    ...not if you make sure the shiny side is out to reflect unwanted beams away.

    ...and wouldn't I need a "dreamrepeller" rather than dreamcatcher?

    Nuuuu.

    Same principle as "lightning rod". I mean, yes, it DOES attract lightning, but it does so in order to ground it, instead of letting lightning hit a building willynilly wherever it pleases...

    To me these days it seems everything has been going MMO.

    The Japanese/Enix DragonQuest (I've never seen it spelled 'Dragonquest' - only 'DragonQuest or Dragon Quest) has never - to my knowledge - gone the MMO route. I'm not sure if it's even gotten any form of multiplayer at all even after nearly 16 games. Unless one counts the "Monsters*" spin-off, which got competitive one-on-one battling in the GBC games and later online one-on-one battling in the NDS versions. Not much human interaction in the mainstream games though.

    The Final Fantasy series does have two MMOs however - XI and XIV.

    The first three DQ games and the first two Monsters games were released under the name of DragonWarrior, but every game (To my knowledge - I think VII was the last game to be released under that name, but I could be wrong. I never followed DW/DQ the same way I did with Final Fantasy) after that was released under the same name as in Japan - DragonQuest. I dunno exactly when that was though, but it was some time after Squaresoft and Enix merged. I guess they didn't have the power to get the rights to use that name until then. They couldn't even release the games internationally until they changed the name before that *shrugs*


    *DragonWarrior/Quest Monsters was a fun Pokemon-esque spin-off from the mainstream games where you tame and raise monsters rather than beat the crap out of them. You have the monsters do that instead XD
    A number of bosses from the series can be obtained and used as well. Me likes getting Orochi and having her wreak havoc early in the game :3

    Some people say Mokou's possessed by a phoenix, but that would be a bit redundant since she's already immortal from drinking the Hourai Elixir.

    I thank you all
    We've shared our displeasure
    And our happiness too
    There's no reason for us to stop now
    We'll keep rolling along
    Til we all come unglued

    15 minutes before I pack up and head for the bus! (huge grin)

    It's been the day from Hell - almost continual debugging with just enough down time to post in here and shove a can of soup down for lunch, but the problem was discovered and I've fixed the code.. Monday morning will be general testing.

    Going to shop on the way home and pick up enough food and beer that I don't have to leave my cave all weekend, w00t! Render, write, eat sausage w/ bbq sauce, and (blech) fill out 3 tax forms.

    Tired, tired, tired. Nothing like super-intense debugging sessions on the factory floor to wear you right out. I figure I deserve a nice, relaxing weekend now! I have to play with shaders and see about putting V4 stuff on Genesis Vicky, same thing for M4 on Genesis Mike.

    And of COURSE I need to get happily drunk so I can zip across the astral plane and pick up those gift baskets I left at Skirikis.. (hee hee)!

    That's one heck of an organ!!! (bug eyed face)
    ...yeah. Hooks up to a PC which is runs the simulation app and an array of speakers. All organs included are fully sampled note for note from real instruments, encompassing the gamut of time periods from the European baroque to the 20th century (including the American cinema organ) eras. Like X-Plane, the base software comes with a number of instruments "ready to play" and includes full acoustic ambience of the location where the original organ is installed. One can also purchase specific instruments of note to perform on without ever needing to leave the comfort of the living room or studio. The quality is absolutely amazing.

    Here's an example of one of my favourite Bach works, the "Jig" Fuge in G major performed on the historic Hinsz organ in Kampen, Netherlands available with the Hauptwerk Virtual Organ system. Notice the "delay", (echo) of the church's vast interior.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ncVblmduSQ

    Attached is a photo of the actual instrument that is sampled.

    ...can't say much for the MMO version but the original P & P RPG by the same name rocked....

    MMO Version? o_O
    I only remember Final Fantasy getting (two) MMO releases, but not the DQ series.

    I do remember hearing about the P&P DQ game. IIRC it was the reason that Enix had to release their game in America under DragonWarrior. Wasn't until they merged into SquareEnix that they finally got the rights to use the name (Which the game in Japan had been using the entire time the American release was stuck under the name of DragonWarrior ;P)


    ...shows just how much I am in touch with the electronic gaming trend these days. The last computer game I played was Civ-II before my old P1 machine went "*poof*.

    To me these days it seems everything has been going MMO. Heck, even some "traditional" P&P games like D&D 4th ed. and Shadowrun4 seem to have gone the route of the multiplayer net based games in the way they play (which is one of the main reasons why I still work with SR 3rd ed).

    About the only game which remotely interests me today is Flight Simulator, but need the proper control interfaces (yoke, stick, throttle(s), rudder pedals, etc) and triple display system to actually make it feel "right".

    Somewhere in a file cabinet I still have a copy of the core rulebook for the original DragonQuest. Have to dig it out sometime.

    If you're interested in a Shadowrun Computer game there's a new one coming out from Harebrained Schemes (http://harebrained-schemes.com/shadowrun/). Should release sometime this month and will be available either direct from them or through Steam. It's not multiplayer (massively or otherwise) but it comes with the tools to build your own adventures and those will be shareable via a kind of storefront.
