Stay awhile, and listen.

When you're a heavy favorite and you're up against trash, your job is to go out there and take care of business. Bowser did just that, and in about 5 seconds he and Phoenix Wright teamed up for their predictable 1-2 finish to settle things down for the day. I guess if you wanted to go full throttle for the EPIC DUEL we were seeing the third place here you could, but why bother? There are more important things to worry about.

Seeing Phoenix Wright advance in any contest is always fun with him being the Board 8 mascot, but the main thing to watch here was whether or not Bowser had a shot against Luigi next round. That was a meaningful match, because with those two splitting all the Nintendo votes, there was a very real threat Liquid would scoot by them both, resulting in only one advancing. If you take the 2007 stats seriously, Luigi was a 55-45 favorite. Based on round 1 in this contest.... who really knows? They both did about what we expected, though one could maybe argue Luigi disappointed a bit. Only actually seeing the match in round 2 would give us any answers.

On a personal note, Deckard Cain and Geno are characters I just love, from games I love even more. It's rare to get a 4way poll where you adore everyone involved, so it was nice to see. I'm still holding out hope against hope Geno will be playable in Smash one day. No one ever actually said spirits deconfirm someone!

And screw everyone involved in the writing of Cain's character in Diablo 3. "Stay awhile and listen was annoying" my ass. Piss off, Jay Wilson. You ruined the Diablo franchise, and your company is the worst in the history of video games. It's so nice that people are finally seeing what I've always known about Activision-Blizzard. They are <i>trash.</i>

Oh, sorry, we're time traveling to the future in 2020 again. Back to 2008! :)
