Hello once again folks. We return with more revelations and pontifications on your voting in this census. Will you all continue to disappoint me? Will you amaze us all and spontaneously develop good taste? We'll have to see.
Before we get down to it though, some recently discovered video explains why Shlup failed to vote in the census.
Cat typing - YouTube
Or at least I like to imagine that's why she didn't vote. It beats having the image of her being a lazy slob who can't type out a few words on the keyboard. Actually, if I had asked that cat to vote we might have gotten more of an entry out of them.
Now then, on to the next category:
Favorite Normal Battle Theme
It's just as well that I delayed this since it flows well with the theme of the day. That theme being songs to kick ass to. It will also go well with kicking all of your asses when you all inevitably pick the wrong songs.
Coming in first we had Man With the Machine Gun with 7 votes. I'm not overly pleased to see FFVIII win anything, but at least if you guys had to vote for it you voted for one of the two songs on the soundtrack that doesn't completely suck. I'l give you all the benefit of the doubt that that could indicate some amount of hearing ability on your parts and that it was not simply random chance, since the odds of each of you picking one of those two songs at random are only 1/37, and frankly I don't think anyone here is that lucky, as evidenced by the fact that you're all still here.
In second place we had Fighting from FFVII with 5 votes. Now this I can live with. FFVII's soundtrack was utterly smurfing amazing throughout, even if playing the damn thing is as much fun as having the condom break during casual sex with your ex. But most people never really seem to give it the credit it deserves because it was made with blatantly midi sounds which are "inferior" in some way to the better (but honestly, still tit) samples used in later soundtracks. But you know what I say to those people? Go back to flinging your own poo at eachother, picking the lice out of eachothers hair, and voting for Man With the Machine Gun. The rest of us are trying to have a civilization here.
Rounding out third place we have Don't Be Afraid (FFVIII) and the FFIV Battle Theme with 4 votes each. FFIV is certainly cool so 4 of you will be welcome in my survival shelter when the zombie and/or robot apocalypse comes. To those of you who voted for Don't Be Afraid, I've heard worse songs, but you still voted for FFVIII. You're still welcome to come, but if we need meat shields or food, we're going to remember how you voted.
Now what did you all have to say about your choices?
I may not care for anyone voting for FFVIII, but you know what? When anyone's reaction to a song is wanting to grab a machine gun and go shoot some werewolves there's really only one thing that can be said: smurf yeah!Originally Posted by Remon
One person voted for Mystic Quest. Shame on all of you. Shame on me too, but mostly on all of you, and MOSTLY on Fynn. Your first FF was Mystic Quest and you forgot to vote for it's awesome battle theme? I'm starting to wonder if Shlup really is the biggest failure around here...
Nope, she definitely is. There's really no competition there.
We'll have to end it there for now. I thought I'd have time to get through two this morning but damn it takes a long time to type these out. Maybe I could get Shlup to not write one or two and save me some time?
I should be able to carve out enough time later on to finish off today's battle theme with best boss theme, and best final boss theme. So until then, listen to Dancing Mad on repeat. Because if you voted anything else for favourite final boss theme then you may not want to show your face around here anymore.
Here are the full results for battle theme, bracketed comments are always Wolf's though I may share his sentiment on occasion:
