Something that everyone else knew already but only just struck me.

Part of the reason we all love Chrono Trigger so much is that the soundtrack is amazing. I've been listening to it on the way to work! I turn on Frog's theme on the bus to the metro, and Magus's theme when I get on the escalator into the station, and pretend I am infiltrating Magus's lair. I feel very adventurous about the whole thing.

Given the number of hours I've spent listening to these songs since middle school, it's kind of amazing that I can even still stand them, forget about liking them.

Paranoid Thought of the Day

There are probably a metric ton of shills running around on TV Tropes.

In a wiki environment, authorship has low visibility - you have to click into the history to find out who posted what, so you're not going to gradually come to realize there are an awful lot of similarly-phrased references to recent [insert studio name here] releases suddenly cropping up from people with generic names with a number after them. Or that every single reference to [insert webcomic name here] seems to be by the same user, who coincidentally talks an awful lot like the artist does on his blog.

Maybe frequent contributors will notice something, but consumer-only type users (whom I imagine account for most of them) never know who wrote what. Shill-type behavior just isn't going to be as obvious there as it is on Amazon or Yelp or someone's blog's comments, where a person's identity is clearly marked and expected to be persistent.

Chrono Trigger periodically destroys my ability to think about anything else in the world.
