Ah, the power of cheese

[ReloadPsi]

Why was it called "The Power of Cheese" anyway? Because the translation was cheesy?

That is part of it, I believe. However, the title also alludes to the slogan of these commercials that were running at the time.

You could always use the (far inferior) lampoons of a few other of our members (SPOILER)shameless plug

I wish I was around for that. I totally would have participated.

I remember yours being rather entertaining, Manus.

Thanks. You'll get your Paypal notification over the coming days.

EDIT: Actually, Heath's was probably funnier

I'll have to read 'em both again then. We should do another LP

I actually managed to save the entire play through and I have it on an external hard drive. I'll be looking for a place to put it up - for now, if anyone wishes to have a copy of their own, shoot me a PM.

It includes the photos, too. I got it while it was still up.

I'll host it on Bastardly if so desired.

That is great news! I thought this was lost forever. Thanks for saving the day, Jachra.

It should have been clear from the outset that Cecil was Squall's prototype. ...What? Nevermind...

You're welcome
I couldn't let it die, and I'm glad I snagged it when I could.
Oo, a reputation point, handy.

Hey guys, I'm flattered at the effort in reviving this. Thanks.

I actually still have everything backed up on my home computer as well (including the majority of the April-fools joke episode in Japanese) but have refrained from re-upping it for various reasons. Here is a PM I sent to Jiro about it:

Ah, yes. I actually considered putting this back up on my current webspace a few times but have not done so due to the weird five-year phenomenon (in this case eight-year phenomenon):

Coding Horror: What did you write five years ago?

What I would really like to do, and have wanted to do for a while, is put this back up proper in a permanent location with 1:1 pixel screens (as opposed to the blurry, stretched godawful originals I used) and highly scrutinized and edited text (hilarious that most of the gags in the thing are about how terrible the spelling/grammar is in the translation, but I made tons of embarrassing mistakes myself). The problem is that I am now a slave to work and adult life and realistically will never have the time to do such things. I wonder if anyone would be up to the challenge?

[Citizen Bleys]

I don't think I could write jokes that match your style and would be funny enough to include.

In fact, I can think of only one person who could.

Yay it's back! This was the last thing on my EoFF Bucket List too.
