My choices to date:



Mega Man: Cut Man - He just looks like a crazy psychopath who loves to cut things/people >



Mega Man 2: Metal Man - Because his weapon is my favourite in the whole NES series



Mega Man 3: Gemini Man - None of the Robot Masters in this game really excited me, so I went with the one I thought looked cooler. Plus, he's got a cocky grin and can clone himself for added confusion/fire power



Mega Man 4: Pharaoh Man - I also liked Skull Man, but I just thought Pharaoh Man had more majesty.



Mega Man 5: Napalm Man - It was a close call between him and Charge Man, because of my childhood love of trains, especially steam engines. But in the end, Napalm Man looked less silly and more like a walking arsenal so he got my vote.

I can read people's quote without any problem. Revned, you might want to PM JonLeung or Inty about this.

Revned, I think you might be confusing Quote with Signature. In fact, I have no idea what the text you put in Quote even means. Maybe it's what is displayed when someone quotes you? Some boards seem to have personalized text for each poster.

Dan Said:

In case you haven't seen it, here's the crazy-funny movie based on the Juggernaut's famous line.

8o That.. wasn't funny at all, at least not to me. I don't know how you call this kind of language (pimp-talk, jive-talk, ebonics?) but it can be fun/cool (Pulp Fiction did it well for example) but this didn't do anything for me. I *am* eager to hear it in the real movie however.

I don't know how long it would have taken to earn the Link and Image abilities the normal way, but I guess one month would be about right. But if you ask me, that's one month where posting would be a chore more than anything.



I mean, those are the most basic of abilities to have on the net, since basically browsing the web is, at its most basic, reading text with pictures and being able to click on links to get elsewhere. I'm sorry if I sound bitter, but I really didn't have much interest to post in a crippled manner compared to all the other boards I'm a member of. The inability to edit posts is still something that I miss, because often I would have something to add after making a post, but since I don't want to have too many posts of mine one after the other, I'll just say to myself "oh, to hell with it".



I think that the reward system should be about things that are cool but not necessary. For example, being able to have a larger avatar, to change the color of our text, to use additional smilies beside the basic ones, etc. Those are fun and would enable board members to personalize their posts.

Some pictures of vehicles used in the movie have been leaked to the net! On the following two links, you can find pictures of 'Brawl' the Decepticon police car with cool decals and insigna, a huge tank which looks slightly futuristic (probably the 'Devastator' from the script), and what will most likely be the banged-up run-down Bumblebee and his shiny new body!

If Quick Man hadn't destroyed me so often and so effortlessly when I was playing as a kid, he might have gotten my vote. Metal Man is the coolest after him but got my vote on account of having the best and most useful weapon ever. Boomerangs don't do shit to anything except Gutsdozer. Sorry Quick, next time don't be such an ass

Well, in the game I'm pretty sure he threw the blade on his head and it would always come back even after hitting you, so it's a real blade instead of some pseudo virtual blade that Mega Man generates with his Arm Cannon which disappears the moment it touches an enemy.



As for my vote, well I was practically not online at all during the first few days mind you. And besides, who cares about the poll really. I'm just goofing off with my favourite cutter .

Nah, he'd go for subtlety. He'd invite his fellow Robot Masters for a party or something and while all five of them were standing around a table, he'd throw one of his Rolling Cutter through the ktichen door and decapitate them all in one swoop. He's a bastard that way, but a winning bastard still.

No ! I wanted Cut Man (whose real name is Cutty McBlade, no really!) to win! You're all a bunch of bastards you know, not giving him is one big chance to shine.



Screw you guys, I'm going home!

Speaking of edit JonLeung, any way for you to edit the first poll and add in my Cut Man vote? Just in case

I was already spoiled several months back when an early script was leaked on SomethingAwful I think. At the time I was desperatly hoping the worst part wouldn't happen or that it was bogus. Unfortunately the major negative points are still there, which is why I probably won't like it as much as the first two.

Personally, I prefer Roman numerals for the Game Boy games, but since it's not universally recognized, I also specify the system.



As for my choice of Metal Man, well the Metal Blades are my all-time favourite Mega Man weapon for the original series. They're fast, can fly out in any direction, consume little weapon energy and you can have three blades on the screen at once. Nothing else has been that versatile in the Blue Bomber's arsenal since in my opinion.

Definitely Cut Man. He just screams 'evil psycho cutting people with blades' to me.
