..Ha, I get it now!
« on: March 14, 2013, 07:58:41 PM »
So. I feel slow now, but while texting my friend about finding tooons of Scaris girls but no Deuces, I finally figured out why his name is Deuce. Because snake eyes. Haha.
I feel slow, because I'm not only from Vegas, I've been running a deadlands campaign and it deals a lot with dice and gambling hands.

Anyone else have a suddenly "Oh, that's why" moment with any of the pun names?

I totally never realized that myself either! You've just taught me something. XD I love it when they use such cute/clever wordplay on these dolls. :)

I always thought it was because his mother is Medusa (The Gorgon), and "Deuce" ... "Dusa" .... *shrug*

I always thought it was Deuce because he was like a "dude" kinda guy, that they portrayed  him as in the webisode and specials, but this makes WAYY More sense. :P

That's what I always thought too, since a lot of the MH characters have names relating to their parent(s).  I like that it could be a double-layered meaning though.

Hmm. It could be that too. I always found his name weird considering all the other puns and such.

What? ;0;
I don't get it----- Would someone care to explain to a poor non-native Speaker? xD
(if that is even possible? I know puns can be hard to explain sometimes ^^)

In dice games when you roll two dice, if they both come up 1s you lose. It's called snake eyes because it's almost always a losing roll, snakes are seen as evil/betrayal, and the two dots look like a pair of eyes. Here's the wikipedia explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_eyes
The other idea, is that Dusa, the second half of Medusa, sounds like Deuce.

Deuce also means two, so two dots, snake eyes.
