I love how eager the crow is to get in on the opportunism.

I got more of a LotR vibe from the GIF than I did Final Fantasy.

Your soul isn’t erased when it goes to the void. You kind of suffer there for eternity. They mention it in a later episode.

Multiple people die simultaneously all the time (not only as a fact, but also noted in the show). For instance, in the Death Arcade episode, the two characters that died had nothing to do with one another in their lives. There are many other bars beyond Quindecim and Viginti

People call Sam Wilson as Captain America, Captain Falcon, right? That’s a thing, isn’t it?

No one should expect a prominent politician to be qualified to give good parenting advice, or to be a good parent themselves (as evidenced by wave after wave of jerk kids). These people put their professions and ambitions first and foremost before their families.

I imagine the other reason veterans came back was due to updated character models.

I don’t know how smartphone games could possibly outpace consoles or PCs, but I guess that’s just me. Personally I find trying to play games on my smartphone to be an infuriating experience (in part due to my fairly large hands).

EB Games Canada is not so well equipped. :(

Somewhat related note - still on the lookout for that damn GCN controller adapter and no luck. It’s May 2015 - come on!

The chances of us getting another one are approximately 3722 to 1.

This was my thinking as well. I imagine longtime Japanese FF fans have been so used to turn-based mechanics and having the time necessary to plot out tactics, that having to do everything in real time is a bit jarring. In the case of Westerners, I think most of us are more familiar with hacking and slashing with our…

Random question for anyone who can answer this:

Of course the door is closed; that’s why I want to open it!

Braking would have been as effective in terms of solely putting the next player ahead of him, but using the peel minimizes the potential gap that he would have to regain in order to retake first place after the blue shell hits.

I’m good with this list. I also hate those mosquito dudes and the summoned minions of the bell women (who just take more hits unless you’ve gone out of your way to kill her).

I think if you use the wooden shield while approaching them, your frenzy meter won’t increase (since you’re blocking your vision with the shield). Who knew that thing had a decent use?
