Curiously, one thing I noticed: When people makes fun of the stereotypes in RPGs, they always make the same kind of jokes in these articles. So another kind of articles could be made, making fun of the stereotypes of the articles that make fun of RPG's stereotypes.

Anyway, it was freakin' funny.

My stomach hurts from laughing!!

You've made my day, JJJ.

NOTE: It's typical, but you'll have to stop reading very often because of the laughs.

i've read other articles poking fun at RPGs, which were very serious in tone. they pointed out the stupidest crap like "in every RPG, there's at least one guy wielding a sword!"

but i decided to share this one because they did it in good fun. i'd start quoting from the article, but there's just too much i'd wanna share hehehe

Generally I don't care for game related humor but this was actually quite amusing. That part about what NPC character key word emphasis would be like w/ voiceovers was classic.

Likewise, but Somethingawful almost always makes it funny.

It's funny cause it's true!!! (Having barely survived the TG-16 dub of Dragon Slayer I can testify to this...)

Little known fact(I made up :), TTI wanted the TG-16 to fail so they purposefully made all of the dubs for the games bad.

I mean why else would they let potential marketable games be ruined by bad acting?

But then again the US launch of the PC Engine is almost as laugh filled as the Saturn's run in NA....
