  To be honest, I’m most comfortable when I’m writing about old NES titles and beer. Although I am a musician and I’ve studied music from classical to Jazz to rock to blues, the differing opinions on the matter make it tough to publish my opinions on it, you brats are brutal. Worst of all is writing about movies. I watch a LOT of movies…crap movies. I love 70’s kung-fu and 80’s slasher flics. I am not a film critic, I never studied the ins and outs of cinematography, and I sure as hell don’t consider my self an expert. You can understand my anxiety when Zero asked me if I’d pen a top 10 movies. The conversation went something like this (the following is slightly dramatized for effect): “WTF? Top ten movies based on what?” “Whatever you want.” “Whatever I want? That’s like trolling for angry nerds” “Whatever, man. You ARE an angry nerd” “So I’m starting an argument, this is an argument list.” “Is there any other kind of list?” “Right on…”

  So here you have it. DestructoMaximo’s top 10 movies of all time. Ever. Without question.

• Top 10 SNES Games

  The SNES is the greatest console system ever created. Granted it had limitations on the graphics and the size of the games, but this only forced the designers to create stories that were truly captivating, and games that were just plain fun.  They had to push the limits of what they had. These days games are all about how real the graphics look, how much blood you can splatter, or all the other things that don’t matter. While we at OW agree that comparing these games is like comparing a Picaso to a cave painting, we ask which one was more impressive? Picasso had any color paint he wanted, stretched canvases, and didn’t have to fight for his food. The caveman had coals, berries, and had to avoid being eaten. The SNES is old, but it had some truly great games that have stood the test of time. They are continually hailed as the some of the greatest games ever made and few modern games, even with their pretty colors and 3D environments, can hold a candle to these classic titles. So here’s what we think are the best.

• Top 10 Boss Fights

  What makes a good boss fight? Is it the difficulty?  The creative way that you have to oust the villain?  Or perhaps you enjoy an easy boss because it makes you feel good and accomplished. If that’s the case you should re-consider your life, maybe you need to set more important goals and maybe you should get out of your parent’s basement. We here at O-W are well aware that the economy isn’t going so well but there are still jobs available, and you should find them. Once you get some money you can buy more difficult games and beat them in your free time, essentially doubling that feeling of accomplishment. Now that’s a plan. In any case, here’s what O-W thinks are the top ten boss fights. We purposely didn’t qualify it in any other way, which will most likely piss off many people, but hey, that’s what gets us up in the morning. These are the best boss fights.

• Top 10 Worst Movies Based on Video Games

  Movies are great, and so are video games. So it only makes sense that if you combine them together  the result will be greater, right? Well no, they usually suck and of all the video game movies it was difficult for us to narrow the list down to the absolute worst. All of these movies are terrible and the ones I actually saw in the theaters made me loathe the time and money spent with my feet glued to the sticky floor. I’ve always known that Hollywood doesn’t have enough intelligent people to write at least one original script, so they beg, borrow, and steal from everywhere possible. Unfortunately the brain trust over on the west coast often fails us and we get stuck footing the bill. This little list is OW’s revenge.  We hated these movies and hope you did as well.

• Top 10 Ways to Tell if You Suck at Video Games

  There are some games I’m just not good at.  I’ll admit that I’m terrible at Top Gun (landing the plane) and Ghosts n’ Goblins where I can’t even get past the first level.  While I may not be the best at these games, I know that I have talent elsewhere, like in being able to complete Super Metroid in a radically quick time and being able to beat the Mario Lost Levels, which most people can’t even come close to beating.  There are definite signs that you’re absolutely terrible at video games in general.  In this list, we’ll go through these reasons.  If you fit 4 out of 10 of these reasons, it’s best if you lay down the controller, or if you still want to play video games go and buy Lego Star Wars.  Unless you like embarrassing yourself, it would not be good to admit to anyone else that you suffer from one of these reasons below.
