"...VIDEO GAME MOVIE
DUMPSTER FIRE
DIAPER GRAVY!"
Rikk’s lonely little brain finally snaps and he decides to solve the co-host shortage the only way a deranged retro gamer knows how: by cloning himself. Thus begins Playing With Myself, the short-lived spin-off where one man, two voices, and zero supervision dive headfirst into the unforgiving pixel pit of 1987's Mega Man on NES. Armed with sass, save states, and a shared contempt for Guts Man’s platform section, the Rikk duo attempts to defeat Dr. Wily’s entire robot army... while also figuring out which of them is the "evil" clone. (Spoiler: it’s both.)
GAME BIO: Mega Man is a 2D action platformer developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game introduced the series’ defining structure, allowing players to choose the order of Robot Master stages and acquire their weapons upon defeat. Featuring precise platforming, pattern-based boss battles, and a focus on skill-based progression, Mega Man laid the foundation for one of Capcom’s most enduring franchises.
