  I legit cracked up when like an hour into this Viewtiful Joe video Matthermatosis just tosses in the idea that we should support wildlife conservation efforts so that future generations can tell that the rhino boss will charge based on their knowledge of rhinos

  The talk of tension and punishment, fairness, lives systems and demanding consistency from players alone would have been great for a video by itself. &apos;Lives are not outdated.&apos; YES! Thank you. You have no idea how irritating it was to hear people regurgitate the notion that they are as &apos;common sense&apos;.
