Anyone else catch this little Castlevania reference in the most recent issue of Pathfinder?
Yup! I did! It's awesome! ^_^
Also:
Wicked issue guys, I love the Umbral Dragon! Though I do have a question as well. A lot of the monsters in this issue have 'elite' next to their names. What does this mean?
Yay! Thanks Gene! This is totally one of my favs. As for elite. It just means that their stats are based off the elite array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) and they get a +1 CR bump. Check out page 290 in the MM and the chart on page 294 for details.

Well I should hope you caught it. Isn't it your job to catch things? :p

Man, I so should have known that (doh!). Thanks much for the clarification. :)

Damn. I don't have this issue yet, but whoever put that in has forever won my heart and however many more I can get from other people(by hook or crook).

Well it helped that I also wrote it. :P
And Mikaze, I suspect you'll be pelased with Scarwall. It's VERY Castlevania.

Does that mean there are potions and holy water and such hidden in the candles if you break them?

Oh yeah, that issue can't get to me fast enough. Time to break out the soundtracks; "Bloody Tears" will be getting some play during that session.

If there isn't, I'm definitely planting one earlier in the campaign.

Maybe those hidden items will help ease the pain and frustration the players feel when they get knocked off those moving platforms by the vargoille swarms again and again.
You know, its funny, because the more you talk about this, the more it reminds me of my long ago misspent youth and trying to figure out what all of the monsters in the first few installments would be D&D terms.

OMG, that's a HOT idea. Awesome.

That what I spend most of my days doing. ^_~
I figure you folks will enjoy this:
http://www.virtualnes.com/It's a site that lets you play old NES games on your PC without having to resort to an emulator. They have Castlevania 1 and 2 on there. Sadly not 3, though. *tear*
Dr. Chaos? Ducktales? Low G-Man? Legendary Wings? SHADOWGATE!? Hellz Yeah! You're my hero Gene! ^_^
Further to the rescue!
Control MK ... use it with a xbox360 controler (or whatever controller you prefer) to emulate the keyboard functions and use a controller like the olden days of yore!
works on every emulator I've tried.
The 360 setup I use is
x axis- VK_LEFT
x axis+ VK_RIGHT
Y axis - VK_UP
y axis+ VK_DOWN
BUTTON 0 VK_X
BUTTON 1 VK_ RETURN
BUTTON 2 VK_Z
BUTTON # VK_RCONTROL
works like a charm

Glad you like. :D
If you enjoyed Shadowgate (amazing game by the way) I recommend Uninvited. It runs off the same engine but it takes place in 'modern' day. I found it to be a LOT harder than Shadowgate. Shadowgate had better music, though.
also if you use firefox
After downloading go to the tools menu of your browser and start it. it will give you a list of games and when opened will start them in a new window.
Sadly, neither of these have the best game ever invented...which is mike tysons punchout.
One that I know of does and I will search for the link... cannot remember.
This one and the other both work via browser.

Yep! (Those who might one day play "Curse of the Crimson Throne", no clicky.)
And yep, "Shadowgate" and "Uninvited" were/are both incredibly cool. I liked "Deja Vu" too, and have it for Game Boy Color. Wish my DS could play it along with Game Boy Advance cartridges, but oh, well. Also wish I could find "Shadowgate" for GBC and that they'd have released "Uninvited" for the same. I'm waiting for these on Wii Virtual Console....

Some people are still bothered by the supposed nightfare fuel Uninvited exposed them to during their childhood.
While looking for that I tripped over something else Shadowgate-related and was reminded that I haven't been to Overclocked Remix recently. If you're feeling nostalgic for music from the 8-bit/16-bit days, it's WELL worth checking out(albiet a bit less easy to navigate than it used to be).

Hehe, I loved that chick. :p
'Course, that's what I get for having a dad that made me watch Stephen King's It when I was like six. Though, come to think of it, I liked that movie too.

Eh? My DS plays GBA and original GB games. Is this because I have the old OMG-this-thing-is-huge model?

Yeah. I've got the newfangled DS Lite. I would've muscled the extra ounces if I knew I'd still be able to play my GBC games.
Wow - all this time I've been lementing that I had the big chunk of plastic DS and not the DS Lite. That's too bad that it doesn't have the cartridge slot.
And who wouldve expected that a poster with the avatar name Golbez would be a classic gaming fan. ;-)

FF VI for DS... available in 9 days, heheheh. I'm working ahead on my battle mats for "Seven Days to the Grave" today and through the next week so that I'm ready to go with those in the fall; my remaining summer vacation days will be accounted for soon.

Hellz Yeah! Never would have guessed that you liked that one Golbez. :P

GLEE. I've been on a mission to collect the Final Fantasy games for my DS. Now I'll have something to play on the flight to GenCon! Woohoo! :D

What?!?! Didn't I just buy that for the GBA? Any new content in the DS release?
I swear to god, I own every single rerelease of every single FF game that has come out. A rational person may ask whether I really need a copy of a 91 game for each of the NES, the PS1, and the GBA.
Luckily for Square/Enix, I am not so bound by the limits of rational behavior.

Actual remake this time around, like the DS version of Final Fantasy III. 3D models, some voice acting, etc.

Ack. Thanks for the info. That means I have to buy it or suffer the effects of a terrible curse! NOOOOOO!!!
Edit: Hey! This is FFIV, not FFVI!!!

Eh, at this rate that one will be getting the same treatment soon enough.
For now though, I'm actually letting myself get hyped for this one. As much as I love VI, I still can't help but consider IV my Final Fantasy.
And hopefully that line will surface in this version too.
