Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Going on from RvB the finale. The Crowning Moment of Awesome:
*Sarge approaches the Meta with his shotgun and the 'Hog tow cable. The Meta grabbes the shotgun and tosses it away, then holds Sarge up by the neck.*
"Oh no! I've lost my shotgun, Grif. What will I do without my shotgun? I can't solve this problem because I don't have my shotgun!" - Sarge
"Shotgun...Simmons, come on!" - Grif
*Grif and Simmons push the 'Hog towards the edge.*
"Hey, tell me, does that thing look like a big cat to you?" - Sarge
*Sarge points towards the 'Hog, which is falling off the edge.*
"Gggraar?" - Meta
*Sarge attatches the 'Hog tow cable to the Meta's shoulder plate.*
"Graah!!!!" - Meta
*The Meta is dragged away and falls off the cliff, grabbing Grif's leg as he goes. They both fall over the edge.*
Followed immediatly by the Crowning Moment of Funny:
*Sarge and Simmons stand on the edge of the cliff, mourning Grif*
"I can't believe it...he's really gone!" - Simmons
"He was a good soldier. He will be missed. Until we get a replacement, of course." - Sarge
*Tucker arrives*
"Hey, you know, sometimes in action movies, when the hero falls off the cliff, he's really just hanging just below the edge on a tree branch." - Tucker
"Nah. I'm sure he's dead." - Sarge
"I think I'll take a peek." - Simmons
"Seems like a waste of time to me." -Sarge
"It'll only take a second." - Simmons
"Don't consider it an order." - Sarge
"In that case..." - Simmons
"OH COME ON! JUST LOOK OVER THE DAMN EDGE ALREADY!" - Grif.
*Cuts to Grif, hanging from the wall from the blade of Meta's Brute Shot*

Tragically unbeyachted.
The whole episode is really one giant CMoA (I have to fight the urge to weep every time I hear Dire Strait's Brothers in Arms), but the absolutely ultimate scene is - you know what, sod the spoiler warning, it might get more people watching TWW - The President of the United States standing in the middle of the National Cathederal and shouting "to hell with you" at God in untranslated Latin.

It's not just you.
There are probably other things I could name but they all escape me at the moment, though I will say that, while the battles themselves weren't anything special or challenging (doryuuzu will do that), BW's Elite Four music made the otherwise pretty standard fights feel like CMoAs. I was grinning and muttering "oh my god" while playing. On the train. I imagine I looked like an idiot.

Oh pffff this is why I shouldn't post things when I'm sleep deprived.
I meant that you should've had a Big No moment when Butterfree closed the game.

... oh, yes. Yes, I would have to agree.
Speaking of, there's also the President's first lines. And of course "when the President stands, nobody sits".

Uh, I didn't do it.
LOL, sorry I think I took it the wrong way....
But I definately think it was more of a "DO NOT WANT" moment anyways.
