Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Every remake of a Squaresoft SNES game that didn't reuse the SNES soundtrack has inferior sound to the original, and it's because the original soundtracks were perfection. FFIV and FFV Advance I might have nostalgia for, but they're inferior to SNES.

Well, time to start a new roadmap of crosswicking edits (I was going to sponsor a TLP draft first, but unfortunately I couldn't find enough examples for a solid start. sad) This time it's all about television, literature and music! It's probably going to be the longest, but I'm excited because this will make me revisit my fond memories about so many great shows and stuff! The order of the batches is roughly based on chronology, so I'll start with the oldest things I ever saw, heard or read!

The letters in bold represent the medium they come from.

I'll start this Monday. [tup]

135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311

I have a presentation in my speech class coming up in a few weeks and I'm being reminded of the time in 7th grade when I did a presentation and one kid just kept going "hmm?" after nearly every sentence I was saying.

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.

If I ever got to making my crossover fanfic ideas a reality I'm gonna put them all in the same universe, for the funnies.

Yes. The Chiikawa/God Eater Fusion Fic, the Smiling Friends/Kill la Kill Transplanted Character Fic, and the Massive Multiplayer Crossover that's basically World of Light from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate but with more aura and hype moments and also gay people are all canon to one another. There are no ramifications or implications for any of this. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

Guys how cool would it be if Super Megaforce had a green ranger...

Reading Fan Dumb and wondering... what sort of Fan Dumb am I? (Come on, we're all at least one).

After some thought and self-examination...

Highbrow (Fans who are convinced that they are so much more sophisticated and intelligent than those around them.) Guilty - I love digging out obscure Shout Outs in works, the more rarefied and intellectual the better. Generally but not always in the Discworld. Then I can get smug and self-satisfied for spotting them.

Old-timer (A fan who feels entitled to special treatment because "I was here first!" ) Very guilty and somewhat embarrassed about this... I can defend the Tom Baker/Douglas Adams era in Doctor Who until the cows come home, and argue it all started to go off the boil after the Fifth Doctor took over and was never as stellar again. I have no illusions as to what sort of pain in the arse this makes me to Who fans who arrived later. (May I say... sorry....)

Bits of some of the others might apply, like Evangelist and Mad Scholar, but those are the two that definitely fit me...

Does anyone else have a similar confession to make?

[up]you haven't paid your electricity bill? Electricity company load-shedding? Fuse blown in the plug? Fuse blowout in the fusebox that only affects the power circuit serving the heater? (And all that is assuming your heater is electrical....)
