Today's article is a review of Disgaea 2. I liked it, although I didn't think it was as good as the original. I don't have any more games to review for the PS2 unless I decide to try FFX-2 again. But I'll wait until I'm really bored to try and get into that again.

Today's article is a review of Knights in the Nightmare. Despite it not being the kind of game I'd typically choose for myself, I really like it.
I should probably change "today's article" to "this month's article" considering how often I get a chance to update the site. I've been very busy with an exciting project; a quest generator that creates dynamic content. It's basically the RPG version of Mad Libs, where you write a paragraph but replace all of the key words with variables, and the quest generator pulls out words in the database based on what variables you chose.
My job was first, to populate the database, and second to create all the quests and events using the quest generator. The database has about 12,000 records, and I've written about 75 quests. Both have been equally time consuming, and you have to be very careful about how you add words to the database so that the words are only eligible to be picked when you want them to.
But despite all the hard work, the quest generator is amazing in scope and works very well. We are hoping to debut the generator on a Facebook game next year.
