Excuse me Cranky, but have you even picked up a Metroid game? I don’t think you have. I think you have an issue with the female video game characters. I think that is what your problem is.  ”But the themes are very, very dark, not like sunny old Super Mario.” Dark, you accuse me of having a “dark” theme? Excuse me, the entire HUMAN RACE IS BEING DESTROYED BY ENERGY SUCKING ALIENS!!!! That’ll make a great cheerful story. Yeah, “sunny old Super Mario,” unlike Mr. Mario, I’m not in the habit of spending my weekend golfing with beast who keeps steeling the princess. I don’t have a trust complex. I know who my enemies are and I kill them. But what really irks me is this whole “dark” theme. What’s so dark about Super Metroid? You think “A Link to the Past” wasn’t dark?

Okay folks, I need to set some stuff straight. After my last post I have been flooded with email asking me if I am depressed, offering moral support, giving me yellow ribbon cards and trying to sell me watches. I’m not suicidal, I’m not sick of life, I was just a bit lonely. I like my job, I really do! I got around to sitting and listening the other day and I have come to the conclusion that the best part of my life, is the music.

(Okay, so maybe I have no choice but to listen to the pause music for hours, but that doesn’t make it any less good!) Music is a big part of  [ Read More ]

So I’m paused while fighting the Omega Pirate, and I’ve been standing around for the better part of forty-five minutes now and I have basically come to the realization that I have no friends. It’s really rather sad. Here I am, risking my butt to save this stupid planet, when in all reality, there isn’t a creature on this planet that doesn’t want me dead! Why should I even get involved? What harm would come of just nuking the place? See, this I don’t understand. When Link saves Hyrule, he’s saving the people there. Mario goes out to save Peach. Me? I go out and kill things that want me dead. Sure, I’m a bounty-hunter, but why can’t I just blow up the planet? If the planet goes, so will the creatures on it, no harm done to me. Job done, it’s party time! I don’t have to fight these  [ Read More ]
