Absolutely my favorite classic series game, no contest.

The part I love most about Megaman 8 is definitely the soundtrack. It's so unique when compared to all of the others.

It's this sort of weird belief that you have to be like, a blue/white collar worker to truly have some kind of stake in the game.

If you're a creative, you MUST focus on creating only. No opinions or feelings. Only create.

Came for the cool lunging dismemberment animation, staying to watch everything else unfold.

My take away is that 4chan was and still is an incredible mistake. The magnitude just increases, that's all.

Just change it to Brave Earth Zero. Or Brave Earth Alpha. Easy!

Tony Stark (scientist, powered armor), Iron Fist (trained martial artist because I thought the idea of doing kung fu while Ace Combating it up was awesome) and Nathan Spencer (cyborg, the specifics of how his cybernetics worked and the fact that his superhero name was literally Bionic Commando).

All characters will ultimately contain elements of another character because that's how inspiration works! Heroes, villains and everything in-between!

A friend was going to run a superhero TTRPG years ago and I'd be first to tell you that the basis of my idea came from three different characters.

I think it's a matter of friction tolerance. Stopping at a dot on the map to X-Ray Scan followed by discerning the attached...not so much PUZZLE per say, but the required task for acquiring whatever item was there always felt like JUST enough of a break in the pace that it bugged me.

@gog.com Nope.

Doug TenNapel showing his whole ass? Must be a day ending in y.

Bombing the fuck out of walls and checking tiles ain't exploration! That's archaeology!

I feel like by Super, the writing was on the wall for Metroid's popularity being much greater in the west and with how Nintendo was at the time, I think a bit of that went into Super.

The rest I feel is just 'When we made Metroid 1, we obnoxiously scattered shit everywhere because memory issues'.

My Metroid hot take is that I think a fair amount of stuff people liked about 1 to Super were just things that are ultimately padding or meant to deter rentals at the time.

Also I think the perceived notion of Samus as some taciturn stoic cardboard cutout is both extremely boring and a bit sexist.

Only other guy I can think of who gets to do that is Mike Mignola with Hellboy.
