Hooray for Phoenix Wright! This series is where I had to break down and realize I was exactly as big a gay dork as I always suspected, as I developed my first crushes on fictional characters. I mean Phoenix is okay, but Edgeworth? And don't get me started on Apollo Justice.
That game is hilarious. posted by amro at 6:39 PM on October 17, 2010
.....I saw someone do a spoof of this meme featuring a caricature of Sam Waterson as Jack McCoy.
I kid you not, I honestly thought I was going to see a "Law and Order" page when I clicked on the "where it all comes from" link. posted by EmpressCallipygos at 6:41 PM on October 17, 2010
Favorited (ShawnStruck's above) for not just skating by with "You lose!" but doing the whole preamble. Win. posted by cavalier at 6:44 PM on October 17, 2010
EmpressCallipygos: Do you mean something like this?
...Don't ask me what the source is, though. I got it off "the internet". posted by KChasm at 6:45 PM on October 17, 2010
How I originally found the Phoenix Wright meme -- someone making a video of The Frantics' Boot to the Head sketch. Works really well. posted by cavalier at 6:46 PM on October 17, 2010 [6 favorites]

That's it exactly. Someone at another site I frequent uses it as their user avatar. posted by EmpressCallipygos at 6:55 PM on October 17, 2010
My kid does that to me all the time in real life. I'll be saying something parental and annoying and he points his finger at me and Objection! If I show him this, I will be constantly Phoenix-rolled. posted by acheekymonkey at 6:55 PM on October 17, 2010 [1 favorite]
The Whelk, to me, is sort of like that kinda weird kid that lived next door. He always was up for some fun and rompin around, but always brought over the weirdest toys. I liked playing with them, but was glad that they were his. posted by lazaruslong at 7:31 PM on October 17, 2010 [2 favorites]
Also, I love you and I enjoyed this post. posted by lazaruslong at 7:31 PM on October 17, 2010
It started funny and then got lame, but the air guitar thing turned this whole ship around. posted by adamdschneider at 9:23 PM on October 17, 2010 [1 favorite]
I just wish I could bring myself to pick up Investigations and actually finish it. It's been sitting there, halfway through the third case, for about 6 months. And I just don't have the urge to go further. Has anyone finished it? Does it finish strong? Should I just damn the torpedoes and lunge back in?
I think part of the problem is I miss the courtroom sequences more than I thought I would. posted by HostBryan at 1:41 AM on October 18, 2010 [1 favorite]
(Also, I really think Edgeworth works better as a foil than a lead protagonist.) posted by HostBryan at 1:43 AM on October 18, 2010

I finished and enjoyed Investigations, but I've played through all the Ace Attourney games (at least, as far as what's been released in the US), so they get a little muddled in my head. If I remember correctly, the fourth and fifth cases were pretty interesting -- some kind of complicated international incident that ties the rest of the game together. Though I don't recall if there are any debates about the difference between ladders and step-ladders. posted by The Great Big Mulp at 6:38 AM on October 18, 2010
But, yeah, I missed the courtroom scenes, too. posted by The Great Big Mulp at 6:39 AM on October 18, 2010
Charred husk, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to say that again, only this time in red. posted by KChasm at 4:19 PM on October 18, 2010 [1 favorite]

...Ahem, well, I wouldn't want to win outright like that.
Damn you, mods! posted by charred husk at 5:48 PM on October 18, 2010

I suspect this makes me an enormous dorkface.
