| - As luck would have it, the final two matches would take place on a weekend, giving L-Block exactly the boost he would need to finish this contest off. In Lady Gaga's recent Monster Ball Tour, part of the set has a bunch of neon signs on it. One part of it is unmistakable and relates to L-Block's late run very easily: Seriously, what the f*** have we done? Well, more like what the f*** have you done. I thought it was pretty cool seeing L-Block smash everything, but I also have a good sense of humor. If only the rest of Board 8 had that same sense of humor, but I'm sure you can imagine all the whining that went on for this entire weekend. Also to back up something tranny wrote about, Kotaku linked to us during the day of the match. See that little spike for L-Block around 3 PM EST in the update chart? It's because of this. Not that Kotaku wasn't the only one. Vote for the Worst, 4chan, Kotaku, and pretty much every nerd site on the entire internet was clued into the last two days of this contest. It was basically a given L-Block would beat Cloud in the final and get into at least part of the winner's circle thanks to all this. The only question that remained was whether or not he could create a miracle and beat Link. Given L-Block led Snake by 1000 votes after 10 minutes, everything was on the table. Lost in all this was how close Master Chief got to Solid Snake. Someone had to get second place here and advance into the final, and Snake basically did so by default. But that didn't stop Master Chief from cutting 800 votes from Snake's lead in one final gasp. We may never again see Chief this impressive, and whether you hate the guy or not it was cool to see him make a deep run. (You really thought I was going to go through an entire PCA without a single Lady Gaga reference? Who the hell do you think I am? <3)
