In terms of the masking effect, what about Gordon Freeman? You know his face, you know his name, but you never have dialogue, and you're always the center of attention. A weird mix of Everyman incarnated as one particular man(an MIT physics post-doc, in this case).

Who wants to bring "Hero with a Thousand Faces" into this?

I have to work a 12 hour shift this Saturday, basically all alone in the office providing "coverage" so our stupid "customer" gets a warm fuzzy.

Hmm.

BTW re: my Stokely Carmichael with a giant katana thing, my latest FF:Tactics attempt is led not by Ramza, but "Shabazz."

I like the Half-Life 2/Unity/ZORK trinity comparison a lot.

For my birthday I got Dragon Warrior VIII & a new TV for the PS2, so this may have to be subtitled to Fuck It, I Like Cel-Shading Too

Yeah well anyway the lineup for upcoming DS RPGs (all basically in 2D) is looking sweet and makes me glad that in June I can get Ally her own DS Lite so I can have my fat old one back.

i could rock some of those... which one you going to go for first tom?

Contact and Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon are going to both be must-haves for me I think. FF3 too.

CONFLICTED EMOTIONS (anyone played it?)

(it's fire emblem for GC, fwiw)

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 18 May 2006 16:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll be getting fire emblem on the GC for certain, I am thinking of altering my stance to "better in 2.5D" actually (cf Contact for DS)

― TOMBOT (TOMBOT), Thursday, 18 May 2006 17:49 (eighteen years ago) link

speaking of tactical games (slocki pay attention) there's a WWII Panzer tactical game and a Star Trek tactical game (from Bethesda!) coming out for the DS too!

WHOAAAAA!!!!!!

What era of Star Trek?

― Laurah (laurah), Saturday, 20 May 2006 12:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i saw the panzer game!! it looked pretty good... although i only saw screenshots and they didn't look in-game.

fire emblem for gc is kind of a weird proposition for me, for some reason these games work much better in my head as portable things.
