Hobusu: One time I was talking with my mom about how as a kid I loved the Pokemon TCG but now I realize there are a lot of problems with both its gameplay and business model, then as I started talking about how I'd go about making a card game based on Pokemon I stopped and just said "This is Kongai, I've just invented Kongai"
Sirlin: nice. I also invented Kongai, so that's two of us.
(david sirlin literally designed kongai)

short version: google translate's instant translation feature translates ANYTHING in front of it into the language you select, EVEN if the language it's translating from already IS that langauge.
the results are hysterically funny (CW food displayed in the pictures)
Her eyes were entrancing and I made no effort to struggle as she coiled around me.
Instead I sang a song about the stars at dawn, and how she shimmered just as heavenly - I didn't come up with it myself. I remembered it from a wandering bard, but it was appropriate.
The lamia swayed to my voice, entranced in turn; her coils tightened slightly, not wanting to let go.
"You're a strange lady," she said, "But I want to keep you."
"Likewise."
(and so do the heroes)
(and then halfway through the game instead of playing the heroes, you play as the BAD GUYS and find out THEIR stories)
no but really I ... I dunno if I can keep going with FF5. ^^; The story is really not great. It's... it doesn't take itself seriously enough when it should, and then it goes right back around and treats itself far TOO seriously when it has absolutely no right to.
I mean, I'm definitely not playing it for the gameplay. I find the random encounters aggravating and tiresome in JRPGs. I know more or less how this ends anyway, so... meh. Might skip onto 6.
FF5A spoilery and rambling
Krile: "This tower... it's an illusion made by Exdeath! I must dispell it!"
Everyone: "... ?? Well if you're sure it's an illusion"
Galuf's Spirit: "Yo buddies, since we're all dead-"
Kelgor: "I'm not yet!"
Kelgor's Spirit: "lol nm. whatup broskis"
Galuf's Spirit: "-My granddaughter needs help breaking an illusion"
Spirits together: "KAMEHAMEHAAAA"
Illusion: *isded*
me, now seeing the castle is made of flesh: "AAAH PUT IT BACK PUT IT BACK PUT IT BACK"
