As far as long-running series go, Advance Wars ranks among the best. Truly, there are few things in life that match the joy of controlling a group of pre-teens that have the authority to order legions of men to grisly doom.

Unfortunately, the most recent AW game utilizes what developers refer to as "a darker storyline".

Proclamation: I defy anyone to name a song that has worse lyrics than Papa Roach's Last Resort. You can't do it because it doesn't exist.

	HAHAHA. Same thing happened with "Excitebike IV: The Cambodia Diaries." So... many... bodies....

	That song is terrible in every way. I actually don't know any of its lyrics besides these, as I have always immediately changed the channel/station upon hearing these words.

	@Marie, I used to think it had a good guitar riff - but it turns out they stole that riff from Iron Maiden. So, nothing good about it. Fingers crossed for a return to happy days for the next Advance Wars!

	@Fraser hmmm... I almost tempted to listen to the song just to hear this stolen riff.

	What the hell? Why aren't there more commenters? This is the best webcomic I've read in years.

That would be from Iron Maiden's instrumental, _Genghis Khan_, on the _Killers_ album. One of the greatest metal albums of all time.

The riff is almost identical, apart from a slight tempo change. The other thing is that while it's the best thing in that awful Papa Roach song, it was only one minor part of a fantastic Iron Maiden song, that is itself merely a lesser track on an incredible album. Kinda funny.
