About

My name's Ben. I'm pretty quiet but really easy to get along with. I've been playing video games since I was a little kid, watching my brother play the NES and sometimes playing with him. The first game I ever beat was Super Mario RPG, and that's when I developed a love for video games.

I'm also the Friday recapper for the Cblog Recaps team!

I was on an episode of the Secret Moon Base Podcast! You can listen to me talk about video game bosses with the gang!

Villains: Ode to Wood Man

10:15 PM on 10.04.2011

Wood Man,
I seek thee within the mechanical forest.
Thy lair lies guarded by metallic monkeys,
protected by robotic rabbits and bionic bats.
Machinery meets Mother Nature,
and I must best both of them
lest I never meet thee.

Wood Man,
once within thy fortress of flowers and firs
we are finally met face to face.
Behold! Thy body of birch, so beautiful.
Thy helmet of hazel, so heavenly.
Thy legs of larch and thy oaken orifices tempt me so.
I stand in amazement as I ponder thy form.

Wood Man,
send forth thy gift of leaves,
thy razor-sharp foliage,
to cut me from my reverie.
It pains me so, but I must proceed.
Fear not the flames I send thee,
for they are a symbol of my burning passion.

Artwork courtesy of Jack Teagle.

O Wood Man,
thou art oft maligned and ridiculed
for thy wooden form and thy leafy weapons.
But thou art not universally despised,
for there is one who appreciates thy leafiness.
There is one who adores thy woodiness,
and that lone soul is me.

Wood Man, you give me wood.

<3

Poor Woodman. Even I am guilty of making fun of him when I was young and foolish. Great poem! I love the abrupt shift in tone in the last line!

princevaliant

Megaman 2 tribute ftw

Elsa

LMAO!! Love that ending line! Awesomeness!

AwesomeExMachina

Thank you for this.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I was originally planning to write a normal blog about the Bonne family (I still might), but then I remembered Wood Man for some reason and I became inspired to write this. He really is my favorite villain from the original Mega Man games because, I mean come on, he's a robot made of wood! I'm glad you guys found my poem enjoyable/humorous! :D

@GrooveMan: Man, you got me all excited! I thought someone made some program or game centered around Wood Man. I haven't actually played Mega Man Battle Network, but WoodMan.exe looks pretty crazy!

But speaking of things centered around Wood Man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt9ZmwBM8ms

I really love Wood Man. They managed to pack so much personality in a little low res sprite with a total of... 2 animations?

I actually stuck Wood Man in a comic I drew in my early 20's. Good times.

Fapped for the last line.

DimmuJed

scarritt
