This one is a little bittersweet, because it was the last original series Mega Man game for a very, very long time. 12 years, if I'm not mistaken.

Mega Man 7 (Super NES, 1995)
The series debuts on the Super NES with a bang! ...that is, if you don't count the two (superior) Mega Man X games already on the system by the time this came out. I actually thought they were done with the original series after the sixth game and had moved on to exclusively Mega Man X. So it was pretty weird when we got this game, and even weirder when we got Mega Man 8 a few years later. The last two weren't quite so weird, probably because a decade had gone by and now we'll take anything we can get from this series.

Mega Man 6 (NES, 1993)
MEGA MANIA returns with the final NES installment. Did they save the best for last? No. No they did not. It isn't a bad game, though. I like it more than Mega Man 5.

Mega Man 5 (NES, 1992)
Mega Man returns with a game that is fairly acclaimed... but that I have never been a fan of personally. Will I like it more this time? Let's find out.

Mega Man 4 (NES, 1991)
Mega Mania continues! This one is very good, and gets my personal vote as perhaps the best of the six on NES. It doesn't get the same kind of hype that the two before it get, though.

Mega Man 3 (NES, 1990)
We enter the 90's with one of the greatest NES games of all time. This was also one of the first video games I ever got into, period. This and the Marioes. Good times. While the Mega Man brand has been severely tarnished over the past 12 years or so, this is Mega Man at its best.

Mega Man 2 (NES, 1989)
A big improvement over the original, Mega Man 2 is one of the finest and most iconic action games on the NES.

Mega Man (NES, 1987)
It's the first of Mayyyyy! First of Mayyy! And the Mega Man starts today. I'm celebrating this month with Mega Mania, a parade of Mega Man posts both new and old.
This, right here, is the game that started it all. I was going to play this during The Three Decade Project, but it ended up being pushed aside for the first Zelda game instead. I decided to revisit this post due to the historical significance that this game has going for it. 1987 must have been a magical time for gamers, because things like this were just coming into being for the first time. Also, we were a full eight or nine years away from internet message boards ruining our enjoyment of everything.

Dragonball Z Movie 14: Battle of Gods
April is sometimes Dragonball Z Month here, and this year is the final installment of said month. Going for all the marbles. This month has truly been Over 9000.
A decade after Movie 13 (two decades in Japan), we got this one more or less out of nowhere. Indeed, after a long, long absence, Dragonball Z finally returned to our lives in a big way. Does this feature film measure up to the DBZ of olde? Read on.
Spoiler alert: It totally does. It also takes place a couple years after Movie 13, if that.

Dragonball Z Movie 13: Wrath of the Dragon
Finally, a movie I've never covered before. For around two decades, this was the final Dragonball Z movie. It takes place at or around the end of the Z series. Much like the previous movie, it introduces some interesting concepts.
Get ready for Dragonball Z: Cloverfield.

Dragonball Z Movie 12: Fusion Reborn
This is the trivia answer to "What Dragonball Z movie contains both Freeza and Hitler?"
This was the second DBZ movie I ever saw (after Tree of Might). It was quite a step forward in time. I'd only seen up to the Ginyu Saga in the show because that was all we got in the U.S. for a long time.

Dragonball Z Movie 9: Bojack Unbound
This is almost without a doubt the best of the original thirteen Dragonball Z movies. It's so good that it makes the rest look awful. It gives Gohan his first main event role in a movie. The villains are the coolest gang of ruffians in any DBZ movie, or perhaps even the series at large. Also, in this one Yamcha fights. If that isn't a selling point, I don't know what is.

Dragonball Z Movie 8: Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan
Time for one of the most popular DBZ movies. It isn't my favorite because the villain is pretty one-dimensional. Also he's all blown up like Scott Steiner. Not that there's any kind of issue with that, if you're reading, Mr. Steiner. Sir.

Dragonball Z Movie 7: Super Android 13
Today on DBZ, our heroes battle androids that are lower-numbered than the earlier androids, yet more powerful! How is this a thing? And now, we have not one, not two, but a TRIO of Super Saiyans running around.

Dragonball Z Movie 4: Lord Slug
This is one of the good DBZ movies; it often gets underrated. A lot of this is because it suffers from being between the nostalgic Tree of Might and the much-hyped Kooler's Revenge, as well as being JUST before the Super Saiyan Era.
While the previous movie had a Saiyan villain and the next one has a Freeza Race villain, this one gives us a Namekian villain to round things out. Not just any Namekian, either... a SUPER Namekian. The dub also features tons of licensed music from Disturbed and various other metal bands. It's worth a watch.
