I've been playing plenty of Mega Man recently, in anticipation of Mega Man 9. You know, I forgot how difficult these games truly are. Elec Man has got to have the most insane stage ever. These games bring back plenty of memories, from sitting in my kindergarten class, spending the entire day plotting Charge Man's demise (I HATED Charge Man) to playing side by side with my dad, both of us standing no chance against the any game in the series.

This morning, I began playing through Mega Man 2. Crash Man's stage was a pest as always, but I made my way to Wily's castle. I spent more time in Wily's abode then playing the rest of the game. I must wonder, what kind of architect did he hire? Pits full of spikes that must be precisely navigated? Helplessley twisted moving platforms? Rooms with guns and walls that can only be taken down using the Crash bombs, but you don't have enough bombs to do them all? Wily is indeed a mad man for conceiving such twised rooms. I wonder what it is like for him to go to the bathroom. He needs dispel the proverbial water, yet must precisely navigate a series of ladders, and jump great distances while being sure to watch out for gargantuan man eating fish. If you wanted to keep Mega Man out, why not simply call a security company? I'm sure if you pay the right price, they won't ask who their client is. If you have enough money to construct a new army of robotic war machines every year, I'm sure you can afford a little alarm. The police will show up, and Mega Man can't do a thing if wishes to preserve his good image. Of course, for Dr. Wily, it isn't that simple. He must taunt us with his ridiculous interior decorating, which would make the staff at HGTV commit mass suiide.

One last note, Wily. You seem to be a creative guy, having made innocent things such as bubbles and trains into viscious, lethal weapons. Why not use that creativity and come up with a new plan? Sooner or later, Mega Man could probably just guard your mail box, stopping anyone from delivering your shipment of robot parts. At the very least, why not try 9 robot masters?

Anyways, I can't wait for Mega Man 9. I just hope it isn't so hard that I break another controller.
