RPG Classics Mailbag
Let's see. *censored* *censored* isn't available, Bill Gates is too popular already, and I shouldn't pick any terrorist, as they aren't funny at all. WAIT, I know!! I'd parody... *insert needless drum roll.* LARRY KING!! HAHAHA! BET YA DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING!!!
Excuse me, I need to level up now. *draws his sword and charges into battle*
Before I answer the question, it's time for the "Obligatory Nonsense" that comes before many mailbag entries. Before all you Pokemon fans try to find out my email address and flame me for the Pikachu comment, I DON'T hate Pokemon. I couldn't care less about most of the Pokemon craze, but I do like the games. However, I hate Pikachu. I like Pokemon, but I hate Pikachu. Does that make sense? No? Good. Now then. This topic here actually had me stumped for a fair amount of time. (Read : 5 Minutes.) I wasn't sure who should be parodied, and then while I was running around outdoors like a spaz, it hit me, making a nasty dent in my mind. I say that Jerry Springer should be parodied! ...what? I've got to EXPLAIN who Jerry Springer IS? No, I'm not going to. You should all know who he is. However, I WILL share an anonymous friend's comment about him. (Note that this friend was being sarcastic... or, I HOPE he was...) "Jerry Springer is such a romantic it almost makes up for his big flabby buns.". I think you can figure it from there.
Anyways, how should Jerry Springer be parodied? I say he should remain the host of a white-trash-y talk show, except that he should be made into a cute fuzzy critter. I personally see that as a big irony. I know, I'm not making much sense this time. After all, making fun of real people is not a strength of mine. Besides, since when has anyone made sense on the RPGClassics Mailbag?
heeeeeiiillllo, its me again! arnt you all glad to see meee!?!? ::pulls out brand new wand:: say yes or else.... any who, since im all for the movies with action, and i HATE chick flics/briney spears/makeup dooting wannabes, i should say Britney Spears should be in Final Fantasy Tactics! now dont get me wrong, i hate britney, and LOVE ff tactics, but i can imagine the glee of some 15 year old chick-flic hater (like me) watching Britney getting the snot pounded outta' her by a wicked ass Zodiac spell ^_^ then, what id do is keep re-healing her, then watching her gettin beaten by a summon/magic/sword spell till the little ^%$*&^8 cant take it anymore(oh the joy), and when shes had enough? i lay out a sweet Flare on her ass and slice her goodnight ^_^ he he he . also what the heck does the ERSB (Evil Rueing Spell Breakers?)have againest MY spell tactics hmmm!?! no tutus!?!? how could they!?!? waahhhhhh!!!!! o jeez, then ill haveta resort to "other measures" ^_^ ::pulls a big lever and EVERYONE falls down a plot hole...............including me.......:: ^$#*&^$&^%)*&^)(*!!! I meant to get that fixed!!!
I Abibde reporting again. Before I answer the question indicated by the topic for this week, I really should apologize for two serious oversights made by none other than myself in my answer to the question indicated by the topic for last week. First, I forgot that mechanical characters are considered not-quite-human characters, and I answered the question with anthropomorphic animals in mind -- my distinct apologies to such august personages as Robo (Chrono Trigger), T-260G (Sa Ga Frontier), and Wren (Phantasy Star III / Phantasy Star IV). (Ma'amselle Lucca, if you would be so kind as to forward my apology to Robo, whom I believe is your common law husband, I would greatly appreciate it. My best wishes to your eighteen children, though I imagine that changing their oil several times a day is tiresome. I can see why your second job on the set of Xenogears was a necessity.)
Second, I forgot that the Phantasy Star series and the Shining Force series, but particularly the latter, featured not-quite-human characters in leading roles. As a Maester of Sega, I am deeply ashamed of myself, and I would be inclined to commit seppuku if such an act did not involve the time-consuming creation of an animated .gif file showing the FF3J incarnation of Cid stabbing himself with a decidedly eight-bit sword.
(Insert such an animated .gif file here, if one exists. If not, insert an appropriately off-color comment from a certain green-skinned gas bag, or insert a spectacular explosion, courtesy of a certain yellow-coated Fallout veteran.)
And now, the answer to the current question, which I shall keep short. I would, as would many intelligent citizens of the United States of America, very much like to see our President (for whom I did NOT vote, I might add) appear as an anthropomorphic monkey who cannot tell the truth. Said appearance would be particularly enjoyable in a game such as, say, Grand Theft Auto IV, so that the enterprising player would have the rare joy of running him over with a Trashmaster, or of setting him on fire. Then again, taking the Final Fantasy approach, I would not mind stealing vast amounts of Gil from him before summoning Anima to blink his pathetic existence away.... Pardon me, but I must be on my way. I had to keep the response short on account of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which read what I typed above, and which is now at my front door. Hopefully, I will be able to make contributions to future mailbags from a federal prison.
First of all... I just want to say that it wouldn't help to shoot all Pikachus on sight, even if they deserve it (I don't like it... I REALLY don't like it... I REALLY REALLY don't like it... You get my point, right??) They would just faint... But... If you could kill it in a cutscene it would die... *WARNING SPOILER* Like Aeris... If she dies in combat, use Life... If she dies in cutscene, throw her in a lake =)... *END SPOILER* Anyway... Back to the real subject... I couldn't think of any real, famous person who deserved to be in an RPG, so... I'll make a RPG starring *drumroll* YOU CID!!! The topic said someone famous, but anyone who reads the mailbag can't really miss you... Noone who reads this mail can say that they've never seen anything that you have done i.e. you're famous (I just love having a twisted mind... You can create so much fun things)... So I would make an RPG starring you as... ... ... A Mailbag Man!! (Obvious isn't it??) You would save the internet from the evil Spammers... And I can't tell you the end, because that would spoil the game...
(Loud fanfare) Aloha, ahoy, salutations, and for good measure, merry Christmas! It's ME, Rabid Tauntaun, presenting a special FRUITCAKE edition of The Rabid Tauntaun's Wonderful Mailbag Responses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right, ladies, gentlemen, not-so-gentle men, and things. I have decided that this message should celebrate FRUITCAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do I propose to do that? Why am I even asking you, since unless you're psychic you probably don't know? Well, it was a rhetorical question!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incidentally, I also felt like being spendthrift with exclamation points today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shall celebrate fruitcake by giving all Cid's minions fruitcakes. But first, I have some questions I need to ask Cid. Cid, I have a couple questions I want to ask you. You have mentioned this fourth wall thing several time recently, but I was wondering why no one ever talks about the first, second, and third walls? Also, if I march around the fourth wall seven times a blow a trumpet, will it fall down?
And now, that moment you've all been waiting for (yeah right)...the fruitcake presentations!!!!!!!!! Hey, Ozzie.
Yes, fat green failed-villian Ozzie. I am talking to you.
Here, have a fruitcake. (tosses a fruitcake in Ozzie's general direction)
Hmm. Now I think it should be.......................................Luny's turn. (an open window appears in the air about 14 stories above Lunaris' head, and the disembodied arm of Rasputin reaches out of it and drops a fruitcake down towards Luny)
By the way, Luny me boy, what game art thou from?
Oh Lucca..............I have decided that you need a fruitcake. (a UPS employee runs up to Lucca and gives her a fruitcake)
Ah. Now we get the best one. Evil Cid, get in here.
Catch! (conjurs up a trebuchet, and uses it to launch a holy 1-ton fruitcake at Evil Cid)
That concludes the celebration of fruitcake, for which I am sure you are all thankful. What? Why didn't Cidolfas get a fruitcake? He doesn't deserve one! Why doesn't he deserve one? Well...Cid used MY demented mailbag topic, and he gave ME credit for it, so that makes him cool (at least for the moment), and fruitcakes are only for uncool people (at least today, that is...). I shall take this opportunity to offer my sincerest (not) thanks to Cidolfas, Supreme Grand High Overlord of the RPGC Mailbag, for using my WONDERFUL mailbag idea, and for giving me credit. Thank you, Cid.
Speaking of my wonderful mailbag topic... I think it would be great if Al Gore were parodied in an RPG. I am not a brilliant fanfic writer, so I can't come up with any clever scenarios for him to be in, but it would be funny if he was a boss, and you beat him, and then he demanded a recount, and you had to fight him again, and beat him again, and then he asked for another recount, so you fight him again, and then he he asks for another recount, and then Mog and Pikachu and Jar Jar Binks and Flammie and King Truffle and Kefka and Ganondorf and Frog and Magus and maybe Santa Claus too rush up and save you from him (by the way, this is an excellent example of the form of bad grammar know as a run on sentence). Are you tired of me yet? Fortunately for thee, I have finished filling the mailbag with useless drivel...this time...
Hi! its Deedly, my reply can be summed up in 2 words:
*The ceiling is blasted away by a volley of missiles. Doc Shinryuu drops in after the smoke clears* Heh heh, Matra Magic, always useful... AnyW00T, Doc's back!!! *Deafening fanfare!!!* As if you couldn't tell, Precis is no longer a main character. She decided that Audio Technician was enough. Quick! to the response-mobile! *Batman theme plays* "Which celebrity most deserves to be parodied in an RPG?" This one's actually tough, Cidster! So tough, in fact, that there's an over-100-way tie! I think that EVERY member of EVERY Boy Band, past, present, and future, should be parodied repetedly (though maybe that's biased).
And now, for an Anti-Flashy Exit. I am going to stand here until, a) Someone kicks me out, or b) Something happens. *Five minutes pass* ... ... ... ... ... ... *A Plot Hole opens beneath Doc, he falls in, 'nuff said*
+: Since I'm sure you'll get a fair amount of people calling for recent pop-culture beings to be cast as expendabilities, so there's no need to deal with that. I highly doubt anyone reading this would be familiar with the previous black hole of the internet known as FF3.com (the absolute foulest remain together at http://www.oddwebsite.com), leaving my concept of celebrity out of the question. That leaves me only with the choice of sci-fi authors.
+: And since I should probably be offended by someone assuming an instability on my part, I might as well finish up with The Template: (vulgarity) you, you ((vulgarity) expletive phrase) calling me (vulgarity) (assumed abnormality) some (foreign curse which makes no sense in its relative placement). I'm not much in the way of spirit when it comes to revenge, really.
Bill Clinton. He should be a talking weasel, smoking a cigar, constantly trying to sweet talk the female PCs(and failing miserably), while repeatedly insisting, "I did not have sex with that sheep."
Two people come to mind: 1. Sean Connery. If you've watcned SNL Celebrity Jeopardy you know what I mean. And him in an RPG would be hilarious.
2. That woman from Boston Public who keeps telling everyone to "smell dat shoe!". If you know who I mean, great. If you don't, shut up.
Psst... Energon, play the music... Energon: What? All right... *Puts needle on record and BSB's song about Back Street being back plays much to the horror of the Mailbag readers* ENERGON! Wrong one! Energon: Fine... What should I have played? I dunno... Play the SoA opening theme... *Energon plays the SoA opening theme* Fine, that's better. Now, for those of you wondering what is going on, I, Megaman984, The Pit Master, The Mailbag Replying King, The Most Modest Robot of Them All, am finally returning to the replying arena. After a bit of a break, I felt like retiring from replying, but Cid persuaded me not to. Thanks Ciddy.
Hmmm... What famous person, eh? Well, I would say JR, but a meanie of a Mailbag Host won't let me... So, I'll have to settle for Ranet Jeno. ... What? You mean that doesn't count? Aww... Hmm... So no JR, so who should I pick... I know! I pick the Reverend Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton! Since they always pop up when some crime of great misjustitude is perpetrated, they'd make a good Gilgamesh and lackey like villain. How would they work? Well, whenever you kill too many enemies that are black or some such color in their sprite/3d model, Jessemesh and Altros would show up to fight you. They'd attack you with rhymes and disenfranchisements and illegitimate babies and whatnot. Too bad they'd also be easy to beat. Well, that's it for today. If it wasn't up to par, my only excuse is "I haven't written any in about 2-3 months." Anyway, Cid, now that I've hosted 2 Mailbags, I have the third most number of Mailbags under my belt. You're first with Rast knows how many. Macc is 2nd with 23 and a half. I'm third with 2. Now all I have to say is... *Energon starts playing Piano like Phil Hartman in Newsradio* I'm back, I'm back, I'm back where I belong! *Jumps on piano and promptly falls off*
Tis me, Igno, again. And again, for my 2/100 of a buck once more. What famous person deserves to be parodied in an RPG? I'd have to say Bill Gates. I can see him as the main boss in a futuristic epic. Just when all seems lost. . .his biosuit's os(Windows ME) crashes. Defense goes down. As Frog would say, "Layeth the smack down." That's my 2/100ths of a buck. Wait. . .I just gave you 4/100ths of a dollar. . .jus' keep it.
Famous person as a parody, I would have to say Amanda Bynes. I don't know what the name of the character would be but it would be a character in an RPG that would sound exactly like Amanda and look exactly like her and god forbid, behave just like her. Amanda is in a sketch show called "The Amanda Show" where she plays as different characters and does silly and dumb things. Well, in one part of the game, the main character would have to survive all 1,049 of the Amanda look alike's split personalities and all of her childish antics while trying to make it to the top of the tower in one piece. Everything from dumb prank phone calls to hitting the main character over the head with random objects while dressed as a hillbilly (don't ask, for the love of God, don't ask) to using kung fu or whatever while dressed as a cheerleader etc. (Amanda, if you're reading this, I'm just joking, please don't get offended or take this personally)
I think chris rock should be in an rpg as a mage or somthing because how often do u have a black guy in an RPG and a very funny one too.
R.Dragoon:Hey! I don't waste your time!(you hurt my feelings...)
I think that Oystein Aarseth (better known as Euronymous (R.I.P. 1993), former guitarist of the band Mayhem) would make a fine villain in an RPG. This guy was pure evil. He was like a mix of Adolf Hitler and Charles Manson, but on guitar! He was also the man who got the whole Black Metal movement going in Norway where he also had a music store called "Hell." He ended up getting stabbed to death by former bandmate/best friend Vark Vikernes (AKA Count Grishnackh of the one man band Burzum). Well, that's my two cents.
IT'S A BATTLE: MAGIC versus SCIENCE! The OLDE WORLD versus the FUTURISTIC!
Which will win?
( - *UNLESS* YOU opt for secret option C: a HYBRID of YE OLD WORLD *and* TECHNOLOGY!!) WHICH will emerge triumphant? Will either SURVIVE at
all? Is anyone going to be really annoying and say
that they both work well at doing different things?
WHAT are these different things? And WHICH do YOU
prefer? If YOU want a hybrid to WHAT EXTENT would YOU
make your world OLDE and to WHAT EXTENT would it be
TECHNOLOGICAL???
