He can now literally do three tasks at the same time. <br /><br />2029: Chet's processor is upgraded with dream-interaction capabilities. He can now literally play games in his sleep. <br /><br />June 2035: Chet has now finished playing every CRPG ever made. New releases are infrequent, and he really doesn't see the point of reviewing new games anyway. <br /><br />August 2035: Chet returns to blogging, having been unable to overcome his addiction. At first he considers replaying old games, but finally caves, and admits he saw this day coming and has learned Japanese, begins blogging every JRPG and console RPG ever.

You see this in other Japanese PC RPGs like Digan no Maseki and Legend of Heroes 1&2 -- the majority of the screen is taken up by status boxes and static images, leaving only about 1/3-1/4 of the screen that actually needs to be actively modified.<br /><br />Congrats on 250 games; I just started game 7 on my own blog and I see how much work this takes!Kurisuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132568197501054206noreply@blogger.com
