The occasional panned guitar blasts work well as an imitation of alarms going off, and the frantic rhythm gives a sense of urgency. All the while, though, there's a slowly advancing harmony over it all, and occasionally a determined melody.

This is probably some of the best music I know of at giving a sense of determination in a crisis.

I didn't expect fantastic music when we picked up ZX, though perhaps I should have; good music is common in the Megaman series.

I feel like, rather than capturing the mood, this track sets the mood of the scene (I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers) in a masterful way.

neat thing about driving a hybrid: instead of that feeling of an automatic transmission shifting gears, there's the engine turning on or off

apparently in speedrunning megaman x2 there is no 100% category because collecting everything is actually faster than not collecting everything, because you get the shoryuken that ohkos all bosses for the final boss rush

i think i made this joke before but it's a good one

Which do you find nicer to play on?

(context: thinking about getting one in the future to be able to take advantage of dual-cart things some games use, with a gba game and a ds game both in the console)

is megaman 9 an actual NES ROM being played as a virtual console thing, or is it just a Wii game with a *lot* of attention to detail re: NES limitations?

uspol, serious question 

what the hell kind of rhetoric convinces people that "we should help people who need it" is an idea to be opposed??? why are people against the whole medicare for all idea??

(no, i have no idea what it means, but i felt like doing this)

apparently in megaman 7 if you hold B while entering shademan's stage, the music is replaced with a remix of the ghouls 'n' ghosts music

i appreciate that

mh~ 

today's mood seems to be "okay, but it wouldn't take much to move to not okay"

to be fair we *did* use an action replay to get the area K sub tank, because fuck that tight timing stuff, that's all kinds of frustrating

Just managed to beat Megaman ZX on normal difficulty! It's not the hardest game ever but we normally have to go for easy mode in anything actiony so that's a Thing!

i like how megaman speedrunners refer to uncharged buster shots as "lemons"

question re: speedrunning (maybe twitch) 

what does "sour please" mean in the context of speedrunning?

uspol, - 

ughhhh
the incompetent fool of a white-house resident is apparently visiting our college campus on saturday
