Epilogues

Another new epilogue has been posted!

In other news I have been very busy for the last two weeks and am now extremely tired. Having hibernated for about two days …… I’m still bushed. Lemme tell you: staying up all night and all morning for a few days straight to get work done ….. NOT FUN. At all.

We’re back!

Of course we never really left …..

April Fools, everyone! Hope you liked this year’s project. Alot of work actually went into making it happen. Oh, yes…. we weren’t actually hacked by the fictitious enemies I created in my stories. But a big round of applause for anyone actually fooled.

While I did the lion’s share of the work, I’d like to recognise Raijin for creating the walkthrough and for posting in the forum. And Gren helped make some of the bios. Like …. back in ’04. Good times. Goooooooood times.

Series 6 Begins!

We’ve been working on this behind the scenes for quite some time and now …. the wait is over! Series 6 has begun!

The series kicks off with Magnet’s Kin and Tonic. A novella which changed the ‘Maniacs world forever. Really, it does!

Like all prior series, Series 5 has been archived.

Design a Villain Contest OVER!

As of two days ago in fact. A big thanks to all who’ve entered. We’re going through the entries and deciding who the winner will be as I type. It’s actually a pretty good turnout. A few really good ideas have been presented. Of course, there can only be ONE winner.

No ACTUAL content this week …. which is a record for me isn’t it? Ah, well …. busy, busy, busy, I am. I’ve been spending alot of time fixing some coding issues from the last update as well as waging a secret war against damned spambots.

No Update ….. Sort of ….

Well, there’s sort of been an update ….. I’ve been fixing alot of the back-end code stuff. Hopefully those with slower modems will notice a difference….

Of, and be sure to visit the forums. And to design a villain for the Design a Villain contest.

Feb 11th Update: Decided to re-code the entire site in XHTML. I figured this would be fast with my HTML prog, but ….. naturally trhere were bugs. ALOTTA bugs. SHOULD have fixed ’em all by now, though. An, hopefully …. the site will run alot faster now. And if it doesn’t, then …. I’ll just stab myself in the leg …. or something.

Rockman: Gold Empire info and review

Here’s an update long in coming! WAY back when I was helping Heat run Sprites INC a dude named Tommy Lee gave me a copy of Rockman Gold Empire complete with manga scans. And I promptly ….. forgot about it. Completely.

Well, now that oversight has been rectified! I’ve played through Rockman Gold Empire a bit and have written a review / article on the game. Rockman: GE is a Taiwanese-exclusive game like Rockman Strategy, only not by the same people. It’s alot less rare than RMS, but I still haven’t seen any information on it in the english-speaking Megaman community, making this a first!

So, thanks, Tommy Lee! Sorry for taking so long.

Also, you may have noticed my smart-ass “Ads go here” banners have been replaced by actual ads. Well, what can I say? Ads were always in the works. HOWEVER, unlike ads of the past, THESE ads actually give money to ME. Not Nyne, Classic Gaming, Zelda U, Geocities, or anyone else. So click! And support the Mechanical Maniacs!

Also rememeber to submit an entry for our Design a Villain contest! The grand prize is an appearance in ‘Maniacs epilogues as well as a figureine made of the villain you design!

Needle’s cosplay

Here’s something that’s taken a while to find time to do….

Needle’s cosplay section has been updated to include last year’s costumes. Odille (or an anime version of Swan Lake) and Ashura (from RGVeda) are now in her section. I’ve also included some reference pictures to show what she’s looking at when making these costumes.

Forum Issues

Just to make an announcement.

We know there are issues with the forum. We’re bugging the server to fix them. This is all we can do about it. Until it’s solved, just bear with it.

That is all.
