Javascript is required to load the player Here is an entertaining little video, created by Niconico Video user naganuma. I’ve seen people try to shoot in rhythm to the music in speed runs, but they have nothing on this. (Of course, this is engineered.) I’ve long been interested in making a rhythm themed Mega Man […]
