So a few days ago I go visit this girl I know at her school. We're hanging out in her dorm room just talking and such, and then she turns on some music from her macbook. About 10 seconds later I hear something I haven't heard in quite awhile. It was a rap song by Wiz Khalifa but in the background was a recognizable melody from my past! Could it have been... it was! Schala's theme from good ole' Chrono Trigger was used in a modern rap song. I wasn't exactly sure how I felt about this, but without even thinking I sorta was like "Holy ****! This is from Chrono Trigger!" She didn't know what I was talking about, but I confessed my teenage love of CT and RPGs and she more or less called me a huge geeky loser.. and then she went off about her inner geeky side, and then we started making out, and immediately had sex afterword. Regardless of the fact I was visiting her with the intention of doing so anyway, I thought it was hilarious that the Zeal Princess was my wing girl in this situation. And that someone rapped over Schala's theme.
Here's the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ruDsIRM8Hk
I can't remember if most people here are more open about their nerdy side or not, but does anyone else have a story where the inner nerd allowed for a positive result in outside social interaction?
-
I made most of my geeky friends by revealing my geeky side. Does that make me a bad person?
I remember the map name of some red alert map giving me a nerd friend. And then there was some doodles in my text book and stuff like that. It made them peoples open up the inner nerd and join the nerd party.
-
Yes. Hanging around other nerds got me access into the computer labs during lunch in school. Many Diablo II orgies ensued.
-
I couldn't hide my nerd if I tried. It's been physically manifesting itself for years now.
Kind of a problem sometimes.
-
Schala got you laid?! Un-freaking-believable.
-
My near asocial behaviour prevents other people from learning that I am pretty much a nerd as well, yeah.
-
Okay, so I listened to the Wiz Khalifa song. I'm deeply, deeply conflicted. On one hand, it's rap and rap universally blows and this rap isn't all that different. On the other hand, this is SO OBVIOUSLY a Schala theme homage that that instantly makes this guy a stone-cold bassass. He's get props for putting in a recognizable video game theme at all, even more for having an old school SNES RPG, and mad mad props for picking a Chrono Trigger song and one of the best insturmentals in video game history.
I mean, damn. If I ever saw this guy, I'd hand him like fifty bucks and say "This is for being awesome."
-
Pah, it's the spirit of the thing.
-
Schala got you laid?! Un-freaking-believable.
^That.
-
I just wish I knew what Schala was. I should play CT.
A character in the game unless I'm completely screwed. The princess of the floating country, brother of Janus and daughter of Queen Zeal. Was planned to be a playable character or something but it was scrapped.
And yes. Yes you should.
-
One of the best RPG's to date, if not THE best! You definitely should try it.
-
Yes. Let's see here:
- No random battles
- Simple, yet cool characters
- Holycra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoNaBBsfa30)p awesome soundtrack
- Respectable plot
- Intuitive, easy battle system with cool bonuses like multi techs and ****
- Multiple endings
Play it stoopid.
-
Yeah, she's a late game character. She has that chill theme, is apparently one of the strongest magic users in CT's history, and is nothing but kind, sweet, and awesome to your party. The entire point of Chrono Cross, Trigger's sequel, is to deal with what happens to Schala. That's how much of a fan fav she was.
But play CT for the music if nothing else. I mean, the game's fun, fast, and enjoyable, but it has one of the hands-down best soundtracks in video game history. There's a reason Zeal and Schala's themes get remixed so much.
-
And you know, there is a remake for DS. And you know, I think I'll get it as well. I've already beat the game a few times, but well, at least I have an excuse; the DS has a new ending! And I never actually got them all... so yeah. Definitely.

Spoiler, that's the new ending.

Uh, what?
Also, I'm like, totally the only non-staff online right now!
Edit: Oh screw you fruckert!

I agree with everything that you said about the theme being used in that song Sai. And yes, never in the countless hours while playing CT time and time again did I think to myself, "Hm... one day something about this game is gonna get me sum." haha! The fact that it was Schala made it that much more awesome though that's for sure.
And yes, whoever hasn't played this game has to.
-
That Gamestop description is basically true.
And damnit Ace, I'm so envious. At some point in my life, I need to have a Schala-got-me-laid story. Even if it's pretty contrived. It's just one of those things now. You've set the bar.
-
Goddamn, you lucky sonnuvabitch.
-
DAMN. I can't believe Wiz sampled this.
Now if only he'd thought about the lyrics.
And as for my nerdy side. My nerdy side kind of mingles well with my group of friends. I have friends who love to talk about nerdy stuff and some friends who just want to get drunk. It works out in the end.
-
Pretty sure I'm a nerd all the time. Since I'm in university, most people are cool with it. Those who aren't don't matter.
Also nice veiled way of telling us you got laid.
-
I'd prefer this to the druken IMs ;)
