Dragon God totally owns the faces of everyone. Not really a surprise, I hope. WHAT WILL JOHNNY DOOOOOO!?

So I’m pretty sure I talked about MegaMan 10 a little bit last time, but I’ve played more of it since so I’m going to talk a bit more. I love SheepMan. He’s freaking adorable. NitroMan is also very cool, though I didn’t feel that way until I actually fought him and saw his moves. He’s basically SUPER MetalMan, which is pretty awesome. ProtoMan mode is stupidly hard, but I knew that would be so. Looking forward to Bass mode!

Still didn’t pick up Shiren the Wanderer 3, but I’m gonna try to do so soon. DOesn’t realy matter though, since I’m sure I’ll never beat it anyway.

Some people just don’t know how to adapt their speech to suit the situation. Like, have you ever heard a young guy address a cop or something as “Dude” or “Man”? That’s not getting you out of breathalyzer!

MEGAMAN 10 IS OUT! AND I HAVE IT! AND IT IS COOL! I wouldn’t mind a 16-bit look for one of these new games, as I really really liked MegaMan 7, but I think I’m in the minority on that one.

Speaking of MegaMan, the much anticipated (by me) release of Hitoshi Ariga’s Rockman Megamix in good old English has come and gone, and I can’t seem to find the damn thing in a store anywhere. As a matter of fact, I haven’t been able to find a manga that I actually wanted in a retail store in years! I understand having trouble finding books from smaller publishers, but sometimes there are Viz books that stores don’t stock simply because they are not Bleach or Naruto.

Can’t seem to find a copy of Shiren the Wanderer 3 either… very annoying, but I guess that’s what the internet is for!

Well, his motivations are noble, even if his task is somewhat less than heroic. Go get’em, tiger!

With this page we will take a brief leave of Zan Onigiri and Johnny Matchead, and explore this new locale a bit more thoroughly. Next update on Saturday, like usual.

Has anyone ever played that old Ninja Turtles game for the NES? The not so good one? When I was a kid, I could never get through the second stage, with the underwater bomb defusing. Lately I’ve been giving it another go, and I’ve been steadily gaining ground in the game… all for nothing. Despite beating the 3rd, 4th and 5th levels, which I never even knew existed, it would seem that the 6th stage, inside the technodrome, is simply impossible. Even with 99 of the strongest weapon equipped to EVERY TURTLE, the enemies in the last stage are just too powerful. Very disheartening…

I’ve often thought of the action scenes in this game as being comparable to Castlevania. The turtles move very similarly to the pokey Belmonts of old, the level structures look a bit alike, and there are even subweapons to equip. Technically, with the overworld sections, exploration, and multiple characters, Ninja Turtles is even a slightly more deep, complex game than the earlier Castlevanias, even if these elements are poorly executed. In fact, without the Turtles branding, you could have fooled me into thinking this was a sequel to Simon’s Quest! Even more interesting is that this game is actually more difficult than any Castlevania game I’ve ever played, even going as far as to allow only two game overs. Insanity.

On the bright side, the music reminds me of MegaMan Battlenetwork, which is ALWAYS good.

Alright! Episode 3, Righteousness is the Molten Core of a Man, begins today! And it won’t stop! At least not for a few weeks, I swear. So long as I remain totally unemployed, this comic WILL CONTINUE!

In other news, I kinda got published, sort of. Life Meter Comics is putting out the third volume of their yearly anthology, and it just so happens that this guy right here managed to make it in! Of course, its all for charity the comic is only 3 pages long, but I’m still really excited about it! The book will be available for purchase on the Life Meter website soon enough, so make sure you take a look! All proceeds go to Childsplay! Check it out at Life Meter Comics! The Mega Man comic is mine…

That’s all! See you on Thursday!”
