The surprise better not be that there is no surprise. Because that wouldn't be very surprising. :-I

It’s actually brilliant, it says right in the title that the surprise is a secret. This forces us to reconsider what we understand about the concept of surprises, perhaps even challenging the surprise paradigm as a whole by creating a surprise that the intended recipients aren’t privy to.

If a surprise goes unnoticed either through collective apathy or complacency or if the surprise is deliberately obfuscated, perhaps that is the ultimate surprise. A surprise that you never even knew occurred is arguably the most surprising because our expectation is that it must eventually be revealed, when in fact no such condition is required to qualify the surprise.

I meant the characters in the game, but I can see how what I said can be misconstrued. Sorry :-I

Yeah, that was pretty good.

Just what I'd expect from the man who LP'd Major/Minor.

Some afterthoughts:

- Like Perry said in the Christmas thread, this was originally meant to be 15-30 seconds long, but I kind of got carried away and it became what it is now.

- Overall this took about...two weeks to make? On and off, with a lot of time spent tweaking. I actually had to render a new one at the last minute because of an audio goof I'd overlooked.

- My favorite jokes are probably Yellowstar's codec call (for which "It's Raining Men" would've been the original song playing when she called Kefka) or the Metal Gear "Ray".

- The idea of Aramek doing a Ocelot-style ending phone call came to me pretty early. Perrydotto loved the idea, so I went ahead and tapped Aramek for his voice acting prowess. He did an amazing job! :yay:

- Fontra also recorded a bunch of voice lines, but I thought it'd be funnier if he switched between his actual voiced and a computer generated one for no reason.

- Sorry for exploding your head, Fizzbuzz.

- If you translate the text for when Kefka enters The Furry's lair, you'll find a surprise.
