So when I tally votes, I usually do it by which placement they are on people's votes. Sometimes interesting voting patterns emerge. I noticed that most tend to place their votes in order of chronology or importance/"lock."

In this one, The Beatles got 25/28 votes within slot #1. It wasn't until the last 3 votes where The Beatles even got a placement other than the first one.

Shout-out to the Boston voter.

Today's Parameters

You must pick voice lines from a video game.

Voice lines are defined as sound effects that are coming from a character's voice rather than environmental sound effects. These voice lines tend to be unscripted, random, and almost entirely in gameplay.

Voice lines that are set to play in certain areas but are not defined enough to be dialogue would be voice lines.

Voice lines should have a video game associated with it.

Joan's my last place!

She's not the character I hate personally the most, but she's the most "why" character. Bad design, awful gimmick, no depth, pretty large role, and just...no redeeming characteristics at all. There are characters I personally hate more, but there's at least a few things I like about them. Joan's got nothing.

I confused Selden for Duncan Ross and rated him way higher than I would otherwise. Whoops!

Not a bad last place.

I feel like some people here have listened to maybe a quarter of The Beatles discography at best.

Oh yeah, most of my experience with The Beatles is Sgt. Pepper and before, with a spattering of later songs.

The Beatles have always firmly been in pop for me and never rock.

Yeah, I really enjoy the sidequests. I like the banter between the party members during sidequests too.

Grasslands is such a good area too. I love the difference between the grassy area and the rocky area between Midgar and Kalm.

Sniffing out items as a Chocobo isn't super important unless you're trying to 100% the game. It's usually expendable items as far as I remember.

You must pick classic rock bands.

Classic rock bands can be from any era.

Bands are typically a group, but solo performances are acceptable too.

Like most music genres, there's no specific definition. A loose definition is "popular and mainstream rock music primarily during the 1960s through the 1990s. Guitar tends to be the primary instrument." See these pages for more definitions:

The easiest would probably be figuring out how to do it through Tabletop Simulator. It shouldn't be too hard. You need to make the images, a small rulebook (or even just put the rules on the Notes page), and then do a few tutorials with TTS to understand things like getting the images on the table and creating permissions.

Nibelheim is a bit messy, but I loved Cloud's performance in it.

Rebirth really feels itself once you go through Chapter 2.

Flag noise and jump noise too

Come to think of it, we do need a judge's decision on whether or not Zelda's puzzle solved sound is a jingle or not.

Good question.

Puzzle/Secret from Zelda is allowed.

All I know is that MGS Alert is a lock

My brothers kids regularly watches YouTube and Twitch streams where that sound effect goes off.

Today's Parameters

You must pick sound effects from video games.

Sound effects are defined as sound recorded to make a specific storytelling or creative point without the use of dialogue or music.

Sound effects can be of any length, but should not be long enough to be considered a song in any way.

Jingles are NOT sound effects, as they are considered to be short songs.

Sound effects do not have to originate from a video game, but it should be associated with it.

Sound effects can be from one individual game, a game series, or even cross game franchises.

Tough game to rate. On its own merits, its an Ace Attorney game so its still quite good. Enjoyable dialogue, clever murders, and great art and animations.

On a case level, almost every case has something really wrong with it. The game has multiple lowest lows in the series. At the time of playing it, it felt like several gut punches. With hindsight, its not as bad but its still not amazing. Its easier to appreciate some of the more subtle aspects. But then I see plot panties, massive logical plot issues, and the entirety of the flashback case and I cant really rate it higher.

I changed today's prompt to be Live-Action TV Villains because TV Villains was just way too broad.

It was pretty fun tallying this. It was clear what the Rushmore would be, but not necessarily the order. I was surprised Persona got the top billing: I thought it would be the last since it was competing with two other popular RPGs. I never saw it coming.
