^^ yeah, NMH1 was SO unique, fresh, and different. I loved everything about it, even the poorly constructed hub-world.
It really has a nice theme to it, a geek dude as the main 'hero' who kills people, loves otaku and wrestling. the bosses were great, but that "moe" anime line Travis says just sealed the deal, i've loved NMH ever since :)
when you like something a lot, it's easy to fogive it's flaws ;)
