First, you need to define what a "Hybrid" is, specifically what types of hybridization you are looking for. and RPG is really, for all intents and purposes, progressive development of a character. Lots of different genres have included RPG elements, even though they aren't necessarily styled as RPG-hybrids. For example, Dark Messiah is a FPS with a talent-tree of sorts. System Shock 2 has hitpoints, energy, and an array of psi-talents that translate easily as "magic". Unreal Tournament 2004 has a fantastic mod that gives you RPG stats for just about every facet of your character, including passive abilities. In all these examples, RPG elements are sprinkled to varying degrees in the game. But does that make them FPS-RPGs? That's a matter of semantics. So, the point is, clarify what you want... stoopidhead.

(My email isn't working. Thank you very much, grass-roots hosting!) I read over the VGmix3 manifesto, and I'm supremely impressed with the ambition and features. As for people not gelling with the RPG theme... consider, if but for a moment, what the site's goal is: a tightly-knit community of VIDEO GAME REMIXERS. If you ain't down with elixers and MP in that group, there is NO fucking safe haven for the geek-within. Even though I haven't touched a remix in a year (hell, that World of Warcraft 'mix is the last thing I posted, and it's literally coming up on its one-year anniversary), I can feel that old familiar remixin' feelin' a-comin' over me. Godspeed you Black Virt! GET TO ZEE CHOPPAH AND GIT ME SOME JELLO PUDDING, CLAIRE! p.s. Virt posting on OCR!? THE END DAYS

Put my shit back up, cuz it makes me feel like a big man http://www.thewingless.com/deep

In that case: I have found a secret recording of what Darkesword has been doing since his retirement from the boards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbvP7dT3Dx0

I'll take it from here, fellas! Welcome to OCR! There's the door, get your no-talent cracker ass outta here.

Those of you attending Magfest: I humbly apologize for not being able to attend. But I do request one small favor: Please, please do not pat Pixietrick's sweet, milky-white bottom. That's for me when she gets back stateside. Thank you for your time and consideration. --John "The Wingless" Burnett

Second City. Improv Olympic. Go to our top restaurants. I highly recommend Tru, though it costs somewhere in the order of $150 per person or so.

Sorry for going off-topic, but it must be said! +280k for the goddamn Jedi Knight boyscout motto from Kotor?! You gotta be out of your Negroid mind!

All hail Pretzel. He hath SLAIN unmod, and all who dwell within it

moreliek o kewl i get 2 be-cum a judge.

yes. Heaven forbid we should call someone out on the intertubes. By the way Arek... YOU ABOUT TO GET FUCKED TOO, AS WELL, ALSO!!

I'm outright dismissing the initial post, which is vague, stupifyingly terse, and beyond all other things, is just plain infuriating. Any topic that has the inmitigated gaul to demand a explanation into a phenominon we all get needs to be flamed. What makes this post doubly insulting is that I've read that Everything Bad is Good For You essay. It's talking about World of Warcraft, and to a greater extent, MMORPGS. If you had put *that* in the topic and asked for some kind of discussion, well, that would've been find and dandy! Instead, you became FUCKED... by ME. I will punch you through these tubes, dood. Swear to Vishnu.

My father once recommended me a book, whose title escapes me. After muddling through the first chapter, I put it down. My father returned some time later and asked for my thoughts on the book. I replied, "It's a pretty boring book." To which my father replied, "Could be. Or, you could just be a boring person." The point is, the fact that these games quote: confuse, frustrate, and disorient you could simply be because you are a confused, frustrating, and disorienting person. Ergo sum: maybe you're just a quintessential moron. Seriously, what halfrate fuckwit cocksneeze dreamt up this flame-bait topic? shut it down. SHUT IT DOWN, FOREVER.

My mom: a $300 Bananna Republic coat with a $200 Bananna Republic gift certificate. Plus Trekkies 1 and 2. My dad: A flight stick, Flight Sim 2004 and Silent Hunter III My little Sister: Elite Beat Agents. Animal Crossing. A book on Calligraphy, a calligraphy pen. A book on making celtic knots. A book on drawing faces. Two blank, unlined books (think very detailed and archaic like a Myst linking book). Midway's User Interfaces have been good to me, so I have returned the favor in kind.

That'll teach you to be a homosexual during Christmas!

When James Brown dies, he sends a ripple of funk through the universe, leaving destruction in his wake.

FF12 Guitar Hero 2 Bully A book on Interface Design (?) A book on advanced AI logirthms (!!) I make sure to tell my loved ones POINT-BY-POINT what I want, though sometimes they get all adventurous and get me *cough* The Atari Anthology for my ps2 and a subscription to PC gamer, inspite of this little thing called the internet. I bought myself some stupid expensive Ralph Lauren polos (cause I"m a filthy Richer) and I"ll be snagging up that Zelda Twilight Manlove come the morning. Happy Holidays from Wingless' Corporate Headquarters to all of you!

Fuck unmod. I WANT IT DEAD. DO YOU HEAR ME PRETZEL? DEAD!

Can I just sig everything you've ever written? you used to sig me, you cocksneeze

BOXOFF!!!

ENDER'S GAME other books become somehow obsolete afterwards.

You and your charming wife should take me back out for some more oil-fried grease served up by a man with 5 of his original ??? teeth.

My and Bladiator will never forgive you fat fucks for the worst time in our collective lives. We both wish death upon you and your kin.

Nobody has yet enticed me, nor told me how this is heterosexual! Appease me!
