Let's Play Metroid Prime 2: Echoes--Part 30: You Jumped into a Sporb! You Moron!

Sometimes I get screwed over because Retro is evil. Other times I get screwed over because I'm stupid. This video shows an example of the latter.

Hahaaaa. Anyway. As a certain SOMEONE said in the other LP he's been in: 'CHARGE Dark Beam and then Missle the Dark Commanders'. It works really well. ;)

[Thinker2112]

@parnash But I tried that...

[Xenav14]

Actually, the Sporb hit you twice, since you, as the title suggests, jumped into the tongue...

[Thinker2112]

@Xenav14 "Sporb" sounds a bit like "sword," so I couldn't help but make the reference...

[parnash]

@Thinker2112 Huh, really? Weird... Oh! Wait. If you're on hard mode, maybe it doesn't work...? I mean, it'd make sense, Retro pulling an evil, twisted move like that.
