Re: Three Kingdoms / Monkey (was ACF)

Actually, I own Romance of the Three Kingdoms 6,
and it's in English. Pretty good game, too.


Which is, of course, pretty close to the ultimate in
fraudulent knowledge: getting a Chinese lit question due to
knowledge of the video game based on the book. And it's
happened at least three times I can think of, too... of
course, KOEI is also responsible for causing me to guess
"Nobunaga" on any question regarding 16th-17th century
Japanese history, which is only a good thing when it
actually is Nobunaga. Now, if only someone came out with a
Henry James video game...

And since when was
Journey to the West not an acceptable answer? I mean, any
book featuring a supernatural Taoist monkey is okay
with me... I've written the question myself. (Though I
seem to recall it was edited to the end of the
pack.)

--Erik Nielsen, BUCB

--Nielsen does not speak for
the remainder of the BUCB, who for all I know may
have read Romance of the Three Kingdoms from cover to
cover, may have never been known to guess "Nobunaga" on
anything, and may actually rather dislike supernatural
Taoist monkeys... nah, that's simply not possible.
Actually, I'm a bit tired and less than lucid, so let's say
the post might not necessarily reflect my own
opinions either.
