I think the above image really says it all. After a two year wait, and marking the old thing as “discontinued”, it’s time to wrap it up. And, naturally, if you want a job done … you just gotta do it yourself.
It’s time to very quickly wrap up Paradox Play and the Mechanical Maniacs Moments! Each week I’ll post another ‘Moment to continue the ending.

Oh, yes …. it is true. The horror ….. is coming …. soon.
More news on ‘Maniacs Moments: Hard says he’s too busy to make ’em (which really is very busy; he’s dedicated to them) so ….. don’t expect an update soon.

Here’s something I’ve received a request or two (or one) about – the Design a Villain contest!
I have to admit ….. I’ve been negligent on announcing things on this. I thought I already did announce it, but …. no.
So, a winner has been decided upon! And the winner is ….
A SECRET!!
Yes, that’s right. You’ll have to wait until Wanted comes out to discover who the winner actually is. However, the winner has been contacted and knows he/she won. Rich is still working on the prize. So, if you weren’t contacted, you didn’t win, but I thank you for participating.
What is up, however, is all the entries for the contest. So you can browse all the loathsome villains made for the contest.
In other news ….. I found some old stuff while going on my incessant search for some way of recovering the first Hardman’s bio (a thorn in my side for a LONG time). Skullman’s bio has been found! (The one he did for Megaman United). He got this site started and now his bio is up on the special thanks page. I also found the ORIGINAL bio for Topman, who was the webmaster here very briefly before I took over. Sadly I didn’t find Hardman’s bio.
The archive of the first layout has been updated with the original files I found on a CD (which had Top’s bio). The one on the site was a reconstruction I made base don my memory….. this is MUCH closer to the truth! Although I did change it to be more of a medium from where the site first started but before I fully took over and added a background image and took off the background MIDIs. Newbies take note: there is hope for you. Just look how much better I got at this. Don’t get discouraged.
Some (one) person has asked about ‘Maniacs Moments not being updated. The answer is simple. Hard hasn’t sent me any new ones. Send Hard some fan mail to get him motivated. But, unlike me, Hard has a life so unimportant things like jobs and girls get in the way of his work. Yeah, I know ….. for shame.

Yes, I am! After a month of being way too busy to update I’m announcing my triumphant return to active duty!
Of course I don’t actually have anything to update today …. except for the newest Mechanical Maniacs Moment …. but I am announcing I am back.
In addition I’m announcing that I’m helping to get the Sinister Six some updates. They’ve been in a real rut, so I’m filling in on posting some of Iceman’s old epilogues. Watch for them! This … I command!

Hardman’s back with more ‘Maniacs Moments so that brings out contest to anend. If he ever gets backlogged again, though I’ll bring the contest back. Thanks you to all who participated!
More wallpapers have been put up. These ones finish off the set of wallpapers for each member of the team!
I’ve also added some nifty buttons to the Nuts and Bolts section to give it some life.

An EPILOGUE update? By LENNON!?
It’s TRUE! In a bold move he’s actually continuing his stories! They are hurtling towards the end of his story arc. Hurtling slowly, but steadily. Read it NOW!
Also, in a move that will not be repeated EVER, Needlegal has changed her name from KittyKat to Psycho Magnet. KittyKat being her moniker when she was new and didn’t really care much about it which is used only here and Psycho being a long-held name for the last …. three or so years which she uses everywhere. Every single reference to this has been updated (thank YOU, Adobe GoLive).
During updates some files (notable, three epilogues) were lost ….. well, they were found and restored to the site. Yay. Go me.
Also in ep news, due to Classi’s request her epilogue has been taken down until part two is finished. Let’s hope it’s soon! (it was a good story). Everyone go bug her! (sarcasm, people)
The winner of this week’s ‘Maniacs’ Moments contest is …. Hardman!? Yes, well, he wanted to show a “preview” of where the ‘Maniacs are headed. Keep on sending your submissions! There’s actually …. not too many …..

I’ve been REALLY busy with my comic and REALLY got into watching an anime called Bleach. But I still got time to update a bit with some user submission stuff!
Okay, so …. first up: miscellaneous images have been uploaded. Woo hoo. I love getting images so keep sendin’ ’em.
Real Life Wilys sees an update. Wow. That’s a section I never – EVER expect an update from.
The Pirate Sprite Sheets sees a tiny update. Zan Sidera submitted some sprites of the tree guy and the red hero guy from Rockman DX3, so those sprites have been added in. Originally for Sprites INC too, but I whined about it a whole bunch (it’s been a bad year or so) and Ace, being the gentleman that he is, let me have the game for my own coverage (since I have already covered it). So Zan let me put these up as they were originally for S. INC. So, thanks guys.
And this week’s winner of the ‘Maniacs Moments contest – Kayorei! Take a bow! Remember: Each week there’ll be a new winner so keep on submitting! It could be YOU!

Wow, I haven’t had an update like this in AGES!
First off the next winner of the ‘Maniacs Moments contest is Kaos! Congrats. PR references for teh win.
Next up is an all new article.Rocman X VS Thunder Blast Man. Not only have I compared both games, but I actually *won* Rocman X and have gone into extreme detail on the ending.
The Gauntlet Sprites page has been updated with an all-new sprite picture featuring every single Megaman character (that has an official sprite) to date! It was *very* tough and annoying to make, but now I can update it easily should I choose to do so.
The Wallpapers section also has a big update. That’s one section I don’t update too often. This time from tiny project I recently finished up.

First off …. Happy Canada day to all the Canucks out there!
Secondly, the first winner of our ‘Maniacs Moments contest is Ace Spark of Sprites INC! Congrats on his really amazing custom sprites! Keep on submitting your own entries – this contest is ongoing! There’s no limit on how many times you can submit to the contest!
Also, more screens from the Megaman Cell Phone games have been added. Including one from a Christmas version of Kobun Flies. The mystery of the bigger NES screenshots has also been solved – it’s just a better version of the game O_o. No lie. There’s a 100K version and a 256K version.
Quint, of Sprites INC also informs me that the “Megaman Mania” screens with boarders use something called “GP Player”, so that bit of info has been added to the Misc. Classic Mysteries article.

Hardman’s having a TON of real life troubles so he can’t make ‘Maniacs Moments. It really sucks and all my support goes out to the big guy. Let’s all wish him the very best!
As for the ‘Moments, I’ve decided to turn it into a bit of a contest until Hardman’s return. See the ‘Maniacs Moments page for details!
