RandomNPC – Video Game RPG Reviews, Editorials, and Features

Why they asked me to do this I’ll never know, but I’ll give it a shot. The comments section is a viable place to air complaints, after all. Cortney “Alethea” Stone continues to play through Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, as well as Final Fantasy XI, in a continued attempt to avoid Radiata Stories. The rest of us had a meeting, and after all the male pig jokes were had, we agreed not to hold this against her.

My former Pokémon mentor now nemesis Michael “CactuarJoe” Beckett has taken a break from Front Mission for reasons similar to why I quit playing Disgaea, and has instead taken up Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines: The Search For More Colons, which may or may not be the actual title.

My good buddy John “Karlinn” Boske has developed OCD as a result of the sidequests in .hack GU. No word yet on if he’s discovered what the hell GU is supposed to stand for. Witnesses have also told me he was spotted pouring a 40 ounce on his sidewalk while muttering something about Troika.

Derek “Roku” Cavin continues to do way more than is expected of him, which is something that you appreciate in a site head, but sucks when you want to come up with a joke. If you can think of one, put in the comments below and maybe I’ll put it in(Spoiler alert: I won’t actually do it).

Jerry “XeroZohar” Swain, who is forcing me to use this silly name and nick system, is playing a series about some man made of rock or something. It’s not an RPG series, so we don’t care.

 That only leaves me, and I’m sorry to say I haven’t been doing much RPG playing. Besides putting together the most adorable Pokémon ever and spending an hour or so putzing around in Earthbound, I’ve mostly been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Digital Devil Saga in the mail.

So that’s what we’ve been up to. Insert a better closer here at your leisure, and we’ll see you next week.
