A friend showed me this today. I did not know that the theme appeared in Link's Awakening. I seriously thought I knew that game inside out but wow.
Totaka's song in like every single nintendo game.

Mark Hamil played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.
Star Wars was a movie made by George Lucas.
George Lucas has a beard like Noah, from the Ark story in the bible.
In the Ark story, Noah brought pigs along.
Pigs can be slaughtered to make ham.
Ark Ham.
Get it?
Mark Hamil voices the Joker in Batman: Arkham Asylum

Noticed this just minutes ago from a Youtube video, regarding the "September" stage on Elite Beat Agents.
Here's the Video from the stage, just in case.

Ok, the following contains heavy Dark Seed II ending spoilers, but I gues sit can't be helped. It's the first 20 seconds or so.
Where, oh where have I heard that tune before?
At first I thought that was a prank made by uploader of the video, but that theme is really in the game. Pretty blatant I'd say

I posted this early in this thread, but think it might have been overlooked or not seen by many who are new to this thread...
On the SNES the fireball would flash and so you had to pause the game at just the right moment to see it.
attentionwhoregif = me
This is because, despite being one of the two most famous fireballs in gaming, the Hadouken is not a fireball. The original fireball is actually basically supposed to be the same "Wave fist" move that monks in FFT have- essentially a chi-enhanced shockwave punch.

I posted this in the Symbolism thread but I figured it would fit here.
Ever wondered what the Esperoid tower was supposed to be?
They're corrupted Kefka-ized Goddess statues in the theme of Dante's inferno. All those bodies, including the female, all have Kefka's face. You can recognize Kefka's trademark scarf in a few locations.
It's subtle, but you can see the remnants of the Goddesses in each stage. It's especially noticeable in tier 2, where the Goddess is still there, in the middle, just tied up with Kefka's ribbons. Note that the lower Kefka is now wearing her blue cloth as pants.
You can see Poltergeist's armor and helmet in tier one. The chestplate has turned blue. The arm placement is the same, and Poltergeist's angel wings are replaced by metallic purple bones on Kefka. You can see them on his right and left.
You can see the same two pipes in the top tier behind [sleep] and [girl]. The reclining figure, named [Maria] in Japanese, is a Kefka-faced version of Mary from the famous Michaelangelo sculpture Pietà. Of course, Jesus has Kefka's face too. Note he stole the Goddess' golden ball as well.
Pretty neat little details in the art, hey? Obviously Kefka at the top is supposed to be a new God in heaven, but I figure that one is pretty obvious.

Sorry for the bump, but I think it deserves it.
Dedicated to all DmC haters: the actress behind Olivia Dunham (Fringe, my favorite current TV series) also was Nariko (Heavenly Sword).

morningbus said:I'm not sure where you got that from, but that one is probably a misunderstanding. Swallows are migratory birds famous for leaving and returning to a place called Capistrano. Their return is celebrated and even has a fairly famous song about the event. It was a fairly common gag in some older cartoons.
Now, the Swellow pokemon is obviously a play off of the Swallow.
Swellow:
(a type of) Swallow:
So that's why the birds in the movie look like the pokemon.
As for Kent Brockman saying "swellow," it was either misheard or slightly garbled with the character's accent.
I haven't checked this against the movie, so I may be wrong. However, I think my explanation is probably a bit more reasonable.
:lol
He learned of the pokeman before the real life animal it's based on! And it's not some obscure thing like a flying squirrel. It's a fucking swallow.
Oh, what a world.

While Luca's Theme is the tune, Chrono Cross also used it for the battle victory song. Which is the exact song used in the Dark Seed II ending.Kulock said:
Speaking of this DS game Commando: Steel Disaster comes to mind. It used the Heavy Arms theme from Gundam Wing: Endless Duel as its title screen and part of the Black Omen theme from Chrono Trigger for the game over theme.
Normally, you should doubt that sort of info, because voice actors are notorious for using fake names to get around union or other restrictions. The Metal Gear Solid instruction manual even lists Solid Snake as being portrayed by "Sean Barker" (although the game credits list David Hayter) because Hayter was flip flopping on whether to use his actual name or an alias for what could be his most famous role, and he accidentally used both.Gravijah said:
But a quick Google turned up this mildly amusing clip.

So it's probably safe to say that Andrew Anthony is a real person (unless he's an alias for someone else).
