"Don't turn your back on the city.."

The Protomen [previously] in 2005 released the most geektastic dystopian nightmare of a MegaMan based rock opera anyone could have possibly conceived. After four years, they have finally released a followup album: Act II: The Father Of Death Obsessive fans have been clamoring over the details of the story, which serves as a prequel to the events of the debut album. Without revealing too many details, it details the working relationship between Dr. Thomas Light and Dr. Albert Wily as it deteriorates, as Wily goes mad and takes the life of the only woman Dr. Light ever loved, frames Dr. Light for the crime and forces him into exile and his eventual return to the city and attempt to save it, setting the stage for the story of the first album. Musically, the band has changed from electronic/indie mashup sounds of their first album to a first rate Wagnerian Rock band that Jim Steinman would be proud of. As evidenced by tracks like "Light Up The Night", the band has adopted a distinctly epic 80's soundtrack style which fits their theatrical music perfectly. Other album tracks (though it is a disservice not to listen to the album as a whole): "The Good Doctor" "The Hounds" "Breaking Out"

Speaking of robots, here is a trailer for Megaman the Movie, a low budget live action adaptation of the classic NES game. [sort of previously] (Warning, the last link is experiencing bandwidth spikes, so may be down.) Slightly higher def trailer here.

"We're not building a themed adventure for Mega Man; just kill him!" Where does Mega Man's nemesis get his wonderful toys? How much does it cost to construct big spikes? Can one add ice blocks to the magnet level without violating a building code? It's not easy being in the Dr. Wily business.

Because sometimes playing only two Mega Man games simultaneously with the same input just doesn't satisfy. Presenting Mega Man 3, 4, 5, and 6 - at the same ding-donged time. The music alone will drive you insane.

The Proto-Men present a Mega-Man Rock Opera. There is nothing more to say. Ever. About anything.

Now you're playing with power.

They're all here. Or most of them. This will make you dust off your NES/Genesis/Turbo GraphX-16... but this time with a pixel-perfect map of every level of your most beloved games. From Amiga to Xbox. Castlevania, Zelda, and Megaman among hundreds of others and links to even more in-depth sites. Warning - some of these maps are EXTREMELY large, like 13000x5000 large.
