I'd been a fan of PSO since DC V1, and always told my non-dreamcast owning friends how fun the game was. Many of them couldn't understand it, and I never really got the chance to show them what the hubbub was about.
Fast forward a few years later, Ep.1&2 hits for the gamecube, with local multiplayer. I bring over two of my buddies who I usually played local multiplayer games with to try it out. We all make characters, and they ask me questions about the situation at hand, the enemies, tactics they should use, etc. After some time we wormed our way to the dragon, whom made them both shout out because they had a feeling we weren't going to live.
Well during the second half of the battle, as the dragon is screaming, they ask me what kind of tactic change we should do, any moves they should be aware of to survive, etc. I tried to think of what to tell them before it jumped in the air and burrowed deep underground. I said the only thing that came to my mind:
"You ever see those bugs bunny cartoons? It's kinda like that."
Just then the dragon buried himself underground, and shot himself across the stage and the ground tore up beneath their feet. To this day they still remember that being the most helpful piece of advice they'd ever been given about the game.
