<sigh> Everybody knew this in the 80s. Everybody. It barely rated on the scale of “secrets” because it was so well-known. It was at least as well-known as the Konami code.

OK, so, I live in Syracuse. I don't care about the Mets because I grew up in Westchester and am not an idiot so of course I am a Yankees fan. But I can say this: for years the local AAA team was a farm for the Nationals. Strasburg and Harper both came through here, very briefly, and the organization never once made an…

Ecco the Dolphin for (I think) Sega Genesis

I believe this mystery is best addressed by “the Last Action Hero.”

1) If you grew up playing IV on SNES and are an American, then you wouldn’t have been able to get the Cockatrice summon. They dummied it out on FFIIUS for no good reason (much like DK Cecil’s “Dark Wave” attack).

And y’know how Wakka is surprisingly entertaining when compared to pretty much every other voice actor in the game? It’s because he’s John DiMaggio - Bender from Futurama and Jake from Adventure Time.
