wow not even a poll

pretty telling sign of morale

Why didn't azuarc put up a topic poll?

[ ] - because he couldn't think of one
[ ] - because he forgot to
[ ] - because polls are stupid
[ ] - because he decided to be edgy and different with this topic
[ ] - because the results of round 2 were so depressing he's on the verge of suicide and can barely muster the heart to just post the topic
[ ] - he wrote one, but it got erased by the GameFAQs system
[ ] - because his roommate is currently running TWO vacuum cleaners simultaneously and he can't think straight
[ ] - because he woke at 5 am, when he normally gets up at about 10, and he slept through that part of the topic-making process
[ ] - because the chicken crossed the road
[ ] - because I will never be this young again. Ever. Oh damn I just got older.
[ ] - because the lake is a long way from here.
[ ] - because I was very proud of my nickname throughout high school but today- I couldnt be any different to what my nickname was.
[ ] - because someone I know recently combined Maple Syrup & buttered Popcorn thinking it would taste like caramel popcorn. It didnt and they dont recommend anyone else do it either.
[ ] - because this is a Japanese doll.
[ ] - because the memory we used to share is no longer coherent.
[ ] - because everyone was busy, so I went to the movie alone.
[ ] - because he was too busy getting lines from a random sentence generator.

Results of day 49:
Battle Against a True Hero = Mystic Pendulum, 19-19
Laguerra del Mundo > Deadman falling, 23-15
benign spirit of the autoclave > Messenger, 18-17

I'm a dork who voted after 10:00 (but still within regulation) to nearly force two ties. (I decided to abstain in one because I thought both songs were terrible and I'll just be happy not to repeat that match.)

Anyway, you're welcome, Mystic Pendulum. Consider that my penance for you getting cut from the bracket last year.

Cosmic Hero > Undertale, 24-15
MAIN MEN > On the Verge of Madness - Stage 5, 21-18

First match to hit 40 votes in a while, and we had some funky abstains, too. 42 voters in all!

Also, Rivers vs Cosmic retirement match hype.

A Battle with Destiny < Sunshine Coastline, 11-26
Flash Frost = Fight Between the Wind and the Blinking Sky, 18-18
Battle Against a True Hero > Mystic Pendulum, 19-17

So if I had voted for it today, Mystic Pendulum would have still lost, and we'd still have had a tie. Freaking awesome.

Gonna hope somebody points out that I miscounted, because I was lazy and distracted tonight and very well might have screwed up that second match. If I gave one of MP's votes to BaaTH, please don't tell me.

It sucks having missed a day, especially since yesterday was a spectacular day. At least True Hero won the tiebreaker and Flash Frost had another day to live..

Sunshine Coastline > Flash Frost > A Battle with Destiny > Battle Against a True Hero >>> Fight Between the Wind and the Blinking Sky >>> Mystic Pendulum

You can now deduce my votes from it. The top 4 songs are all crammed together in about the same level of awesomeness, so it was hard actually telling the 1st apart from the 2nd, and the 3rd apart from the 4th. The last two were pretty easy even though they're not bad.

Okay, time to listen to today's songs!

Sexy fairies were making a comeback, but Hidra slammed the door shut. Azure Arb wasn't able to manage that, though, and H&D managed to even things up at the end. So yay, more ties!

We're never finishing this side bracket.
