    this is why I can beat sting chameleon with just the buster

    hell I think I'll play it right now

    haha, same here

    I never got that good at it, but I knew where all the hidden stuff was. I think I still do, actually

    I tried playing it on the PS2 collection earlier this year and couldn't get past the first part of Spark Mandrill's stage. I must've been sick or something

    I got really ridiculously good at it

    there are better players, of course

    like you can go to youtube and watch speedruns that are not only faster but they also don't get any heart tanks

    and I doubt I could manage that without a whole bunch of practice

    Yeah, 80s action is hard to surpass

    Also it's amazing how between the 80s and 00s attention spans apparently halved and pacing was jacked up by a factor of 10

    That's basically studios wanting to market films as "The most action-packed movie evar!!!!!1!"

    Which is okay up to a point, that point being the Michael Bay Transformers movies. When all the flashy action scenes and big explosions in the world can't make an action movie enjoyable, because the rest of the film is absolute dreck.

    Also a reflection of budget changes over time.

    Back in the day, you couldn't have explosions through every scene in a movie, because that would blow out your entire budget. You had to save that shit up for a few key scenes and get the best bang for your buck (literally).

    It's even more obvious when you start looking back at 'action' movies from even earlier, like 'The French Connection' or 'The Dirty Dozen'.

    These days, though, you can have high budget action scenes with pyro, car chases, CG effects and all sorts from inception to end.

    I believe the last two star wars films don't have a single frame in them without some kind of CG special effect added.

    Really at that point they stop being 'special'.

    I need to do postings for one of the religious studies classes I am taking right now. Given that I post on forums all the time, this should not be difficult.

    posting on class discussion boards teaches you how to rip into people in the most polite manner

    I saw it when I wasn't a kid, maybe that matters? All of the faux commotion and yelling is just really annoying. Short Round is annoying. The fat kid is annoying. Half of the movie is the group trying to create a sense of chaos and it's really hammy and dumb.

    And then Super Metroid, because that is another ridiculously awesome SNES game.
