I cannot help but notice that, after 2005, there is a severe dearth of pinball-based Metroid games. Nobody knows what happened here, but I am going to go ahead and note that the number one thing not replicated by the Metroid franchise after Metroid Prime Pinball is that future titles are not pinball-related at all. Weird how that works.
Alright, that’s it for this week. Come back next week when we play an actually good game.
Even Worse Streams Presents Metroids
Metroid Prime Pinball (and friends)
Night 11
December 6, 2023
Random Notes:
- Metroid Prime Pinball! With your commentators fanboymaster, BEAT, and myself. Now let’s talk about Goku’s dick.
- My overt attempts to attract the Mtn Dew bot fail, apparently. Oh well. At least we discuss Sonic the Hedgehog voice actors while playing a Metroid game.
- “Shoot ‘em, Goggle Bob! Before fanboy and I talk about indie music more!”
- About 90% of this Metroid “playthrough” is the three of us talking about random music. Want to hear about the first MP3 I ever downloaded? It may leave you blue.
- Caliscrub joins just as we receive a new background image from the venerated BEAT.
- Cassandralyn comes in to a Help Me Dr. Dick discussion, much to her chagrin.
- Please enjoy a list of fanfics BEAT has written as AJ Vark joins.
- “Shout out to God for making bugs awesome.”
- Moving on! Metroid Federation Force is tried in an effort to not play pinball all night. Remember when the Metroid Prime Hunters demo was popular? Metroid Federation Force never even had that.
- “The only good Blizzard is a dead Blizzard.”
- Tales of spam calls and job searching occur as Not-Samus gets lost in an ice base.
- Trynant is called out for simply watching and not talking as this damned Federation Force continues.
- Is Rob Zombie a wife guy or just really horny?
- And then it is time for Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball. Yes, we are setting it to “fast mode”.
- Level 1 is completed as we discuss The Adventures of Mark Twain and its relation to Dr. Robotnik.
- “Life is tough when you lose your stuff, Kratos.”
- Also: horrible Miami drinking stories.
- Level 3! And Wheels joins!
- “You know those windows screensavers? That’s basically Sonic Spinball right now.”
- Jeanie joins at the end of Level 3 because we are somehow streaming late enough for her to get home. Pyrrhic victory!
- Eggman is defeated as we review the plot arc of Riverdale thanks to the concept of The CW releasing a Hades drama. At least we beat one game tonight!
Next time on Metroids: The third second Metroid.
