    But the time has come for me to stop. Thank you for watching, and here's your final videos of mine until an undetermined point in the future. Please continue watching everyone else's videos. Most of them are better than mine.

    The end of X2! Part 1! Part 2!

    You are a tougher man than I Gilder.

    Gilder, your return better be a live run-through of Kaizo Mario World.

    Actually, that would guarantee a full retirement.

    I'm surprised it took you this long to decide to stop! You started with Mario 1 in September and have since done Mario 2, Lost Levels, Mario 3, Mario World, Goemon 2, Donkey Kong Country 3, Pink Panther goes to Hollywood, Mega Man X, Mega Man Zero, and now Mega Man X2. That's 11 games and a shit ton of videos within half a year! If anything you owe yourself a break. I'm sure we'll manage from this point on. 8-)

    Take your break, Gilder. After recording through the pains and humilations of the classic Mario games, Gohemon 2, DKC3, Pink Panther, and then Megaman X, X2, and Zero in the span of what, four, five months? I'm suprized you aren't a raving madman who needs to be put in a straight jacket and locked in a padded cell right now raving about Mavericks that have invisable curse mushroom blocks above them for weapons that you need to throw into their back with a terrible hitbox like a barrel. If I were on a computer that had audio, I'd watch the final video for X2 right now. I dunno how sane I will be when I finish X6 if the retardness I encountered with the easy as hell Nightmare Zero fight are any indication.


    Speaking of X6... Vote for the next boss in X6 people! I'll be doing my next video tommrow at the latest, possibly later tonight at the earliest. If I get no votes by the time I start recording... I pick the next boss. Probally the one that gives Zero the skill I really need, if I can remember which one it is or find it in a FAQ.

    I vote for whichever of the two (Bit or Blade) that you've got the weakness for, mostly out of pity for you playing that game, bloodattonment.

    Also, should you mispronounce my name, I will destroy you. It's "Terr" like "tearing a sheet of paper" then "ren" which is said like "hen." Wrap it up with "dos," just like the Spanish word. Also note that the emphasis goes on the second syllable, as in TerRENdos rather than TERRendos or TerrenDOS, which would be the Terran Disk Operating System.

    EDIT: And Mecha, I vote for whichever one has the skill that would help you least. I have channelled my maliciousness away from blood, and with nowhere left to send it, have placed it in a flaming bag on your doorstep.

    Err, Kupi, great video and all, but...

    Crash/Clash Bombs are the first wall destroyer in the traditional sense, unless of course you count Guts Blocks which can be destoryed by Elec Beam or Guts Arm.

    The big met can be slid under. It just has tricky timing.

    Other than that though, you're pretty much right on.

    I'm voting Bit Man, just because the fucker's an eyesore on the stage select screen. Bright Yellow? Dr. W. needs some gay buddies to help him design more visually appealing murder machines. Like Plant Man, now there's a family friendly death bot.

    I always kind of assumed Dr. Wily got his money by selling some of his robot designs on the black market. I mean when you think about it, Mega Man seems to be the only one ever able to stop his world domination plans so they must be pretty viable.

    It may also be that Wily is such a laughing stock that the rest of the world can't take him seriously anymore, and so no one bothers to stop him. The rest of the world is content to let him waggle his eyebrows and own the 8 amusement parks his latest crop of robots has decided to take over. Not Dr.Light though, he wants to go to those amusement parks and refuses to settle for another trip to Disney World.

    I mean, Wily builds his castles out of giant skulls, his floor plans look like something out of a bad fun house and he designs his robots with flaws that can be easily exploited by the weapons he gives to his other robots (knowing full well that the only one who bothers to stop him can assimilate these weapons to use against him) and then there's the fact that he's still flying around in the same flying saucer he's had since 200X. This guy makes even the most incompetent of Austin Powers villians look like a genuine threat.

    Really the only thing he ever gets right is giving the robots better armor then megaman, so that when they run into him, he's the one who gets hurt.

    And yet Wily brings the world to almost total ruin by creating Zero and the virus that would later merge with Sigma. Events in Megaman X and beyond are all his doing, which gets him major asshole points in my opinion.

    Actually, that makes perfect sense. Distract the populace and Megaman with incredibly comical robots and castle funhouses while creating the key to armageddon in secret. Even if Megaman wanted to stop those plans, he probably isn't powerful enough to stop Zero, let alone the Sigma virus. It makes more sense than Dr.Light leaving capsules around and being able to communicate through hologram anyway.

    By the way, most of these videos have been awesome so far. As much as I get a kick out of Gilder's videos he will be missed, at least until he decides to make videos again.

    Spoilered question, hoping to draw on the collective MM knowledge here.
    So I get that Dr. Wily designed Zero, and that somehow that ties into the eventual Sigma virus. I don't understand how that ties into the events of X5, which I have admittedly not played in ages. What's the rundown on Zero and his involvement with Sigma and the state of the world going from the X games into the Zero games?

    Thanks guys.

    According to the video on Maverick Hunter X, when Sigma was still a good guy he was told to go investigate a dangerous robot in a mine or some place like that. That robot was Zero and he infected Sigma there but Zero also forgot his own purpose, for some reason I can't remember. So Sigma became evil and yadda yadda, everything up until X5 happens. I'm pretty sure the good ending is the real ending but the thing is, we haven't actually seen why the world goes into ruin in the Zero games. All we know is it had to do with the Cyber Elf Wars. It's a mystery as to how everything actually happened, you just have to go with whatever Cyber-X and the other characters tell you.

    Also just because I want to bring it back to his attention, Ohtsam if you're reading this then please come back and do more videos. Come on, we all enjoy them. Don't leave us hanging. Please?

    Thanks Gilder. What this means, of course, is that I'm going to have to finally get around to playing the Zero games. For some reason, I've yet to play any of them. In retrospect, that's kinda a travesty.

    And yes. Ohtsam, we need videos. Your LP's are an elegant study in the human balance of triumph and tragedy, with a decided emphasis on the latter. You make us feel.

    Shady, it's easier to see Megaman's blossoming into womanhood if you choose new game. Just look at Megaman on the character select screen. Once you see them, you can't not see them. Like the arrow in the FedEx logo.

    Also remember, you're going to see a lot of data discs you won't actually be able to get because you're not Bass. You actually have to go through the entire game twice if you want to get them all to view all the information.

    Lastly, oh my yes MM&B has a terrible translation at points. Like the shop. In the instruction book it can't even decided what to call the characters half the time. I know it calls Treble "Gospel" at some points even though Treble is used earlier and I think they call Protoman "Blues" a few times as well.
