Watch me play Bionic Commando: Rearmed

I'm going to play through Bionic Commando: Rearmed at 6PM PST (yes, in two short hours) live on Twitch, here: OrigamiWombat

For those who haven't played it, you're missing out. Bionic Commando is a 2D platformer where you can't jump. Instead you swing around using your bionic arm's grappling hook. It was an insanely novel concept for a 1987 NES game. (Can we somehow replace 2014 Capcom with 1987 Capcom? )

The game was remade in 2009, and the remake is AWESOME. It's 99% true to the original, while adding all kinds of new content. The music by Simon Viklund is top-notch, they have ragdoll physics for the enemy models, it's all good. It also doesn't take itself at all seriously.

Have you ever wanted to see someone who's definitely NOT Hitler die in a horrific fashion? You've come to the right place.

Use this thread to talk about how good a game BC and BC:Rearmed are. We can pretend BC:Rearmed 2 never existed.

(And I hope some people come hang out and watch me play. I plan to play until I beat the game or get too drunk to work the controls.)
