In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”.<\/em><\/p>\n

We don’t have pages on the internet, but we still love terrible jokes \u2014 so welcome to our semi-regular feature, Back Page<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

You know, when I was a little gal, monsters used to have sensible names. Names like “Bowser” and “Ganon”, “Ridley” and “Sephiroth”. Cool mononyms, you know, like Cher and Madonna. They’re memorable. Punchy. Sensible<\/em>. If Bowser has a last name, I don’t know it, and I don’t want to.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, you’re less likely to be caught in a battle with Nemesis or Mother Brain, and more likely to come face-to-face with something called Ceaseless Discharge, a Dark Souls<\/a> boss that I still cannot believe<\/em> exists. Please do not name your horrible bosses after body fluids! That’s weird!!!<\/p>\n

\"Ceaseless<\/a>
This is Ceaseless Discharge. I would have named him something like, “Flame Boy”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the same time… I love it. I really do. I love the moment when I enter a boss arena and the name comes up, and I find out that this huge behemoth that I have to defeat has a name like GERALD THE NEVER-WED, DESTROYER OF SMORGASBORDS. It gives me a sexy little bit of story. A bit of intrigue. I want to know more about Gerald, just as I want to put a sword into one of his eighteen faces. Why’s he never been wed? Was it because of his propensity to destroy smorgasbords? Was his fianc\u00e9e a smorgasbord<\/em>? I need to know!<\/p>\n
