a German... industrial rock? industrial metal? (Wikipedia also lists them as Neue Deutsche Härte, which is the same style as Rammstein - though this band helped originate the style) band named Oomph!. This particular image, he's sort of dressed as a priest merged with a coporate executive - it's from their music video, Gott ist ein Popstar (which, as you might guess, is 'God is a Popstar', one of them there double meaning names, like the song itself).
Your opinions on the DmC reboot?
Is the gameplay good? If it is, the changes to the 'story' don't matter - Devil May Cry's story and characters were never its strong point and were pretty much always making me go, "Wait, what?" in the other games anyways. They always seemed like a rather horrid framing for an amusing action game, and that was about it.
End Event Process
I'm assuming you're using RM2k or RM2k3 and referring to the End Event Processing event command - this is a mistranslation and should read "Stop Parallel Events." Basically, it does exactly as it says.
Mother 2 Duplication
In theory? It's possible and entirely feasible. It might take some work, and would be best done in one of the three RGSS editors (VX Ace, from what I hear of the two I don't have access to right now, would be the best). Honestly, the battle and item system would probably be the hardest parts to accomplish.
Given my love for Earthbound/the Mother series in general, I'd love to see something like this done.
That said, I don't think a perfect translation from Mother 2 would be the best; some of the translations in Earthbound were actually better than the original (particularly enemy names in some cases, as there was more text allowed in the English version for them).

Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess, which should I buy?
Having not actually played Skyward Sword but only seen it played, Twilight Princess seems like the better bet - I'm not sure how well it plays on the Wii though, because of the controls (what with being ported to be shoehorned onto the system), but it played very nicely on GameCube.
Of all the Zelda games, my suggestions are Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Link to the Past. They're the best of the games, imo.
