Metroid (NES) is a real mess (and that's great).

I am no longer begging for likes and shares. I have bent the knee to these mechanical tyrants for too long. No longer, I say. No longer do I sup from the trough of slop. I die a man.

Metroid 1 is all over the place and we should all be very thankful. Why do I say that? You'll have to watch the video to find out. Will you? Or will you simply get filtered by my accent and weird tangents? Only you can decide your own destiny.
