During my lunchtime youtubin' I came across this... though you folks might get a kick out of it.

I dig it.

I like the ability to pick up and throw sonic pulsars and the different weapons (never seen Mario use a gun before). Seems to have some influences from the Metal Slug games. Also, nice little cameo of the shocktroopers from Half Life: Opposing Force.

Wow. Next time I play TFTD I'm naming an aquanaut "Mario."

When the popper came running out, who else thought, "Poppers gonna Pop?"

That was great. I also recognized one of the aliens from Alien Carnage, and one of the aliens and a gun from Blake Stone, plus the HL aliens. All that delicious nostalgia.

The sad part is that this is still more X-Com than XCOM is yes.
