[@kurtisharen]

There's a channel called "How To Drink", which goes over recipes for various alcoholic beverages. The intro for the older videos would show clips of preparing the drink that was going to be featured for that particular video, but the final bit of the intro that had the name of the show was always the same shot of an old-fashioned. My favorite comment I ever saw on one of those videos claimed that watching the intros for the various episodes showed the sad tale of a cursed bartender, doomed to have every single cocktail and beverage he ever made turn into an old-fashioned before he could drink it.

Fun story, there was a glitch during Onimusha’s development where you could juggle the enemies by constantly fighting.

[@BobExcalibur]

11:55 I'm surprised you missed the explanation for the Onimusha transformation considering you described only a minute earlier. Its established that when a human is at the height of despair their blood is at its most potent. Thus when Samonosuke is on the brink of being crushed by Fortinbras and he is certain that Princess Yuki will die due to his failure, his blood infuses the gauntlet and empowers him. Its pretty standard shonen anime bullshit, but its relatively internally consistent. All the times Samonosuke can die midway through the campaign, or indeed during the final boss fight? He just wasn't SAD enough to trigger the transformation.
