This demands further explanation...
It's actually a pretty funny story and video game related, not sure why I didn't post the story at the get go. Anyway,

My friend is a Marine, and he's in town visiting family for the holidays and all that. He came by my apt last night. We talked for a bit, and ended up indulging in a past-time favorite: playing Dragon Ball Z fighters. We picked Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit, that game rocks.

I get pretty competitive when playing fighters sometimes, but I'm pretty bad at the DBZ fighters. He was laying the smack down on me pretty hard. Eventually we came to the conclusion that the only way to settle who the supreme champion is was to fight each other out back. We used to fight for fun a lot in High School. Back then I was a 230 lbs athlete ready to take on pretty much anyone, and would smack him up pretty good. Now I'm a scrawny 140 lbs weakling that plays video games and watches anime all day. He's a 180 lbs trained combat machine.

Needless to say, things did not go well. I woke up feeling like I was run over by a truck, and it hurts to laugh or cough. Going down stairs is also very painful. We didn't throw any punches to the face or anything, but I will say after beating me down for about 10 minutes, he literally did this to me:

So yeah, it was fucking sweet.

That looks like an I-can't-breathe-for-30-seconds move...

Reminds me of that on time I slipped on the ice and fell flat on my back. Scary stuff...

Same here! I stopped playing when I lost the sheet of paper I used to keep up with my passwords. I was so close to beating it too. :(

It didn't knock the wind out of me but it crippled me for a minute or two.

It's cool that some of you guys like Chip's Challenge too, back in the day I only had one friend who even knew what it was without me having to tell them. haha

It amazes me that Konami has never made a proper Castlevania or Contra collection.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
