Neither. Because I'd never beat the game. I'd spend too much time dicking around. As it is I can hardly keep myself serious in Ravenholm because of the Gravity Gun in HL2.

I giggled.  Because this is exactly what I spend 90% of my time doing when I play Half-Life 2.  Physics!!  X3

Streets of Rage.  Mostly Streets of Rage Remake, but the original Megadrive ones as well, to a degree.

It's been far too long for me to recall any secondary effects in the Zero series. (Not to mention I sucked too bad at it to get any EX Moves/Chips. )  Never played either ZX game...  Kind of wonder if there's underwater weapon effects in the DASH series, though.  And I think there was a single underwater level in Rockman EXE Transmission or Rockman EXE WS?  Maybe not. (But why not?)

Oh, no.  I wasn't expecting any of the real video game characters to do anything important.  Other than Q*Bert, I mean.

Also, I realized this a while back, but what the [tornado fang] are Dr. ... ugh... "Eggman"... and Sonic even doing in this movie?  And Bowser, for that matter.  This movie is supposed to be about arcade game characters.  Granted, you could argue those three are "arcade game characters," the first two due to cameo roles (I think?) and the latter because of Vs. Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart GP, but... eh.

Hey all. JustAFan here, although if it's easier I guess Jaf will do.

Can I call you "Jaffa Cakes"?

Anyway, welcome to the forum!  I'd like to say "You'll find it to be a very friendly place," by you kind of already found that out already.  So uh... yeah.  Just plain welcome, I guess!

Also, a fan flipped out as she realized the new Sally looked like her OC. It was funny as hell.

I don't see the resemblance, myself...  She is cute, though. 

Also, don't clothe the Vixy.  Unless it's a cute outfit.  Then by all means, continue o/'

So...

... is Wily in the final movie?  Somewhere?  Anywhere?  Yes or no?  :B

Also, probably obvious enough, but I'll say it anyway: If you talk about the movie at-large, please put plot-relevant spoilers in spoiler tags!  Just in case.  x:

All the Robot Masters take the same amount of damage from stage enemies and such as Rock himself, as far as I'm aware.  I could be wrong, though.

Last night, I dreamt that I had judo-flipped someone and I woke up while judo-flipping my pillow.

I had a dream I was on a school bus with half the characters from Hey Arnold!.  Some kid I didn't recognize was endlessly playing a deluxe keyboard thing with drum loops and stuff.  He was really good at it, too.  He kept playing songs I actually recognized.

At one point, it sounded like he was going to play part of "Dancing Mad," Kefka's theme from Final Fantasy VI, but it ended up not being so.  My friend Doug (whom I was sitting next to) was impressed regardless.

Oddly, I didn't have much of a problem clearing the game on Hard Mode with Gutsman.  Those blocks of his made a damn good shield.  Plus, if you're really clever, you can even trap some bosses for a little while!  Cutman/Copy Cutman in particular was fun to trap.  He didn't have enough room to walk, so he could never activate his Big Cutter move.  X3

I blame Cap'n Heady.  That awesome bit of gift art he made depicted me as being very short.  I think Q-Chan just went with that for convenience sake.

And then I eventually hid my freaking way-too-big review under a Spoiler because I felt bad.  Hopefully, though, Rud will pay attention so some of the finer points of said review.

I bet I'll be the first post of Page 700.  And I bet it still won't be intentional.  

Also, my thought for the day: "How the heck did I rack up over 400 posts in the two months I've been here?!"  [tornado fang].  Seriously.  Just... plain... [tornado fang].  I haven't posted this much on a forum is years!  Hell, I'm not even sure I posted this much on the old forum!  And to think, it all started with a harsh review of an okay fan game...  X3

Try playing as Oilman some time.  On Hard Mode.  You'll go absolutely insane with frustration.

Heh, that's cute.  Well, honestly, I wanted to do something fancy with things.  Like... put them in a table with a static background while they continued to scroll along.  But that ain't happenin' with BBCode.  XD  I may have to settle for animating them together (thus slowing Joseph's walking pattern or quickening Roll's) and have the weather follow them along.

And now, Pokémon.

(click to show/hide)

Would you believe this is my first time drawing a raichu?  ... you would?  ...  oh...

Raichu is my all-time favorite Pokémon.  Being the way I am, I did a random search for "raichu" on Tumblr one day and happened to stumble across the blog of one Firefly the Raichu.  I wasn't following her at first, but after I kept seeing her updates more and more in the search results, I started getting interested.  Eventually, I decided I'd follow her and see what happened.

We're totally pals now.  :3

Recently, I noticed Firefly was actually the 25th person to start Following me on Tumblr.  I don't normally pay any attention to stuff like that, but since it was her, I wanted to do something nice.  After mulling it over a bit, I decided to draw her something.  This is what I ended up with.

Firefly has a couple of differences from other raichu that are worth noting.  Firstly and most obviously, she doesn't actually have that secondary coloration to her belly fur and has an extra fluffy chest for whatever reason.  Her "gloves" are also a bit different, being straight curves with a ring of orange between the hand and other part of the glove.  Her ears are supposed to be drawn a bit different, as well, but I decided to go the typical route. (*klunk*)

There's various problems with it and a couple things here and there I don't really like, to be honest.  I drew her at a weird angle which hides her stripes, for one.  Her tail had to be added in NeoPaint after-the-fact, for another.  And of course, those dark sunglasses almost entirely obscure the bad-ass look she's supposed to be giving the viewing audience.  But... I think it's alright, otherwise...  Hope she likes it, at any rate.
