Okay! (In the affirmative sense)

Is that Steve Blum's voice?

Yep. I enjoy how even in his 60's, he can still sound such like a young man.

So Xeno it is, huh? As long as it's not limited to Pyra out of the 2, I'm down. In fact, Rex not being there improves my opinion of this choice substantially, especially relative to how I considered it prior (always with Rex included).

Haven't even played AoC yet, but it looks that way to me, too. Getting some younger incarnations has certainly done her popularity a favor, and if anything can overcome Sakurai's (rumored or factual)....lack of liking for Zelda, it'd be that.

A new Zelda rep; i.e., not another "Huhr duhr, have another version of the same character!" shit. Give us a Midna/Midna on Wolf Link, Skull Kid, Impa, Vaati.... I was all for Ghirahim back with 4, given the importance of his actions to the series' overarching story, and that I simply liked his character, but nonselection and ultimately getting the assist trophy treatment would signal that ship has sailed. Really, as things stand now and all things considered, I think the Kid is my first choice, though it remains that I will take even Tingle at this point.

Crash

Kaiba's Battle City outfit

No, Tokyo Godfathers.

Oh damn, sorry to to hear he's gone. Just days after Hal Holbrook, too. Despite the age of some of his like, I always feel as though they could just keep on chugging for years to come.

The band.

I doubt it would hold on rewatch, but in childhood, I hated Dak for saying he could take on the whole Empire himself.

Shit/"Fuck off"

The movie 2012.

Go sit under a tree!

Richard Wagner - Gtterdmmerung

No, can't say it was. If anything, it afforded me the opportunity to turn some things around.

I'll nominate Salome's "liebestod" that serves as the finale to Strauss' Salome, if you'll count it.

"Backlash to the backlash" making itself known, too, I bet.

Wagner.

In general, to both. This is the most nostalgic time of the year for me, so it's not something I've been able to bring myself to hate, even notwithstanding all the other ways I've changed over the years.

Giving/Togetherness

This thing:

Which isn't even close, but what can you do?

The one from Coca-Cola ads.

Fuck no. There's something about all of that movie's weird head-on camera angles that I find very disconcerting.

Him being included in Super Smash Bros; visualized as scenes from his trailer. But in terms of reaction, I'm quite pleased.

I wasn't expecting this, but I am pleased.

I'd add Skull Kid to that list, too: 20 years later and people still seem to care about him. Being quasi-recurring certainly helps.

And you can even just leave Snake a pincushion for the rest of the game by not removing the bolts!

What kind of reception would we expect for another (and distinct, i.e. non Link/Zelda/Ganondorf) Zelda character? It's not like it's been glutted with representation.

No Noocracy?

I also hold Takahata to be the even better director of the two. Both he and Miyazaki are responsible for at least four of my favorite films, but while Miyazaki accomplished that over (as of now) thirteen films, Takahata did it in just five.

A hodgepodge of some of the box arts.

Pumpkin, which isn't a a bad choice.

58-64

I'll say 63.

I'll nominate Lionel Bart's "Food, Glorious Food".

Thanksgiving

Stuffing. I don't eat any of the worst ones, obviously. Whatever I had of stuffing as a young boy was bad enough to ward me off it ever since, but on top of that it also looks the most unappetizing.
