THE _______ VIDEO GAME BOSS EVER! - YouTube and Videogames

It's funny how some vids on YouTube have a pretty good reason to have more than ten-thousand views. However, there are clips that get more than a million views for making no goddamn sense. I was searching through YouTube in the "in-between" category, where I find pretty weird stuff that I am interested in.

For example, since I'm a gamer, I take it into my hands (er, eyes) to see things related to games (or record-breaking achievements in games... whatever) and so I stumble upon the Easiest Boss Ever:
The Leader dude from The Incredible Hulk (Sega Genesis)



This is ridiculous. It's not even funny...

In fact, I dare you (I DOUBLE DARE YA) to find something less of a boss than what this guy is. He merely stares into space doing absolutely nothing, supposedly "angering" your green character into walking around at a nice pace, finding a good spot to land a jaw-breaking uppercut and send him flying into oblivion... without resistance.

The only part I kinda like about this is that the developers give you one minute to defeat him. The thing I least liked was this: You saw that pill sitting there? It's a RECOVERY ITEM.

Oh wait, the Leader seems to have competition!!



POP QUIZ: What happens when you bump into an enemy? Get hurt? Well, whaddayaknow: This is Bob the Goldfish from the Earthworm Jim series, famous for being the one other boss aside from the Leader famous for doing absolutely nothing to avoid his own demise. All his battles are quite interesting in the way that YOU don't do anything either. Just run to the boss room, dorky Jim will do the rest...

Well, on the other hand, there's this:



Skip the arguement the little ship has with Big Mamma ship and go to 0:15. Watch that your maw doesn't fall to the floor.

This... is... just... plain... unfair... Oh, Japan...

This is from an Xbox videogame called Mushihimesama Futari, a Gradius-style up-scrolling (not side-scrolling) shooter where the objective is to shoot weird-looking rays/bolts of... stuff... until you get to the queen of weird-looking rays/bolts of stuff. Her name is Larsa.

You cannot get to Queen Larsa on any difficulty mode other than Ultra Mode, which is a 15 in a difficulty scale of 1 to 5. There's an unlockable mode, but I'll get to that later. Meanwhile, fix your eyes on 2:25, the all-time videogame holy sh%# moment I've ever seen.

This section of the game involves precise maneuvering around the purple projectiles that fill the screen. Apparently (and luckily) you can activate a blast that eliminates all bullets on-screen - but it's only for a short period of time, and I think those things are limited.

Not bad for a vid with 2,748,416 views.

I noticed that the dude eventually won just because he had a lot of money to spend on continues, BUT the cheesiest part of this is what I read the video description, where this gamer confesses that another gamer has beaten Queen Larsa... without losing lives... on the unlockable GOD MODE (AKA the difficulty mode where only the jerk who created the game can actually beat it unscathed)

Here's the link, 'cuz I'm amused enough with the vid above to have to show another version of it.

Jeez, if those dudes can evade that barrage of bullets, they should have the ability to dodge rain!!
