The Unnamed been updated again with chapter 10. The story’s heating up in this chapter, but I won’t give anything away here.
I’m afraid I haven’t been too fair to Hard’s sprite comic so I put up two this time to make up for the missed time last week. Expect two more come thursday.

Well, pre-holiday work has piled up on me so much so that I couldn’t even update sprite comics.
Well, now I’m taking a few moments of my time to prepare a new update! And this one features another chapter of The Unnamed, the runaway hit that all five people who read it love to death!
And I also remind you that My Art Contest ends tomorrow! I’ve received more submissions that I figured I’d get ….. and also some from people who don’t know me personally OR visit my forum! And to those people I say thanks. It’ll be tough to come up with a winner since there’s more than just two worthy entries! So, if any of you are still itchin’ to get into the const, don’t wait another day longer! For on the first of November it ends! And after that you’ll all get to see the submissions.

Megaman 3 Mysteries has had YET ANOTHER update. This one is yet another thing I sadly missed. More unused Protoman sprites uncover the answers to a deeper mystery that was bugging me for quite some time. Check it out.
The Sprites Section and “Other Art” Gallery has been updated again with more fan art and fan sprite comics. My sprite gallery is also updated with more fan submission that I ….. forgot to post for a while now. Sorry.
Also, The Unnamed has been updated with Chapter 8, thusly evening out the numbers.
Now, you might have noticed a bunch of flags replacing the broken link to “Best viewed with Emerald Eye”. Yes, not people can use the power of Bablefish to view this page in any language they want! Did I do this so foreign visitors might enjoy the page? Nah (since when can Bablefish translate a page?), I did it for the sheer novelty of having such a feature. And if you have to ask why I have an english-to-english translation of the page …… you simply haven’t visited enough of the page yet.

Wow, a monster update this week!
Megaman 3 Mysteries has been a big success! So big in fact, that I might very well expand that sort of coverage to all the games. Featuring some info that you know …. and some you might not. But, thanks to Heat of Sprites INC I have found something I had previously overlooked! What appears to be an entire cityscape … possible for an alternate ending! He’s also identifies Unknown sound effect 3 as the sound when the nut and bolts come together (as seen in Top’s level). Thanks, Heat!
The Sprites Section and “Other Art” Gallery has been updated with more fan-submitted sprites and pictures!
The bios also have new pictures drawn by yours truly depicting the current version of the Megaman 3 Team (including Needlegal and Spark Chan)! The full pictures can be seen in my art gallery.
And, finally, The Unnamed has been updated once more with two more chapters. I’ve been neglecting this project much too long and I want to get it out of the way! So, hopefully …. I can do that.
And that’s the update for today, folks. Be sure to vote for me in the next Megaman Page Idol!

“Same Shadow Time” …… yeah, well it didn’t turn out that way. Oh, well. I make up for it in UPDATES. And what big updates we have today.
First off, yet another (short) chapter of The Unnamed is up for reading.
Next, the Chinese Games article in the misc. section has screen shots for Rockman Gold Empire. It’s one of the games Capcom licensed (not a pirate) …. doesn’t make it good.
The Cell phone games have also been updated. I think I might actually have found one for you guys to download and play! Of course the page was in Japanese, so I dunno. Someone wanna try it out and let me know?
There’s some new art in the misc. Image gallery by Kindlewoman and an official picture of Pinbot that I forgot to put up earlier.
Annnnnd there’s been an update in the sprites section! We have some custom sprites of Hardman.EXE by our very own Hardman as well as sprites Auto ripped from one of the Chinese games! Rockman is super deformed and they actually look quite nice, so it’s worth the two seconds it takes to look at them. Both have handy new tanks next to them for easy finding.
Finally, I’ve put up a new and, I’m sure, long awaited article: an article on Megaman 3 for Tiger Handheld Electronics! It was only a matter of time before the Megaman 3 team covered this aspect of Megaman 3 as well. And if you think it’s a straight copy of Joey’s article, you’re mistaken. I now HAVE this game in my possession! Meaning I can write up something original!

Yo, all. Gauntlet here again.
Things have been quite busy for me lately, but I found a bit of time to update. A new epilogue has been posted – once again by Geminiman! Belselk’s Challenge. It’s very action-packed in the usual Gemini way!
Also, I’ll put ….. whatever crap I can think of in place of the ‘Maniacs Moments until some new ones are made.

Been a little while.
The Unnamed now has Chapter One up for readin’! Everyone had such nice things to say about the prologue so hopefully Chap 1 meets expectations as well. And since Chapter one really isn’t anything on it’s own I released Chapter two as well.
Also I’ve uploaded a BUNCH of sketches from my sketchbook into my image gallery. They’re all uncoloured except for a “thank you for 30,000 unique hits” image ala the Japanese pages. Oh, yes …. we have broken 300,000 unique hits! over 700,000 if you count multiple visits!
Well, that’s all for now, guys.

Here’s a project I’ve been working on for quite some time now – the Mechanical Maniacs Mini-Novel: The Unnamed! Ice was pretty driven to write Ice VS Red at one point and that, coupled with my own desire to write more than epilogues and comic books, prompted me to start work on my own mini-novel. The Prologue is now up for viewing.

I think I’ll go with old ‘Maniacs Moments for a couple weeks. For now anyway.
Updates for this week include an addition to the Sprite Tutorial which now covers how to use paint to recolour sprite sheets and actually capturing sprites. I must say I’m disappointed more people couldn’t figure this out for themselves. But now my tutorial covers this as well, listing a program most sprinters use to capture sprites.
Another addition is a brand new epilogue. Another by Geminiman this one is inspired by Cowboy Bebop.

Welp, here it is the 4th anniversary of the site! Uh …… well, I WAS gonna premier a spectacular new 8-bit layout, buuuut ……. well, php is tougher than I thought. So, I’m gonna have to rethink things a bit before trying again. Ugh ……. so frustrating.
Anyhoo, the eagerly anticipated conclusion to Geminiman’s epilogue awaits you right here.
I wish I could do a bigger update, but recovering all those lost sprite sheets for Sprites INC kept me busy. In fact ….. I just cobbled this layout apart and then back together TODAY!
So, until another year goes by, we are ….. the Mechanical Maniacs!
