Smorgasbored!
permalinkWhile I was writing last week's article, I jotted down the tag "bees will end you."
In the past seven days, I realized how true that is -- or rather, how true that is if you're the protagonist of many NES games. Or alternately, if you're in that one movie with MaCaulay Culkin. No, not Home Alone, that later, edgier one*
*: and no, not Home Alone II, either.
Can there be love between a gray box and a wax hive?
This week, I've decided to expand that tag into a whole article animated GIF madhouse, and create some documentation of the love affair between the NES and the humble (yet incredibly sting-y) insect known as the common honeybee/bumblebee/whatever.
Buckle up tight -- and be sure to close the windows so no bees get inside -- because this week we're going to look at five separate video game heroes suffer the STINGS and arrows of outrageous torment!
Bring on the Bee-Related Doom!
Wizards & Warriors (& Bees)

If he did punch the bee, he'd undoubtedly say "HCHHUH" about the experience (he always says that when he punches).

Yeah, sadly there were lots of games that i couldn't get to -- I try to keep these quicky-articles below 45 minutes, so my time budgeted for research of games I don't know went towards trying to find the bee in "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde", but, well...that game is so painful to play... there's always next time!
