A role-playing game, or RPG, places you the player into a world where your character becomes more or less an extension of you, and you are able to live vicariously through your character. RPG's typically are heavily story-oriented where it draws the player in.

We differentiate RPG's in this way, to quickly tell the difference between this style and say a strategy-based game such as command and conquer, or a shooter game like quake.

Thee are cross-overs as well, such as Marathon, which is a 1st person shooter yet has an involved story and places you into the action as the last remaining cyborg juggernaut who doesn't know who or what he is.

But in reality RPG is just a label for quick identification of the game's main "style."

Thank you Stark Bledfast for spoiling MArathon for me.
Here's a spoiler for you: GANDALF IS NOT DEAD !!!!!!!!

------------------

Is that a good thing?

It depends on whether you're Sauron or Frodo.

Mr. MKandChampandChampJr,

Please calm down, and try to consolidate your posts.

Celchu was merely replying to your post asking if -LethaLGraphiX-'s posting of "Gandalf is not dead!" was a good thing or not. His reply was related to the fantasy world created by Tolkein. If you are unfamiliar with this world then you will not understand the quip. You can read the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy if you wish to understand it.

Sorry. Please Call me MK. If you saw my profile u would know that Champ and Champ Jr. are my chao.

Created in the Future byb **** -Knight in his old age. I was sent to the future to undo the justice Kirby had preformed apon Popstar. I then found a Chao. I named it champ. He acompanied me on my quest. He then had a son named Champ Jr. so the Saga continues.

Mr MK, i'm sorry if we confused you.

I think the reason is that you are very young, and some of us are getting old.
I'm only 24 years and i have no idea what a chao is, or what the difference is between Digimon and Pokemon -although I do know jessie .

I used to spend my time readign books and watching ancient cartoons, like masters of the universe and GI-joe, Mask...

Some of the books i used to read have been made into movies, like 'Lord of the Rings', and 'The Neverending Story' others are still books

We old people like to make jokes about those books and tv series, so if there is anything you don't understand, just ignore us -
When you grow old you'll be making jokes about digimon, and young people won't understand you

I remember when "Greyskull of Power the By!" was a clever way for Prince Adam to turn into He-Man because Skeletor had somehow(I don't remember) made the magic of greyskull flow backwards or something.

Ok, I just proved my age, I'll be quiet now.

Due to too frequent alcohol abuse in my later life, all I remember is Skeletor drooling a lot, wich led me to believe that drooling was scary
Anybody remember JEM?

Heh, never heard of that, but then I'm not much into anime(or at least, I wasn't back then).

Batman and Robin(West & Ward), you bet. Speedy Gonzales(andale! andale! arriba! arriba!) was a blast. Hmm... oh yeah, and who could forget, "Mighty Mouse is on the way! Here I come to save the day!"

Oh yeah, reminiscing. All we need now is a set of rocking chairs and a few full pints to drain away the hours...

Mr. Chill_rx,

Relax. If you haven't read this whole thread, please do so. You will notice that I already asked Mr. MK to calm down a bit and to start consolidating his posts, as he has gone a bit hog wild. Mr. -LethaLGraphiX- also pointed out that MK is young, and MK appologized for his exuberance. The matter should be let go.

My personal feeling is that we should help new people to the boards learn to become better posters, rather than yell at them or dismiss them out of hand. Some of them just might make contributions that we would otherwise lose if we simply run them off with rudeness.

Something to think about.

Thanks.

Stark is right. You're welcome here MK

Lethal, when did Digimon come up? A Chao is a little...thing that you raise on Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. Any Sonic Fan would know that. If I can put an arvatar on my posts I could show everyone what a Chao is. I have sprites of me, Champ, and Champ Jr.
