We've got The Megaman Matrix at home.

On it boss!

Time to return to my roots of posting "bump" under any thread that I haven't posted in over the last hour to increase my post count.  Super Robot status HERE I COME.

It's been almost two years since this thread was updated.

I'm very concerned that you seem to have nut on this page.

Hey man, Don't kink shame

More like nuts to make it!

Nope.  Got those cut off in 2020.

It's just 3D art. The sweat is palpable.

Haha.  Yeah.  It's either blood, sweat, or tears.

.

I love that you ran with the naivety of the three characters here. 

It's like the MMM is being revived with three (vaguely humanoid) golden retrievers.  I love it.

I'm sorry.  I guarantee it'll happen again.



...eventually.

It's been a bit, so I thought I'd update with my (now abandoned) summer project of updating my fursona.  Enjoy the ghost tiddy.

Bam.  Hope Y'all like it.

Okay, ####.  What HAVE I become?

Ever always the late bloomer, I'm a senior in my undergraduate program, working towards my Master's in Clinical Mental Health. My focus has been, like, the intersection between minority stress, LGBTQ identities, and trauma.  It's some interesting stuff honestly... in that morbid kinda way anyways.

Outside of that, I've been doing the work as an english tutor, I'm getting into volonteer work as a counselor (which is manditory to my degree program RIP), and doing occasional public speaking gigs (they're small time, nonrecorded stuff.  sorry).

That's the nutshell I guess?  I'm still very much a work in progress, but such is fate when you don't really accept yourself until you're thirty.

I got my hands on this cute manga called "Catch these hands" that I'm really into.   There's only two volumes though so bully on that.

Catch these hands is, like, a story about a girl who used to be a high school delinquent but is considering going normie at, like, 24?  She meets a rival at a clothes shop looking for business casual attire, Said rival challenge, The protagonist needs to fight her, and if the protag loses, they gotta date.

It's pretty gay, I love it.

You'll never live it down Alec.

I'm going to blame this guy

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Oh.  uh...

Clearly I'm one of those shady russian spam bots.

see?

I got my job back the other day, That was neat.  Can you dudes believe I work at college-level Writing center?  Like, actually reading other student's work and improving on it?  Those of you who know me from like... 2004 might be blown away by that I guess... Maybe.   I actually blame this board and the people I kept in communication around that time for building my writing skills and building my vocabulary in a lot of ways.

I'm happy to have the thing back though.  I had to give it up when me and Peng split up.  It's a rewarding job, honestly, and I've helped at-least a couple of student's turn their grades from failing one to a modestly passing one.   Some of the job is just letting people in difficult situations know that they're not alone-- which goes a long way for me since that's the job I want to be doing in about half a decade. 

Doing alright--though my sporadic #####posting should be more than enough evidence to that.   I'm looking forward to the end of may, things happen then.

That comic made me feel something in my chest heart.

Hey, Y'all remember that Rockman Zero manga I linked a few years back that essentially ripped off Ruroni Kenshin's character archetype and has Zero as an effeminate airhead that turns into a "badass" whenever he gets angry or whatever?

Because I do.

You kid, but the first classic legacy collection was on humble bundle a week or two ago for a buck, and I grabbed that little SOB for quarantine entertainment.

Looks like this game took a real Megaman X Dive.

(get it, it's like Megaman X Over but instead--  Yeah, you get it.)

Aw man, is that why they extended the quarantine until the end of April?

I'm late to the party and I skipped like.... all of the thread.

I'm just here to say I support X's womanly child-bearing hips.

Plague of Shadows & Specter of Torment are better

I haven't yet completed King of Cards, but I fully agree.  Plague took a while to really get the mechanics, but once I got the muscle memory down it was really fun.

Specter was really abnormally short, but everything felt good (albeit broken).

King is really weird, all the levels feel too short and chopped up and spread out to elongate the game.  The card came is fine, I guess, though I've started just cheesing them with cheats (the ingame mechanics, not CheatEngine). 

Still, I'll stick to my guns that King of Cards is "Alright."  Not great, not worth the wait, but it was free (to me) and it's better than most of the free entertainment I've consumed.

Shovel Knight just released it's final expansions, so I've been playing it on and off today. 



it's alright.

Can priests even use necromancy?  It's not like Rezzo is a lich, I'd know, I tried to find his phylactery to no avail.

Now on PC: pay to play games that are over a decade old, with all the stretched resolution and save-states of the "computer program of dubious legality"s of the day!

Good on Capcom for, you know, adding this to consoles and PCs and #####, but y'all know the price is going to be like, 20-30$.

I must say, this was the most amusing MMM #####post I've read in a while.

I get that, but I decided to Roll with it.

 

Mine's a day before John's.  8/31 best worst birthday.

It's so nice to have the old WW back.

like the french do, I suspect. 

Plus, Mikero is Canadian, right?  That means he's learned french through osmosis or something.

how Zero done killed everyone

Inafune even said that sort of thing never happened

Ah, see, okay.  I understand now.
Zero was actually a robot clone of Wily who was seeking redemption.  This is a way better backstory to the character, much less edgelordy.

http://fandom.wikia.com/articles/mega-man-fan-theory-dr-wily-actually-robot-seeking-redemption

ah, My mistake, it's a Tug.

Isn't a negative press a pull?

A fair point.

Oh, I guess I should apologize a bit.  I finally got around to actually watching the MM11 teaser and I'm now a bit hype.  I had assumed it was another #####ing 16 bit game that go so much traction way back in like 2010 or whatever. 

I'm still super wary that Capcom will ##### the pooch, I'm going to probably wait until... like... a year after release where the hype has calmed down and people are more willing to give honest postmortems.

If the game is good enough, is on the right platforms, and is cheap enough to fit my budget I'll pick it up.

The fact that people keep bringing up the X series in this thread is certain PROOF that the GLOBALIST SOYBOYS are here spreading FAKE NEWS about the megaman games.  Listen, I'm not here to judge, I JUST WANT TO SEE SIGMA'S BIRTH CIRTIFICATE.  IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!

and thats why I always recommend Wrrr's own Megaman Xtreme.  It's like X, but to the XTREME!  You want Chill Penguin? We got 'em!  You want Megaman Zero? he's here too, but in the portability you've learned to love from the Z series.  May as well call MegamanX "ObamaMan X," with how these liberal millennials keep praising it.   

Be cool like Protoman and play MMXtreme.

Inafune even said that sort of thing never happened

Fine by me, I guess. 

Like I said, I still think it weakens the plot as a whole.  It has a huge potential to be built maturely and not just be edgelord fodder,  but I can fully understand how much more easily said than done that is. 

Wasn't that the cannon?  It's been fukkin forever.

I thought Zero was Wily's second Bass, only better, and then Zero went on a murder rampage killing Light, Mega, Roll, Wily... the like?

Or was it simply implied at the end of MMtPF?  

I thought it was a nice addition of character depth to Zello, Especially since he didn't dwell on or mention it in the core games.  It gave the feeling of a character with a right #####ed up past who turned to a side of "justice" without constantly and incessantly announcing that as WHY he fought evil.

That, without a bitch or a moan, without fessing up to X and the audience that "This is my punishment for being born a maverick", Zero sacrificed himself at the end of X1 for the greater good.  Instead his last lines were "I'm not through yet!" showing a dedication to a cause without any other declaration of ideals to muddy the act of blowing himself up to help X.

Which made the modern Cloud Strife level of "I'm a sad loner" of the Zero GBA games even more annoying IMO.



I mean if it's not cannon I think it's a net loss for the character, taking away what amounts to a neat little backstory and leaving Zero back in the position of "Megaman X's cool liek Protoman"

It's clear the GLOBALISTS have taken over this thread.

Nothing personnel kid, but I'm as banned as a zombie is dead.  

We're celebrating a decade of dribble here at Winged & Warrior industries,  and I'm not letting bejeweled pimp cane with a CS-Go nametag derail the freight train of crap referred to by my doctor as an "odd way of expressing humor"



No but we have fun here.


and back on topic, Unless Capcom starts selling 9/10/11 games at < 5$ a pop on steam like any half-decent NES remake/fangame... I just can't see myself caring about the new game.

I mean, I love to see that name pop up in the upcoming games list, and it being an NES remake means there's ALOT less opportunity for the game to be botched harder than an anime fan on prom night... but...

At the end of the day all I see is an overpriced, cheap to produce, nostalgia bait game to keep the copywrite active and the shareholders happy.

Wake me up when Capcom takes a page from Sega and produces a fan-game made by people who give a ##### about the IP (and don't ruin it like they did with MML3).

No that's Jake.

Jake's the Fungi... I miss Jake.   Also I wonder if it's racist to call a plant a fungus...  I mean technically they're not plants, right?  My PC botany is lacking, especially in the Trump era of fake news, but I mean...

Oh Rez, You think too highly of Cacpom.  If we get a new MMX, it's going to be in the graphical style and maybe even storyline of between X2&X3.

Given I didn't play Classic 9 or 10, so I don't know if they continue the story of Duo and Rock's growing sense of evil... but I'd honestly expect X to follow the same theme of cheaply made nostalgia bait if it got a late 2010s release.

I had a bud ask me what the deal was with Zero while I was crafting my masterful #####post for the MMZ series.

I had to stop and recall and I started with the MMtPF story of how Zero was created by Whywee and how Zero done killed everyone before eventually having the Maverick virus stolen from him by sigma.

I linked him to WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOR?!?!

and then I began to explain the story -as I remembered it- of the Z series.  It's been forever, and some of the games' plots and villians spilled over into other games which made it hard for me to convey the series LORE properly.

That's when said buddy decided to say "##### it" and google the wiki for the stories, pulling out buzzwords I had chosen to forget like the elf wars (which we agreed that Cyber-Elves were a terrible name for those things, and they should have been called sprites).

Even the short description of "Zero kills Copy-X, then his buddy who's corrupted by the dark cyber elf, then oops it's another Copy-X, then it was you that was a copy ALL ALONG" is just... absurd.


I still hold true that the game wasn't a nightmare to play, and even the weak story was a decent and cheap way for new fans to get into the Megaman fandom and discover what the good games actually are, MMZ acts like it was a one-shot that ran out of ideas far too quickly.

:3c

But who's going to make it?

Don't worry brah.  I took care of it.

I grew up in NeoArcadia, drinking sodium fluoridated water. All the scientific studies show my IQ has been reduced by at least 20 points. The shadow of who I would have been calls out from the grave.

What do you think tap water is? It's a gay bomb, baby. And I'm not saying people didn't naturally have homosexual feelings. I'm not even getting into it, quite frankly. I mean, give me a break. Do you think I'm like, oh, shocked by it, so I'm up here bashing it because I don't like gay people? I don't like 'em putting chemicals in the water that TURN THE FREAKIN' REPLOIDS GAY! Do you understand that? I'm sick of being social engineered, it's not funny!

I'm like a chimpanzee, in a tree, jumping up and down, warning other chimpanzees when I see a big cat coming through the woods... I'm the weirdo? Because I'm sitting in a tree going OOH OOH AAH AAH AAH OOH AAH AAH OOH OOH OOH AAH AAH AAH AAH AAH!?

WE KNOW WE'RE UNDER ATTACK! WE KNOW IT! WE'RE BREAKING THE CONDITIONING! YAAAHHH! RAAAHH! WE'RE COMING FOR YA GLOBALIST. COMING FOR YA! COMING FOR YA! WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! I'm sorry. I just get FIRED UP when I think about what they're doing to us and how I wanna resist them, and how easy they are to defeat.












[spoiler] I'm not sorry in the least [/spoiler]

Not really my thing.  Maybe when they add Tiencha into the game

This is new member read or die thread, not a general discussion thread.

MMZ is a read or die topic now.

my nostalgia glasses are still on for them.

I got the DS collection at some point which really soured my view.  There's something just utterly obtuse about how Zero feels and how his stages are built.  I don't know how best to describe it outside of trying to play it again... which isn't happening.  It just felt... wrong.

Besides, BN3 is inferior to 2 just on the Navi Customizer alone and having to swap your build to add the #####ing "compress" chip to move over 1 tile of tiny pipe all the damn time.  That and 2 had MUCH better Program Advances.  BN2 is best BN.

I don't remember why I bailed on BN2.  It was either I didn't like the quickman fight or the game didn't have a charge buster.  The Wrrrtw of that year wasn't very smart, so the reasons probably weren't very valid to begin with
