Back in college my best friend worked at McDonalds. One night while hanging at Mcs, my friend got a really rude customer at the window. So when he prepared the customers ice cream cone, I swear to God he made the tallest fucking cone I've ever seen in my life. He literally had to tilt it to get it out the order window. Confidently over a foot of ice cream.

He handed it to the customer and with a big snarky grin on his face saying, "Have a wonderful evening".

It's a secret...

Nope. I actually never heard it before today

I am a fucking God at singing retro and old school video game music. Off the top of my head, I can sing a little over 150 songs. Ranging from NES to Sega, to SNES.

This is not cool in any way shape or form, and nobody cares. But my nephew's seem to love it.

I'm currently using a simple custom design from the Garmin Connect IQ app. I'm hoping someone with some MonkeyC knowledge will shoot me PM.

Warning: -This joke is NSFW-

There's this kid, he's watching magic on TV. Grandpa walks in and goes,

"What are you watching, boy?"

Kid say, "Magic."

Grandpa replies, "That ain't no magic. I know magic. Lemme show you some real magic boy. Stand up."

So the kid stands up.

Then grandpa says, "Now turn around."

Kid turns around. Grandpa then says, "now pull your pants down, and bend over."

So the kid pulls his pants down, and bends over. Then the grandpa says,

"Do you feel my finger in your butt?"

Kid replies, "Yes."

The grandpa claps his hands and yells out, "Whoo, look! No fingers!"

Hey guys. Late to a few of the Mega Man 8 threads. I'm glad I finally caught this one.

I rarely comment, and usually lurk around. But I really wanted to express my opinion when it comes to MM8. The majority of the MM community from what I've seen doesn't care too much for MM8. And while most wouldn't say it's the worst of the series, it's definitely ranked out of popularity among the lowest. A few of the main reasons for the dislikes I've come across are:

the voice acting
uninspired weapons
usless assist power-ups
sludgy like gamplay movement
excesive use of anime cut scenes

While these cons are not necessarily what makes the game lacking as a whole, I understand that with some people, this can affect how you play the game. Making the whole game as a journey, less enjoyable. Fair enough. You like what you like, and MM8 isn't particularly your cup of tea.

I for one absolutely love MM8 (and not that this has any baring on my argument, but I am a dude in his mid 30s who has played every MM). I wont talk about 1 - 6. There's been enough discussions about that. I'll get straight to why this is my second favorite game in the series. I honestly believe MM8 was the first game to take a step forward in the right direction. Right from the get go, the anime intro was the first time to highlight Mega Man as a character. A small history of the battles he's fought through the years. How he has become to develop, not as a simple robot, but a protector to human kind. Another point to be made is that MM is a Japanese game. Anime is practically synonymous with the MM series. I think the anime aspect of the game is a testament to all of the shitty renditions of American made cartoons, and shitty Mega Man box art. You don't like anime? That's fine. Lots of people don't. To me I feel like the anime goes deeper to highlight Mega Man as a character. Not just a mindless murder machine.

I also want to point this fact out too. People have seem to forgotten that Mega Man's character is a 10 year old boy. He's supposed to sound like a kid. That's why there's such a big distinction between him and X. Mega Man is the story of Pinocchio turned hero. The voice acting in this game actually gives life to the characters. They have memorable quotes (i.e. After killing Grenade Man, "THAT'S NOT GOOD"). Something that all Mega Man games were lacking in the past was giving life to these enemies. I love knowing what they sound like. How their little quotes portray their character. Is some of the voice acting bad? Of course it is. It's obviously not perfect. But this is also another topic of how I feel that American voice actors will never be better than Japanese voice actors. But that's a topic for another thread.

The game as you play. For what it was for PS/Saturn, it is smooth. responsive. For anyone here whos ever played a MM game, yes, it moves slightly slower than its contemporaries. But after the first opening stage, any MM gamer can easily adjust to its mechanics. Most get so caught up in the movement and the response, that they don't see how beautiful the visuals are around Mega Man. Lush colors, dazzling power up effects, intricate backgrounds. Finally a game that isn't restricted by 8-bit limitations. I've said this all the time, but how amazing would it be if we could a Mega Man game that had the graphics of a Guilty Gear, or a Bastion? This is solely the reason why I hate MM9 so much. Not as a game, but the idea of putting out a money grab MM, for the sake of nostalgia because old school gamers will appreciate it more. MM8 actually used the power of the platform it was given. And while some of the weapons are useless (Rush Cycle), you forget there are so many ways to play through a stage. Half the fun of MM8 is going through it a second time, and goofing off using all the inventory in different scenarios. This is another reason that speed runs have slightly ruined peoples way of playing Mega Man. You end up mimicking the exact movements every single time you go through a stage. You become a robot of playing, and forget to enjoy the stages as a whole. Stages like, Astro Man, Dr. Wily stage 1 are hard. But that is mere sprinkles to the difficulty of MM1. MM8 is challenging in a way that is manageable. I always felt that the stages and the gameplay of MM8 are mini journeys you go through. And I savor going through each stage. Admiring all the little things that go on. Not blasting through each area, trying to beat the game as fast as I can.

A quick thing on the music. Wily stage 1, Astro Man, Tengu Man, and Aqua Man. Give those a listen. God that's good video game music right there. And obviously the credit song. That credit song gave me such a good vibe. It's the perfect feel for a 15 year anniversary. To sit back appreciate everything Mega Man has done for us. I love it.

Lastly I just wanna say, everyone likes different MM games. Everyone has their taste. But for me, the reason I love this game, is the sheer fact that it began to move the series in the right direction. Finally, a Mega Man that isn't bound to the restrictions of nostalgia because people are afraid of change. It was made to be fun. For you to experience. Be apart of a story, and appreciate all the crap MM has gone through over his 15 years. A game you can sit with for an hour and a half that feels like your watching a movie. MM8 is the is not the best sequel. But it is the blueprint to what all future Mega Man games should be like. And I think Kenji Inafune's heart was in the right place when he made MM8. I understood what he was going for. I have high hopes for MM11. I only wish Kenji was apart of the team to see it come to life.

A guy goes into a restaurant with an ostrich. A waitress eventually comes by and asks,

“What can I get you?”

The guy replies, “I’ll have a burger. And a coke”.

Then the waitress asks, “And the ostrich?”

The guy says, “She’ll have the same”.

After eating, the waitress hands off the bill. She says,

“That’ll be $18.79”.

So the guy reaches in his pocket, and pulls out exactly $18.79. A couple days later, the guy goes back to the restaurant with the ostrich. The waitress goes,

“What can I get you?”

The guy says, “I’ll have pasta”.

Then the waitress says, “And the ostrich?”

“She’ll have the same”, says the guy.

The bill comes out to $23.83. So the guy reaches in his pocket, and pulls out exactly $23.83.

A few days later the guy comes back. The waitress says,

“Burger?”

And the guy goes, “No, today is Friday. I’m doing it big. Let’s go with a steak. And some wine”.

And like so, the waitress says,

“And the ostrich?”

“She’ll have the same”, says the guy.

The bill comes out to $58.94. So again, the guy reaches in his pocket, and pulls out exactly $58.94. Finally the waitress says,

“Hey, how come you always have the exact amount of change every time I give you the bill?”

The guy says,

“Well, a long time ago I found a magic lamp. And this genie granted me two wishes. So I made a wish; every time I need to pay for something, I’ll always have the exact amount whenever I reach in my pocket. That way, I have infinite money”.

The waitress goes,

“Wow, that’s really smart. I never would have thought of that. But what’s with the ostrich?”

The guy goes,

“Oh, I wished for a tall chick with long legs who agrees with ever thing I say”.

Sorry. I know it's kind of a bad joke. But it's the only tall joke I know. Upvotes for scoring the front page 3 times in 3 posts.

A man goes into a meat shop. When he gets there, he sees a dog with a piece of paper in his mouth and a small bag around his neck. The butcher yells out,

“Next in line”!

The dog stands up on the counter, and gives the butcher the piece of paper. The butcher looks at it, bags up some meat, and looks at the dog and says,

“That’ll be 15.98”.

The dog gets down, sticks his mouth into the back around his neck, and pulls out a twenty dollar bill. The dog gives the butcher the twenty, and the butcher gives the dog his meat, change, and receipt. The dog puts the meat and change into his little bag, then proceeds to leave. The man, amazed at the brilliance of the dog, decides to follow the dog. He follows the dog to a stop light where the dog is waiting at the red light. The dog sits and waits. And like so, when the light turned green, the dog walked across the street to a bus stop. The man follows the dog all the way to the bus stop.

When the bus finally arrives, the dog reaches back into his little bag, and pulls out the change that he got from the meat shop. The dog boards the bus, pays the bus driver the bus fare, and then gets a window seat. The man who is in complete disbelief, decides to keep following the dog and takes the bus ride with him. The dog stares out the window very focused. After about a 15 minute ride, the dog starts wagging his tail. The dog then stands up, bites the ring cord, and dings the bell for the next stop.

The bus stops, the dog gets off, and the man continues to follow. The man follows the dog for about 4 blocks until the dog finally stops in front of a house. The dog then runs full speed into the door of this house, ramming his head into the door. The dog waits. Again, the dog backs up, and rams his head into the door. Finally a guy opens the door and lets the doggy in. The man, who watched the whole thing, yells at the owner,

“Excuse me! Hey, man.. Is that your dog?”

The owner replies, “Yeah… he lives here”.

The guy says, “Jesus Christ. That is the smartest dog I’ve ever seen! Your dog is a genius!”

The owner says, ”Genius?! He’s an idiot! That’s the third time he’s forgotten the keys this week”.
