Alex has ADHD and somehow completed five MegaMan games for Blue Bombin' and routinely does drumming marathons for charity? That's not just working through it; that's crushing it.

Strong Attack, Strong Attack, Fast Attack, Walk Attack is my favorite Dr. Seuss book.

Rival Schools was great, and Project Justice was even better. I got Project Justice, Power Stone 2, and Tech Romancer (Kikaioh) all around the same time—back when Capcom actually made fighting games—and they all hold up.

Now that you have a Junior Scientist, is there going to be a Ranking of Brawlers (Smash, Power Stone, Rivals of Aether, etc.)? Does the science say brawlers are a subclass of fighters, or a different classification altogether? Would you need a Control Group Brad to help test them?

Is Bushido Blade an Art or a Science?

Great abs, Jobby!

Fight'N Rage probably doesn't deserve a quicker look, but that's a pretty good UPF pick if a few people get into it. There's more to it than it seems.

I withdraw my earlier insults regarding Dan not eating the chip during the recent Playdate. Dan is officially a Real Man™, who hopefully gained something valuable from this experience.

Dan, you are a coward, and if you had any sense of camaraderie, you would have at least eaten the tiniest bit of that chip instead of laughing through your coworkers' and special guest's genuine pain. You likely don't know this, but spicy foods work because of pain receptors, and you have to build up a tolerance towards them.

It may be called being a heel in wrestling, but it's still called being an asshole everywhere else. Patrick even asked you directly why you are so determined to turn everything into a competition, but those of us who understand people like you know you view any form of attention as something positive. If this was supposed to be a competition, then you lost by showing you were the person with the least balls in that room. I'll take this all back and call you a real man if you eat your equivalent of the chip on a later stream.

Everyone else, if you wanted to play it straight, you could have argued that the scores were null and void since you didn't play Civic Doodle, where Abby or Patrick would have certainly crushed it. But we all know the only real winning move is not to play the game.

This video is a work of art. A metaphorical masterpiece.

Find and replace words like "series" and "Dan" then re-read the comments.

It probably wasn't their original intention, but I think of Blue Bombin' in the sense of photobombing, where Alex is challenged to play sometimes unfairly difficult Mega Man games while there's a distraction in the background. But he pulled some especially great moves on this episode, if people didn't notice, and it has been rewarding to watch his gameplay improve. In the end, this is Alex's feature, and he felt like playing Mega Man. I hope they get to 9 and 10, because those are harder but fairer versions of the classic games.

Also, a masterpiece typically refers to an artist's greatest work or one that clearly signifies they are a master of their craft, even though many people think of it as the greatest work in a genre. That still makes sense, since the best work by the best artist should be the greatest of a genre. But Abby was closest without going over.

For your own sake, don't make the 100-coin shines part of the competition. It takes knowing which shine to select at the beginning of each stage to get the best set-up.

The backflip is still in this game: press jump while spraying with R clicked in. This creates a water shotgun, too.

Good luck. You'll need it.
