Oh yeah! I noticed the red poppy's there too.. Australia had Remembrance Day here too.. Well, obviously..

Anyway, although I've been known to enjoy the old Squaresoft games like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Vagrant Story, I still found those puns/jokes rather hilarious. In general, it's true, JRPG developers -do- need to learn from the mistakes of previous games. Samey generic characters and arbitrary numbers/grinding.. Luckily, FFXIV Online won't have levels, much like FFX and hopefully it'll be MUCH, MUCH easier to progress than it is in FFXI Online (not that that's saying much..)

To its credit though, FFXIII does look quite awesome, with the major changes they've done already to the series.

Also, I saw no Terra reference in the weather report. Terraforma? Anyone...? Anyone? Sigh ;;

All in all, ENN is a great addition to The Escapist's lineup!

I counted 25 separate weather related puns. Well done! :)
I guess it would be one of these [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HurricaneOfPuns], then?

I really can't tell what's going on, but that's because I have no audio.

Don´t look now, but there´s one man too many on this thread, and I think it´s you.

Of course Canada does the whole poppy thing, the pome was written by a Canadian doctor while serving.

Giving me the cold shoulder? There's no need to rain on my parade. This site can have a warm front, but there's a depression if you complain about the blizzard of MMO's.

Awesome show, I loved the bit about Warcraft, "Nobody cares!". Just wondering what were they talking about as the credits rolled and what vault are you guys from?

You can see a Canadian flag in the background of China XD

the prince of persia and weather report were probably the most amusing, great job

Another fine episode. Loved the Prince of Persia movie joke and the "heavy Cloud and occasional Squall" joke.
yes! oh my god that had me laughing out loud (now people are looking at me funny)

The Prince of Persia joke was amazing. Stupid Fanboys are never happy.
x) hahaha definitely, tho I just hope they have a lot more parkour/acrobatic building scaling than it seems right now
I never had a chance to REALLY get into the series unfortunately...

Margaritaville the Game, eh?

"I'm sorry, Jimmy, but your salt shaker is in another bar."
Hopefully it will come with a Wii-mote attachment in the shape of a margarita glass.
Note on the package: Blender not included.
"salt shaker not included - woman not to blame"
