Adam and Josh both used to play a lot of the puzzle arcade game Magical Drop 3 via emulation.
One of the male voice samples says something that, to Adam and Josh, sounds like "accento!", even though this is not a Japanese word. When hearing it in game, they repeat "accento!".
Another male voice sample sounds as if it says "cuidado!", the Spanish word for "care" or "caution". This seemed appropriate to Adam and Josh as the sample seemed to play whenever the player or their opponent was about to suffer the consequences of a large chain reaction.
A female voice sample plays whenever a player or opponent is dealing combo damage. The sample seems to say "Heads up!" which Adam and Josh found appropriate considering the situation. Adam and Josh have noticed that there seems to be a slightly longer version of the regular sample that sounds more like "Heeeads uuup!". Both seem to play with regular frequency in the appropriate situation.
During the "adventure" option of the game, a slide will occasionally appear with a character quote or advice for the upcoming level. A crow will occasionally appear on one of these screens and give the player a word of advice. Before a specific kind of level, a still of the crow is shown saying "Balloons have been mixed up - good luck!". For some reason, Josh enjoyed the crow's dumpy nature and provided him with the voice heard below:
Balloons have been mixed up - good luck!
The cast of characters for the game are based on characters from tarot cards. Adam's character of choice was "The Lovers" which, confusingly enough, was made up of a little girl and a fat pink pig. Whenever Adam would select them, he would pronounce the name as "The LUHVERS!" the way Kuno from the dub of Ranma 1/2 would.
Another of the in between stage slides is a still of a rainbow with the message "This is a special stage." written underneath it. Until they became more familiar with the game, Adam and Josh could see no distinction between this "special stage" and any other and so were confused, prompting Josh to remark "This is a special stage. Why? I dunno!" upon viewing the slide.
If one plays the game particularly well enough during the challenge mode (possibly crossing a particular point threshold or something) a special character appears. He is called the Black Pierrot and dresses akin to a harlequin in all black. The Black Pierrot is extremely difficult and seemingly impossible to beat within the first three tries. Josh often found himself getting very annoyed at the game's seeming "put you in your place" character, referring to him as "the little black POS", POS being short for "piece of shit".
