    Mega Man 9 on sale for 8 dollars?!

    Friday, October 3, 2008, 02:01 AM [General]

    Well, kind of.  For some reason, Amazon is selling Xbox 360 Live 1600 Points Cards for 16 dollars.  Everywhere else they are 20 dollars.  If you order two, shipping is free.  It's the equivalent of getting Mega Man 9 on Xbox for 8 dollars instead of 10.

    Stock up and grab all that sweet DLC when it comes out on the cheap!

    Magma Bazooka sounds... familiar.

    Thursday, October 2, 2008, 07:52 PM [General]

    Playing through Mega Man 9 last week, everything seemed extremely familiar.  There is an almost deja-vuey quality to the entire experience, but one particular moment stood out to me.  After completely devastating Magma Man (after the eighth or so try) and firing off the new gun, the Magma Bazooka I froze.  I'd heard that sound before.  Kah-chow!! Kah-chow!

    I'm fairly certain that this is the same sound effect used for the Bazooka weapon in the original Bionic Commando.  There's a video on youtube of someone playing through BC here, and I apologize in advance for the terrible inner-monologue of the person playing the game.  I can't imagine who this video is supposed to appeal to, but it's the only one that I could dig up that had the sound effect.  Skip ahead to position 1:36. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HP_rAIC_Js

    It's fantastic.  Such a subtle nod to those of us who really have been Capcom-obsessed our entire lives.  Thanks Capcom!!
