    Next time I hang out with my good friends, the guys who wrote it, I'll ask them

    The Will of One actually contains a tiny bit of Flash Man's theme, or something very similar to it

    Go to 0:25 and start singing "through the glass 20 stories high and I have watched this city burn" to yourself
    It matches up

    God the MM2 soundtrack is so good.

    It is one of the very few video game soundtracks I listen to for a game I haven't played.

    i might hear a faint resemblance?

    Yeah, that's all you would hear. The only thing they took straight from the games are the death sounds, and those are only on Hope Rides Alone on the Act I vinyl.

    was there anything on the Fade to Phil version of Due Vendetta? It's longer and has some really weird sounds.

    If the last week has taught me anything, it's that the Megaman "Canon" gets exponentially better the further it's removed from the original Videogames.

    Is that by the guy who does American Barbarian? Because it looks really similar.

    there'd be no captain america, no x-men, no fantastic four, no fourth world, none of those without him

    i think he's as highly rated as he is deservedly

    it is almost impossible to overrate Kirby

    oh, he deserves tons of accolades

    the most, possibly

    but I think it's important to note that he also went a little off the rails in later years

    and when he wrote, he wrote essentially the same thing over and over

    everyone's flawed

    i just think his strengths greatly outbalance his weak points, which are there

    I am thrilled beyond thrills that this will *not* be what The Film looks like
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ2NA--PFbE&feature=player_embedded
    And it stresses just how important it is that they chose to film Act II instead, as it allows them the freedom to NOT dress up some dude in crappy looking armor, have *good* looking props and tell a good story.

    presumably if they DID do act I mega man's costume would just be like

    the helmet, blue leather jacket, and jeans

    Act I tends to be represented by this sort of Industrial Wild West look

    There's a poster in the Act I vinyl of Mega and Proto
    Mega, I think, is rocking a duster and Proto has the Eastwood-style serape (like he does in the live shows)

  • Options
    AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    the CD and back/inside of the CD cover for Act I also show what they look like

    duster and serape is indeed what they wear
