It’s pretty simple, but pretty genius. He replaced probably all the sound effects in the game with his own voice emulating the sounds! This has to be one of the funniest things to happen to games since you were allowed to rename your own RPG characters.

In all fairness, Tidus was probably the biggest Twat in Squaresoft.

Funny random story: In grade 3 I got in trouble from the computer teacher because I renamed my characters in Oregon Trail. I would have got away with it if Butt didn’t happen to get Typhoid as she was walking by. Mrs. McKenzie gave me a total sassing for this and then told me I wasn’t allowed to play Oregon Trail until I started taking it seriously. Mr. Golding on the other hand, was the greatest computer teacher ever! He was only around for the first couple of years I was at Banting, but that was because he was covering for Mrs. McKenzie who was on a leave of absence. In our last computer class, he told us to be nice to Mrs. McKenzie because she was an evil witch coming back from prison.

I didn’t believe it, but I was thoroughly convinced when she banned me from the Oregon Trail. Only a true fiend would do something like that.

    this blog entry made me laugh… at least a dozen times. not only does your writing recall the true essense of oregon trail (randomly DYING of typhoid), but it also sheds light on the young redford and lets me see that you probably haven’t changed one bit since you were young (at least not in the smart-ass wise-cracks area) hahaha.

    Someone else remembers the prehistoric computer lab days. Golding kinda creeped me out for some reason, maybe it was because he was so white with blond hair? McKenzie however, I sensed was a bit of a witch from the start, unless my memory’s fabricating its own memories again.

    I don’t even remember how Golding looked like, just he was super nice and let us do whatever. Mrs. McKenzie was pure evil though, hahaha!

    And no Matthew, I haven’t changed. All my old report cards say that I should put my energy to more positive use :)
