Kain Highwind (FF4) fails to advance from his bracket in favor of Master Chief (HALO) and Raiden (MGS). I understand that there are a lot of HALO and MGS fanboys out there, but for God's sake, MGS fans don't even like Raiden! Just because FF4 was released around the same time many of the voters were being born screws one of the greatest video game characters ever.
Ness fails to advance from his bracket in favor of Pac-Man and Mewtwo. Pac-Man I can see. I don't have a problem with Pac-Man. But fucking Mewtwo? Seriously?
Balthier Bunansa fails to advance from his bracket in favor of Scorpion (MK) and Gordon Freeman (Half-Life). Does anyone even care about Mortal Combat anymore? Didn't think so. Even worse, I didn't even know who Gordon Freeman was and had to look it up. Ridiculous.
Kefka (FF6) fails to advance from his bracket in favor of Marth (Fire Emblem) and Duke Nukem. Arguably the greatest villain in a video game ever goes out in the first round to the poster boy for vaporware, and Marth. Marth is from a game that I would imagine 95%+ of the population which voted for him have never played. He only gets votes because he appears in Smash Bros. Gah.
At any rate, since this is a poker blog I'll talk poker for a bit. I ran like shit this weekend, having my first large downswing in awhile on Friday (to the tune of 15 BIs). While I did manage to recover and end up profitable on the long weekend, it certainly didn't live up to its potential.
For those who understand what this means, here's a Set-o-meter shot of my weekend to make your eyes bleed (I also ran bad in all-in EV, but I'll stick to the more appalling shot):
Since it is halfway through the month, here are my EV/luck graphs for the month so far. In total I'm sitting at around +$5.5k ($3.7k winnings + $1.8k rakeback). Note that I've actually run below average on the month so far.

Mewtwo would kick the shit out of Ness.
