I love how he complains about there being no Life Bar. "ONE HIT AND YOUR DEAD!" OH NO'S!

Never play Contra while drunk, you will FAIL.

Back in my day I had to walk 15 miles uphill in the snow to get shot in the face once and die. And I liked it!

Okay, so I watched this video like three times and I tried to play Contra. Imagine my surprise when I actually beat the game.
I admit, I used the code. But I still had 15 or so lives left when I finished.
I'm going to record my run-through and send it to that kid. I'll even play with a keyboard. |
Wow, I can't even beat the game with 30 lives. XD
I never played it that much, but I get at least get to level 3 in 3 lives.

Not all the time. Remember the drunken rule #84. It's so far down the drunken rules list since most of the otehrs are about balancing
Anyway, if you're a bad shot normally alcohol should improve your aim. The harder the shot the better(works good for first person shooters). This is because normally your aim is off. So, when you're drunk your reflexes are slower. A shot you would have missed because you were not aiming right now hits, because you're going slower than normal but playing like you normally do. Instant aim correctiveness.
People get pissed off with me in this situation when I'm "Ghandi" and killing them despite being 4 beers down and buzzed playing CS with the pump shotgun. It corrects my aim. For Contra maybe you just can't get that damn jumping shot to hit the right spot(a few places where this can matter). Down a few beers, maybe a shot or two, most likely both. Game owned
So, the moral of the story is. Keep drinking. We didn't invent beer for it to go bad!

Play Contra III, on the virtual console, with a GCN controller, on hard. The buttons are:
A=Nuke
B=Jump
C-stick=N/A
Control Stick=Move,Duck,Aim
D-Pad=Move,Duck,Aim
X=Gun Swap
Y=Shoot
Z=Map
Start=Pause
The controls make the game more difficult but I can get to the second last stage.

 I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.
Blow you to fragments,
laugh,
roll you, and smoke the ashes.

You might want to try playing Probotector, the european release. Instead of guys you shoot robots. And it's a tad slower. Might be easier for you.

 You should totally check out the IRC channel.
While you're at it, go check out my band, Her Majesty's Heroines.

Nah, it's just that I never grew up with the game, and never practiced with it. It's not like I suck at games, the hardest NES game I beat was Ninja Gaiden 1.

Wow, that was a weird video. He didn't even give any gameplay explainations as to why it "sucked".

sure he did, midway didn't make it, wait they did. It doesn't say scorpion wins after winning oh wait it does. And Scorpion and subzero aren't brothers. Seems clear to me .

If you don't laugh within 3 seconds of the Mortal Kombat video, just due to his awful voice, something is wrong with your funny bone.

yeah the mk video makes me think its all a joke though cause he isn't complaining about the difficulty just completely wrong things about the game. But he could just be stupid either or really.

I just think he is trying to be like AVGN. It would be funny if the kid was pounding beers.

Look on the bright side, I'm sure he'll die a virgin and therefore never reproduce.

Technically Midway didn't make it. Midway made the original arcade game. The Genesis version was made by Probe Entertainment and published by Arena.

But the Genesis version sucked ass, like nearly all home versions of MK.
Apparently, the version of UMK3 on the Xbox Live Arcade is a direct arcade port, not dumbed down or something.

M3GA MAN,
Are you going to allow them to just make fun of your reviews like that?
Aren't you going to defend your honor?
I bet you guys didn't know that the video was made by a member of this forum... did ya
