That dogs name is Red XIII. When I was little I didn't know how roman numerals had X for ten. But I still knew how to read the III, probabaly from the game title itself containing VII.
So for all of my childhood in my household we confidently spoke about that dog out loud as "Red X the Third"
When I was young I heard the phrase "time marches inexorably forward" and I always thought it was one of those really cool phrases everyone knew from some philosopher or like from Shakespeare or some highbrow source of wisdom or wit.
Recently I looked it up, and I can't for the life of me figure out where it came from, or why I thought it was one of those ubiquitous things everyone had heard before. It was probably actually from some X-Men cartoon or something silly but I'll never figure it out.
I wish I could go back in time and figure out where I heard that phrase with that specific wording but, you know what they say....
