Did you know Capcom of Japan had a "design a robot master" contest for all the Megaman (i.e. Rockman) sequels until 8? If you won, they'd put your boss idea in the game (usually with some minor redesigns.) That's why each boss has its own screen/a person's name attached to it in the credits.

Random game crap that always peeved me:
In Mega Man X your weapon gauge is 28 units. Makes sense, since it's the same as the classic MM games. But in those games EVERYTHING was 28. In X, bosses are 32 HP and so are you @ 8 heart tanks, so the weapon gauge will always be just...slightly shorter.

The weird crap I notice...Somewhat intrigued at the Ikari duo's full art in #MetalSlugTactics coming from different designs entirely

I don't understand how there can exist primetime gameshows with over the top presentation and budgets, stretched into a timeslot twice as long as it needs to be, yet at the end of the night a grand total of $0 is given out. Like, seriously?

MK8DX is fun, but I really hope that when Nintendo makes MK9 that they keep the fatalities in

Can't hear the first 0.5 sec of that first piano note without also hearing the "PSHEWWWWWW" sound and the song cutting out as it goes right to the title screen

Was there a game section too?

Or did they include it cause of its actual CD audio? I remember the game having a really fun soundtrack that worked on (most) CD players. (Some of them would look at Track 01, see it's not audio, shrug their metaphorical shoulders, and give up.)

Thinking about how River City Ransom: Underground, while not the greatest game, did many fun emergent-lore things with the RCR setting, making it distinct yet co-existent with the canon of the Kunio-kun/DD games...only for River City Girls to then fuck it all up in the most weebish way possible. ๐ŸŽฎ

People tend to be afraid of the unknown. I have no idea why that is and, frankly, that scares me.

One of my favorite Final Fantasy/RPGs at large "when you think about it, hey wait a sec" tropes is the abundance of single use, self-destructing tents/sleeping bags.
Like there just needs to be a madman in some random house in a town going on about how HE will be the one to invent the reusable tent.

Well, which movie does he habitually watch? Is it Dune 2, or any other movie? Did he ever decide?!

Flashback to one time where I was at a Street Fighter 4 tournamentโ€”while we were setting up, some dude was parked on one of the TVs playing 2P Tetris Attack against people who had clearly never touched the game in their lives, and he was talking mad shit while he demolished them. Super cringeworthy

An image of an "iconic" scene from Konami's 1992 arcade game X-Men, in which Magneto utters the nonsensical "X-MEN! WELCOME TO DIE!" The image is edited with santa hats added to all characters present, adding to the holiday festivities of the post's body of text.
