DS Fanswag: Pick up two units for your DS army!


The DS Fanboy giveaway craze continues with a brand-new shot at a couple of games, all for you. Free. The way games should be. We've got a two-pack for one lucky winner, featuring Heroes of Mana from Square Enix and Luminous Arc from Atlus, valued at $39.99 and $34.99 respectively.

If you have a driving need to move some units, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post that answers a very important question between now and Monday, October 22, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. You may enter once per day only, so please avoid spamming the comments with the same thing over and over. On Tuesday the 23rd, we'll select one lucky winner in a random drawing and ship off your free games. Does it get any better than that? We think not.

There are, of course, a few caveats. Winners must be both U.S. citizens and over the age of 18 (sorry, guys!). You can check out the full official rules here.

So, here's the question: witches or rabites? Feel free to explain at length.

Rabites, man. They're like bunnies... without legs. That can kill you. If you stand there forever and let them. No contest.

I'll go with Rabites since they tend to remind me of cabbits, and you can never go wrong with cabbits.

The Rabite resembles a bodiless, one-toothed rabbit with large ears that curve upward and form a point at the tip, and a round, puffy pink tail. Rabites move by hopping along the ground. The most often seen variety of Rabites is the yellow, weakest one. Several other varieties exist, each being different from the others in terms of strength and abilities. A pink variety appears in Secret of Mana and as the Rabilion in Seiken Densetsu 3.[54][55] The latter game also features a lilac variety called King Rabi, and a green variety called Great Rabi.[55] In Seiken Densetsu 3, the Black Rabi is a hidden optional superboss, the most powerful enemy in the game.[56]

Legend of Mana features white Rabites simply called "Rabites", although yellow ones are some of the pets that the player can raise and use as a battle partner.[57] Non-enemy Rabites have also appeared in Seiken Densetsu: Friends of Mana, Heroes of Mana, and with the pet Buju in Dawn of Mana.[58][59][60]

Deadly and cute just like your...um. Give me ur games.

Because you can do a witch...well you could do a rabite, but CA doesn't look highly on it.

Yeah, I think witches are superior, as long as they're cute anime-style witches and not the more classical ancient and warty variety. Not only are they far more powerful in battle than rabites, but they make good arm trophies for a conquering hero...if you were the king of a newly liberated fantasy city, and you saw your savior walking up to the throne with a rabite on his arm, wouldn't you be more than a bit freaked out by that? Whereas if its a cute witch, you know he's at least normal in one respect.

Rabites, because their name is a pun joke. Also, I'm still angry at Gruntilda. You know.

Rabites. Witches are great and all, but they catch match a Rabite.

The with Rabites is, despite how cute they may appear to be, they are actually quite deadly. An excellent combination of traits.

Plus, they were in Secret of Mana, one of the best Super NES games ever.

What the hell is a rabite?

I vote for rabite because it sounds like rabbit, which are cute and cuddly fluffy critters.
