Hilariously, I never took the SAT's. My parents decided that week was going to be a fabulous time for a holiday. Fortunately, it didn't hinder my ability to continue in high school and actually obtain my GCSEs; but man was I stressing out at the time. Hard to believe that was ten years ago... *Did I...

Indeed, once bought, no-one can recharge you for something. You're entitled to the software that you paid for unless you willingly give up your rights. This is why its legal to possess ROMs as long as you have a physical copy and is also why you can claim replacement discs and suchlike. At least, as...

They're roughly equivalent and both open each others formats, so its really a question of which interface you prefer. I have WinRAR.

Actually, I've always found buying used games is like playing Russian Roulette. Sure, there's the chance it was just an unwanted gift, but there might be a hideous problem with it. Scratched disc that doesn't show up on cursory inspection or whatever. Because you can be sure as heck they don't reall...

I grew up with movies and books everywhere, and was destined to be a geek. But then, when one's parents meet at a Star Trek convention, I imagine it is almost in the blood. :D In any case, I had a surge of inspiration myself, writing chapters 4-6 of my most recent concept, Dearly Beloved. Here's the...

Due to the peculiarities of my whiskers, I can only seem to manage the unsavory end of the spectrum. Hence I'm normally religious about being cleanshaven. Surely that kitty is actually UN Kitty? I mean, its sitting in the way of a perfectly good war on that chessboard and nothing you say will get it...

It's for most things. See, oh, cartoon animals. It's only a girl if the fur is pink, it has long eyelashes, and wears a ribbon. This is also because its hard to show other more useful 'distinguishing features' without politically correct savages crying blue murder. And because people equate cartoon...

Huh... fair enough. I always seem to see 'actor X is character Y today' unless they're really, really good. Part of the reason I love Anime. Its generally much harder to distinguish voice actors, so it fools me easier. :D The movies are not too well known these days, I'd imagine, since they're all f...

As long as David Bowie doesn't show up in the book, you'll be fine. ^_^

Nine Smash with a Ballista would be horrible. But nah, no cigar. Actually, its best the other way around, doing Warrior/Ballista. This way you can get the Ballista skill that increases accuracy when using a skill and fix nine-smashes terrible hit rate. But yeah, you need to consider weapon compatibi...

<shrug> Fair enough. Multiple jumping back and forth can work very well. Like in the Time Travelers Wife, for example. Or the movie, Memento. I love a book to challenge my intellect. But then, I play Etrian because I enjoy the planning, strategy and number crunching, so meh. It's been awhile since I...

Thanks for the heads up on that. I too, would have found that out the hard way. LOL.

Yes, you can multiclass at the mid-game. As far as I'm aware, you literally gain: >> Access to all the new classes skills besides the single 'unique' one. >> Can use all of the new classes equips. Hence, using it to increase your versatility is a good idea. It also allows some sillybroken combos, so...

Oh, I wasn't implying that they'd be superior; just that was the means that it worked by. The idea was the Warrior crying because they spent so must time honing their muscles whilst a sickly Zodiac runs in and shouts 'Black Hole Blade!' and insta-gibs something. Probably a bit too much of a personal...
