| Topic | + Metal Man rally for CBX in 20XX |
| HaRRicH 08/06/18 10:06:19 AM #1 | This rally has been five years in the making, and now it's time -- here was the original write-up. ----- Welcome to the official Metal Man rally: where men become Men. Its time we see a Robot Master. Mega Man-games are awesome largely because of its great casts of bosses, right? Metal Man is an iconic RM from Mega Man 2, the most classic MM-game. Hes the man we need to cut this streak and get one into a contest! Sure, hes a memorable boss from a legendary series known for its focus on bosses...but maybe youre not sold yet. Thats okay -- his legend goes beyond that. Defeating him gave you the power of Metal Blade, which famously wrecked most of your enemies in this difficult game. This power encouraged savvy players to fight him first, then use his power through-out the rest of their quest. Yeah, but does anybody actually like him? Se7enthrusts most recent Save My Mega Man Boss-contests suggest people care about Metal Man. He lost to Pharaoh Man in one championship, but he also redeemed himself in another championship when he skunked Air Man 59-0. Since Metal Man was the only RM to make it to the end of both contests and MM2s cast had the most support of any MM-game, Metal Man looks like Board 8s safest choice. Metal Man can also rock in a contest. In fact, his timing is perfect since Mega Man just had his best Character Battle yet; he beat Charizard despite Zeros LFF and nearly beat Mewtwo + Pikachu COMBINED in a year of Pokemania, so MM-nostalgia is strong today. The fan-reaction to Capcoms apathy, success of Mighty No. 9s Kickstarter, and addition of Mega Man in SSB4 support this notion too. Speaking of SSB4, did you know Nintendo showed off Metal Man and Metal Blade first in Mega Mans power-montage? Lets be real: Mega Man, Mega Man X, and Zero are probably out of reach in a contest...but heres my bold prediction: Metal Man will be the next strongest Mega Man-character, which means hed have to beat Proto Man. The argument is simple: the role of Robot Master is more iconic, MM2 >> MM3, and Metal Man even sneaks into MM3 to steal some spotlight. I dont expect MM9-DLC, MM10, and a whistle to save Blues here. If Metal > Proto, that means Metal Man could have scored the upset on Ike this past contest...or even challenged Epona! Even if he falls short of Proto Man, its hard to imagine Metal Man bombing. Hed definitely beat Dr. Wily, for example; RMs are much more anticipated than Dr. Wilys fights and a lot of players dont complete many MM-games, so recurring eyebrow-raises arent enough. Pit him against Servbot, and youd see a certain 2002-result get exposed. Like any worthwhile character, he could at least crush Sigma and Roll combined. Metal Man has some range, but he wont go too low -- he beats these other MM-reps weve seen before. Character Battle 20XX: you know who to pick first. --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |

| HaRRicH 08/06/18 8:01:23 AM #133 | I've been dealing with a death in the family the past week, sorry to ask this: can I get I recap of what's happened in here since August began? Any interesting links I missed? I'm pretty news-blind the past few days. Bonus points if it's about the Manafort trial, but any help in catching up would be appreciated, thanks. --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |

| HaRRicH 07/25/18 4:29:54 PM #7 | Been thinking all day about how to better fight that robot boss in the third level. 1) git gud 2) Use rockets to damage it through its spinning shield. 3) Really, really, really git gud. Gonna try to beat a few more levels on Hard, but I'm not Very Hard'ing this game. --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |

| Topic | Any advice for writing a Borderlands spec-script? |
| HaRRicH 07/24/18 11:37:52 PM #15 | Spec-script is all my idea -- nothing about their form suggests it. I still want to come ready though, and if nothing else it'd be a good exercise before I go in if I was to get an interview. Apply! --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |

| HaRRicH 07/24/18 10:31:26 PM #13 | A spec-script is pretty much an attempt to write your own take for an entry in an established series as a way to get your foot in the door with a company. Sometimes the people working with certain brands want to see you can write with an understanding of the tone and story they've already created. --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |

| HaRRicH 07/24/18 10:25:19 PM #1 | It's been recommended to me awhile and I finally tried it*. *I played the first level once years ago with someone much more familiar with the game. It didn't go well for me! So, the game: heeeeey, pretty cool. Just beat the third level on Normal and have beaten the first level on Very Hard. Stocking up on time and health power-ups for sure -- new weapons can (probably) wait. Totally normal for thumbs to get worn out, right? Really glad I switched from the Steam controller to the 360 controller for this one. --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |

| Topic | Any advice for writing a Borderlands spec-script? |
| HaRRicH 07/23/18 7:51:15 PM #1 | I just applied for Gearbox and they were looking for writers regarding "an unannounced AAA FPS/RPG hybrid with strong characters and central narrative thread." Gotta be Borderlands, right? https://gearboxsoftware.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=72 I've played part of BL1, all of Tales from the Borderlands, never quite got to $1,000,000 on Poker Night 2, and saw a few characters in our Character Battles. That's my level of familiarity with the brand. If I somehow got a callback for an interview, I'd write a short spec-script before the interview and am thinking about beginning it now anyway. What are some things I might want to consider when volunteer-writing this kind of spec-script? I'm gonna goof around on BL2 soon and browse their Wiki-page. What else? I hear the main games' stories couldn't be any cheesier and insane to be simple excuses to shoot things and to focus on fun boss characters. Think that's fair enough? Anything else storywise really worth highlighting for reasons to love it and focus on? Oh and also a kid I told about this said I need to have some climbing. You got it dude. --- Nominate METAL MAN for 20XX! https://imgur.com/Dr4NAeq |
