I just don't get this.

I'm unsure whether you pasted that sentence or you're genuinely confused.

Cave Story is a jumping-and-shooting action game.
Explore the caves until you reach the ending.
You can also save your game and continue from where you left off.
— Author's description of the game

You wake up in a cave. You shoot your way out of the cave, so you can get to a village in another cave. Then you have to go to a different cave, followed by...

Well, it's aptly named. You might just come for the fun, Mega Man (Classic)-style gameplay, but the story is what you will end up staying for.

Cave Story is a freeware Metroidvania game by Daisuke Amaya, aka Studio Pixel. The game thrusts you into the action with no explanations, forcing you to figure out the plot by yourself as you go. There are robot soldiers, bunny people called Mimigas, and a Mad Scientist with a magic helmet and a Morally Ambiguous Doctorate trying to Take Over the World.

This game was created entirely by one man in his spare time. Daisuke Amaya wrote the scenario, drew the artwork and scenery, animated the sprites, designed all of the levels, composed all of the music, and programmed the entire game engine, all by himself over the course of five years.

Its breeding ground on the English-speaking Internet is here. There have been many ports. There's a Mac OS X port available here, and a Linux port available here. A port to the original Xbox also exists, as well as a PSP port, here (requires custom firmware).

It's on the Wii and DSI Ware with some extra features. There's a commercial version, Cave Story+, available in the Apple Mac Store, on Steam (for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux), on Desura (for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux), and (formerly) as part of Humble Indie Bundle 4 and 7; it has the Wii/DSI Ware features plus an extra level. Cave Story 3D is a remake for the 3DS with new content. Another port was confirmed for the 3DS eShop, which features 3D sprites and Cave Story+ extras, minus the HD graphics and sound. It was released on October 4, 2012.

Pixel has confirmed that a sequel is very, very likely.
This game provides examples of:

Every post in this thread is simply you pressing Ctrl+V to dump whatever you last cut or copied into the text box.  That's all there is to it.

My inspiring introduction on my ePortfolio:

I believe first and foremost in honesty. If you're looking for a portfolio that's loaded with inspirational cliches, or waxes eloquent about its writer's achievements, I'm afraid you'll do better to look someplace else. All you will find here are the hard facts about me, such as they are. If you as readers aren't impressed, all I can say is that I'm sorry, and that I don't blame you. If this portfolio is to lead you to believe that I do have something to offer, it's better for that to come by a bleak revelation of the facts than through silver-tongued rhetoric. Even so, I hope you'll find this content enlightening and memorable.

For a second I thought I could actually use the old forum with that. Way to go Soren.
