Simply Rotten

I never knew that Rotten Tomatoes did game reviews. Red mentions the site often enough, but only for movies. Interesting to me, natch, are the Mega Man scores. X7 got an unbelievable 0%(60% and over constitutes a "fresh" tomato, just so you know. Yes, that's a good...

Looking Back…

Ever have something you enjoyed a lot once upon a time, but quit following for no particular reason come back, and suddenly you can't get enough? Well, it's been happening to me lately. And what it is, is just a little out of the ordinary, by my reckoning. It's not GI...

Code of Hero

For those in Canada, getting YTV, was anyone else here able to see "Code of Hero" on "Beasties" earlier this morning? For those who didn't know it was on, it comes on again at 2:30pm. Anyway, to my greatest regret, I had not seen this episode before, due to either...

Thoughts on Mega Man Legends 2

I've just gone through part of Elysium in Mega Man Legends 2. For the first time, actually, save for a few "feeling out" trips before. "What, you STILL haven't finished that?!" is what you're probably saying. Yes, it's true, but I've decided it's high time I went...

Mega Man X6: Revisited

No big secret that I feel that Mega Man X6 is, or at least was at the time(given peoples' feelings on X7, both for good and bad), perhaps the worst title in the entire Mega Man X series. Now, I've been playing through the PS MM games recently... and I guess maybe I've...

My complaint about Capcom

Something had to be said... ...as it reads differently each time you view/refresh. While Capcom needs no introduction, I do want to state that the confusion that Capcom creates is desirable and convenient to our national enemies. Permit me this forum to rant. To make...

At long last…

Today, I finally got to see the movie I've pretty much waited my whole life for... Garfield the Movie. What can I say, I'm a life-long fan. I've been reading him since the first grade(or earlier), and he taught me how to draw. And despite what some people may say...

Argh

Know what? Fuck Battle Network 3. For all the good stuff I'd said about it, it just reached a point where it's too damn annoying early in the game. At first the random encounters don't seem to come as much, but after the first boss, they amp it up, and they won't let...

2 vs. 1

Re: 2-player Nintendo games Just wanted to throw my two cents in on the subject. But before I do... Metroid as 2-player? Like, the original Metroid? Or am I just reading it wrong? Anyway, I don't mind 2-player alternating games, though I think Nintendo had improved on...

Hyper Street Fighter Aniversary BS

Yet another mild rant from the guy who loves the Capcom games but constantly finds himself hating the Capcom company. Looking at an upcoming release I have interest in, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, I have to admit I'm VERY disappointed in what we're being...

Capcom pisses me off sometimes.

For Nintendo, the past few years, we've gotten: Mega Man Battle Network, MMBN2, MMBN3 White & Blue, MMBN4 Red Sun & Blue Moon, MMBN5 soon, MMNTranmission, MMZero 1, 2, and 3, 2 MMAnniversary Collections, and MMX Command Mission. Sorta implies that Nintendo is THE...

Battle Chip Challenge

Finally played Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge, and honestly... I like it.? Quite a bit, actually.? Seems to have a nice BN feel with lots of characters from all over the series in it.? Inticreates(guys behind the MMZero series) did pretty good with it. The gameplay,...

Bizarre Canadian Laws

Mega Man #3 and #4… reviewed! For your pleasure.

Finally getting on with this... dunno why it's taken me so long. Big shout out to Cham-Chams for donating a copy of each to me, they're my definite favorites of the series. Thanks. 🙂 Anyway, I hope the presence of spoilers doesn't deter anyone, since I figure most...

Bionicle: Mask of Light

Ok, where to start... Just saw the movie Bionicle: The Mask of Light, after having it run on a TV set off to the side in R-Zone for some time now. And really, it's not bad. I recommend it to those who love Bionicle, computer animation, and/or Scott McNeil, who has...

MegaMan #2

Damn, I missed Armada today. But at least I got the new issue of MegaMan! Oh, wait... And yes, there be spoilers. Let's see, where to start. First, the cover. Felt rather misleading, somehow. The whole "MegaMan Vs. the falling sky" thing is basically your opening, and...

Life has finally passed me by…

I consider myself young at heart. I still collect and play with toys, buy comic books to read them, not to sell them, and while not as hardcore as I once was, I still play video games. I enjoy cartoons, for young and for old. I enjoy movies like Blade and Terminator,...
