*squeals of girlish glee*
My life is now complete, as I have discovered the existence of
iPod Nanos with Suikoden runes on them. My only problems are a) that I've discovered them after the order deadline and b) that I recently purchased an iPod and most certainly cannot afford another. But! I can feel all warm inside just knowing that some lucky Japanese person is listening to music on a device bearing Angsty McDohl's "Everyone close to me ends up dead, woe1" rune.
...Maybe when the series ends and all the true runes are finally revealed, a similar promotion will let me have my pick of twenty-seven iPods. Oooh.
1Well, I exaggerate, but the Suikoden games are big on the body counts to start with, and McDohl's life with the Souleater rune goes something like this:
LOVED ONE: I'm glad you're in my life.
McDOHL: Me, too. You're nice and you smell pretty.
LOVED ONE: Awww, you're so-- ARGH MY FLESH
McDOHL: :'-(
SOULEATER: Ding!
Then again, McDohl might just be sad because I habitually name him, and all the other Suikoden heroes, "Roadkill."
