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]
Oh Air Man is the only way to go (although I admittedly have switched it up over the years)!
Congrats Nate! Was it hard to get in?
NICE! you better ACTUALLY teach them about Mega Man 2. The greatest game on earth!
So, question: From what I’ve distilled you’re a teacher – but do you have some other degree already to be qualified for such a position? Congrats, by the way… I’m worried about my own graduate school propositions.
the expression on the kids face in panel two is priceless.
Congrats man!!
Brad: I already had a Bachelor of Arts from the U of M, and I have two years of being an Educational Assistant plus a couple extra courses by mail to bolster the thing. I still have about two years to go before I can really call myself a teacher.
I think I would use the words “time-consuming” and “tedious” to describe the application process sooner than “hard”.
And thanks to everybody else who’s said kind things!
Of course you start with Airman, kid. That’s why you’re in school: to learn these things!
YOU’LL NEVER MAKE IT OUT THERE! THEY’LL EAT YOU ALIVE! DISCOURAGEMENT!
Sorry, there was just too much positivity in the room.
Congratulations! Now that you are one step closer to ruling the world, WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW!?
Silly ThatGuy, of course Nathan is going to begin Phase 2. It’s only a matter of time.
Although I would like to know what Phase 2 actually is…
I asked Nathan about Phase 2 once, and he rambled on for hours, something about eating childrens souls.
