Hindsight is a pretty interesting thing, isn’t it? The guy writing this comic doesn’t know that he’s in for some of the most stressful times in his life, but the guy in those stressful times also didn’t know he’d come out the other side in fine shape. And the guy writing this commentary right now has no idea what’s in store just around the corner, etc. etc.

The boss list in the 2nd panel is my actual boss order for Mega Man 2. (If you’re having trouble, it goes Air, Flash, Quick, Crash, Metal, Bubble, Heat, Wood which is also fun to say.) It is a bit unusual but I learned it from a master of the game. I think that the main reason for this particular order is to get Item-2 (the flying platform) as soon as possible, which makes a lot of later sections much easier. [February 13, 2012]
