Not exactly the interpretation of that clue that I was going for, so I'll make it easier (please, someone get the connection soon!)

CLUE: People frequently ask questions about this game.

The anagram is either an author to a successful Japanese game and/or franchise (ie. Mario, Metroid, Final Fantasy, etc.), or the author of a successful calc game. I don't know much about either, though I suspect it is the former.

As for the frequently ask questions about this game thing, methinks it has to do with a game FAQ. Anyone know any popular FAQ's about successful games that are headed by a Japanese dude?

Edit: I just noticed that this is the first thread to receive the status "hot". Not that it matters...

The person isn't Japanese, but if you want the country it'll be the last clue...
*cheers for having a hot topic* It burns my fingers!

lol this board just get like 3 more posts per day than before I came back on Omni in July 2007

because most people are waiting for the old board to come back

I give up on the anagram now

It could be a game i never heard of or a game that I never played since i dont pay much attention to the gaming world ;.;

Is it a game that, when playing, people in the game frequently ask you questions? Is that what you were trying to get at?

Radical Pi · « **Reply #36 on:** January 13, 2008, 12:47:00 pm »

No; that clue's purpose was to direct you to the website that would make reference to the letter L, which is directly connected to the unscrambled anagram when you look at "L" in the right way. Delnar_Ersike is probably the closest then, with his last post. So close that no one can see it...

CLUE: \"Every hero has a story...\"
CLUE: I get questions asked about this game frequently.
CLUE: java exploit yen
CLUE: My last clue was an anagram...
CLUE: The anagram I gave is a name.
CLUE: The person whose name was anagrammed in another clue created a very successful video game.
CLUE: People frequently ask questions about this game.

lol, so this is going to be a clone of a classic? or a clone of another of his games? blubb-blubb lol... I could be wrong though, it could be coincidence that this guy's name fits the anagram, but the other oddities are too convincing.

Spoiler: click to toggle

tetris, knight moves?

Liazon's got it for the most part, congrats to him!
The anagram was of Alexey Pajitnov, creator of the world famous Tetris.

I'm sure it isn't much of a surprise that I LOVE platformers. My attempts at a Super Mario remake (that I've just about disbanded for now, sorry VBSMB fans!), my still strong obsession with JC's PixelMan game (the original glitchy version that no one can beat except me ^.^), the several hours I've logged on old SMB games newly released to the Wii's virtual console... I'm a platformer nerd.
Thus it wasn't long until I wanted yet again to take my chances at making another platformer, but this time a completely original one.
Also, around this time, I was active on the forums of gameFAQs.com, a site for Frequently Asked Questions on games. And it just happened to be the time that the site was hosting its Sixth Annual Character Battle: every day another batch of popular video game characters is put in a poll to move to the next round. It was expected that Link would win yet again... but somehow, a small yet well known character managed to take first place: the L-Block from Tetris!

Every hero indeed has a story. Soon you shall all witness the epic story of L-Block - platformer style...

So let me get this straight... you're making a platform game (IE mario style) using the "L" block from tetris? LMAO, that has to be the most absurd (yet intriguing) idea I have heard in a long time. Defintley looking foward to seeing what type of obstacles and enimies "L" will have to overcome in his(or her?, its?) adventures.

Radical Pi · « **Reply #41 on:** January 13, 2008, 11:29:00 pm »

I'm looking forward to it too. Part of the fun will be taking aspects of Tetris and transmorphing them for this game. Disappearing platforms, anyone?

And just for simplicity, L-Block will be a he.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #42 on:** January 14, 2008, 12:00:00 am »

lol nice idea, I cant wait for the result

dinhotheone · « **Reply #43 on:** January 14, 2008, 12:15:00 am »

sounds interesting. i would not have thought to put tetris and mario together. i guess someone made pac attack on hte n64 which was tetris and pacman so putting 2 unlike retro games together to get something else isnt impossible. i look foward to this game

That's the exact kind of thing i was thinking

. Disappearing platforms, Blocks that can fall from the sky and crush you, false platforms that drop out underneath you ect. This definitley has some interesting possibilities.
*edit* This made me remember the episode of captin n the game master when they went to tetris land. ^_^
