  1. No, not really. I edited it above, but I'm not really willing to edit it further. Really, there's not much more that can be done to it without changing it dramatically. In this bio's current form, I see nothing else that can be done with it. in fact, there's a part of me that thinks that maybe, just maybe, you're not happy with me taking this bio from you in the first place. but then i think, nah that can't be. that would be incredibly unprofessional...
  2. Can't really tweak that phrasing without it being more redundant than it already is. Hmm... I'll see what I can do; no promises though. Don't want to have this bio go through as many revisions as Wily's plans for world domination (though I'd hope we'd eventually succeed unlike him). Gotcha. "get equipped with" is only used as a bit of a joke. you know, you defeat a boss in a mega man game, you "get equipped" with their weapon? Also I'm trying to keep it somewhat casual here; if they want more technical lingo, they can follow the source links. But for the purposes of this bio, I'm keeping it as it is, both for the sake of the little joke (funny, I think I was just as stubborn trying to keep Free Bird in the K.K. bio), and for the sake of making this easy to read while still informative. Nowhere special, just some official materials. Also the game itself when you defeat the Doc Robots.Also, how exactly would I go about replacing "saved the girl" with something else? Here's a list of possible ways that don't work and why they don't work "saved his daughter" - whose daughter? Proto Man's? He has a daughter? Oh it's the father from the line before. Not clear enough. "saved the doctor's daughter" - Wily's daughter? Oh that father from the line before is a doctor as well? Why not add that? Oh right, another irrelevant name that isn't necessary for this bio. "saved the daughter" - THE daughter? Now that just sounds bad. Really, all alternative phrasings to this sentence are pretty much unusable. For the purposes of the bio and keeping the information light while still introducing the character... "saved the girl" works best since in the sentence previous I do mention that "Wily kidnapped a young girl." I suppose I could replace it with "saved the young girl," reusing the same phrasing to draw the reader's eye back to the previous instance of it, but outside of that nothing else will work. Creates a tense conflict with the rest of the sentence, which is written in present tense. Because of that tense setting, "feels" works. Also that's kinda how I wrote it and changing it to "felt" changes the sentence entirely. Mmhmm. Glad you liked it. I'll get to work on Mark V: BLUES NO WANA wait that's the subtitle to Rockman 5 in Japan... really for one who wanted to do this bio originally, there seems to be a few things here tied into the franchise of origin that you seem to be missing. Here's Mark V. ----- *whistles* Sometime before Dr. Thomas Light created Mega Man, he worked on a different robot. This robot, Proto Man, was Light's first creation, although it wasn't long after completion that Proto Man fled the lab over a misunderstanding. After some time, the evil Dr. Albert Wily found him in a state of disrepair and mended him, upgrading his combat systems in the process. Under the alias Break Man, he put these new weapons to use in an attempt to stop Mega Man in Mega Man 3. Despite these initial confrontations, he stopped helping Dr. Wily out during the events of the fourth game, when Wily kidnapped a young girl to blackmail her father. Proto Man saved the girl, which allowed his "little brother" of sorts to stop Wily. After that, Proto Man took a neutral approach to the conflicts started by the bat-haired maniac, only interfering when he felt it was absolutely necessary. Proto Man is often seen wearing his trademark black shades and a slick yellow scarf, and he almost always hides his brown hair under his helmet. He also is known to whistle to announce his arrival before he shows up. He prefers more mysterious clothing while dressing casually, such as trenchcoats and slacks. These facets of his character work collectively to uphold the aura of coolness he continually projects. He feels conflicted in regards to the ongoing war between Dr. Light and Dr. Wily; one is to thank for giving him life and the other is responsible for saving it, yet the two are constantly at odds with each other. Proto Man enjoys his life of solitude, and consequently seldom keeps in contact with those concerned about him. But no matter what happens, he always looks out for Mega Man; after all, isn't that his duty as the older brother?
  3. Because Nintendo must mean SUPERKIDDY FUNTIMES YAY automatically and all second-party devs that they own must make their games adhere to some SUPERKIDDY FUNTIME policies automatically to be under Nintendo's wing. Totally. Except said policies don't actually exist. Nice slippery slope there, Brush, but it appears you've slipped down it yourself. The fact that Nintendo long ago moved away from the kiddy image is one thing. Add on how Atlus has been able to get their games on Nintendo consoles when they choose to with (very minor) alterations for several years now (several SMT games were on DS and we did just get SMTIV on 3DS), and with Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei on the way... Pretty sure if Atlus was bought by Nintendo, it would remain business as usual.
  4. I guess you could say his track made a splash and that how awesome it is is certainly not a work of fiction
  5. Damn that's a lot. I could use some of those just to GET to Level 5 XD
  6. i've experienced absolutely none of this at the GS i go to seriously i guess that it just depends on the store and the people who work there seriously, never been pressured into a sale, never been pressured into getting PowerUp Rewards (which i don't have an issue admitting I have, because hey, free stuff), never been pressured into buying used over new... really, they just let me do what they should let me do. go in, buy a game, leave. no hassle. then again, i've proven to them time & again that i'm not some moron and am actually far more knowledgeable on current gaming goings-on than they are, so that might be part of it.
  7. without gamestop we wouldn't have this picture or at least not with a gamestop price tag on it
  8. I've heard of them doing that, but I've never seen it happen at the store I go to. And I've bought many new games there; the copies I got were still sealed, everything was as it should be inside, nothing was missing.
  9. I don't get it either, actually. I mean yeah, they do lowball you on trade-ins, but that's why you should probably, you know, keep the games. I mean, I've had no issues getting new games from there, and I've found some gems that people DID trade-in, so it's not all that bad. I've heard rumors of things they do to new games and shit, but not once have I experienced that myself. I think it comes down to a mix of "haters gonna hate" and hivemind mentality. Some people see others hating on GS, decide to join in (thinking it'll score them some points with the initial haters), and it snowballs from there, as these things tend to do.
  10. i hear there's a track about some super manly bros
  11. not excited for Zelda: A Link Between Worlds? Cause that's slated for a November release. EDIT: Other news I saw that wasn't posted here. This is Wan, the first Avatar. He's voiced by Steven Yeun, known for his role as Glenn on The Walking Dead. Source
  12. boomp http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/morning-spoilers-with-red.102969/ Terraria 1.2 update news
  13. got gifted Castle Crashers Fez Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe Bastion (with soundtrack!) and got myself Half Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy (had the original on PSP, so fun so good so funny) Castle Crashers DLC
  14. i see what you most likely unintentionally did there
  15. 30 minutes to an hour... that makes sense but you can't get ALL of the cards yourself, you need to trade so i'll still need help with that
  16. I could use some for Universe Sandbox or Dungeons of Dredmor, just so I can get a badge, get to level 5, and get cards for voting.
  17. i think that's known as "Let Me Know The Truth" and it looks like RiverSound has claimed it :/
  18. you realize when you greet halt on irc you're going to have to say HI MOM now, right?
  19. i was gonna make a thread for both of them but sixto made a thread before i could
  20. no no no no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i mean happy birthday halt
  21. SoS was just Symphonia and Phantasia there's more Tales of than just those two
  22. I dunno... X seems to be lookin' quite nice I think for a title this early in the Wii U's life span... It shows that it can easily reach the levels of Ni no Kuni, and beyond, once devs get a bit more familiar with the hardware. also your link leads to an ACCESS DENIED page, fyi edit: here have a pikmin 3 shot too
