This article is great, always funny to try and put vgs in reality. The metroid shit in particular is hilarious!

I had always thought about that when playing Metroid games. I mean, unless they all have hover vehicles no one in the Mettroid universe is getting anywhere

Actually, vampires traditionally are vulnerable to running water, being unable to cross it. So nix the Legacy of Khaine one.

I guess I haven't told any of you guys my (patent pending) ultradimensional pocket theory yet...

@JTDC007

True, but I seriously doubt that ALL of the water in the game was running (pools, oceans, lakes, puddles etc.) Also, vampires couldn't cross the (running) water by boat/bridge/flying/swimming/jumping/hopping/leaping/skipping/rolling, (sometimes I suppose that running water could kill vampires though)(that last point was very redundant wasn't it?)

You forgot timeshift's neverending rain. Actually, that may be false, as if I remember correctly, the rain does eventually stop. I could very well be wrong as I'm sure many of you know, the game was not very memorable. In any case,In certain city levels you can here a dictator kind of dude (Or reporter?) explain that they screwed up some experiment in weather manipulation(And goes on to say it will eventually stop), thus explaining the downpour. This was all to exploit Timeshift's pretty rain effects when pausing slowing or rewinding time.

I wonder how they explain the animal crossing pockets?

No Okami on the respawning one? Come on, mirrors that store your memories. That is quite contrived. And when has Link ever acted emo? And one final stab, IT TAKES YOU 40 HOURS TO BEAT A ZELDA GAME? YOU SUCK!
