retrospec | LOADING...OVERFLOW

Hello and happy new year! A lot of poll results came in from R&D and we've almost fixed taste all the way. Horses are almost fixed, too. We've been working pretty much non-stop around the holidays to stabilize everything, so I hope this works!

Just so you guys know, while we were working on fixing the original problems we received some alerts of residual effects outside of our usual domain. Don't worry though! Remember what I said a while ago? We're still moving more resources around into better defenses to protect the city from huge storms like last summer. We'll be taking care of that really soon and isolating the unknown problem.

I wish I could tell you more, but we're all working overtime here to finish the final stages of a big project. No matter what happens you guys should be safe while we finish up, so just stay calm, okay? Don't get too reckless!

Hey, I never said to harm any real ones. There's CGI for a reason!

oh ok
as long as it's all fake then it can be good and gory

the chocobo's gotta win though

The chocobo will only win if the chocobo deserves it!

but it's cgi
the people who make the cgi have to decide who wins
computer animations don't deserve anything

Doesn't matter.

Maybe the CGI Chocobo doesn't deserve to win.

how do you decide which cgi character deserves to win

Well the people have to be impartial to both chocobos and horses and do a lot of research between the two of them to figure out how the fight would go.

...this sounds like work now
don't ruin the chocobo horse deathmatch with research it's gonna make it all weird

But that's how you get 100% accurate results, you know.
And how they do those CG deathmatches.

no its not!!!
cgi deathmatches are about fun and glory and guts
not research

you're totally ruining this

besides you couldn't be accurate it would depend on how big the chocobo and horses were and how they were feeling and whatever

You've never seen a CGI death match before, have you.....

And that's why there's average sizes.

ok we're obviously talking about different kinds of cgi deathmatches because i don't know what kinda boring stuff you're watching but it sounds lame

the POINT IS

chocobos are rad

It's not lame. You just don't appreciate it because the battles themselves are really cool!

yeah yeah ok
anyway like i said biology is totally on my side
the downward peck, yo

Do you want to make a bet on that?

sure!!!

1000000 bucks

Even if I have that much money, I wouldn't bet that much money.

i can't believe you have no confidence in your horses

I have confidence. I just don't like putting high stakes on something when I'm certain the other person won't pay up. :)

wooooooow
joke's on you man
i'm not the one who's gonna have to pay up
so whatever i bet is totally unimportant!

That overconfidence will definitely be your downfall.

it's not overconfidence if it's justified!!

ok fine there's only one way to settle this

i'll ride on a chocobo and you ride on a horse and we'll joust it out

Deal.

But I'm still not betting that much money.

oh fine
we'll bet like
a milkshake at the burger joint or something

Deal. And if I lose, I'll add in a whole meal to that milkshake, too.
