Heads up, MST3K fans: Volume XVII is already here!

Wily Level 1 is evil

But I love it.   Since this is a spoiler-free zone I am forbidden from saying more.   But what I will say are a few words of my impressions of Mega Man 10 after spending around three hours with it today and beating all eight robot masters.  In no particular order:   Love the new enemy ideas, such as: The Mettaurs which shoot the sticky goo crap at you in Pump Man’s level ...[Read More]

AHEM) I found it to keep quiet after having witnessed the new bosses back at CES a month ago.  Having said that, we never really got a great look at the rest of the game's environments or the various weaponry that the bosses begot (yes, it's a word, I just looked it up smartass).

World to end; unruly polymorphic viruses to blame

BONUS: Which one of our responses did not come from Smash Bros? {hwdvs-player}977{/hwdvs-player}   Yes, we are professional. SUPER PROFESSIONAL AND SERIOUS.
