Arch mage144: Also, Mega Man 9 is pretty cool
BrainWalkr: Mega Man 9 ended up being way cooler than I actually thought it was going to be. Paritally because the stage designs are awesome, but mostly because all the weapons are badass in their own ways.
Arch mage144: BEE GUN
Arch mage144: BRB
BrainWalkr: Fuck yea.
Arch mage144: Back.
BrainWalkr: It's kind of scary that I can name 3 games in recent memory where you get to use bees as an offensive strategy.
Arch mage144: Really? What are the others? I can think of some, but not recent games.
BrainWalkr: Bioshock and Castle Crashers
BrainWalkr: For a split second I was tempted to launch an exhaustive study on video games that have allowed you to use bees offensively, but I thought better of it.
Arch mage144: Ah, I see. I was thinking of Plok; I can't think of anything else off-hand.
BrainWalkr: Well, there's Metal Gear Solid 3, where if you subdue The Pain with non-lethal force, you get his camo, which will cause any bees you come across to swarm around you and sting any enemies you come across. Then there's Darkstalkers, where one of the characters is a bee. Then there's Link to the Past, where you can get the Good Bee by ramming that one statue near where you get the ice rod.
Arch mage144: Yes!
BrainWalkr: Oh God, I'm getting sucked in.
BrainWalkr: I might create a topic at RPGWW about this.
BrainWalkr: I never played more than like 5 minutes of Plok. There were bees in that game?
Arch mage144: Yes.
BrainWalkr: Now I have to play it.
So, I'm not motivated to create an exhaustive scholarly list and categorization of the use of bees in video games, but I figured at the very least this could serve for an amusing topic of conversation.
