Let's not forget that not only do you carry around the Land Rover, you also carry around the Ice Digger and the Hydrofoil once you get them. Thankfully the Landale gets left at the spaceport. XP<p>Makes you wonder what exactly the characters in games do with the items you can't get rid of. Like... Where exactly does Rune KEEP the Psycho Wand when he's not using it? (Which would be just about always in my game since I usually have him with two shields... XP)<p>At least not being able to get rid of it makes sense, since you'd kind of be screwed if you went and sold it right after getting it. XP I suppose that and for sentimental reasons, since somebody somewhere would be bound to get pissed if you sold Lutz's old stuff. XP (Though, if I remember right, you CAN sell the Frade Mantle... XP Kyra would probably have a fit, though. XP)

Old game. Legendary Axe 2 for the Turbografx16. After you finally beat your brother and the minion he was in league with they show your character taking the throne. As he sits in the throne a group of robed individuals come forth to pay their respects to you, the new king. Lo and behold, one of them discards their robe, a female assasin leaps forward to you... and kills you. And the game ends. >.> Yeah a whole freaking day playing that game to pass it just to be killed anyways.

The ending of Final Fantasy I, or any game with time travel (excluding Chrono Trigger).<p>You defeated Garland, ending the time loop, making it so you never fought him at all, but then he never traveled back in time and.....<p>Erm, yeah. I like it when the heroes can remember they saved the world. <p>Also, Chrono Cross (major spoiler)<p>Schala from Chrono Trigger was a pale, tall, well-mannered, european-looking, blue haired girl who speaks royal/proper english, but now she is suddenly a tanned, short, rambunctious, australian-looking, blonde haired girl who speaks with a cockney accent. No wonder the gamers had no clue who she was!

The captain of the army if I believe. Therefore he left and was defeated by the light warriors then managed to travel back in time and become Chaos. So there realy isn't anything illogical at all there. If anything it's a constant time loop that keeps occuring.

So seeing Holt in stone form is illogical?<p>What about Odin in PS 1? He was in a stone form...<p>Greek mythology spoke of human statues in stone..<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Lord Khyron on [TIME]1123560784[/TIME]][/size]

Um...no, that's not what he was saying. "REF."- the abbreviation for "reference"...he is referencing where he saw this phrase. He is not saying stone statues are illogical.<p>EDIT: I was gender confused. I honestly thought Scejntjynahl posted that...sorry, Wolfhunt.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Siren on [TIME]1123605619[/TIME]][/size]

FFVI<br>The undead train. How the heck do trains die?<br>What I'm referring to is the train that brings the dead to the other side. When you fight the train, it counts as Undead.<p>Again in Castlevania... it's such a brilliant idea. Necrophilia at its highest level! A guy runs around in a castle of dead people and whips them. :p<p>Bad Dudes. Play it and you'll understand.

What did I do?<p>Another moment:<br>Metal Gear Solid: Using a cardboard box to infiltrate a high tech secured area... >.> Right. I can see myself now in a box going into fortKnox to steal gold.<p>Side note: RE series; someone mentioned that it was dumb to have the items follow you magically from storage box to storage box. Yes, that is true... it doesnt make sense. But imagine if it didnt. You would have to run back and forth ALL the time, bad enough you do that already with puzzles and dumb keys to locate. Can you image your near a "boss" like 7 different scenarios later, and you realize you forgot your grenades... now you have to run back all the way, pick them up, and run all the way back. But now, you just forgot to bring the launcher... GAHH!!!! (Im exagerating btw)

Have you really played the game through?<br>-Welcome to the world of fantasy<br>-again have you really played the game through?<p>Its not a matter of logics here but of undestanding.
