Ok, that's fine. the number one thing I was most miffed about is the lamp thing, and how you don't need it to finish the game. THAT was my point. As for Matthew, how could one prove an opinion wrong? I think his opinion is absurd, but it's not WRONG. I never said it was wrong, he can believe whatever he wants. But like I said before, I really don't care about that. MY main issue has now been settled. > Because he isn't. And I still haven't heard of a way around the coin puzzle, > but I might be wrong again.

I was calling RW, the games designer, an imbecile. And from what background are you basing this on? You may not like her work, but I STILL think calling her an imbecile is very inappropriate. I think we should go over what imbecile means. > To make my > point clear: Thyago (and that would be me), the driver, is an imbecile.

I would call you inexperienced. Perhaps you really should look up what imbecile means. imbecile :- 1. a feeble minded person, 2. a stupid person (Webster's Dictionary) Now how does calling Roberta "feeble-minded" or "stupid" in any way prove your point? The word obviously makes no suggestions about her talent, only her brain. Talentless, I accept, because it's an opinion. I will not argue with you on that, for that would be moot. But anyway, let's just halt the topic. I think we have come to some sort of agreement at this point, so lest not carry on. I personally agree 100% anyway that KQ6 is WAY heavily cliched. If it were a Disney movie, the muslim minorities would be having a fit over Alhazred. Raymond > Thyago S.
