Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Brilliance

  • The CO Koal in Advance Wars: Dual Strike is very young looking, but seems more mature than the other various Kid COs in the game (Andy, Colin, Jake, and Lash), excepting Sonja, who also acts mature. Even Max, the Dumb Muscle of the Orange Star COs, picks up on it, calling Koal a "small man". Then you remember that Kindle and Von Bolt drained the energy from Omega Land to keep themselves from aging. It seems very likely that this is why Koal looks like a child.

Fridge Logic

  • Why oh why can a plane not fly over anything, including an immobile pipe, or a *sumberged submarine*?
    • a submerged submarine is extremely hard to spot, if you spotted one, would you just fly over it or stop to inform command of it's position?
      • I take issue with the idea that you can 'stop' a plane in mid-flight.
      • Idle circling around the area. They spot the Submarine, then fly around it since the sub can't shoot back as they relay its position to you.
  • Andy's CO power repairs units. In Advance Wars most units are actually groups of 5 (for example, if you build a "light tank" it is a group of 5 tanks), and damage is represented by some of the members dying.
    • My god, the soldiers are all robots! This explains everything!
