    “Greedo will rise again,” Felix said. “I’ve got a 486 downstairs with over five years of uptime. It’s going to break my heart to reboot it.”

    “What the everlasting shit do you use a 486 for?”

    “Nothing. But who shuts down a machine with five years uptime? That’s like euthanizing your grandmother.”

    “You’re the world’s leading authority on anti-social, Sario,” Van said. "Go away or I’ll multi-tool you to death.” He stopped scratching and patted his sheathed multi-pliers like a gunslinger.

    “Yeah, I’m anti-social. I’ve got Asperger’s and I haven’t taken any meds in four days. What’s your fucking excuse.”

    Van scratched some more. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I didn’t know.”

    Sario cracked up. “Oh, you are priceless. I’d bet that three quarters of this bunch is borderline autistic. Me, I’m just an asshole. But I’m one who isn’t afraid to tell the truth, and that makes me better than you, dickweed.”

    “Fuckrag,” Felix said, “fuck off.”

    But you don't have to worry about infecting Madagascar.

    It's a decent tradeoff.
  • Yeah, it doesn't matter where you start, really, and Madagascar's always the hardest place to infect.

    Disco Fever is worst disease

    The more I hear about Metroid, the more I believe that it became a feminist series by accident instead of intent.

    Obligatory grousing about Other M goes here.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Metroid is a game where you explore places and shoot things.

    The fact that it has a female protagonist is really not important, it's just that a woman in a video game who DOES STUFF rather than waiting around to be rescued is so RARE and SHOCKING

    I mean that Yoshio Sakamoto is a sexist idiot, and Metroid is best when it is kept out of his paws.

    well then you shoulda just said that

    That's kind of contentious, don't you think?

    Kex, I like to be on the opposite side of popular opinion on video games a lot of the time, but Other M's story is exactly as bad as people make out to be.

    Samus has like, three personality traits and they shit all over all of them.

    never thought I'd see that

    Well yeah, I'm not disagreeing, but it seems a little unfair to place the burden of all of that on him, especially considering he had a hand in creating almost every game in the series that wasn't related to Prime.
  • Or the fact that he's been involved in a ton of projects unrelated to Metroid, for that matter.
  • IIRC the dude specifically mentioned wanting to "correct misconceptions" about Samus via The Other M, or something roughly to that effect.

    I might have to see this movie.

    Anyway I might be being unreasonable, but I was very burned by Other M and I don't care.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Other M is pretty much the only Metroid game I have no interest in playing.

    The variety of failure that was Other M is rarely the result of just one person.

    Except a bunch of the terrible gameplay decisions were Sakamoto's idea, and Team Ninja fought him on it.

    hmm.

    Today I learned Bonnie Tyler had hits other than Holding Out For A Hero and Total Eclipse Of The Heart.

    It's always weird to look up some old band or whatever that you thought was a one-hit wonder and find out they had multiple hits.

    I don't know how anyone let Vanilla Ice have more than one hit.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    MC Hammer had no less than five hit singles
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    probably more

    Isn't it more the plot and characterization that were issues, though? I mean, it's not like Samus was characterized the way she was in Other M in any of the other games Sakamoto directed.

    I don't want to argue about this.

    It's not you, it's me.

    I do not think Last Dance With Mary Jane is a marijuana reference, because the lyrics have nothing to do with marijuana.
  • sometimes people are just named Mary Jane

    There's pigeons down on Market Square
    She's standin' in her underwear
    Lookin' down from a hotel room
    Nightfall will be comin' soon

    I like this line because I can vividly picture it in my head.

    in case you are wondering Dave's miniature horse is named Rocky
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Dave Mustaine is crazy but I still like some of his musics
  • It could be that Sakomoto's had a poor change of heart during the prime period.

    In any case, even if his past performance was excellent, his zealous approval of Other M's story isn't a good sign. Sometimes, creators go bad and need oversight. It just happens.

    I just made up a riff I thought was pretty cool

    but I'll probably forget about it before recording it or anything
