yamamanamaHi, folks! Remember how I promised some bonus content?
Portraits of Final Fantasy X
Also, I ranted about King's Quest V here
Excised from the the guide amongst dinosaurs and why Terra Branford hates Californians, it reads:
I don't care what you say about Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X doesn't have the William Shatner eagle. Or the squeaky-voiced princess. Or the talking wolf. We're going on some other quests. But not a quest that involves going to the evil wizard's castle where you can run into the cat, who tells the evil warlock you're here before you used the peas on the blue beast, because you need the bag of peas to trap the cat. That's never happened to me, but once the blue beast appeared twice and I got stuck. I had no idea it could happen, seriously. Fuck you, King's Quest. Oh, right, it kicks you out of the game if you use profanity. Felch you. It's a legitimate complaint, doing everything exactly as the programmers want you to do and still get stuck. As far as I checked, it's not a subtle metaphor for real life like PacMan is.
They programmed it so that the cat would only chase the mouse if you had either the stick or the shoe. I propose a.) make sure the cat only appears if you have an empty bag of peas, which will guarantee that you don't encounter him if you haven't knocked out the beast and b.) the beast should not appear if you've knocked him out with the peas. I guess the beast has a chance of appearing in each room, but I think it would require only a few lines of code. Then again, programming is weird and scary and I'm not a programmer.
You guys are going to help me. If you have any comment on the pictures, put the number of the picture you're commenting on, along with the hex triplet (hint: look up Web colors on Wikipedia)
Lesson Learned: That song fits.
Burning Question: Has that ever happened to you? Not just in King's Quest, in any game.
