I love it. You really don't think about how well those two things can mesh until you've seen it.<br /><br />I would call Rifts a mash-up, but lately I've just been thinking of it as mashed up. Rogue Trader floats it pretty well.Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927756799939592844.post-16713177880129957882010-09-10T09:23:52.055-04:002010-09-10T09:23:52.055-04:00They have this thing on our coffee machines at wor...They have this thing on our coffee machines at work called a mochaccino. It's hot chocolate + coffee. So tasty!<br /><br />Speaking of hot chocolate, check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE-l4gfiCM8Z" rel="nofollow">"Single Ladies in Mayberry"</a> on youtube for a completely different kind of mashup goodness. There are some musical mashups I don't particularly care for, like Snoop Dogg + Led Zeppelin, but many of them are pretty cool.<br /><br />FFVII was awesome. I think I took 40 hours or so to play through the main story, but I could have spent way longer messing around with all the various mini-games.

At least until FFIX, each of the different worlds fascinated me. They all make me ask the same question, "What happened here?" <br /><br />Sam, I'd be remiss if I didn't give props to Rogue Trader for being, essentially, the age of sail, in space, with macrobatteries. It's probably why mash-ups were on my mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039411081517222909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927756799939592844.post-13032735375095408602010-09-08T14:32:38.135-04:002010-09-08T14:32:38.135-04:00You sure you're not thinking of mash-ups becau...You sure you're not thinking of mash-ups because of Rogue Trader? ;-) <br /><br />I'm not saying it is, I'm just saying if you look on the front cover you see Blackbeard and his loyal crew in space. <br /><br />But honestly, I'd have a hard time choosing between that and Firefly, because that show pushes all the right buttons for me.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927756799939592844.post-3377650043754453952010-09-08T13:35:05.701-04:002010-09-08T13:35:05.701-04:00Cyberpunk mixed with Magic in Shadowrun made for a...Cyberpunk mixed with Magic in Shadowrun made for an awesome setting.
