That moment in Super Metroid when super bombs meets the glass bridge, and you realize blowing it up was an option ages ago. (To be fair, doing this without the gravity suit might have sucked.)

Super Metroid: I could have done that the whole time? #Shorts #RetroGaming
Angela had superbombs for ages and ran by this glass tube bridge several times. It turns out, it's very easy to blow up with a superbomb. Though blowing up the tube without the gravity suit to easily navigate in water probably would have sucked.

I've gotten started on Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. This game might actually make me stop playing Persona 3 Reload for a while. It's good, really good. One of the strongest stories so far in all the Fire Emblem titles I've played. I started with Leda's story after the prologue chapters.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave A young Leda, seethes with anger after the murder of her father. She says "I won't let them get away with this. That man and his soldiers from Arago... I'll kill them all!"From Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. A now older Leda dances on a stage.Leda smiles slightly as she delivers a bone-chilling statement to the man she's addressing. "But what really matters to me is that you're one of the scumbags behind the Cydonia Massacre."After murdering the man in almost cold-blood (after a protracted battle) Leda smiles as she crosses off his name on her list with his own blood. She's done this other times. As she holds her list, she smiles coldly and says "You will scream as you die, and that sound will be the most beautiful song to my ears." She's preparing for the next act of revenge.
