Dude, I love bagels! Gimme a toasted whole wheat bagel with butter when I'm blue, and I'm not blue very much longer. (Give me two, while you're at it.)

A few months ago, I won a raffle. Now we get 13 bagels for free each month for the whole year. 😊

We use the Smart Beat Margarine. It's not bad, actually. Although if you use something for so long, you start to lose track of what other kinds of butter tastes like. I can't say it's a raw deal though.

Jews around the world would be proud. Would you like a schmear of Cream Cheese and lox? A schtickle of white fish would wet your whistle maybe?

I can't stand fake butter. It just tastes...greasy.

Russ, thats oen of the most awesome prizes I've ever heard of.

Butter, margarine, Country Crock, I can't Believe it's not Butter, etc. It all tastes the same to me. As long as it has salt, of course.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a fucking long movie. >.<

Well, it's like two hours and fourty-six minutes, but it's kinda boring and seems way longer.

I was thinking about seeing that. But I think today me and some friends are seeing Valkarie.

😮dd: If you like the movie, at least pay the people who made it so they'll make more movies.


Anyways, I just finishes played Metroid Fusion (In case you can't tell, I'm sort of a Metroid marathon right now). There' something bothering me though.

Ridley.

The Metroid series can't go on without him. Yet he dies in Super Metroid, and his body was completely destroyed in Fusion. How can he come back?

And what about Metroids? All of them are completely gone. You can't have a Metroid game without Metroids.

And what will hapen to Samus now. It's obvious the Federation won't be happy with her. But how do you deal with somebody who's powerful enough to blow up two planets and completely wipe out species that nobody else can even touch without dying?

Nintendo proceeded the same way they did the Zelda series: continue the series out of chronological order. That's what they did with the Metroid Prime trilogy that followed. The time period was set before the events of Metroid Fusion, but after the first Metroid (I forget where the trilogy fits in the timeline, though).

Metroid -> Prime Series -> Metroid 2 -> Super Metroid -> Fusion

In Metroid is supposedly only injured, or some shit. That is why he appears as meta-Ridley in Prime, and I guess he comes back through some phazon BS in Prime 3 as Omega Ridley. Anything after is just a plot hole, or they didn't really care about continuity.

>.>

Yeah, but inserting new installments into the storyline can only go on for so long before it becomes weird. I'm sure there will be some way for a fragment of Ridley's DNA to have survived, or soem long lost colony of Metroids somewhere.

Well, I just thought of something. Samus has Metroid DNA in her. If they really wanted Metroid DNA, well, all they'd have to do would be to scrape part of that Metroid-ish membrane off of her power suit.

Although I still can't think of any way for Ridley. Everytime, there was something. Body parts to fuse with a machine, a corpse to be inhabited by an X parasite. But it seems like he was completly destroyed. 😞

Or they can just stop having you fucking kill a character they want to keep using.

Ya, that too. It seems like he blows up in every game anyways. 😊

Well, considering that the metroids are a Chozo creation (as indicated by the last page in the maual of Fusion), I'm sure there are more metroids. The chozo touched a great deal of worlds, and I'm sure they implanted metroids there too, in case the X managed to migrate there.

As for Ridley, they could always make a robot model of him. Or maybe he has children to take up him place. (oh, that would be awesome. You break into a space pirate base and find a small ridley. Before Samus can kill it, she gets ambushed by like, ten of them. She manages to escape, and later on, you need to worry about not just 1 ridley, but a whole flock of them! >: D )

And Samus will probably get reprimanded, and nothing worse. I mean...she saved the Galaxy about, what? FVE times? That's gotta count for something. Then again, it would be a cool intro to play as Samus busting out of Federation prison. XD

BTW, I LOVED fusion. It was really fun. Still can't get 100% though. I have a very high percentage, but some of the items I just can't understand how to get to! >: (

Ridley was the indigenous species on planet Zebes. Maybe he was cloned, or something. The only real plot hole is how he comes back after Prime 3, everything else can at least be sort of explained. I guess it is just a plot hole, since the games were made out of order.

And instead of attacking her, it follows Samus around like she's its mother! So she takes it back to a Federation space colony to have it analyzed. But she barely gets beyond the asteroid belt when she picks up a distress signal. The space station is under attack!

I can almost see Samus in a 24 style court room scene.

Although about the baby Ridley thing, one of them should think she's its Mom, and then you get to ride around on it. Would be awesome.

I beat the game with 39% of the items. 😃

Fusion was good. It had the best storyline of a Metroid game by far, and even though it was linear, it was still awesome.

I know there were two parts of the game that really shocked me. First, when I saw Ridley's body frozen in the station, I just stopped and gasped.

Then, when you break into the Metroid lab, well, I was shocked beyond belief.

And then when you have to go knock the ship off course, and I saw all the Metroid shells, getting increasingly larger, I got excited. Even if Omega Metroid was easy, he was awesome.

All this talk of Fusion made me buy a copy on amazon today. I have been meaning to for a while but I just didn't for the longest time. I am going to have to play through this one.

I got to the final battle against Dark Samus and had to return it to the person I borrowed it from. *sigh* I should beat it one of these days...

Are you talking about Fusion? That would be SA-X, not Dark Samus. D:
