OH christmuffins, I know. I mean - the first encounter I had with psychic sentient bastard A.I. was in FF7, watching Sepher Sephiroth repeatedly pimp slap Cloud in my friend Code's runthrough.
It was like *SUPERNOVA!* *Pale Horse!* *PIMP SLAP* and Cloud would go down like a ton of bricks or be status owned to hell and back. Code would resurrect him and he'd get pimpslapped again and be a minifrog afflicted with slow petrify, and Code's out of frigging MP now so he has to spend a turn giving Yuffie an ether and by that time Sephiroth has slapped Cloud to death again -
It was really, really deranged.
Like, I know there's stuff like Xenogears, where Grahf is programmed not to attack female units, but then there's shit like 900RedYoshi's squabble with the Dark Lich, which is describable only as THANATOS IS A MOTHERFRACKING GODDAMNED TROLL. It starts about there with the Floor Creeper attacks and then everything just all goes downhill...
There's similar dickery in NintendoCapriSun's LP, during which a character gets snowmanned JUST as they're about to bust out with a necessary action.
I keep going, "...You're an ASSHOLE, you know?" And then I get sporfly noises in my head. :B
I'm trying to remember who got utterly punted by the second Wall Face of Doom but I can't right now. Blehh.
But yeah. I - sometimes I swear the game's mocking me. Pirouetting Kilroybot of Death was REALLY special.
