A Topic over at Capcom-Unity came up recently about a possible fan made tribute ebook. Bit of an emphasis on 'fan made', but it seemed like something that could be done in an effort to further show fan interest within the franchise (and directly by series). So making this topic, I'd like to generate interest and any who would like to assist in it's creation.

With that said, simple ideas were generated to include within the ebook: Official Art, Fan Art (with permission of artist, including Sigehiro-San's ZX mockery), articles (with permission of writer), the Drama Track translations, ZX cameos (Flame, this was directly a shout to you, if you were interested in it), etc. There can be more...

It is a project idea, something that could manifest if many assist. Not my idea, though I'm assisting.

So, who is interested?

So, right now Adobe their CS2 available for free download. If you now anything of the Adobe CS, this is rather amazing. Without further adieu, go have a shot to what programs you'd like: http://www.adobe.com...oads/index.html

Welcome to December 17! MegaMan's Official Birthday! Starting things off, Street Fighter X MegaMan launched just a little while ago, but not on Steam or any other form of PC download support. Coming in at nearly 34 MB, it is directly available off of Capcom-Unity's website and is only for PC - the MegaMan Group more specifically. Plays just like MegaMan 4 (you'll see what I mean), with it's own Boss gimmick: if the boss is hurt enough (fills a second gauge by their life bar) they unleash a special attack. It certainly keeps it interesting with a setup like that.

Instructions for downloading: Just select your region (hover mouse over the bar in the MegaMan/Ryu image to select your region), it will then change to show you the download bar at the top right, then wait. If you get this early, there may be delays as you aren't the only one downloading this. But patience prevails, you'll soon enjoy it regardless.

When downloading, be sure to read the disclaimer present within the download part of this process to see the credits of the fans who put this together. Thru this link (at the bottom), Capcom can gather numbers of downloads and by what region. Other ways to download, including direct links, do not get counted. Just a heads up if you want to support our Blue Bomber.

[center]The Official Blog has some good info about this.

Something I've been thinking about, doing a short story based off of what the readers choose. By using a Poll and making story installments based off of the top choice, in effort to progress the story. Similar to what 38 Studios did (or allowed, on Facebook) in effort to get fans' attention. Just, I cannot take screenshots (I don't game on my PC), so there won't be images.

I'll start off with a poll to identify the character whom will be the narrator/'protagonist'.

In about a week, I'll take the results and do a short/chapter and post it up, along with another poll.



*Which 'Human' arises to have survived the Apocolypse?

Hunter.

Vamp (on the Right).

Rambo (bottom row, in the middle).

******************

Since I planned on this almost a week ago, I have already written the first 'chapter' (also can be found here):

Chapter 1.

Raining flames, collapsing of buildings; rumbling of the ground as anything living or dead falls upon the earth. Shrieks echo within the busy air, both familiar as well as if from a nightmare. People screaming, trampling and getting trampled; being hunted by creatures we have only ever described by Faith or by Fantasy. These creatures, these... demons... and angels, clarify some of the teachings. From what I have been told anyway. Well, more like overheard. My mind swirls with these thoughts, keeping itself preoccupied from my current situation: bleeding and pinned underneath some collapsed debris. Struggling around, I manage to move slightly, just enough to feel more material on top of me. Within this weight I hear all kinds of rumbling, like a war is going on. That being the least of my worries, was rather easy to ignore.


As I continue to struggle, I feel my chest rip wider and wider, however much it actually was, I didn't know. If felt like my chest had been skinned, with the blade still pinning against the meat. But I couldn't just stay there, pinned by both this weight as well as the pain, I had to get out, no matter what. A large rumble throbbed within the material, feeling like it was getting knocked about, shifted just enough for me to wiggle my limbs free. Still caught beneath the weight but at least able to squirm.


I was able to shift some debris around just enough to move around. Feeling like it was taking forever to get thru, I had to stop time to time to breath and concentrate on ignoring my pain. Regaining my composure in short spurts, I continued crawling. To when it feels like I've slipped to a dirt ground. Figuring this is my best bet to get out I begin digging with chunks of debris that could fit in my hands. Pushing all the dirt behind me the best I could. Managing to do this for a time, I get to a point where I finally start seeing glimpses of light; bleeding through surface gaps.


When another throb knocks the debris a bit more, shifting in the opposite direction, breaking free from where I was. Staring at the now open crevasse I was in, once my eyes adjusted a bit I could see these demons fighting angels; slaughtering humans. I see a figure in Red and Steel approaching these hordes, with a gigantic blade, dicing them as if to get them no more than out of his way. The figure vanished beyond other still standing buildings from where I was watching, but figuring that being may have been responsible for whatever shifted this collapsed debris. With a calm following just behind him, I cease it as my chance to get out.


I was free, finally. The blinding light came as a brief hint relief when some other demons began approaching from where the figure had walked from. Tucking back into the hole, I wait till they pass by, taking no chances with my current condition. Once they had passed, I get back out and the first thing I see were some angelic figures; now corpses. No more dead than anything else around here. I turn one over face up, and begin undoing the binds keeping the armor on. Getting it off, I start tearing at the cloth inside, all of it. Getting it free so I can use it to bandage my wound. Getting as much out as possible I look down to gauge the seriousness of my wound. Certainly not as bad as I had imagined, but a gash crossing my entire chest as I had apparently been skinned was quite evident. Bleeding but not profusely; just enough to cause problems in a while rather than immediately. Taking the cloth, I start wrapping it around myself, as many times as possible. Tying it off, I proceed to gather cloth from another angelic corpse nearby.


Getting all I could, I notice an object sticking out of the ground a few feet from where I was; a sword. At least I knew I had a chance all my own against the odds traversing and killing one another. My instincts as a Hunter kept telling me to hunt down disinfectant as well as more of what I could get from the dead which had no more needs.

*What creature would best suit the Hunter as a 'sidekick'?

Wolf

Panther

Boar

Just discovered a form of 'comedy' that has been around on Youtube for a little while, with many other participants. But the one I initially found, was "How To Annoy With Kevin". Only 2 seasons, presented by Machinima, but it is hilarious.

Lots of crude language and other verbal content. Hope you all enjoy if this is new to you.
