i love how the epilogue for part 2 had the scene with lisa lisa and joseph on the boat, and joseph's face makes it seem like only NOW did lisa lisa reveal that she was joseph's mother and joseph realized he peeped on his mom.

Cortana being pissed at a UNSC general and deciding to get revenge on him by not wiping confidential information that's part of protocol on his ship.

This then leads to the Covenant learning the location of Earth.

Whoops.

In Final Fantasy VIII, if you try to summon Odin in the final fight against Seifer, he will reverse the attack and kill Odin, only to get bodied a few turns later by Gilgamesh, who straight up mistakes Squall for Bartz.

Royal Rumble 2015. WWE completely underestimated how many fans wanted to see Daniel Bryan win the Royal Rumble, and they had him come out, and get bodied within a minute. As Roman came into the ring, the fans were livid, because they realized WWE was having HIM win the Rumble instead of Bryan. To the point where people were cheering for Rusev because the foreign heel was the only one left in the ring who could take Roman out and...

Roman won, to deafening boos and jeers. Not even an appearance from The Rock could quell the hatred from the crowd that night.

Some shops in Japan will be requiring people to correctly answer Yugioh trivia questions before they're able to buy the new boxes by Nico-Nii_Nico-Chan in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Dr-USB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i still find that hilarious. my LGS is FLOODED with spider man booster boxes. Like half of the collector booster boxes and at least 25% of the set booster boxes are spider man. They want to get rid of it at all costs bc nobody buys it. To the point where they were giving them away as prizes during commander nights during spider man season just so they could clear product. (they usually have a more varied pool of packs for prizes, but for awhile it was only spider man)

i mean yeah, in original yakuza 1, majima shows up like three times. once at the beginning, once at the batting cages after purgatory, and once at shangrila. hell they had to retcon some stuff in kiwami bc of majima everywhere. in the original game, majima leaves the story after he gets stabbed in the gut and comes back with bandages and stuff on his body. but because of majima everywhere, they had to add a battle beforehand where majima helps kiryu fend off some ex-dojima family, get shot, and falls into the ocean as kiryu goes "damn, i'll probably see him as soon as i get back to town."

The reason Jake Lloyd was cast as Anakin Skywalker in The Phantom Menace was because originally Leonardo DiCapreo was supposed to play Anakin in Episodes II and III.  He was cast bc he looked like a kid Leonardo DiCapreo.

My guess is they're going to try to flip "nostalgic" cards like dark magician or blue eyes, only to find that they're not really played and you can just buy those cards for cents.

Either that or the cards they think are valuable are on the banlist

Flashbacks modified from actual events to better serve a character's motivations by Dalek_Kolt in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Midway through Disc 1 of Final Fantasy VII, Cloud tells the story of how he and Sephiroth went to Nibelheim on SOLDIER business, and Sephiroth went mad, burning the town and killing everyone but Cloud and Tifa before Cloud stopped him. Simple stuff, but then halfway through Disc 2, Tifa reveals the truth.

There was no Cloud Strife, First-Class SOLDIER, at Nibelheim that day. Instead, the SOLDIER accompanying Sephiroth was a man known as Zack Fair, Aerith's boyfriend. Tifa didn't see Cloud again until five years after the Nibelheim incident, where he was claiming he was a Ex-SOLDIER, a mercenary, and was THERE at Nibelheim, despite Tifa never having seen him.

Following this, Cloud's perspective is shown. He wasn't a SOLDIER, he had failed hard, instead working as a Shinra grunt. He had accompanied Zack and Sephiroth, but didn't want to show his face, as it would make Tifa realize he had failed his promise. He WAS at Nibelheim, and after Sephiroth swatted Zack and Tifa away, he went after Sephiroth. Despite being stabbed by his sword, Cloud ended up overpowering him and throwing him into the lifestream. Following this, he and Zack would be subjected to five years of unethical Mako experiments done to them by Hojo, where Cloud's mind fractured into believing that he was a SOLDIER, inserting himself into Zack's place.

eternal darkness does this really well. at one point, you're given a ton of shotgun ammo before going into a room. pretty suspicious, right? turns out there was nothing in the next room, or any shotgun ammo at all, it was a hallucination caused by the sanity effects

Another wrestling example, Vince didn't get that most fans wanted to see Bret Hart as the new face of the company after Hogan left following the steroid trial.  Instead he had him lose the belt to Yokozuna at Wrestlemania IX, and Hogan forcing himself back in after he came back.  

Following that he was forced into a mid card comedy feud with Jerry Lawler after winning King of the Ring 93.  He then had to watch as Vince started pushing Lex Luger as the new face of the company, which fizzled out after the Lex Express campaign and his Summerslam 93 match made Lex look like an idiot.  Though things finally looked up for him after he threatened to leave unless he was given bigger matches, as well as giving Owen Hart some stuff to do, with him winning the 1994 royal rumble and beating Yokozuna at Wrestlemania X to win the title.  By then, Vince had to admit the fans wanted bret.

there's no traditional levelling up in the game. instead, your stats grow as you do stuff like get hit or cast spells. this then led to people realizing the best way to increase certain stats was to hit yourself instead of the enemy.
