SAM'S PROFILE

Max, I figured I'd use DBZ to learn AGM, which I have done, then remake the first Fenrir, which I'm in the process of doing, and it start on it's sequel and then release the remake and suprise and excite everyone.

But you just spoiled it. For everyone. Well done =P

I know I've not been about much lately, but I do have a mic, and Uni's finished until late September so I've got a bunch more free time now too.

I'm in the UK so timezone wise I'm just plain old GMT 0.

Any genre, any platform, any game! I wanna hear what your top ten bosses are! You can nominate a boss for difficulty, originality, design, personality, any reason you do so desire as long as that boss was fun to fight and made a lasting impression on you (which they must have done for you to sill remember them!)

Here's a few of my nominees.

Shiva (Streets of Rage II)

Shiva's attacks may have been limited, and his patterns were pretty simple, but damn did I used to enjoy every second of fighting him! The first time I played Streets of Rage II, Shiva used to hand my arse to me on a plate (I was a kid after all), but in a way that very few bosses can pull off, the way that makes you want one more shot at him in an addictive frenzy. He's also a boss that gets easier to fight over time.

Yes, he's in Streets of Rage III as well but I remember him for SoR2.

Xemnas (Kingdom Hearts II)

Xemnas was a truly great final boss for me, the fight was cinematic, action packed, and gave fans everything they wanted for their final showdown with Organisation XIII's leader. Split into several parts and requiring you to be a Jack of all trades, this fight was brilliant.

It was very close between Sephiroth and Xemnas, but I didn't feel Sephiroth had that same impact that the Xemnas fight did.

Metal Sonic (Sonic 3 and Knuckles)

Fighting Metal Sonic at the end of Sonic 2 was really fun, but fighting his upgraded model in Sonic and Knuckles blew me away. He comes at you three times! Once in the first Egg-O-Matic Robotnik ever fought you with (with the ball on a chain), again with the Metropolis Zone vehicle from Sonic 2 (with the shield of inflatable eggs) and again in hand to hand combat (styled after Sonic 2's Metal Sonic)! Even after all that, he refuses to die, fighting Knuckles and using the power of the Master Emerald to turn Super! The single most persistent boss in Sonic history?

Lara's Clone (Tomb Raider 1/ Tomb Raider: Anniversary)

Tons of my friends gave up playing Tomb Raider because of this boss in the first game. The boss mimics your exact moves, only seemingly has infinite health, so you can't kill her but she will shoot back at and kill you. You have to position yourself next to a switch on one side of the room which positions the clone on the other, and flip the switch, dropping said clone into a lava pit. It's just a boss that I've always remembered fondly.

That's me done. Let's hear some of your favourite boss battles!

Went away for a long weekend to the London MCM Expo, I gotta say, it was a blast! I went as Vegeta, my girlfriend went as Yuffie. I met MasakoX who does some of the voices in the Dragon Ball Z Abridged Series, which makes him an internet celebrity or something, saw a bunch of awesome cosplays, played some Batman: Arkham Asylum before it's release date here (yay) and found out that Expresso does the nicest strawberry milkshake in the world.

As of this morning I have completed the second year of my Uni course! I now have until the end of September to do, more or less, whatever I want. It's a shame whatever I want will probably have to step to the side to allow for working to pay bills though XD
