I think video game bosses get a bad reputation. I mean afterall, they are trying to prevent you from advancing to the next level in some way. But the programmers are to blame, in my opinion. For a moment, I'm asking you think about every living boss (nothing that has to be operated like jets, vehicles, etc.) and mini-boss you've ever faced. Pick one and then give him/her/other a pleasant personality based on what you think they would act like when they have some free time. Take them out to dinner, catch a ballgame, or whatever. I just want to know which boss could you hang out with?
Remember Krang and the Shredder? They took about hundred of my quarters, but it's only business If you remember the cartoons series, both of them were pretty funny. Having a sense of humour whil trying to dominate the world goes a long way with me. I wouldn't mind spending the day with Krang and Shredder.
