Goofy practically saved the entire script of KHII, imo. On facepalms, I do actually facepalm. It's a talent, really, nurtured from years of gaming and my current duty position.

Goofy also ruined the villains' dignity by pronouncing its name. Nobody takes "Organizayshun Thirteen!" seriously.

[up][up][up] hey, I'm just reasoning why would they put it. there's a Justification. If that Justification is Valid (which it isn't) It's just a completely different debate.

also, Honestly KHII isn't as bad as some people say. the story is alright. but the first is the better installment (at least in story) also, Organization XIII it's not so interesting.

as for the Facepalm I do it everytime I have to walk into an Scripted trap and I know it.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

^^ That's actually one of the most powerful weapons in that game. Being called by name by Goofy is like a kiss of death.

I actually groaned and couch banged my face when Beatrix was Easily Forgiven in Final Fantasy IX, despite all the crimes she had committed (Like leading the invasion to Cleytra) and had already beaten up the heroes three times. Still a great game, but that was the only part I just hated.

[up][up] "Ish the Kheeeyblade!"

"I see. So that's a keyblade. So I suppose you must be its chosen wielder?"

"So what if I am?"

"I wonder if it won't change it's mind...once I defeat you."

-instant death the first time you fight him-

God, Donald ruins so many good moments. Sora committing suicide? Ruined. Any scene with laughter? Ruined. Singing in-wait, no, that was godawful in the first place. I hate that level.

I also facepalm a lot in II because of Sora's actions. Seriously, the kid is hopeless in that game. III needs to work on that character development.

I tended to facepalm a lot in Eternal Darkness. Actually, the part I'm in right now's a good one to reference: So I'm playing the WWI section with a guy in the cathedral and bonethieves start sprouting up everywhere. ...there's nothing stopping him from running out that church. Nothing. You go to the door and I think it says something like "There's a war out there! It's dangerous!" AND BONETHIEVES AREN'T?! AAAAAGH!!!

Also, I double-facepalm. I press the palms of both hands against my face to hide my feelings of shame from the world.

I facepalmed when Shepard wouldn't shut up about the Reapers.

There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

[up][up] It's not that Donald is a Big star. It's the fact that he's an incredible fountain off Narm, thanks too his voice

Yep, I do facepalm IRL. Also, any and all Mistaken Identity situations, be it in a movie, comic book or game (or real life) automatically qualify for one. I try to not un-facepalm until the actual moment of mistaking is over. I'm weird like that, yeah.

That one in Eternal Darkness was a pretty decent handwave. If there are bone thieves in the sanctuary where civilians are hiding from war, who's to say there are no Bone thieves outside where the war is?

I guess I'll face-arm sometimes. I tend to have my elbow on the table and I'll stick my face in the bend of my arm.

The first time controlling Liberty Lad in Freedom Force. For reference, this kid got super-strength thanks to an emergency blood transfusion from a superhero whom he'd just blocked from getting machine-gunned. That was the second mission he'd appeared in, and the second time he'd nearly gotten himself killed. The other characters decided he might actually be useful to the team, but when they went to track down the machine-gunner in question, they ordered him to stay at the base, since they didn't think he was ready. Of course, he figured he had to prove himself—without any backup whatsoever. His fight dialogue in the mission implies that you're supposed to boldly stride up and smack the living daylights out of thugs until you find one who'll tell you where the bigger thugs are hiding, but his minimal damage output and tendency to die in two hits necessarily result in a lot of backpedaling and wishing this kid would just go home. The real facepalm-worthy moment is when he sneaks aboard a truck leading to the bad guys' base, calls in their location, and then gets spotted by several well-armed thugs and nearly gets killed again before being rescued by some other heroes (not part of Freedom Force) who just happened to be attacking the base at the same time. It's a testament to the writers that I eventually started to like this guy, but this was rather a rough introduction to him.

That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something Awful
