@MegaTaosenaiStorm : "You must have read this entire story to post, or at least the saga. This is for the best storytelling and no plotholes." - MegaBossMan

Your post doesn't make sense in the story. 1.) Ice Man is elsewhere. 2.) Storm (I think that's his name?) hasn't been introduced yet. 3.) You haven't clarified why they're fighting.

You don't have to fix #2 & #3 right now if you end up explaining later, but #1 still stands; you're contradicting the story.

@TailsMK4 : I know whatcha mean, but Gemini alt would go well with your profile seeing as you use his mugshot to speak. That's all I was saying.

Out of curiosity, since we're nearing "winter", is there a set/estimated due date or just wait and see?

@TailsMK4 : I personally would like ALL the alt skins to be buyable, but I compromised 50-50 because Adrian's planning to have them unlocked via grinding. We'll just have to see what he says.

You're undoubtedly going to unlock Gemini alt first, aren't you?

Part 3/3

What do you want?
Well, I can see we're off to a great start here. I saw my master's lab explode and wanted come give a compliment to whoever made that explosion. Seriously, that was AWEsome....What are you doing here?
Taking care of the guy who blew up the lab. Nothing to see here, so-
Wait a second, is that Ballade?
Napalm Man eyed Ring Man.
What ARE you doing here, boy?
Ring Man returned the glare.
What'd you call me?
Boy. Step aside or pay the price.
Ring Man hurled his bladed ring at Napalm Man.
Hmph.
Napalm Man roundhouse kicked the ring into one of Pharaoh Man's cuffs, breaking it and leaving him dangling from one hand. Pharaoh Man started working on the other one. Ring Man wasn't focused on Pharaoh Man, though.
*snarls* You arrogant-
Funny how you define "arrogant" as someone who can deflect your pathetic excuse of an attack. You may have been created to kill Mega Man, but I come from the military. On the battlefield, it's kill or be killed, so let's see if you've got what it takes to match me. If not, you're just another casualty.

Part 2/3

Pharaoh Man shot his Pharaoh Shot at Ring Man, but Ring Man shot out a chain of rings and whipped the Pharaoh Shot back at Pharaoh Man, which exploded into him. The Pharaoh Shot itself had no effect on Pharaoh Man, but the light from the explosion in his face did...
AAAHH! Just like Flash Stopper or Bright Burst to be politically correct on an MMRPG forum!
Pharaoh Man held up his hands, and Ring Man took the advantage. He shot two rings horizontally at his wrists, and as soon as the rings touched, the back ends of the ring broke off and turns into crescents cupping his wrists like horseshoes. Pharaoh Man went flying into the wall wrists first, and the rings impaled themselves into the wall on contact, leaving Pharaoh Man dangling by his wrists.
How did you....Grrrr you MONSTER!
Yea, I get that a lot. But hey, at least I didn't kill you.
Ring Man materializes a bladed ring in his hand again.
Leave him alone!
Why do you even care for this guy? HE'S A WILY BOT.
He's fighting for the same thing that I am. Are you even aware of the brainwashing that's happening?
Ring Man gave Pharaoh Man a smug look. Suddenly Pharaoh Man felt a knot in his stomach.
What are you hiding?
Ring Man laughed again.
It's just SO EASY to set you off, it's hilarious! But anyways, you're just too trusting, Pharaoh Man. You have NO proof that this guy has the same goal as you. Similar goals, MAYbe, but most likely he doesn't. Why do I know that?
Ring Man looked at Pharaoh Man and raised his eyebrows, showing that this wasn't a rhetorical question.
I don't care.
I know this because that's who you are: co-dependent. So many people think that you're tough stuff, that you're the strong and silent type, but I know better. Over the years, you've grown so clingy you HAVE to rely on someone, and this "alliance", no doubt it was spur-of-the-moment, is just your next mistake. Even the fact that you keep referring to Cossack as "master" is because you're so recklessly dependent on others. Don't try to convince me that this is any different; I'm doing you a FAVOR by killing him. Now, if we're done-
As Ring Man walked over to Ballade, Pharaoh Man looked down. Pharaoh Man knew Ring Man didn't truly care; he just wanted to do what he saw fit. Even so, even though it was just Ring Man, every word struck a nerve, and Pharaoh Man, completely shocked by how close-to-home Ring Man hit, was speechless.
It's so easy to get into people's minds once you know enough.
Pharaoh Man looked up. Ring Man was standing over Ballade's body, looking at Pharaoh Man with a menacing joy.
They all call me a psychopath, pretending that I'm the enemy here, but they don't take even a glance at themselves. Everyone has a flaw that they hate, something about them that they just keep trying to run from, but instead of accepting it, they put on masks and point the finger at everyone else, condemning others for their own flaws. Why? Because it helps them forget their own.
Ring Man held out his hands.
Me? I've accepted who I am, the fact that I have rings for weapons, the fact that I can get off-topic really easily, and the fact that I was made for a purpose that no else understands. But I can't change it; I don't WANT to change it. It's who I am, and that's that. I was made to kill Mega Man, and I'm not going to rest until it's done.
*music stops*
Just then, an explosion blows the ceiling open, sending debris and dust everywhere. As a large chunk of debris came falling towards Ring Man and Ballade, Ring Man jumped away and Pharaoh flicked a small Pharaoh Shot at the debris, breaking it up into harmless bits.
Ring Man looked up angrily.
Am I never going to get to kill this purple freak!?
Who you callin' a purple freak?
A voice called out from the hole in the ceiling, and a tank dropped into the lab.

Part 1/3

Y-you! H-how...?
It's great to see you, too, buddy! Although, if it WAS you who blew up my lab...

Cue theme I'd advise to set the Start/Stop to 0:00 and 2:00
...well, I just don't want to get off on the wrong foot.
I thought you were at Cossack's lab...
Well obviously you thought wrong. Now di-...hel-lo. Who do we have here?
Ring Man notices the unevenly-breathing robot that Pharaoh Man is standing over.
...Ballade? Was it him who blew up my lab? It obviously must've been; he has those....Ballade Chips? Ballade Triscuits?...Ballade...uh....Waffles?
Ballade Cra-
Nonono, shush shush I got this.....Hmmmmm....Ballade Pretzels....Ballade Cheese & Cracke-CRACKERS! Ballade Crackers! Tell me I'm right!
Ring Man gives a gleeful look at Pharaoh Man, to which Pharaoh Man slowly nods.
YES! Ah, I feel so accomplished! Now, if you would kindly just, uh, move over there or something.
Ring Man shoos away as a ring with blades materializes in his hand.
What-..no!
Ring Man raises an eyebrow and starts twirling the ring on his finger.
*chuckles softly*.....Excuse me? Not only is he programmed to kill Mega Man, which is MY job, but he blew up my lab! And you're defending him?
Ring Man puts a bit of irritation in his last sentence, and Pharaoh Man grows apprehensive, clenching his fist.
Wait a second. YOUR lab? This isn't even your master's lab. let alone yours.
DO NOT call him my master in front of me.
Pharaoh Man remembered that Ring Man was easy to stall if you hit the right notes, but stalling wasn't what Pharaoh Man was aiming for. What was Ring Man up to?
....Sorry. What are you doing here? Why are calling this your lab?
Ring Man dissolved his ring (which was a good sign that he forgot about Ballade) and held out his hands, looking around the lab.
I don't see anyone else who could POSSIBLY claim this lab, do you? Hehehehe.
Pharaoh Man scowled.
YOU caused the mechas to go berserk?
Ring Man laughed.
Oh, man, I absolutely LOVE your face when you "figure things out". Anyways, the mechas may have been damaging part of the lab, but I wasn't interested in what they were destroying. You see, I needed some...repairs. You will not BELIEVE how painful it is when your core gets wrecked. Then again, I've experienced worse...You remember.
Ring Man gave a bitter look. Pharaoh Man looked away. Then, Ring Man brightened.
But that's all in the past. If it wasn't for this injury, I wouldn't have sought out this lab and wouldn't have found something VERY interesting. Did you know that Wily keeps parts of his past contraptions?
*warily looks at Ring Man*....What will you do now?
Find and destroy Mega Man, of course! Although, I was in the middle of doing just now when-....
Ring Man blankly stared at the floor, then looked at Pharaoh Man angrily.
You were stalling me! You know how much I HATE that! I'm going to kill this filthy robot, and if you stand in my way...Well, you won't stand in the way for long.
You're going to fight me? Are you sure that's smart?
You overestimate the power of weaknesses, Pharaoh. You won't win.

I don't remember if this was suggested already, but could you make at least some alt skins buyable? Especially considering the people that have money to burn, I feel like that would be a better way of unlocking than expending hours of time just to unlock, like 5 robots. Since MBM is making GB/GS alt skins, you could perhaps make those buyable but let the original alts be unlocked via summons (I would prefer vice versa but that's just me).

New suggestion: could you make it so that we can navigate through pages at the bottom as well as the top? It can be a pain to read to the end of a page, then have to scroll all the way back up to switch the page, rinse and repeat.

Part 2/2

Pharaoh Man opened his eyes to see that the lab was more damaged by the explosion that he'd thought it would be. It must've been because of the damage that the mechas had done to the lab prior, and the explosion had been the breaking point. It now looked like a completely abandoned lab: no working machines, occasional sparks, and dead silence besides the sizzling of machinery. Pharaoh Man looked around to see that he was slouched against the wall and his back ached. Must've flown against the wall or something. As he scanned his surroundings, he spotted a yellow point sticking out of a pile of scrap metal in the corner.
Ballade!
Pharaoh Man pulled the unconscious Ballade out of the heap. His core was still red-hot but surprisingly unchanged in temperature. His life was still in danger, though...
We need find a core cryofreezer fast! But...
Pharaoh Man looks around the devastated lab and shook his head.
Everything's gone...What do I do?
WHO DISTURBS MY SLUM-y'know what, forget it, who's the troublemaker here?....Pharaoh? Hey buddy, how ya been!?
Pharaoh Man looks up to see an all-too-familiar face

Part 1/2

Stop right there!

PIERRO! PIERRO! PIERRO!
BURRROOOOO! KOMA KOMA BURRRROOOOO!
BATTO-BATTON! BAT-TON-TON-BATTON!!!
You can't fight these guys without risking a core overheat or worse, Ballade. I'll handle them-
You can't. There's so much crossfire even a RM would be destroyed if he got involved. That's probably why this situation was abandoned rather than pacified. I'm just wondering how these mechas haven't been reduced to rubble yet...
How are we going to sate this then? I could try and pick them off with Pharaoh Shots, but that would take awhile.
.....I have an idea.
Ballade takes out a cracker and puts it in his core, where it begins charging. However, unlike last time, the interior of the charging chamber is red with heat...
Ballade, you're going to make yourself explode!
I would gladly put my life on the line for my master's home! What would you do if Cossack's lab was under fire like this? *sigh* Still, I can't blame you. You should get away from here in case-
I'm not gonna leave you like that.
Ballade frowned.
Even I'm starting to wonder: why do you trust me so much? Why do you think I'll help you? My master is the most notorious robotics specialist on Earth, but yet you'd risk your life just to stay by my side?
Pharaoh Man sighed.
It was a sort of prophecy I read, about foes becoming friends and friends becoming foes. I can't help but feel that you're one of them. I still don't think core-charging that cracker is a good idea...
Right on cue, Ballade falls to the floor and grabs his chest.
URRRGH. *pants for breath* I-it's done.
You idiot!
Ballade lays supine and weakly points to his chest.
Take it out for me.
Pharaoh Man gingerly removes the violently glowing cracker with a look of awe and concern.
Y...you're gonna have to throw it.
What!?
Come on, it's *pants for breath* it's just like your Pharaoh Shot!
This is NOTHING like the Pharaoh Shot! With Pharaoh Shots, I just direct the accumulated energy with my finger. It's literally just point-and-shoot . This is way different!
Well, you're going to have to throw it if you don't want it to blow up in your hand! *pants for breath* So pull up your frilly stockings and THROW IT! *cough cough* My mouth feels like it's on fire...
*nods* You're right. Okay....1....2....3!

I look forward to that momentary glimpse of your glory, Tails!

Are there any particular plans for this upcoming chat session? And has there been any progress made in switching the date of the chat?

@MegaBossMan : H.....he does?

@ThatOneEnderMan : But the best part about Top Spin is that you never know what you're going to get. That's what makes it so unique: it's a gamble in the most extreme definition of the word. I understand that you want to be able to at least somewhat determine the damage output so that you can use it strategically like other abilities, but that's just not what Top Spin is. What you're suggesting will just limit the gamble spectrum for the move, which makes it less unique.

With Top Spin, you win some and you lose some. That's just how that ability works.

I tell you, that Quint is gonna get himself killed...
Good riddance. He was toxic to the group.
Ballade crosses his eyebrows.
He's like a brother to me. All the Killers are. I don't expect you to understand-
Ballade winces and grabs his chest.
That fight took more out of me than I thought...I think we could use some repairs.
Not a bad idea.
Pharaoh Man starts typing into his buster.
.......Only robots in Dr. Cossack's lab are some Light bots, so how about there?
What do you think they'll think when he sees me? After charging that Ballade cracker when fighting Quint, I'm afraid my core might be unstable, and I want to avoid any misunderstandings.
..........Looks like Light Labs is also full...
.........Wily's lab is-wait.....what the heck? There's a bunch of mechas fighting each other and making a mess of everything! We gotta stop them!
Pharaoh Man knit his eyebrows.
You want to avoid misunderstandings, but utter chaos is just fine? Plus, what if there are other robots? I doubt they'll give us a warm welcome.
Whether you like it or not, Wily is my master, and it's my duty to protect his lab. You don't have to come with me, but I HAVE to do this!
Pharaoh Man thinks for a moment.
I can't let you do that alone, not after you saved us. That may not have been your intention, but I trust you more than the other Killers.
Pharaoh Man looked around.
Anyone else?
Dust Man vomited a cube of rocks and bones out, but other than that, no one said anything.
Pharaoh Man frowned at the newcomers, but Bright Man shook his head.
I'm sorry, Pharaoh, but I have no reason to trust him, not even if you do. Plug? What about you?
Plug Man remained silent and looked at Dust Man.
What does Dust Man say?
Pharaoh Man gave him an "Are you serious?" face, but turned to Dust Man and tapped him on the shoulders. Dust Man turned around with that same happy-go-lucky look in his eyes.
Hi, Pharaoh Man! Want some rocks? I just swallowed them, so I could probably spit them back up-
Um, no thanks, Dust Man. Listen, Ballade and I want to head to Wily's lab for repairs, which is something you could probably use, too. Will you come with us?
Dust Man looked like he was about to respond, but then he stopped. His expression slowly turned thoughtful with his eyes staring at the floor. Then he looked up and shook his head.
Nope! Thanks for offering, though!
Pharaoh Man raised his eyebrows.
R...really? Why not?
I think Bright Man is right. As trustworthy as he may seem, you never know when your closest ally might be hiding something deep underneath. Besides, me and Bright Man go way ba-
Yes, we know. *sigh* What will you do then?
Eat! Rocks and bones as far as the eye can see!
Pharaoh Man face is filled with uncertainty about leaving Dust Man here. Bright Man walks over and awkwardly puts his hand on Pharaoh Man's shoulder.
He's got Plug Man and me. Don't worry.
Um....thanks.....C...could you...?
Oh! Right.
Bright Man quickly removes his hand and steps back.
Now that everything's settled-
Ballade gives Bright and Pharaoh a strange look.
more or less....Shall we, Pharaoh Man?
Pharaoh Man glances back at Dust Man, stuffing his face with debris. After a moment, Pharaoh turns to Ballade and nods.
Let's go.
Ballade imputs the location and the two of them teleport out.

@TailsMK4 : I have learned since then to copy my long post to see if it timed me out, in which case I log back in and simply paste my post, so honestly I can live with it. However, there are also forums that don't time you out and allow you to stay logged in not for just one session, but also automatically logs you in every time you visit. I think that's a feature that would really be convenient for regulars to this forum and would be a great addition overall.

Sometimes, when I'm posting a time-consuming post, it won't post because the website logged me off and I'll lose everything I just typed. Could there be a "Remember me" feature or just remove the automatic logout altogether?

@ThatGuyNamedMikey : I could get into a semi-big discussion on why I disliked the Starforce series (the third was decent) but this is not the place nor the time. Well....I mean it COULD be the time, but....*sigh* never mind.

Anyways, it's been awhile since I've played my DS, so, off the top of my head, the only good games that I have that weren't mentioned were:

Wario: Master of Disguise (Puzzle/Platformer) - I haven't played any Wario games besides this, but in case you were wondering, this is NOT a party game. You go through a series of levels solving puzzles by utilizing various suits that you collect throughout the game, all to further your journey to become TEH MASTRR THEEF. It's pretty good and, especially if you do the challenge levels, pretty difficult. I liked it.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (Strategy/RPG) - You and your small army, consisting of Marth and whatever characters you recruit along the way, trek across the country and defeat enemies by tactically moving your men through the battlefield in a turn-based gameplay. Personally for me, it got repetitive after awhile, but if you like casual strategy gaming, then this is a game that you could try. Sorry if I didn't do this game justice, but it's been a lon gtime since I've played it.

Super Scribblenauts (Puzzle/Sandbox) - It's like Scribblenauts except SUPAH CHARGE IT-I'm kidding. If you've never played Scribblenauts, its claim to fame is the ability to create practically anything in the dictionary by writing/typing it out (as long as it's not vulgar). You can either play around with your creations at the main menu or choose the campaign to solve designated puzzles by creating and utilizing the right kind of things. Also, regarding Scribblenauts Unlimited for 3DS, I would only suggest getting it if you've never played a Scribblenauts game before. It's better than Super Scribblenauts, but not worth getting if you already have Super Scribblenauts.

Sorry if you already have or don't like these games. These are simply games I have and like. Happy shopping!

@uraccountcrashed : STOP DOU-never mind.

Ever heard of puush? Not only can you upload files straight from your computer, but you can also select a part of your screen to instantly screenshot and upload, which can help if an online picture's URL isn't working or something (and yes this has happened to me). I personally find puush very helpful, but if you don't want to download and install something, you can always use an image-hosting site like Imageshack (I think you have to subscribe for that now...), Photobucket like Mega B said, etc.
