In Skyrim one of the quotes the guards can say is something to the effect of "I used to be an adventurer, but then I took an arrow to the knee". Just like mudcrabs from Oblivion this gets repeated far too often. As it turns out every arrow in Skyrim is a knee seeker if the guards are to be believed.

I see. I've never played Skyrim (personally, I think the Elder Scrolls series is very boring), so I had no idea where people were getting this from.

Attempting my first ever minimalist run-through of Megaman X4. Things were going great till I got to Double. Turns out that in the 10+ years of owning this game, I have never once tried to use his actual weapon specific weakness.

...let's just say it was a real 'what the hell?' moment. And then I died.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I don't understand ... you used the weapon he should be weak in and got your ass handed to you?

My guess is that he experimented and had trouble hitting him with a few of the not-so-effective weapons you can use on him. On topic, the Sonic Adventure 2 boss rush... on Biolizard... in his second form... when his health bar was in the red zone... FUUUUUUUU~

Double is weak to the Double Cyclone weapon. Does a shit ton of damage to him but...

everytime you hit him with it, he creates either a floating gun platform or a bouncing blade. So you have to blow those up while dodging him and his attacks. It turned into a freaking mess. I have beaten X4 at least twenty times and I have never actually used that weapon against him before.

Hurray for over quoted video game memes while attempting cleverness... I'm looking at you, cake is a lie.
