MM Mysteries!

Happy New year, all!

A bit more has been added to Megaman Mysteries courtesy of NESBoy. Namely stuff concerning the MM1 Dr. Light sprites, Megaman 1 (Gameboy), a a bit more for Wily Wars; all worth checking out.

More things have been added to the Secret page (for those who have puzzled it out).

A glitch which turned the “‘” into “?” has been sorted out. Thanks to Shadowstrike for pointing out that glitch.

And that’s it for this week and this year! See you all next year!

More MM3 Mysteries?

I didn’t think there could possibly be more to say about Megaman 3, but I was wrong. There’s still some minutia to go over! A bit of the article was re-written as well as sadding more about unused stuff and various tidbits of factual knowledge gleamed from the rom.

Geez, if only the rest of the series was this interesting to go over! Then, maybe, more would get done.

Hardman’s ‘Maniacs Moments are now up to 150! Of course the zip he gave me ends at 151, soooo …. well, hope he cobbles up some more!

Also redid the banner a bit to reflect the festive occasion! Oh, yes …. very festive indeed!

Cosplay Section!

Welp, here’s a section long in coming. Find out exactly why Needlegal chose her name in her very own cosplay section!

Alright, so not one of those costumes is Megaman. I don’t care.

And, Yes …. this means Needle is an even bigger nerd than I. For I would never cosplay at all.

And, for those who care, no this doesn’t mean I am less mysterious …. while I can keep silent Needlegal can be as forthcoming as she likes. About her own information anyways. lol. She respects my privacy.

Oh yeah, I also changed the featured links up at top there. Those last ones were up since forever and a day.

TheMechanicalManiacs.com!! Moving from PMM! Oh and Rockman Strategy.

Alright. Well, Nyne (of Planet Megaman) has decided to buy his own server (at which PMM will be hosted soon enough) and so I’m jumping the PMM ship and climbing aboard Nyne’s Megaman Community project (as is the Sinister Six, by the way). Although we’ll be on the same physical server, the site will no longer be under Planet Megaman as a sub-hosted site. Nyne’s deal is totally and completely separate from Planet Megaman, although he is a staff member there. Our destiny will be our own!

*huttah!*

To further this end I have done what I should have done a LONG time ago – purchased a .com redirect. You can now, and forever more, reach us at …..

www.TheMechanicalManiacs.com!

Please, update all bookmarks and links.

Right now the .com redirect doesn’t function 100% properly (in that it acts like our free .cjb.net redirect, although it does still point to us). This is because we’re still just a sub-hosted site. Once we’re on our own it’ll work great.

In regards to PMM, I have decided to leave as a staff member. I don’t want to cause trouble for them or for myself so, to put it simply, it’s due to artistic differences and I’ll leave it at that. Good luck, Planet Megaman! Fight for everlasting peace!

Oh, and that Rockman Strategy game has more sprites. This time of half the classic robot masters featured in the game (I know some have been waiting for this)! I’ve also added some new fun facts pertaining to the game as well as large, high quality, scans of the front and back of the box. Also, the “Chinese Games” article is now, more accurately, called the “Asian games” article. The article itself has been reworked slightly, but there’s really no new information.

Epilogue! Quizzes!

What? A new epilogue up? Do I even make those anymore?

Well, I haven’t made one, but Spark Chan has! Part one of her origin story has been uploaded and is ready to go!

Also, the Quizzes have all been fixed. Not the images are hosted under Photobucket, which I believe to be MUCH more stable than Planet-Megaman will EVER be. May they never need fixing again! Furthermore, the links to the Quizzes have been moved to the Nuts and Bolts section. For further cleanup, the Megaman Battle Network Guide link has been removed and can only be found in the Guides section now. So take those quizzes and read that guide!

Additionally, the site is going up and down due to PMM’s attempt at a site restoration. So, please be patient with that.

New Download! New Secret Page Hint!

There’s a new download in the downloads section. An episode of Captain N! The one based off Megaman 3, of course. Head on over and pick it up…… I doubt it’ll be there forever.

Just …. don’t base your opinion of the series only on that episode.

Oh, and due to popular demand I’ve introduced a new hint for the secret page! Maybe now at least one person can figure it out.

More news of PMM’s fate!

No, no new content. This is a stupid Geocities site. I forgot how ghetto the upload system was on Geocities.

Anyways, good news bad news.

Good news: We have space!

Bad news: We don’t have it totally set up yet (like with a control panel or things like that). So, even though I would LIKE to upload everything all at once and announce the dramatic return of the Mechanical Maniacs …… this is not to be.

No, no clue when that’s going to happen either. The account was set up a while ago and the powers-that-be still aren’t finished. Bah.

Also, we have a new redirect account set up in case Lars doesn’t get back to us. http://www.planet-megaman.org/ Nothing is there yet though. It’s not completely set up yet either. So, don’t go checking it out yet.

No, it’s not the same. Not the same at all!

Well, we’re still hopeful about getting our beloved .com account back. Damn it ….. most of my hits come from search engine referrals!
*toilet flushing sound heard in the background*

On the plus side a recent (and totally unrelated) hacker scare made us backup everything on PMM a few weeks before the ZU …… unpleasantness. . Now, there was every indication the content was never in danger of being lost …… you never know when it comes to PMM. Well, we have a backup in any case.

I, of course, always have a backup of my own site on my HD so the Mechanical Maniacs will recover the DAY I have FTP access. You betcha.

In other news …… wow. This little page mentioned on MMN. AND it destroyed my bandwidth. This isn’t even a bandwidth-heavy site. I didn’t expect that.

Man alive!

We have ….. men alive down here!

So, what is this latest site outage due to? Survey says …… Lars of Zelda U “forgot” to tell us he’s no longer paying our bill! So the server yanked our site out from under us.

To get things running Zero X Phoenix paid half of the $200 due on the site. It SHOULD have been back the very next day, but ….. NOT! It looks like they have trouble with the .com account.

Because that too is in Lars’ name.

The site itself SHOULD still have all it’s content. Nevertheless we have backups (pretty recent ones too). However, WHEN everything gets straightened out ….. only God knows.

In the meantime, check THIS site for all the up-to-date PMM news!

Not The Unnamed

With The Unnamed finished, another section gets an update!

The rogues gallery gets updated with relevant information and a nice, spiffier visual appearance! The contacting section also got a bit of a visual makeover and now looks like it belongs with the other sections in the “bios” compartment.

Unnamed, Image Gallery

The Unnamed has been updated with chapter 11!

You may have noticed Planet Megaman was hacked. Well …. it seems allot of sites have been hacked, all of them relating to video gaming in some way. Of all of these, I was the first guy back. But let’s send some support to PMM and it’s sub sites, the Sinister Six, Sprites INC, MM AU, and Plug-In!

Also got some nice bits of gift art from Quickman …. including a truly frightening Cap N Shadowman sketch! Gives me goosebumps……
