Have you longed for its essence? Crawled the alleys searching for some sort of life-giving pod that could replicate the feeling it delivers to your mind and body? Well, we’re back.
Go, friends! Flock there and subscribe so that it may rain down upon your chest on a regular basis!
Here’s something fresh that should be way up on your “grab dat” radar, if you don’t have it already.
This is a sexy little set! It’s pretty pricey, but if you dug Kikaida at all, this is a follow-up that really jams in as much as possible to the existing formula. Thought Hakaida was cool? How about a whole Hakaida Force?
Nab it.
While it may be fun for a boss to meticulously lay out a plan for dispatching whatever would-be hero happens to be trolloping their way, the greatest of props are delivered to those that just prefer to duke it out and see whose energy runs out first. Still, while it seems a bit savage, there’s strategy woven even in these bare threads.
Por exemplo, the boss is, nine times out of ten, at an advantage with this method. If the minions and traps peppered throughout his domain have done their respective jobs, then the hero(es) should be a bit worse for wear than their adversary; likely waiting patiently with goblet (or a jug of Midnight Train, depending on their evil social status) in hand.
It’s also just plain gnarly, right? The hero dashes in expecting some drawn out battle and suddenly the two are just lashing and stabbing back and forth until one falls. These are probably the most “realistic” boss fights.
The first games that should come to mind in these cases are the above pictured Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden series, though the former stopped using this technique for the most part once it started leaning more toward exploration, and the latter since it stopped being 2D.
These are what got me on this mental kick, specifically the badass NG2&3 runs by Jim Hanson.
No spoilers, folks, just some quick listin’ for you sexy, potentially homeless list whores.
5. Heroes (s1) – Sort of fun, yet incredibly anticlimactic.
4. Veronica Mars (s3) – I guess the show is over for good? Great series, but that was a sad ending with little closure.
3. The Shield (s6) – Hell of a season; completely intense and brutal. The wrap-up only semi-closed one major arc, though, so it’s more of a bridge to the final season than anything else.
2. 24 (s6) – Though it was probably the most uneven day yet, the 2-part finale was as explosive as any summer blockbuster, and the last scene packed some major emotional punch. I’m more interested in them potentially taking the show outside of LA next time.
1. Lost (s3) – Fantastic.
I’ve never played Starcraft. Are any of you that aren’t Asian excited about the sequel?
Question #2: Are any of you that have a beating heart and breathe oxygen not excited about John Rambo after seeing the trailer?
Apologies for the slow weekend, ladies, I just got back from Virginia Beach. I have a lot of work to catch up on, but, as far as The JLR goes, should I extend Boss Week or move on?
