Today I start my epic quest to test myself... to test how many times I can possibly swear and throw a controller before it breaks, to test how frustrated I get when I'm not washing down my games with hours of Blu-ray quality androgyny, to test out the theory I hold that I might not honestly be that good at video games, however painful that would be to admit.
Tonight I'm starting to play Megaman for NES.
Time:
9:30 - 10:19 pm
Progress:
64% through Cut Man Stage
Lessons:
- Blue bouncy balloon animals bounce under your feet and are complete dicks. These are the first things I encountered. They'll swallow you alive unless you can somehow kill them or swallow them with the side-scroll.
- There are some places you have to plan to stand during the ladders + shooters stages, and some times when booking it is all you can do to not get hit.
(note the wincing)
- I can't avoid getting hit by things that are orange and shoot out in 8 directions at once.
- I got just past the gas-power pogo stick by running the hell away from it, and then died from a screw that came out of the floor. A screw.
