Oh -- and a while back, there was someone who had a ranking system for computer games, based on 'crates'. Basically, the more crates (or sooner you ran across them in a game), the greater the lack of originality in the game. I want to say it was done about the time of C&C2

That would be Old Man Murray's Crate Review System - arguably the finest metric of game originality ever devised:

"To test our theory, we installed and played the twenty-six games we had within easy reach of where we were sitting. To our scientific delight, all exhibited crates within the first one hundred and twenty seconds of play. Please note that by crates, we mean both crates proper and the circular crate, the barrel."

It's a shame that Old Man Murray stopped updating a while ago - the site possessed a unique sense of humour. I still can't help thinking about the Death of Adenture Games whenever I hear the name "Gabriel Knight".

Bandai and Sammy are merely publishing the game (with Bandai taking the lion's share of the deal, for obvious copyright reasons). The actual developers are an Osaka based company called "Dimps". Thus far it is a truly impressive game, and one that I hope will receive an international release (and when I mean international I mean somewhere else other than Korea). Naturally, the Japanese players will rule the roost on this one.

Journal Journal: Finally... a place to call "home"

Calamity and I have decided to finally get us a space on the internet where we can say and do stuff. It's gonna be a professional-type effort, and I'm actually having fun writing up the spec for the site. I haven't a clue how long it's going to take, though.
