Talkback

I sucked, but I sucked less than my teammates, which, when you think about it, is really what's important. My only regret is that I wasn't able to cram in more Doc Emrick-inspired taunts.

I put my trust in the Famicrew (plus Addison) to not let me down.

-my thoughts before watching the video-


"Well...barring a colossal screw up on Danny and Addison's part, we should just give the trophy to Team Famicast right now"


-my thoughts after the match-


"hmmph"

Let it be known that my killer move with the clay pigeon to deflect the flying beetle back at Carmine was not something I knew would happen. I may indeed be a self-proclaimed "demon with that clay pigeon" but I had no idea the beetle's direction could be flipped at all, or with the clay pigeon specifically. I will however admit that it was totally badass.

I normally don't make time for video features but this has me intrigued.


The first video though... so much lack of action...

I believe I speak for all the participants when I say f**k Hyrule Castle.
