I'm not sure. Some parents are a little bit too iffy about this violence in vidya stuff. My mother vehemently despises First-Person (Not specifically FPS) games (My dad's pretty neutral about it and sometimes watches me play Halo or Dishonored or something) and I have to say, despite her belief that it desensitizes you to violence, I play mostly M-Rated games and I find I'm still pretty squeamish about gore in some cases, and quite frankly I can't think of shooting up a school or anything. She nearly flipped when she first saw Minecraft because it's not third person.

Ah well. I'm turning 17 in about four days. Can't use the ESRB against me from there on.

Also "[twin slasher]" is ugly word; how about "agressive sex"?

You still need an ID though if you plan on buying M-rated games by youself.

Parenting: If you screw up somewhere while raising your kids, blame it on somebody else.

If me or my brother [tornado fang]'d up, it wasn't my mom's fault.

It was ours.

After all, we're the ones who decided to do whatever stupid thing we did.

[Protoman Blues]

Outside of soft-core porn, the 'rents showed me all the glorious R rated violence when I was young. It was awesome.

Wait they showed you soft core porn too?

[Protoman Blues]

Haha, no. I meant they showed me everything besides that.

[Sakura Leic]

Haha, no. I meant they showed me everything besides that.

Okay because I was confused for a second there.

[Mirby]

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they had shown you that, PB.

[Protoman Blues]

Well some of those R rated movies had sex scenes and boobies!

Big ones?

Well I think I got the hang of Pokemon-Amie.

A part of me has been thinking of composing my own list in regards to analyzing the traits of weapons/abilities in various games. This is mostly due to recently watching a few "Top 10" lists on YouTube - counting off the best and worst abilities. Some of the choices these people make, especially for the Mega Man series, really do baffle me (who on earth is willing to defend the Commando Bomb as being a "good weapon?"). Of course, given my own recent endeavors and playthroughs on my own YT channel, I'd probably be best suited to list off some of the better (and absolute worst) weapons from various fan-games as opposed to the official series at this point. Though I'm sure a ton of people here have their own choices and preferences as well.

If it were not for Metal Blade, Top Spin would be #1 yes?

I actually think Top Spin is an alright weapon (unlike a lot of others). It's in the same boat as Charge Kick: It's a highly situation-based weapon, but that doesn't mean it's horrible. In terms of Mega Man 3 weapons however, the Shadow Blade is definitely more useful than it (with the absolute worst of that game - and to an extent, one of the worst weapons in the classic series - being the Spark Shock).

[Protoman Blues]

Well I'm curious to see your list. Does anything from MM6 make it on there?

I actually haven't played Mega Man 6 in a while. From what I recall, none of the weapons really stood out to me (except for the Plant Barrier, if mainly due to it being a candidate for one the most lack-luster shield weapons ever). For now, I'd probably just assemble a few weapons from various fan-sources that have emerged in recent times. They're the ones that I've become the most familiar with for now, and it's pretty easy to pin-point which ones are good and which ones are bad.

[Sakura Leic]

So I got just dived bombed by a Fearow on Victory Road.

[Clefilicious❣]

Just got up from a long and painful sleep.

Still feel like [parasitic bomb], my voice is all [tornado fang]'d up.

You could probably base most of that list off of MM2 and MM9. MM6's weapons were really not that good.

My non-drivers license got me my Splatterhouse fix (still got 1 1/4 year left 'til I have to renew it).

Mega Man 9's weapons would be a bit more difficult for me to pin-point through a best/worst list. All of the weapons from that game are really good. It's obviously a lot easier with a set variety to the weapon's overall usefulness, such as the case with Mega Man 2.

Since I have nothing better to do with my time however, I may as well jot down my thoughts on each weapon - starting in order from best to worst.

(click to show/hide)

Metal Blade - I don't think I need to comment on this weapon, or how predictable it is for me to put it at the top of MM2's weapon listings.

Quick Boomerang - A bit of a difficult choice between this and the Time Stopper for the second place. While most people tend to play Flash Man's stage before Quick Man, the latter's weapon is definitely more useful. With 224 total uses, and even with the aspect of rapid-fire, there's virtually no way to exhaust this weapon's ammo count unless you intentionally do so. This makes it all the more helpful for taking down things if by some chance you've gone crazy with your Metal Blade usage - which is a pretty good possibility, to say the least.

Time Stopper - While nowhere near as good as Bright Man's version, it's still a decent support weapon that has its fair share of uses in certain sections of the game. Quick Man's force beams not-withstanding, of course.

Air Shooter - Not the most helpful or direct of the weapons, but it can be used to instantly destroy those brutally annoying ride-mechs that some of the Sniper Joe's have acquired in this game. Other than that, Crash Man, and maybe for enemies that are above you, it doesn't have too many other uses.

Bubble Lead - While somewhat lack-luster at first glance, I actually find this to be a semi-decent weapon. Yes, there's a good chunk of enemies that it doesn't work on, but there's also a fair share that it's capable of dealing with just as well. The annoying Springer enemies come to mind on this.

Atomic Fire - This weapon doesn't nearly live up to its cool name-sake. The standard attack is pretty weak overall. The charged version, while obviously much more devastating and accurate in attack strength, is still agonizingly slow. By the time you fully charge this thing up, you could have used one of several other methods to deal with whatever you're planning on destroying with it.

Leaf Shield - The first shield weapon of the series if I recall, and it's also one of the worst. It has 9 total uses, barely protects you from anything without flaking out, and there are good number of enemies that it's absolutely ineffective against.

Crash Bomb - My disdain for this weapon seems to know no bounds. I think a part of it is due to the fact that the game forces you to use just about all of it for that stupid Boobeam Trap boss. Aside from that, the weapon itself is a mess. It has 7 total shots, is rather slow when being fired off, and has an unnecessarily long start-up time for its explosion. Aside from breaking the occasional door, and the aforementioned Boobeam Trap, this weapon is absolutely horrible.

[Protoman Blues]

I'd rate Leaf Shield higher than Time Stopper. Overall though, not bad.

[Sapphire Knight]

So... Last night, I opened up cheap commissions to supplement my non-existent income... I wonder how well this will turn out.
