You should've named it "lets experience mycophobia" instead

One of the alternate names was "Phazon Mycophobia" but I didn't know if I should name the episode after the thing that gives you panic attacks. Reposting for the new page: FPzero posted:

You are absolutely correct about the best fuckin suit in the entire series. It's

I, uh, think you meant you sounded like Morty rather than Rick there. Or at least I didn't hear any burps.  Now I'm curious what the exception to the "coolest suit" thing is. I guess it's from another Prime game or you wouldn't have avoided mentioning it.

I don't think Metroid Prime could go fast enough for eSports commentary, but maybe that's just me.

I thought Omega Shih Tzu was really annoying to fight because of the absurdly inconsistent hitbox. When I had little health left on my first try I decided gently caress around a bit and found out that a power bomb can destroy all of its armor. I won the fight in my second try and that felt great. And yeah, the threat meter not reacting until you are in a Phazon pool is a bug, they fixed it in the Wii version.

Mordaedil posted:I always imagined the glow as a membrane protecting us from phazon. Or just so much concentrated Phazon radiation (I KNOW RADIATION DOESNT WORK THAT WAY GOD) that it just distorts the surroundings. Well its sorta typical since In Prime 3 Phazon can do whatever the gently caress it wants to

They changed the Phazon Suit a little bit for the loading screens in the Wii version. It's not actually any different in game, but the file menu plays a clip of Samus with her current suit when you load your save file. In the late-game clip for Prime 1, the Phazon Suit's lights are all blacked out save for the visor, and there are veins of phazon creeping up from the gun to cover Samus's entire right arm and shoulder.

I never knew that about the loading screens, huh. What I did know about versions differences and the Phazon Suit is that the collection animation changes for the PAL and Trilogy versions. Instead of the twitching pose that Samus explodes out of the Omega Pirate followed by the cool gun pose shown in the video, she instead just slowly stands up. It's way less cool but it's in pretty much every version other than the original NTSC release so unless you have that version, you won't be seeing it.

We can now roll in Phazon indefinitely! I'm sure that note about 100% fatality rate from prolonged exposure doesn't matter.

There's no way that Phazon can be worse than the cold vacuum of space or a lava dungeon. Even when you fall into lava it doesn't immediately melt so I'd say we're gonna be fiiiiiine.

The in-game notes on the Phazon Suit describe it as some sort of viral corruption. I don't think that's how radiation works either, but like Death Trap said, Phazon does pretty much whatever the gently caress it wants.

Yeah, this conversation will be easier to have at some point in the future, while I don't know much about this game or Prime 2 I know they go further into what Phazon is later in the trilogy. So let's hush for now.

Yeah, Phazon is a mixture of magic, nanites, bullshit, magic, pseudo-sentient virus, tiberium, magic, plant, mineral, unlimited energy source and...I mentioned magic right?

I rather like the original Phazon Suit design too, but the one they used in the final game is better: This was their first in-game model for it, but while it looks pretty radio-active, Phazon isn't green so they redid it completely. Phazon isn't black or orange either, but the new suit looks super cool so who cares. The final suit you get in every game in this trilogy is always really really cool lookin' and I appreciate it.

The Phazon Suit morphball was designed by Alienware and costs twice as much as the rest of her gear combined.

The phazon suit from 1 is my probably my second favorite suit from the Prime trilogy, because it's starkly different without looking dumb.

Not enough to fully cover. Also it's psychic, the force, and from the Warp. It can reverse the polarity of the neutron flow and make baryonic tachyons. Phazon is Grade S Unobtanium Technobabble.

Thin Mints or death no really, I'm allergic to nuts/coconut The concept of radiation has always freaked me out, and I feel the Bad Idea Zone captures that sense of trepidation extremely well.

Unironically if that helps you cope rather than freaking you out  I never actually went to a wedding as a kid but I did like sliding on slippery floors in socks. Man, both series that contributed to the name Metroidvania are dead now.

In regards to the Pirates dumbness, since it keeps coming up, while I don't believe it comes up in this game, iirc there is a compounding factor to their ridiculous stupidity; they're also insanely ambitious.

Phazon Mines is my favorite place. The constant eerie blue radiation being the only source of illumination for when you go deep enough, paired along with that creepy ambient geiger counter hum punctuated by angry metroids screeching being the only sound to accompany you through your descent... Love it. It's so atmospheric, and alien. Seeing the Phazon veins, it really sells the idea that this strange alien blue is going to wreck Tallon's ecology in 20 years time.

My favorite Girl Scout story is the one of that girl who set up her cookie stand directly outside the front door of a marijuana dispensary. She was sold out in like an hour.
