Wrex - also had a side career writing early 90s hip-hop.

Correct. Also, it bears note that I watched about a minute and a half of that video before I realize...Wrex wasn't coming.

Bioshock scared the newts off of me.

For SS2, picture Bioshock but on a spaceship with severely limited ammo, weapons that regularly broke down, enemies that respawned throughout the levels (so you're never, ever safe), and a hivemind and evil AI that taunted and misled you throughout the game.  Oh yeah, and invisible spiders.  F those guys.  

I had a lot of fun with Bioshock but it was a pretty pale shadow of SS2 except for a few great moments.

Correct. Also, it bears note that I watched about a minute and a half of that video before I realize...Wrex wasn't coming.

He is in effect though.

Well it certainly isnt Toy Story for SNES... Man that was probably the hardest game ever, I could never understand what they were asking me to accomplish.

In Street Fighter 2, the final boss is an evil dictator named M Bison.  However, this was not his original name, as some character names were shuffled around before US release.  Which character was originally named M Bison, and why was the change made?

Vega. Mike Bison was thought to sound too much like "Mike Tyson" ... and was also thought to not be threatening enough.

Right species wrong game.

Correct on both counts. It is not Toy Story, and that game was way too hard.

Vega.

Incorrect sir.  Although very close; the guy we know as M Bison was originally called Vega.  But the question is who was originally named M Bison, and why was it changed?

It was Balrog ... but in the American release, they were afraid of getting sued for having an African American boxer named "M. Bison" (get it? "Mike Tyson"?), so they switched his name up with the final boss.
