Am I the first to figure this out? If so, w00t for me

EDIT: Also, I'm just trying to point out the similarities and not why Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin made the Cyclops go "thumbs up".........k?

umm ive known this for a VERY long time, its not as signifigant as uthink,

and i doubt it has some hidden meaning, not to be mean or crush hopes,

bt no u are not the first one

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its just a joke off of the Terminator.

Haha cool

[Keith 1]

its definitly a nod to the terminators death in T2

[The Mad Fiddler 20]

Arny! I like the terminator explanation better. But it's subjective!

[Zeybrin 0]

It is most definitely from Terminator 2. . .

Cyclops even has part of his glove missing to expose his bare thumb. . . the terminator had that too. . .

[Lycaon 0]

Definitely just an allusion to T2: Judgment Day.

Cool find.

I agree with the Terminator thing, but now that I saw the mega man video, maybe this is common? I dunno. There could be more videos that are similar.

[Professor Choak 0]

I thought it was funny regardless of any reference

i havent seen Terminator, so I dunno

it was just funny the first time I saw it

Wasn't the thumbs up from T2?

[Roy-G-Biv 447]

I still think that terminator 2 inspired both.

PS: You're a noob if you can't beat japanese airman and japanese woodman.

Was definitly homage to T2, I was cracking up when I first saw it. Another one is in the simpsons game... My friend loaned me the game a few weeks back and they did something similar as well.

I still dont get this?!?!

go rent Terminator 2 or go youtube and look for terminator 2 or something. Terminator2 was amazing when it came ou in the early 90's. I seen it in the teahter. But here is a quick break down, John Connor wanted the Termintor to show more emotion. The terminator is a machine, it knows of no emotion. As the movie goes along there is a short seen when Arnold learns how to give a thumbs up. So at the end of the moive the terminator (Arnold) tells John "I now know why you cry, it is something i cannot do" and as he lowers himself in hot liquid metal to destroy the last remaining chip of Skynet/ Cybernet in his metal head, he raises his thumb to John to show him what he has learn.

Its a salute, and if im correct these programers are in their late 20 early 30's as myself asnd we remember that moment and how awesome the movie was. If you really pay attention the game is " A Link to the past clone". One of the greatest SNES games ever. They are many other moments in the game that have some meaning or other. But i hope i cleared it up for you a bit. If not just click on this link

Me and my friend figured this out on our second run-through

We were more intrigued by the amount of references between AH and CC there are in the game

this pun is very likely to be intended(maybe)

this pun is very likely to be intended(maybe)

I don't think so. The only other thumbs up I am aware of comes from Chuck Norris. But I never seen Chuck in hot Magma with a half metal/skull face and red eye and giving a thumbs up as he dies.

Maybe they just wanted the thumbs up to be random?

the music...is awful to my ears
