It might just be my love of cheesy alternate universes speaking, but I would love a Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Corporation smartphone.

“But (something something Venezuela)!”

So fancy! I’m barely keeping my head above water as a part-time alchemist in Limsa.

Given depreciation, shouldn’t American cars be bought used, and Japanese cars be bought new? 

Honestly, I liked Regular Car Reviews’ version: velociraptor + Friendster

Whatever you say, Sarge.

“Robin Hood is no A Knight’s Tale.”

Picturing some frustrated engineer at the end of his shift, as the train shuts down all around him.

You get a star for the Dresden Files reference, but Greta is very definitely Queen Mab. Terrifying, immortal, but ultimately necessary for keeping the forces of all consuming destruction at bay. 

I don’t know why Saturn/Shadowrun works so well, but it really does. Especially the original SC coupe!
