Great article, Syd. Thank you for writing it. I really enjoyed reading it this morning as I needed a good laugh. Also, running with scissors is fucking awesome!

Definitely worth the ten-month, one-week, four-day wait, though I could've done without the ripping on 5 and 6.

I fully expected to make it a full year. Looks like I lost the pool. Time to change my avatar, I suppose.

Great Article, even though #3 went right over my head long enough for me to think it was a chain of typos, and then I felt dumb ._.
Has anyone in this family ever seen a chicken? xD

Literally everything he said about 5 and 6 is dead on, and although you'll never believe it or agree with it, pretty much everyone else does.

I actually met someone who thinks Mega Man 5 is the best NES game of the classic series.

Which entry in the series is the box art (shown at the beginning) from?

Excellent question. The PAL release of Mega Man 1. I originally planned to use the American Mega Man 2 box art, but the way the text is super-imposed over the art, I couldn't crop the box to my liking.

I don't see a new article. I'm still seeing Hitler at the top.
Not that I have a problem with that.

Or Shift-F5 if there's something wrong with you.
Also, we have the brain knowledge and that still isn't enough to unlock the two extra articles?

It's been 13 houes...and I'm still laughing from the new article. Great job, Syd!
Also, Sideway, Alt-F4 makes the new article appear and gives you some extra credits towards the next one.

I just finished reading it and I wanted to compliment you on a great article. Stands out as one of the best you've written since I've been visiting the site.

Well, since Hitler's not on the front, I guess I'll stop being Fransisco Franco.
Great article. Very fun read.

Thanks Kilmb. I was actually really nervous about this one. The punchlines are all pretty straight forward, and they're given away in the bullet points. So the challenge became, can I fill the basic outline in with paragraphs that people will enjoy reading? And I guess I did, which is quite a relief.

Good choice in switching to one of the good guys.
In other news, this is one of my favorites, right behind the concert t-shirt one.

So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind. |

You did, and even though the punchlines were the titles of each section, there are still a lot of more subtle (and not-so-subtle) jokes within each part. I understand the concern because it is natural for someone to skim something if they think they already got the big joke out of it. If people just read the bullet points and think they've read the best jokes, then they're missing out.
