Hello, everyone. Once again, here's your friendly neighborhood DZ with a small community update. Or maybe not so small after all...

Since the news are pulled from the forum, you might be reading this from inside the forum itself; do me a small favor, and please browse to the actual front page.

Notice anything different? No? Then make sure your browser can load Flash components, RPM is whitelisted in any ad-blocking software you might be using, your speakers are turned on, and in a relatively high volume, and reload the page.

NOW tell me if you notice anything different. :P

Since by now you've probably already noticed (or in case you haven't), thanks to our community member Protodude we managed to get in contact with Lucas Gilbertson, the voice behind Zero in the three latest entries to the MegaMan X series (those being Command Mission, X8 and Maverick Hunter X), and he nicely agreed to record for us some small introductions for the home page of our site (he's a goddamn swell guy like that). He sent me a huge recording containing many voice clips, of which I picked the best three. One of the three is played randomly each time you load the front page, so see if you can catch them all! :)

Fight, RPM! Fight, Lucas! Fight Zero! For everlasting peace!

He really is.

I don't think we will ever get this close to someone involved in Mega Man games again.

What Acid says, but this makes RPM's Megaman treasury quite impressive:

- Inafune's signature on a Green Biker Dude picture
- Zero's voice asking what we're fighting for

what's next, relic hunters?

I'd like to thank Lucas as well

Nope, we will enslave Capcom and make Vixy to the president of the company.  :V
He,he...
Sadly, that will happen only if Christmas and Easter falls on the same day.

I think PB already tried that with the lotto thing, except not in Japan and he either didn't win or he's paved his doghouse with jacuzzis made of gold designed by Steve Jobs.

No need to reload the page.

Thing about Adblock Plus: it allows you to bring up a list of all blockable items on the page... with their URLs.

So when we see this:


http://www.rockmanpm.com/p/lucasintro/lucas1.mp3


it shouldn't take much brains to figure out that the other two are:

http://www.rockmanpm.com/p/lucasintro/lucas2.mp3
http://www.rockmanpm.com/p/lucasintro/lucas3.mp3


And yes, they are awesome.

Megaman X9 maybe? >_>

Really though, this is pretty cool actually. Been a while since something this cool has happened.

I GUESS I'll postpone the destruction of RPM for another year or so.  8D

[spoiler]I fight for my friends.[/spoiler]

Please, do take a couple of lessons in awesomeness from Zero.

-------

Omega...after fighting with another one of myself, I finally understood.  What kind of battles I have been fighting up to now.  What my hesitation was up to now.  Now I can say.  My power isn't meant for destruction.  It exists to protect with my friend those he believes in! Tei! Ha! Tou!  Begone!  My nightmare!

------------------------------

So be it... But that's why we are the best partners... I'll do what
you want... Rest for a while. I will handle it, you can count on me. I
won't stop! When an enemy appears... I'll terminate it...


------------------------------

I made a promise to a friend I intend to keep. To someone who
believed harmony between human and Reploid as possible. I trust that
friend. And I trust the humans that friend trusts...

------------------------------

I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself
a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in.
I won't hesitate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will
destroy it!

Even though it's badass, it might have the tendancy to annoy visitors a bit while browsing, so, put it in some sort of hidden link and let the person find that.. hehe.

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

Okay, we've got Keiji's signature on GBD art, and we've got "Zero" introducing the site.

Tell you what, if we could X's character designer to draw up something (like maybe a site logo), we'd be swimming in stuff.

Most supported Rockman site since it's estimated launch? that should be put up there somewhere. I'm still worried that visitors may get annoyed by repitition so a hidden link in the GBD art should be win.
