I first played Mega Man 2 in the original japanese, Rockman. It was a bootleg Famicom cartridge, but as a little kid my eyes still bulged at the price my parents paid to get me the game. So all I knew from it was the cover of a pudgy blue costumed man without a hand; I didn't even had the time to play it a bit at the game store to decide if I liked it. I was like, "he seems cool!", and they bought it for me.
So when I got home and plugged the cart in, and japanese text appeared to set the scene (which I ignored), so I pressed start to skip all that, to see the blue guy don his helmet and disappear. Followed by a screen of eight faces and a letter W at the center. Who the hell are all these guys then? Now completely lost, I thought I was supposed to find the blue guy with his friends, so I chose one at random (Wood Man!) I was presented with his visage and his signature move (a stomach beating roar?).... and then after the word READY blinked thrice in front of the forest stage the pudgy blue guy appeared. What.
It took me a long time to connect who the eight men were, and the ominous girdered wall at the end of Bubble Man's stage sure was a surprise. But not so much until I entered the closed chamber and Bubble Man came down from the ceiling and posed menacingly! I died less than ten seconds later, but my mind was blown even before then, finally understanding what Mega Man 2 was really about.
Marv Wolfman's name was why artists started getting credited at Marvel.
Gerry Conway, who wrote the horror-host interstitial pages between stories, wrote in one issue that the following story was told by a "wandering Wolfman." The Comics Code Authority, which did not permit the mention of werewolves or wolfmen, demanded it be removed. DC informed the Authority that "Wolfman" was the writer's last name, so the Authority insisted he be given a credit to show the "Wolfman" was a real person. Once Wolfman was given a credit, other writers demanded them as well. Shortly, credits were given to all writers and artists.[72]
it sounds like you mean started getting credited at DC
writers, artists, inkers and letterers started receiving credit at Marvel at least as early at the point where the "Marvel" brand began (Fantastic Four #1 in 1962) and possibly before. That was one of Stan Lee's innovations - he put in the credits and gave everyone goofy nicknames ("Joltin'" Joe Sinnott, etc) so fans could build what we'd now call a parasocial relationship with creators.
DC published all its comics anonymously until the late 60s/early 70s
Wow.
Yeah, it's not great.
HOWEVER
at the same time, it was done in a way different way from how most comics are done now - in a way, more like bigger enterprises like movies or video games. People at DC mostly actually put on a suit and tie and went to work in the actual offices and they sat in a big 50s-style office at rows of desks working on the books in a very assembly-line fashion. Stories were devised, not by writers, but by editors ("yeah see in this one Batman turns into a goil!") and writers just kind of filled in the gaps of plot, motivation, etc. Art was done by whoever was available to draw that page right now this instant, and artists were trained to draw a lot like each other so they could be more interchangeable.
So there are these like, comics historians who go back and try to figure this stuff out and sometimes a single 8-page story in a Superman or Batman comic might be the assembled work of like 12 different people. And of course, those people should be credited, but you can kind of see why it took them a while to push for it - if all I did on a story was fill in a couple of word balloons, or I just drew the city scape on page 3 but nothing else, I wouldn't feel that proprietary over the story.
Pretty wild that historians are having to piece together sources for something from the 20th century like historians who study the Old Testament.
"Depiction of passages written by P-source created by M-source."
"NO NO. That is clearly a J-source derived version of Noah and we can see a distinct difference in the linework on his hands in these two panels which obviously means that it was created through joint effort of the L and V-source!"
I can't believe listening to a podcast about the Bible would allow me to get a joke.....

Why is their feedback thing a link to their discord, just let me send you a bug report!
Because for some reason everyone tries to use discord as a substitute for having a website/forum/external ticketing system, despite it being really bad for that purpose.

Alice is an excitable, slightly air-headed cat girl who's made herself right at home, thanks to Elena's auntie. The two begin to bond in their free time - could this be the answer to Elena's loneliness? Find out in this short, sweet, and lewd yuri visual novel!"

I bought the subscription thing for Origin. Now I have access to loads of games I've never played before, it's so exciting! So I decided to play Mass Effect for the 50th time.
Boy does this game look like dogshit now. I still love it though. Definitely my favourite story of the 3.

My brief stint in QA has given me a very low tolerance of bugs in games that go live.
Devs absolutely know they're releasing a faulty product, there's a QA team they have made reproduce that bug multiple times with a step by step guide.
Blizzard in laying low mode.

At least until Dr. Wily.
Blizzcon's two weeks away! Really curious how they'll handle that

the other option is to ask about it on the steam page of the epic game that you're playing
unfortunately there is a lot of other complaining going on

Why isn't that in your title?

Ouch
Sounds like a ripoff
its development practices not so much
but it's a perfectly ok shooty-shoot
Boy does this game look like dogshit now. I still love it though. Definitely my favourite story of the 3.
how is that version anyway is it any good
It was the most advanced full graphic alien sex simulator of its time.
Yeah, and it gets regular updates but nowhere near as many as the BR version.
You really should read up on the history of the game's release before railing on me as though I was serious
