I didn't exactly live in an apartment complex and the landlord lived somewhere far away. I don't even know why he brought them, he just did.

That really isn't that strange. When I was a kid we had a lamb living in our backyard. It was back there for two years before my Dad took it to a slaughter house.

Damn you dude. As it stood before your post, Nemesis X was playing with Lamas, not LLamas, when he got pwned. uhuh
Makes his story a little more funnier.

whats a lamas anyway? 🙁

I really want a pet pygmy goat one day, so...

Also, I think I may finally have managed to get into Metroid. I just spent an hour and a half playing Fusion, and thoroughly enjoying it so far. Only took me twenty years.

1) have you ever played a Metroid game (not in the Prime series) and liked it?

2) do you like japanese storytelling with long cutscenes?

3) do you like simple controls in a mostly 3D environment?

if you answered yes to all three, maybe give it a try.


There a reason why you excluded the Primes in your first question?

Eh, nevermind what I was missing. Came across the last two items earlier unexpectedly when I was fooling around.
Spoiler:
After I fought and beat Phantoon, again, and before I got far enough to the cutscene where Samus discovers Adam's helmet, there was one missile tank in the room at the bottom of the elevator where you jump and roll into a nearby vent, and the other where you look up on the ceiling in the small room before the helmet cutscene, and wall jump up until you reach it.
I was just totally confused at first because of where they were located on the map. Have found the map to be pretty misleading at times.

Anyhow, hard mode. I played some of it having unlocked it. I hate how there's no missile tanks, energy tanks, etc. like there were before. They could've at least had one or two of the things that make your beam charge faster. It's basically just you, the stuff Adam authorizes you to use, and enemies with more health and much more devastating attacks. Even the simplest of mini-bosses can literally kill you in one or two hits. The farthest I got on hard mode was

Spoiler:
up to where Adam finally authorizes you to use the Varia Suit and you fight that weird lava monster, the first real boss
. With no energy tanks though, I just got frustrated and rage quit after awhile. Might attempt it again some other time... Dunno. I read that you don't earn anything in beating hard mode other than bragging rights, so I'm not exactly all that motivated to finish it.

And lol @ lamas.

Alright, this is probably going to be my last time on KMC until I get a break from college. So, keep it real, guys and gals.

Have lots and lots of fun.

We should game it up when I get back, Cy.

They're great.

wtf? I just realized that I took the time to write a review for Other M... this goes directly against my lazy tendencies...

I must be a luzr if college wasn't enough to keep me from coming here.

At least what you would have to say (in the form of a review) would be tons better than seeing more of the dumb sexist rants and crappy exaggerations about Samus being "out of character" that's been posted all across the internet.

Nice X-rays, Scythe. I think I got an X-ray pic of my teeth here somewhere...

This is very interesting indeed. More interesting is, when I discussed the same subject with a friend, I found that some people prefer a main character who is simply a caricature of mindless, all-consuming violence. He doesn't see the redemption plot in the first game, only the overarching theme of revenge for the series. I'm intrigued by the fact we could both play and enjoy God of War, yet get two entirely different things out of it.

Did not know the director was different for the sequels. Now it makes sense.

Scream, where you be at son? I get on the nets and I never see you.

Go buy Other M, it's good.

I will, trust me, no way I'm missing out. 😛

And yeah, been MIA a lot, haven't I? @_@

You have! Play Other M, damnit.

One of us, one of us, one of us...
