Perhaps the person most responsible for the overload of bad fan-comics (if you don't count Dave Anez's initial inability to reject any of them) was one Rick O'Shay, so named because his skin deflects bullets. He made and submitted the first ever, and unfortunately did them very well. Who wants to copy someone who does something badly? Other than those (such as I) who like to make themselves look better by comparison, I mean. Ehhh. Not only did this O'Shay person make arguably (arguably) the best fan-comics, but his author character was distinguised from non-author Megaman clones in his comic by wearing one of those invincible construction helmet things. That was also frequently copied. Badly.
Could it be considered asinine that I misspelled the word? How about that knowing it's incorrect, I haven't fixed it?
This background is from the comically serious Demon's Crest, which features that flying orange thing who gained infamy for killing Arthur, wearer of the polystyrene armor, many, many times. It's one of those games that you may find yourself playing just to lose on purpose.
Who says television isn't educational?
I never asked permission to use "Techno" as a character. In fact, on not one of the occasions in which I used someone else's custom-built character did I ever ask permission. This is a worse offense than using many, many officially trademarked characters and backgrounds (in this instance we're back to Draculax again, the preferred choice for constipated vampires), ripped out of illegal video-game r0mz, by the way.
Actually, just this once I did ask for permission to use this character, but never received a response. But in fairness to Rickoash, I must tell you that I asked like this.
| Would it bother you tremendously if i used that teknoh character in my own unnecessary megaman comic already over a year ago without asking you first? |
Would you say yes to that? I'd be surprised if he even got past my recycled, irrelevant subject line. I didn't say who I was, just in case he had the good fortune to not figure it out.
The original caption to this one was "Dr. Wily's homage to Steve Moraff." You'll see why I wish I had stopped there a bit later. You probably know already if you've read these comics before (and why again?), or you saw that warning-type-message I had here for a few weeks.
Also, Wily cannot possibly have pulled the cover off like that from where he grabbed it. This must be one of those WACKY OUTTAKES.
A couple of people (at least one, anyway) insisted that the purple spikish thing must have a name, and even went so far as to call it "Evil Eddie." A'hwuh? That implying it is an evil version of the rarely seen and rarelier helpful red thing whose image I modified to make it. I truly did not even know it was named "Eddie" until internet. I always thought it was called "Fliptop" for some reason. And I'll continue to call it that, just because I like that name better. Anyway, the purple one doesn't have a name. It does nothing, evil or otherwise, and only appears maybe four or five times ever in the history of anything, so it hardly needs one.
Someone (likely the same person I mentioned before) took the images (and some others I had nothing to do with) from the background and made a sprite sheet out of them. If you look, (and again, why?) you might notice that these ones are facing the other way, and that whoever did it switched the side it was shiny on, in addition to making the [wholly needless, on a robot] eyelids grey. Actually, you probably won't notice any of that. But at least I did.
I have no idea how long it takes to become a licensed dentist.
Also, in 20XB the last of the rainforests was eliminated, and the World Wildlife Fund just gave up. Following that, the World Wrestling Entertainers federated again. Ha ha ha (sigh).
Lifetime will still be making movies XX years from now.
Tintin video games are good for something, even if it's not a good thing that they're good for. Backgrounds, I mean. Why am I even telling you what backgrounds I used? And why won't I stop?
I hear Dr. Light was bitten by a radioactive rubber band.
But... ehhh... this's an All My Children plot contrivance, right here. Murderer Janet Green gets experimental (very experimental) plastic surgery in prison, and then let out for some reason. Now she stalks Trevor, who would've married Janet's sister Natalie had Janet not pushed her into a well for not being "good enough" for Trevor. Laurel finds out Janet's secret somehow, so Janet rams Laurel's car off the road. Laurel is comatose, and only able to say "Janet... face...!" Janet and Natalie's mother, who never liked Janet too much, which we are informed of by convenient softly-hued flashback sequences, also comes to visit Trevor, and suspects something, so Janet buys some time by pushing her down a flight of stairs. At last Janet is revealed when Harold (a dog) interrupts- wow. I should stop.
I'd like to see Bill Cosby try to sell that.
The other object is a cheese-making machine from Malcolm's Revenge, one of the few games I took graphics from that I own a legal copy of. Even Hexen, which the background is from (dah! still doing it), I had to internet ill-get after I lost the disk. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I took the cheese-generating device out of a beta-stage screenshot, so my record's still perfect (hurray).
I imagine a lot of worrying goes on over there.
Dr. Light's lab-coat has its button on the wrong side.
I didn't look at a single olde-timey suit when I made that.
Whaddya want? A cookie?!
I believe that background may actually be from a Megaman game. I know, I'm as shocked as you are.
That about sums up my entire internet existence. Except for the "eight bucks" part.
I hate Pac-Man. Likewise, I hate games with Pac-Man in them. Especially if they're based on the Pac-Man cartoon once seen on the USA channel's "Cartoon Express." However, this might have been my only chance to use the font "Traffic." I'm still looking for any opportunity to justify all my -dings.
