Before you ask/tell me something about the site, please make sure the question isn't answered here, and you follow the guidelines to sending me an E-Mail.

Q: What are some of the guidelines for writing an E-Mail?
A: #1 - Make sure you put "CK.com" in the title. Though I have G-Mail now and it takes care of a lot of spam for me, some it gets through. "CK.com" is a surefire way to show me it's actually something worthwhile.

#2 - Make it legible. I can't read "1337 5P33IC", so don't write it in that. Try to get the grammer as good as you can. Please write in English - I haven't studied Spanish in years. For Japanese, I can read the Hiragana and Katakana characters, a handful of Kanji, and some very basic sentences. You'll be lucky to get two words of any other language out of me.

#3 - Just be polite. You flame me, and I'll throw your mail in the trash. If you're rude, but not flaming me, I'm not particularly nice in the response.

#4 - Not sure if you should send it to me? The general rule is "If I didn't ask for it, I don't want it" but there are exceptions. Interesting information on something in my site I appreciate any time, whether or not I specifically asked for it. On the other hand, I don't care about what movie you and your boyfriend/girlfriend saw last Saturday.

#5 - For the love of all that is cute and cuddly, please do NOT put me in your Address Book. There's no real reason for you to put me in your address book, and it helps stop the spread of worms.


Q: How come you haven't answered my E-Mail?
A: I try to check my email every day, but there are some three main reasons I don't respond:

One possibility is I simply don't find a reason to respond.

There's also the possibility that I never even received it. I don't check "Codiekitty@e-garfield.com" anymore, and if you didn't put "CK.com" when you sent it to Gmail I probably deleted it.

Third and most embarassingly, I meant to respond, but my scatterbrain caused me to forget and it's ten days later and I'm not sure if I should respond.


Q: When is the site updated?
A: Lately I've been trying to update every ten to fifteen days, but that isn't cast in stone. Sometimes I get too busy and forget to prepare something, or I just need a little extra time to prepare something and don't feel like doing a Bestiary update, so don't think I've abandoned the site if sixteen days go by without an update.


Q: I thought I read such-and-such on a certain page, and I don't remember this being there. Am I going nuts?
A: Probably not. I often go back and edit pages, rephrasing things I found better ways to write or fixing typos and other errors, but don't bother to mention anything in the updates unless I, say, rewrite the whole thing, or I'm updating with information that was sent in to me.


Q: If I were to make a multi-chapter comic series like the ones you have, would you host it?
A: No. Please use your own Geocities or Tripod or whatever site for that.


Q: Do you have AIM?
A: While I do have AIM, I have everybody but the people on my Buddy List blocked. Blame that guy with a million and one accounts who kept spamming me. And the truth is, I sign on AIM pretty sparingly. There's no reason you can't E-Mail me about something.


Q: Are you a furry?
A: I've been told several times that if you don't know what a furry is, you probably aren't one. I've had the concept of a furry explained to me several times, and I still don't really know what it is.


Q: Do you have a message board?
A: No, and I can't say I want one. You can catch me at the FlyingOmelette.com message boards, usually as either "TaroSH", or "Captain Ladd Spencer", but occaisonally "KazuoSH" and "pOrn Sigma". I have a few other names, but I only use them for being goofy. I don't post as "Codiekitty" because of some lost password stuff and all.


Q: How can I link to you?
A: My URL is "http://www.codiekitty.com" If you use text links, just label the link "Codiekitty.com". If you want to use buttons, here's a few that I whipped up in about three minutes each. Just save the one you like the most to your own server as whatever name you want, and use it to link it to my site.



Q: Why do you hate Earthbound?
A: For the record, I don't really hate it, more like have a mild distaste for it. As for why I didn't care for it...

1. I thought the game was kind of boring.
2. I had the most annoying thing happen to me while playing this game. I made it to the final boss and was struggling against him, so I thought I'd get some bottle rockets. Well, as it turns out you're screwed if you save in the final area (to any developer reading this: points of no return suck, either don't put them in your game or tell us we're entering one so we can make another save!). So I replayed the ENTIRE game and made sure to stock up on bottle rockets before taking him on... to find out he was immune to them.
3. I thought the game was WAY too focuses around Ness. I mean, it almost made it seem like everybody was just some lacky to help Ness gain world fame. Of course, I've always been the one to like the "understudy" or other supporting character more than the hero or the guy everybody likes. I like Luigi more than Mario. I like Tails more than Sonic. I like Ky more than I like Sol (although I like Anji best out of all the Guilty Gear X characters). I like Tarma more than Marco, but I think everyone likes Tarma more than Marco.
4. Eye frying graphics. I normally don't mind ugly graphics as long as they're at least tolerable, but this game's actually given me a headache at times.
5. I found the music rather obnoxious (can you say "Dungeon Man"?). I don't like having to mute the TV because the music is drilling into my head like a buzzsaw. I've been known to nuke stages in Lemmings Revolution just because it gave me an annoying song, notably that one that sounds like somebody strangling a duck.
6. PEOPLE WHO FLAME ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE IT, EXPECTING THAT IT WAS GOING TO MAKE ME CHANGE MY THOUGHTS ON THE GAME OVERNIGHT! WELL, YOU SUCCEEDED, PUNKS!

But it's far from my least favorite game of all time. If I had to pick between playing Earthbound for eternity and Phantasy Star III for eternity, I'd pick Earthbound in a heartbeat (I told the guy on AIM who asked me about this that I'd choose Phantasy Star III. I must've been high on gummi worms then).


Q: If Earthbound isn't your least favorite game in the world, what is?
A: Metal Mech. If you grew up with Blaster Master like I did, you'd give it the "Least Favorite Game Ever" award too. The Game Boy Color version of Lemmings is actually a worse game, but it was still Lemmings. Metal Mech is a halfassed ripoff.
