I get bored being so unreasonably good at every video game I play. I go to the arcade and see my initials on the high score of every machine. What do I do now? What is there left to conquer? This must have been exactly how Napoleon felt

I can't wait until the end of Skies of Arcadia where Cupil gains the ability to transform into a Desert Eagle and blows every enemy's shit smooth off

You all are missing the very obvious symbolism and meaning of the blue auras and trails in Wolverine What you have to remember is blue is his house with a blue little window and a blue corvette and everything is blue for him and himself and everybody around cause he ain't got nobody to listen to.

I hope GTA 6 has a level of realism and immersion that's we haven't yet seen in video games. Let me apply for multiple credit cards in-game that then send me violently spiraling into debt that affects both me and my game character and we both get ulcers and do drugs and live in a box

I told my therapist I've been feeling real blah about games lately. He told me: "Listen to the podcast Video Games: Analyzed. Season 2 premiers soon. You listen and they tell you what classic games are worth playing today." I said, "But therapist, I am Video Games: Analyzed season 2 premiers soon"

And of course there were the bosses. Spark man, snake man, needle man, hard man, top man, Gemini man, magnet

E with the differences between lives that we live and the lives that Mega Man accumulates. How can one feel terror, hope, fear, love, sadness, joy, ecstasy, when ones lives can go up and down as Mega Mans does. Even moreso, when Mega Man loses all of his lives, his game over is only temporary. The

Had multiple "lives" that go up and down over time. When Mega Man falls into a pit or takes enough damage that his HP (Healthy Points) goes to 0, his lives go down. When he collects 1-ups, his lives go up. We, as humans, only have one life. If any of us falls into a pit or takes enough damage that

Our BP (Blood Pressure) goes to 0, it's game over. Literally. Not figuratively. Not metaphorically. Literally. So in that way, we as people cannot live like Mega Man and we cannot connect to Mega Man as a person. This is one of the wedges driven between the player and the game. How does one reconcil

Man, and shadow man all stood in the way of Mega Man from reaching his goals. These bosses were roadblocks, impediments that the player was meant to defeat, one after the other. Not unlike life, where we are each faced with challenges that we must face one after the other. And sometimes, similar to

The bosses in Mega Man 3, conquering one of.lifes challenges could imbue or impart onto the an ability or power needed to defeat the next if life's challenge. But there's a distinct difference between Mega Man 3 and real life: in Mega Man 3, Mega Man, the main character (protagonist) of Mega Man 3,
