* ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'': The Light Warriors' (''especially'' Black Mage) approach to ''anything'': try to kill everything in sight. Including each other. If they don't do the first, then they stand around arguing until their enemies' stupidity makes them self-destruct. It's usually one or the other. |
