How are you celebrating Mega's 25th Anniversary?

[Bean]

I know this is mostly a Legends site, but I also know there's some crossover with the fans here. Since outside of a few quality music CDs, Capcom's been pretty lame about treating the Blue Bomber with respect, I figured it was time to go back to playing some games both new and old to see how the series has come along.

Currently, I've been playing Rockman 7 FC, a fan game that takes the SNES' Mega Man 7 and "demakes" it into an NES-stylized game. For the first time, I'm doing a series with my voice instead of text to continue working on that front and am mostly enjoying it.

I have plans to do other games but the games I was thinking on have wavered thanks to some recent comments. I might actually go back and try Rockman 8 FC since it's been made into a better quality title over the past two years or just go on and stick to my original plan of fan game/real game/hack strategy.

I also put up the 25th Anniversary Rock & Techno soundtracks on my channel, too, and highly recommend nearly all of the tracks on it.

That's where I'm at right now with this. What about all of you?

I'm celebrating privately. ... On the inside. :41:

I've bought some of that super-cool MegaMan merchandise that I totally wish had been around when I was younger and cannot even begin to fathom why the MegaMan fanbase is so annoyed about. I've also loaded up my super cool, new Android phone with as much MegaMan themed stuff as I can think of. My wallpaper is the MegaMan 2 intro; that health bar is my battery meter; Protoman's whistle for my ringtone, Beat's whistle for Twitter notifications and the MegaMan Battle Network “new e-mail” sound-effect; and I'm decorating its case with Protoman's emblem from Battle Network. I was going to put the same 8-bit Protoman pose on there, but I figured it would be nice to change it up a little bit.

(Can you guess who my favorite character* is? )

I'm listening and looking forward to the albums as well. (Hey, that's another thing the “fans” are annoyed about.. ) I can't even begin to tell you how stoked I am about “We Are ROCK-MEN! 2” It totally made my day when that got announced; I was sitting around listening to the original “We Are ROCK-MEN!” thinking how cool it would be if they made another one, and pow— there it was. Then I was thinking how cool it would be if they featured some songs from other MegaMan series like Star Force and Battle Network, and then that happened.

And games? Well, not really. I played ZX a little while back. And I was tearing back into the Battle Network series over the Summer, but I didn't get very far. I played quite a few MegaMan games last year, though, so I'm a little MegaMan’d out, anyway. Oh, but I'm totally gonna get equipped with MegaMan Xover; that game looks fantastic! ... Just kidding**.

* - Oh, err... not that one. :1A:
** - Even I'm not that optimistic these days.
(Also, I couldn't play Xover if I wanted to.)

With a case of forties.

Me, I might wait until after classes are over, but I plan to do a little: as I've a mix of figures from ther various series, I might take a photos like I did for this years Rockman Day, maybe set up a few with some of my lego models, too.

Outside those, I might do one or two drawings and play the games for a bit.

Play megaman games, listen to megaman music, and maybe eat some fried egg yolks in honor of energy pellets?

Wait..,. but that's what I do everyday =(

Probably with better success than this, I'm betting:

I just now started up Rockman 8 FC now. Guess more people want to listen to my voice than I thought. I'm fine with that. I actually enjoy talking, and this gives me a chance to keep working on that. It also lets me play Mega Man 8 again, one of those oddball games that I really like.

[MegaTuga]

Ack I forgot about the Rockman 8 FC. I have it somewhere but I think it's a demo version. Gotta get it, if not for the anniversary.

Thanks for the reminder.

... Me? Probably nothing. Although I may play StarForce 3 to death, in an attempt to get the Omega Bosses.
