According to my post yesterday, the winner of this quiz will be my best friend. So, who is it going to be? Do you think you got all the answers correct? Why are you so nervous? It’s not like we’re going to have slumber parties every night or anything. We will be getting half-heart necklaces and bracelets that say “BFF!” on them, but that’s it. Oh, and I will call you all the time to talk about, ya’ know, stuff. It’s going to be great.

I knew my obsessive replaying of this game would one day come in handy. Now you need to do a quiz on Soul Blazer, I play that game annually.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
I win! 20/20!
Alanar's Destructoid Blog
Glad I picked this game up on Virtual Console...
16/20, Silver Badge. Mixed up Marahna and Aitos. And forgot which spell destroyed rocks and how many villagers seal a monster lair. But I'm fine with that.
Aerox's Destructoid Blog
Dang, I think I got them all except #8. WHO WILL BE MY BFF NOW?
Knives's Destructoid Blog
Silvertoid badge! I missed some of the city names and number 8
A New Challenger's Destructoid Blog
I missed 4 or something.

It was fun trying to play this with the Gamecube controller, where B and Y are separated by quite a distance. Fortunately, the action is quite forgiving and this never presented the same shoot while jumping problems that Contra III would if I downloaded it.
luzer7072's Destructoid Blog
Aw damn! A lousy Gold! So who is Death Heim, then? That name really stood out to me! Where is it from?! Also, I swore up and down that it took seven villagers to seal a lair; one in a red robe, and six others.

Aw nuts!
luzer7072's Destructoid Blog
@ lemon:

You're missin' out!
ZargonX's Destructoid Blog
I did so awesomely bad at that. Time to go play Actraiser again!
shipero's Destructoid Blog
@luzer

Death Helm is where you fought Tanzra and all the other bosses.
KyleGamgee's Destructoid Blog
OH NOES! I actually had a busy day at work yesterday, and I missed the quiz on ActRaiser! Not cool! Not cool! This would have been my First dolphin badge. I would have nailed every single one of these questions.

AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!

NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
So Chad, can I bes your BFF for getting thems all right?
shipero's Destructoid Blog
I found the BFF pendant you should get.I think you'll like it.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
lol, nice find, Shipero.
Chad Concelmo's Destructoid Blog
@shipero,
O. M. G. I am at a loss for words.

@NihonTiger90,
Are you kidding me? Do you want aquamarine or blue? :) :)
shipero's Destructoid Blog
So hows this BFF thing work, is it like the Highlander and there can be only one? If need be I will totally battle NihonTiger to the death for the BFF status, but I also feel that between the three of us we could throw a pretty bitchin' slumber party. I make a mean pot of Earl Grey.
Beaudman's Destructoid Blog
I only got the last one wrong as well. I thought it was Death Heim, because that's what it says you cleared at the end.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
Aquamarine please, Chad.
