    My helicopter level was in Ninja Gaiden. Used all my healing stuff before it and couldn’t beat it. Never picked it back up.

    Misty in Pokémon Blue

    It’d be easily fixed with a new save, a more balanced approach, and four hours… but fuck that, I’ve spent two summers grinding to beat her but nope

          That’s not a bad plan, but it will require a new save. Once you enter Cerulean City, all the ways back to Viridian are blocked until after you beat Misty.

          If you want to beat Misty without starting a new save, your best bet is probably to go north of Nugget Bridge and catch a Bellsprout. That should be about as effective as a Pikachu against Misty. If anything it might even be slightly better. Grass and Electric attacks are both 2x against Water types, but Water attacks are ½x against Grass types and 1x against Electric types.

            I forgot Bellsprout had vine whip early and you couldn’t go back. Oddish on red with absorb by comparison is a monumental pain in the ass. Absorb sucks. At least Pikachu is fast with thunderwave and can help you catch an Abra for your I win button.

    By “helicopter level” I assume you mean the RC helicopter in GTA: Vice City.

      The electric shock sound when you touch the sea weed will forever be a trigger for me.

      I just learned that the intent for that level is to pause the game and switch which turtle you’re playing because they get a full health bar when you do.

    I can’t think of a specific example, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it involved an escort mission.

    The Trial of Tassadar

    Every once in a while I decide to replay StarCraft. I always breeze through the Terran and Zerg campaigns and the first few Protoss levels. Homeland is a struggle but I can get through it. I can never seem to beat The Trial of Tassadar though. I always get destroyed before I can even venture out of my base.

      I mean it’s manageable, the HECU fights are always fun for me, especially with explosives. And you can just ditch the train and bhop all the way.

      Now Xen+Interloper on the other hand…

      Excellent horror level, with great resource starvation that forces you to use the gravity gun. Also introduces the poison headcrabs I think? Either way, uses them really really well. Like that part at the end where they’re all creeping around an abandoned mine? 👨‍🍳

        Maybe that was the one I was thinking of? It’s been a while. The button repetition with insta-kill just stopped the game dead.

    I know what everybody is thinking: 50 Cent Blood on the Sand, but that’s a misconception, you actually mean 50 Cent Bulletproof–the one other, and less perfect, of the 2 games that exist
