Introduction
Long-ass typical LP OP:
Once upon a time, there was Metroid. It was oriented like a side-scroller, but it focused on exploration and discovery. You played as bounty hunter Samus Aran, and in a twist bigger than the Sixth Sense, it turned out under your armor that you were an alien species with some strange organ known as a "vagina." Metroid spawned three official sequels and a remake on Nintendo's various platforms... but none on the GameCube.
Well, that's where a company in Austin, Texas - a first-party developer for Nintendo - called Retro Studios comes in. See, they had their own idea for a twist on Metroid... a way to make it stand out from its previous incarnations...
SCANNING
How long have you played a Metroid game and wondered, "Why can't I look at something for about a second and a half, and then have to read about it?" Wonder no longer! Metroid Prime meets all your Spergy "learn the fuck out of shit I'm gonna blow up anyway" needs and then some! Every computer terminal, enemy, item upgrade - scan, scan, scan. It's like Samus is now a cross between an intergalactic bounty hunter and a grocery store clerk.
Also it's like first person or something too, I dunno.
I'm doing this LP somewhat blind - I played Prime years ago, but only got to... um, Thardus? Tharduk? The rock guy. I never finished it, so hoping to
capitalize on the only thing I ever did right callback to my old Super Metroid thread, there's going to be a lot of buffoonery and rotating guests. There will usually be a mainstay (Diabetus) to make sure the videos don't go way off the rails, but you too can join me on my quest to scan the goddamned galaxy!
I'm usually not a huge fan of blind LPs, so I will employ editing or replay parts if things start getting boring or stupid. All I ask of you, viewer...
