Chrono Compendium Discussion / Re: Crimson Echoes DVD Project officially underway!
« on: January 24, 2010, 12:31:47 am »Release the DVD first. That's what people really want. The rest can be part of a second release with all the extras.
That way the extras are really just fun extras, and not something that's holding up the very thing that people really want to see. Then you can take your time and have fun making the extra stuff without any outside pressure to bother you.
*thumbs up*

General Discussion / Re: So tell me a little about yourselves.
« on: January 20, 2010, 04:44:52 am »
Well... Thank you, at age 12 I decided I wanted to learn what was inside the "black box" we call brain, so all my life has revolved around getting to learn more about what goes on in our minds. When I wasn't studying I was playing videogames or reading books =P
My areas of interest... well, pretty much everything. But I guess it would be find the answer to the question.
"Why?" is the most common question. For better or worst, the answer almost always leads me to another question, "How?".
I am not that stuck up on psychoanalysis though, I prefer an approach more akin to Humanism. I had mostly worked in tandem with a person a respect a lot, a mentor of sorts, he's a Neuroscientist. We worked with people with neurological impediments, but after my time with him I have worked with people inside the autism spectrum, even though I don't know that much about their condition. I mostly did that for the experience.
My real goal would be to become a psychotherapist, but I haven't found a way to establish a practice yet. I like field work more than lab work, but I enjoy research and experimentation. It's just that I find that working in a lab can be a very de-humanizing endeavor.
I worked recently in a care center for people with low income, but ended up "promoted"(I guess...) to give the medical staff various psychological treatments, mostly tools for managing stress and couping mechanisms.
I am not that smart, really... but teachers always told me I am a very emphatic person, perhaps that's why I happen to be good at what I do.
If anything, my area of interesting is something called "Truth". You would be surprised how much we humans complicate our lives, far more than we need to. I understand some people need the drama or the spice, but most people really go out of their way to create phantom enemies in their minds and having demons to vanquish. I think it's because we see that kind of stuff on TV, Movies, Games and all sorts of media, and we want that kind of pizazz in our lives. I liked how in the movie "The Matrix", Agent Smith told Morpheus that the first Matrix was a paradise, but everyone rejected it, so instead, they tried to create a troublesome world to mimic our own lives, and people responded incredibly well to that. I understand that the bittersweetness in life must exist, for we can only truly appreciate happyness because we now of sadness, but really... some people seem to think they need to pay for every waking second of happiness with tragedy and despair.
I will always try to become a successful psychotherapist, but now I think a more realistic option is to teach, after all, I have always been better with words than with pencils. I traveled a lot, moving from one place to another in order to broaden my idea of the mind. That is, until I realized there were places on the internet that weren't all about memes and fads. Since then I have looked for places on the internet that offer me insights on the collective mind this virtual sub-culture is, and I have found some very rewarding ideas, as well as a lot of nonsensical crap.
I have learned a lot from your own entries here on the Compendium Lord J Esq, I thank you for providing some interesting and very delicious food for thought. There have been some topics I would like to participate, only to find out you have pretty much said it all. I feel akin to your idea of cementing our opinions with facts, not just demonstrating our echolalia to the rest of the world by repeating something we heard some other people say, or worst, something we watched on some crappy talk show(I am looking at YOU, "Dr." Phil)
I am a better speaker than I am a writer, because I can't read the other person body language, I have trouble realizing when I have said enough... and always end up going into some random tangent(like I did just now) so I am finishing this post here. Sorry if my answer was not what you were looking for.

How old are you?
24
When was your first experience with the Chrono games?
SNES era, but it was a rental so I didn't finish it, I liked it a lot, years later I finish it on an emulator.
Do you have a job?
I am a clinical psychologist
Favorite color?
Blue on almost any of it's forms. Azure being one of my favorites.
Would you rather listen to a techno remix of a Chrono song, or an orchestral arrangement?
Orchestral
What kinda computer are you running on?
One that was invented in the later stages of the Cenozoic Era.
What's the last movie you saw in theaters?
District 9 (Excellent film, by the way)
And lastly... what would you prefer? A remake of Chrono Trigger or PS3, or a new sequel to CT/CC?
Sequel. I am still waiting for Chrono Break o.o

It's called Control Pad. I am sticking with my controller thank you.

More like a response to the list of Rules for the Evil Overlord:

But, if you want to speak about RPG Cliches, that list is full of win, however, for me the best and most truest(yup) piece of truth in there is this:

No. 14.- Garret's Principle: Let's not mince words: you're a thief. You can walk into just about anybody's house like the door wasn't even locked. You just barge right in and start looking for stuff.

You will often walk into perfect strangers' houses, lift their precious artifacts, and then chat with them like you were old neighbors as you head back out with their family heirlooms under your arm. Unfortunately, this never works in stores.

Nice idea! Maybe the Beta Testers?
I don't know... I would be very happy with just the videos at my grasp without having to wait Youtube loading times and 10 minute limits. Everything else is just gravy, IMHO, of course.
