MAIA'S PROFILE

My name is not Maia, but instead it is something that I was dubbed on Don Migel's old forum for the first game that I showed off to the public. My generic name was changed into Maia, and since then I have been Maia. I am a girl, I am old compared to some other people, in fact for the majority of RPG Makers, I am twice their age.

I was born in Russia, and moved to America when I was a teenager, but not as an exchange student. Back in Russia, I am a published author and I have written two dozen books. One dozen of which have been published.

Names of Areas Needed

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that participated these 3 posts were very helpful. I posted in another forum and it was less than helpful. So thank you :-) Now to lock it or delete it :-)

Can i take viagra if...

This is not the correct forum, but it is hilarious. I have heard viagra keeps you stiffer for up to a week as in you need to take 50 mg once a week and it keeps you stiffer longer.

I agree with Kentona

makes for a good pause. I am glad this topic has caught on.

I do use dialog pauses. It seems odd for a character not to have them, just because no one ends a sentence and just keeps talking into the next one. I never slow down the text speed unless it's plot crucial information, and even then, only for maybe 4 or 5 boxes for a cinema portion. Too bad the SHIFT + ENTER text skip combo only works in the test game option.
If only there were some punctuation mark the reader could interpret as a pause in conversation. You know, something that kind of puts a natural breather in between sentences.

If only...


Isn't that what a semicolon is?

Whenever I use one people think I meant to use a comma.

Depends. Snail Racer 9000 might catch on and be the next Rock Band.


You know there is an old game called Desert Bus that is a real time drive through the desert in a bus that doesn't go more than 40 mph. That game has a cult following and even a charity, but that doesn't mean people rush out to play it.

The 9 things that I have learned from the RMNCasts

About #9. That is really a conscensus amongst those that host the RMNCast. Something quirky, fun and out of place makes for a better experience than something that makes sense. Like the Southpark joke about Family Guy consisting of 3 random words to make their jokes.

Example:
Higher than Alyssa Milano.

When logic would be:
Higher than Cheech or Chung.

You tell me which is more entertaining and which is more factual. Actually lets try this...


Who is a prettier couple than Glenn Close on a date with Janet Reno on bingo night?

Who is a prettier couple than Megan Fox and Pamela Anderson at a strip club?

Let us try this in a RPG setting...


Oh no run! Its a giant unstoppable superbeast with a sword named Volcanus!

Oh no run! Its an angry old grandma with a handbag named Hillary!
