Yeah, Gummi Ships are a lot better in KH2. :P They still don't have a particularly important role other than getting from place to place, but there are extra missions and unlockable blueprints that can be gained by completing missions quickly, destroying certain enemies or a certain number of enemies, etc.
In KH1... You'll find that you'll only be able to make some of the classic blueprints, and only right near the end. But they're good for comedy value in some cases - like the Cactuar.  ;D

Lucia (FE9) - http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2115/2076862441_2468a8e62c.jpg?v=0
(If anyone can find a better pic, please do. I couldn't find a larger version of this one...)
Just... wow. I shouldn't have to explain this one. :D
Jeane (Suikos) - http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-01/s3-jeane.html
Nice hair, nice clothes, nice body, nice face... Where's there a problem?
Sarah (Suikoden III) - http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-01/s3-sarah.html
OK, so she looks a touch emotionless... But she's good enough like she is! If she smiled a little more, there'd be almost no competition.
Colette Brunel (ToS) - http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-03/art/tos-colette-brunel-02.jpg
Uhm... So, just basing this on looks (because who in their right mind would like Colette's character?)... But awesome eyes and hair, at least, ya?
Tethys (FE8) - http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-04/art/fess-tethys.jpg
So, I've never played this game, but I found the picture on Creative Uncut, and she looks good. That's about all there is to it.
Lethe (FE9) - http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-03/art/fepr-lethe.jpg
Because there has to be a catgirl somewhere, and she's probably the best one in FE, which is about all I'm gonna know. :D
Shelley Godwin (XS2) - http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-05/xs2-shelley-godwin.html
Ooh, nice hair, nice clothes... And purple eyes! PURPLE!
And, for what I've decided is my final vote, I'm gonna support whoever it was who posted after me nominating Viese - AI2. Because... just yes. <3

I think up to 10 is a fine restriction on number of nominations per person. I might not use everything nommed, but I'll try to work in anyone who someone genuinely wants in.
Because of this, I'll note that the only one I really care about is Lucia, who's already been nommed a couple of times, so will probably be in either way. ;D

I haven't played enough games, to be honest, so I only got the Final Fantasy ones, DDS2 & KH.
A~and those games cover the majority of my console-RPG knowledge - the rest is on handhelds, which are apparently not in either quiz, so I'm screwed for the 2nd one. :D

PS2 one - I find it awkward doing perfectly straight lines with the PS2 controller, and that's screwed me over a few times. Also, why is it that every game seems to have a damn fishing minigame and, regardless of the controls, I always fail miserably at it?! >.<

Okami: Finally got back to playing this... Considering all the hype this game got when it was released, it's a bit disappointing. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's just... not -that- good. It's a little repetitive, and the puzzles are never particularly difficult - the only thing that can be hard is getting the damn painting right. Still, like I said, not bad - it's got a decent battle system but it's just not living up to the hype it first got.

Pokemon Battle Revolution: And I have the same damn problem I had in Stadium... Why the hell am I gonna train a Pokemon to have amazing stats & moves below Lv 5?! How am I supposed to win against a Pokemon with godly Speed & sleep moves when I've only got some Lv 1s with decent moves through lucky breeding?! >.<

...*goes to train some Lv 5s on Diamond.*

I'll admit, I don't know as many RPGs as I probably should...
Also, I personally don't know what games count as RPGs - for example, I'd still say Fire Emblem & Disgaea are more strategy than RPG, and Kingdom Hearts is more Adventure, but I'll include them here anyways.

5/5 - Pure awesome.
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy IX
*Persona 4
Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call (Nocturne) - One of my favourite two games ever. Can't decide between this and Smash Bros. Melee.

4/5 - Epic.
*Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
Breath of Fire IV
Final Fantasy IV
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Kingdom Hearts II
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal
Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2
*Super Mario RPG

3/5 - Good.
*Disgaea - Mighta been better if I actually owned it and could finish it.
*Etrian Odyssey - Starts off slow, gets better.
Final Fantasy I
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
*Golden Sun
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
Suikoden IV - Yes, you read that right. I always get Viki early, so the sailing's never a big problem. =P
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

2/5 - Bad.
*Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
*Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King - Too slow, too repetitive. Might've improved, but I got bored.
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2 - Not necessarily bad, as long as you abuse the Skip Scene feature.
*Kingdom Hearts
*Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Pokemon Battle Revolution - As below.
Pokemon Colosseum - Not bad by all rights, but too limited.
Pokemon Stadium - As above.

1/5 - Awful.
*Final Fantasy III (DS)

0/5 - Pure crap.
*Final Fantasy XII


I've probably forgotten quite a few here... Ah, well. ^^;

I need to get more Daft Punk. The only thing I have by them is Harder Faster.

Me too, although I have a few more... Of course, only the ones that everybody knows, and I'd rather get a few of the lesser-known ones.

To the topic:
All-American Rejects - Move Along.

How many of the 151 original pokemon can YOU name in 12 minutes?!?!

First try was 90, with spelling screwing me over big time on some of them. Second go was 112 pokemans, with spelling still screwing me over but less so than the time before. I can't believe I almost forgot pikachu though... >_>

1st attempt: 128 + Missing No.
2nd attempt: 151 + Missing No. 4:22 Time Remaining

1st attempt: 151, 7:07 remaining.
I pride myself on being able to name all of the Pokemon from 1-170 in order. :D
Now off to try the Generation II version...

Edit: Generation II: 83/100. Missed some pretty obvious ones too. :(

Godlike - "Oh, I remember that character!"
Fujin(FF8) - WIN.
Kratos Aurion(ToS) - Pure awesome, simple as that.
Valvalis(FF4) - Yay for spinning!
Mewtwo(PKMN) - What the hell is with that run of losses? o.O
Jenna Angel(DDS),  - Finally, a manly woman, instead of the other way round!
Dhoulmagus(DQ8) - Because... there had to be a DQ8 character in there somewhere, and I don't like Guv.

Heavy - "Oh, I remember that game!"
Laharl(Disgaea) - Needs to come back from the humiliation of losing to Ultros.
Mia(FE9) - Lethal AND hot.
Nephenee(FE9) - Lethal, hot AND with an awesome accent.
Regal Bryant(ToS) - Wow. He's in Heavy why?
Quina Quen (FF9) - Pure awesome, simple as. I should restart work on my cosplay...
Geno(SMRPG) - Because... he's awesome?

Middle - "Wait, why the hell are they in Middle?!"
Cielo(DDS) - Only weakness being status shouldn't be a problem in Middle... right?
Umaro(FF6) - He's a yeti, simple as that. :D
Nanaki(FF7) - Let's face it, if Cait Sith & Reno can make it to Heavy...
Vivi Ornitier(FF9) - Status & good attack, only let down by defence and a little speed...
Rikku(FFX) - If Use and/or Mix count for her, she's easily Heavy. If not, she should be in Light. Either way, CHANGE.
Mizuki(S4) - Speed & Shrike = Wins... Or should...

Light - "OK, who else to choose...?"
Lino en Kuldes(S4) - Spear-user for the win! And he sings in the bath. What's not to love?
Zell Dincht(FF8) - Another I'm definitely voting. Low health Limits & evil Duel combos along with good speed should be good for him.
Porom(FF4) - Uhm... FFIV love?
Soren(FE9) - OK, I'm definitely voting him. Adept & good Skill & Speed high enough to prevent doubles? Shouldn't be in Light...
Flonne(Disgaea) - Nin nin nin! Whoosh!
Cyan Garamonde(FF6) - Strength? And... SwdTech? And... ... ...Old English?

I'm gonna mention xkcd again, just because of it's sheer awesomeness. :D

Also, quite surprised nobody's mentioned this one - http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php
Bit of a storyline going back from it, with the occasional random comic - usually games-related - and overall, utterly awesome. Kept me laughing for a good few days as I read through all the old comics. ^_^

Suikoden IV - I still can't get hold of the other Suikodens yet, so thought I'd replay this and get everything. Currently levelling people to 99, getting all items, levelling weapons to 16, etc.

Also, occasionally, Pokemon Diamond - trying to get a Lucky Egg & get one of each Pokemon. (My final aim for it is to have one of each Pokemon at Lv 100 and EV-trained.)

General Chat / Re: WTF?! Questions
« on: February 22, 2009, 02:13:03 PM »
1)Who is your favorite Ninja Turtle? Why?
Hunh. I don't really have one, to be honest - I don't really remember watch of TMNT. ^^;

2)Do you like Flurries? (Also called Avalanches, Blizzards, and Concrete) If so, what's your favorite Flurry Innards?
Nah. Those things aren't ice cream, they're just pure cream, which I can't stand the taste of.
(That said, I've never tried one with Oreo...)

3)What's your favorite movie that is not from your home country, the US, or Canada?
Pan's Labyrinth, without a doubt. It's an absolutely amazing film that easily beats any anime I've seen, at the very least.

4)YOU MUST PICK ONE: Drowning or burning to death.
Drowning. I've nearly drowned once before, and it is surprisingly calm after the initial shock.

5)YOU MUST PICK ONE: A quick and painless death in your sleep, or being the first human being to be compressed
into a singularity.

Uhh... I'm gonna have to go with the quick, painless death... I'm not really too tolerant with pain, and any promise of a painless death is a good way to go for me. =P

6)Assume God or some other divinity comes down to Earth and tells you that for reasons beyond your mortal ken, sapience must be granted to another species on Earth other than humans, and He asks for your advice. What do you tell Him? Why?
Hmm... To be honest, I don't really know much about animals; I'm not exactly an animal lover, to say the least... I'd probably just say something like plankton that would have no reason to or means of attacking us.

7)Who is the coolest Vampire of all time? Why?
Ehh, I'm gonna go with Lestat. Why? Because he's a narcissistic, flamboyant, extravagant and pretty damn funny character.

8)How about Robot? Why?


9)What is your favorite lame joke?
The magic tractor goes down the road and turns right into a field.

That, or...

3 men are trying to join the army. They're all being tested on 2 things: the first is to use explosives in a controlled but effective manner, and the second is to say how many letters are in the alphabet.
The first man steps forward, talking about how there used to be a set of flats down the road from the centre, but are no longer there, thanks to him. He then says that there are 25 letters in the alphabet. "I'm sorry, that's wrong. You're gonna have to leave."
The second man walks forward, saying about how he blew a hole into a nearby field. "Sorry, but that's not an effective use of the explosives. You're gonna have to go."
The third man begins: "If you turn left out of this building, you come to a roundabout, and taking a left there leads to a huge industrial centre, right? You remember the shop that used to be near the entrance there? It's not there anymore. And there are 24 letters in the alphabet."
"No, I'm sorry, you got it wrong. You'll have to leave."
"No, no, you don't understand - I just blew up B & Q."

((For those of you who don't understand that last joke, B&Q is a British chain of DIY stores, and the joke itself was actually pretty funny - or at least I thought it was when I heard it. =P))

10)YOU MUST PICK ONE: Yourself and the [gender] of your dreams are perfect for each other, but not destined to be with each other. One of you has the superhuman ability to know exactly who their match is the instant that they meet, but have no way of convincing the other of this power whatsoever. Do YOU want to be able to recognize them, and risk failing to seduce them, or do you want THEM to be able to recognize you, and risk them being unnoticed?

Hmm... Just in case it -didn't- work, I'd rather not know. I mean, if we're perfect for each other, and she knew that, then surely she'd be willing to talk to me... And, in all honesty, I'm quite easy to get with, whereas, for all I know, she might be reluctant to talk to someone new. ^^;
