So once a month I have to reset my logon password for my computer here at Eventual Practical Financial Services Corp. Several months ago, I rediscovered a beloved old Nintendo game, 'MegaMan 2'. I thought, hey, that game brings a smile to my face and reminds me, no matter how grim life might become, there will always be fun things like MegaMan 2 to take me away from the rank and file and back to the place where I belong: Super-Happy Fun Land.So I made 'megaman2' my password.
The next month I decided to go with something like 'MarioKart' or 'LegendofZelda'. But no. My computer would give me an error message and say that those passwords were invalid. So as a last-ditch effort, I entered in MegaMan 3 as my new password.
"Password Accepted. Your new password "megaman3" will expire in 30 days.
Okay. Well, 'MegaMan 3' was a pretty good game. It still brings a smile to my face and sunshine to my heart to think of it. It's a good password.
I got in 15 minutes late this morning after sitting in what the history books will remember as the Traffic Jam of 2005. I turned on my computer and logged on--and got the good old, "It's time to change your password" notice. I had made it to megaman5, despite my best efforts to the contrary. As I'm sure you're ALL aware, the MegaMan series took a serious turn for the worse after MegaMan 3 (there are eight total). Now, every time I logged on to my computer, it wasn't making me happy. It was making me depressed.
It was time for a new password. Something...festive.
How about "Christmas"?
"Password not accepted. Your new password must contain at least 6 characters and be different from your last four passwords."
Uhh... how about "Christmas05"?
"Password not accepted."
Maybe my computer has a Christ-blocker on it. How about "Holiday05"?
"Password not accepted."
Good grief! I suppose you want me to put in "megaman6", the WORST game in the entire MegaMan series! When I think of that game it brings to my mind thoughts of wasted potential, mind-numbing tedium, and dreams gone wrong!
"Password accepted. Your new password "megaman6" will expire in 30 days."
I tell you, the machines are taking over...

Anything but Megaman6 that was by far the worst. I didn't even realize 7 & 8 had come out due to the fact that Megaman 6 was so bad. I was sure it was the downfall of all videogaming.
Well, it's not THAT bad. The first three just set such a high standard for the rest of the series. MegaMan 6, for all it's faults, is STILL a better game than most of the "Be a virtual crack-whore! Steal cars! Kill cops! Whee!" games that people are peddling to toddlers these days.
point well taken
But Forky, what happens if I want my child to know how to kill cops and steal cars? What happens if I am depending on that income?
In all serious, I agree...though... there is something to be said about MegaMan 5...
