I wondered how many other entries had games with wizards, so I put “Wizard” into the entry search field and found a single page. A paltry 18 entries out of thousands. “Are wizards losing favor?” I pondered. So I decided to compare a few terms to see how wizards stacked up:
Wizard:18
Ninja:20
Knight:24
Robot:67
Pirate:16
Ah ha! Wizards beat pirates! But all were soundly thumped by:
Cat:237
Impressive, unless you consider:
Eat:835
Wow. And what about the internet’s eternally most searched term????
Sex:5
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Ninjas beat pirates!!! Yaaaaah! (ps. my game is about a ninja fighting pirates)
16 pirates could kill 20 ninjas! Also 18 wizards would beat all 237 cats. Cool game BTW.
Here’s my lonely wizard, for those interested:

In our game, you play a Wizard character, although we ran out of time and it’s more “implied” than anything.
It’s also 3D!

I’m actually surprised there were that many!
Well, what’s the point in being a pirate if you aren’t a PROUD pirate. I tip my rum to ye.
Eat returns create, so search for ” eat ” (34). Same for cat (17).
You are technically correct. You also apparently missed the joke.
