I picked up the D-Arts Rock man figure from my local hobby shop the other day. Like the D-Arts X and Zero (MK-2) it's very detailed and has some nice accessories (extra hands, faces, buster shot effects in this case) but it's easily the most disappointing of the series that I own so far. D-Arts rock man feels like it's made of very cheap plastic that just has no weight to it at all unlike Zero (Mk2) and X who have some heft to them. Also the potability isn't nearly as impressive, Rock man can't assume a neutral stance at all, and his arm and foot poseability is very limited. The only positive to this is his joints are well covered keeping his sculpt nice and smooth.

The other positive of this pack is that he comes with a possible rush and a met (the met doesn't pose at all but you can remove it's helmet.) Rush is a surprisingly good figure with leg,head and tail poseability, however you can't move his legs to the left or right just forward and backward although considering him being an accessory I can kinda forgive that. Like Rock Man both accessories are well sculpted and true to their source material.

All in all I get the feeling the limited poseability and cheap feeling plastic on rock man is a result of the accessories in order to keep costs down, it's easily the worst D-Arts Rock Man figure so far (or at least the ones I own). Oddly I don't regret buying it, It's nice to have a rock man figure on my shelf along side my MMX ones but I admit I expected more. $:\$

Going through the Legacy of Kain series again. After all these years Blood Omen is still a very enjoyable title.

The confirmation email says it will take 4-5 days to get all the numbers out. So if you haven't gotten yours yet you should soon.*shrugs*

The forward option on Kirby's cutter looks like it would be really useful for taking enemies by surprise.

I think nature hates me or something I'm allergic to way to many things. Allergies include pollen, any animal with fur, dust, certain sea foods, flour (this is problematic as I work in a bakery). Not sure what I did in my last life but I'm sorry. X_x

Mucous production in overdrive. Are you seeking treatment for it, or waiting it out? If the latter, drink lots of water and take lots of hot, steamy showers, and drink lots of hot tea to inhale the hot steam, and eat lots of hot soup with hot steam. Inhaling hot steam will help loosen that phlegm up so you can cough it up easier.

One can recover from bronchitis without treatment, as I've done it a few times. It just takes longer.

Been waiting it out yeah, hot drinks have been a blessing and I've been taking lots of congestion relief medication. Only real issue has been I've had to keep working for the first two weeks of it before the coughing fits got so bad they started sending me home. Kinda eh about losing hours at work but It's better to get well then make it worse. Either way it kinda feels like the whole thing is on the way out now luckily (I have two days off to kick this to curb).

Oh I tried the inhaling steam it worked really well, thanks.

It really is, well unless the VITA became worth buying since I stopped paying attention to it?

Into week three of my bronchitis and I'm tired of coughing 24/7, how can the human body contain so much phlegm?!

This statement is more funny to me than it should be since I know you.

While most of us like Megaman and it's pretty much the reason we came to this forum in the first place right now we just don't really have lasting discussions about it as of late due to obvious reasons. As for Mighty No. 9 while it is something that the majority of us are interested in the discussion about that has died down since Mr. Inafune, Comcept and the rest of the awesome people working on this game are working hard on it and there haven't been many updates since the Kickstarter ended.

It's also apparent that when a new member shows up because they want to talk about Megaman they don't stay long since well, we don't really talk about Megaman that much anymore, besides like 3 or so members who have endless debates when someone makes a new Megaman topic.

What I'm trying to say is that if your just here to talk about Megaman you probably won't get much out of that since there isn't much to discuss, we pretty much talked about almost everything there is to talk about Megaman over the years and unless Capcom suddenly decides to make a new game, which honestly doesn't seem likely, there isn't much to talk about that hasn't been talked about and the new topics we get are usually repeat topics, or opinion topics that last way longer than they should.

That's why I recommend that instead of coming in for Megaman you should come in for the community, we're a pretty nice, though sometimes snarky, sarcastic, and slightly cynical community, except the awesome Protoman Blues and Vixy, but we also want to have fun.

You should check out places like the Gaming, Forum Games, Role Play, and Fan Creation sections since those are much more active than the Megaman sections. It's really something we should talk about to all new members and we as a community haven't been doing a very good job of that and as such people rarely stay, though there have been those who have been coming back.

That's what I advise anyway.

Fair enough, I'd like to say talking about mega man isn't the only reason I joined just what drew me to this website to begin with. Once I get past that awkward "new member" phase I'm sure I'll find my place here.

Oh, don't mind Tron's paranoia. He's just expecting a little... more... "excitement" from you, that's all.

And... welcome aboard Valkyrie. Stay safe and stick to the rules, and I promise, we won't hurt you... much.

Good to know.

An indie game called Eldritch, a 3D first person rogue like. I haven't gotten to far into it as my luck with rogue likes is...well I die a lot. It's still a lot of fun though, with surprisingly good atmosphere (mostly through sound design) despite the super deformed designs for the enemies.

Hello, it's good to meet everyone! I've lurked on this forum on and off for a little while now but decided to make an account finally, I've been a mega man fan since I was little and I look forward to chatting about the franchise with everyone.
