Grey Ghost

Whoa

Grey Ghost

Uh spoilers about playable characters I guess

"There's a third playable character as well, but Capcom is keeping the hero's identity a secret as of press time"

Antimatter

If you can't read the text, story and playable character spoilers

Mega Man and Protoman are starting characters, there is a third playable character that hasn't been revealed yet. They're trying to find machine parts to make a vaccine to the disease "Robofluenza", which makes robots go out of control.

oh, thanks GG

Grey Ghost

Should I spoiler that?

Dichotomy

the third playable character is the goat headed robot to the left of the poster

Grey Ghost

All I want to know is if the Night will or will not be Lit Up

Antimatter

I don't know, GG
I'm just doing it out of courtesy in case there's people who don't want spoilers

Dichotomy

you're probably not gonna find out for a while, it's likely they'll Keep Quiet on most of the game's details

Grey Ghost

Spoiler'd

If anyone were to leak too much I'm sure they'd set The Hounds on him

Dichotomy

when do you think this'll be out, by The Fall of 2010?

Randall_Flagg

well, a lot of info about the game seems to be Breaking Out right now, so we'll know soon enough

I can't imagine these take very long to make at all, but then we don't know how far along they are.

Anyone know how long the dev cycle was on MM9?

Dichotomy

dammit Speed you didn't get the joke and now there's an Intermission in our Act II names

Grey Ghost

Well done, all

Grey Ghost

Big version of that Nintendo Power scan

Terrendos

I can only hope the third playable character is Joe. Or (actually possible) Dr. Light.

Grey Ghost

Yessss someone at the station is playing Father of Death

SightTDW

Got my Father of Death 7" in today. Very nice looking, the back has chunk of the lyrics written out as a letter to Emily. Definitely worth the $6. Oh, and it shipped with a free sticker with their logo from the first album. Good times to be had.

If only I still had a functioning turntable around...

Dichotomy

I am confused and aroused

Grey Ghost

Cold Salmon and Hatred

Dichotomy

Oh

I guess this is probably it

Grey Ghost

Sorry guys

Antimatter

well hey, I introduced one of my friends to the Protomen. He was sold by the first forty seconds of The Will Of One. He was doubly sold by Hope riides alooOOOOooooone!
in other news, my mp3 player is now treated by my computer as a USB drive, and won't sync Acts I or II to it.

Doobh

I'm hoping Act III has more hard rocking like Act I did

#pipe

Act II is better than Act I in basically every way

zanmatto

It really is. It'd be pretty neat if Act III was more heavy-metal than sixties, though

Act II was amazing and all, but I'd like to see what they can do with a heavier sound now, as compared to back then.

Doobh

eh

I skip over most Act II songs, never really in the mood for them

lot of "intermission" songs or ones that don't really stand out, for me

Light up the Night and The Hounds are my most played from act II

but I keep coming back to pretty much all of Act I

Protomen is eighties

But god, men dressing up as the Beatles dressing up as robots would be so hilarious

Speed Racer

I will agree that Act II has a lot more, I don't wanna say filler, but more songs that I don't listen to outside of when I listen to the whole album. I'm never gonna cue up The State Vs. Thomas Light, or Give Us the Rope, or Here Comes the Arm. On the other hand, I listen to the songs from Act I on an individual basis all the time. The only one of them that I skip with any kind of regularity is Funeral For a Son, and that's just because I tend not to like instrumentals very much.

#pipe

CAUSE I MADE THE MAN WHO LAID HIS HAAAAANDS ON YOU

AND I WOULD TEAR HIM DOWN BUT I FEEL LIKE A DEAD MAN

WHAT CAN A DEAD MAN DO?

Grey Ghost

I cue up State vs. Thomas Light all the time, mostly for that very thing pipe just posted

And cause the piano fills in the first part are pretty

ASimPerson

I can listen to The Good Doctor all day.

They've waited so long for this day
