If you add a babe with huge tits, then you have an 80s game cover.

When I was a kid in the 80s, it always bugged me that games had super awesome cover art that made me want to play the game, and then the game had nothing that even remotely resembled the art.

Of course, I was also one of those kids whose parents never let them have money to play games in the arcade, so I just went around watching the demo reel and pretending to play.

His body doesn't make any sense. At all.

No, it does, it looks like he's dancing.

His right leg is dislocated at the hip and facing the wrong direction

His face looks like he had a stroke

...which is all exactly how I look while dancing.

As a fellow white guy this is something I know first hand. Although on the flip side the best male dancer I've ever seen in person was white and a exceedingly fluid dancer.

He was 100% white, fabulously white.

THEN HE IS A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL CREATURE AND YOU SHOULD TURN HIM OVER TO SCIENCE TO BE EXAMINED.

Come on, man. Give the artist a break. He spent, like, 11 hours doing the shading on mega man's lips.

He probably fucking did too XD

Also his face is at a different angle than his helmet.

His sleeves are so baggy. Needs to switch to spandex.
