ANYWAY, I had one of my incredible ideas on Tuesday, and now I'm seeing how that works, but it will require me to buy 700 bucks worth of software to pull off, so it won't be happening overnight. UNLESS you can pull off the greatest bank heist in the history of mankind!

You guys forgot about Jack Churchill. He resumed his commission after Poland was invaded and volunteered for the Commandos after fighting at Dunkirk. It is said that Churchill was not sure what was entailed in Commando duty, but that because it sounded dangerous, he signed up. In May 1940, Churchill and his unit, the Manchester Regiment, ambushed a German patrol near l'Epinette, France. Churchill gave the signal to attack by cutting down the feldwebel (sergeant) with his barbed arrows.
He led two companies in Operation Archery, the raid on the German garrison at Vågsøy, Norway on December 27, 1941. As the ramps fell on the first landing craft, Churchill leapt forward playing the "March of the Cameron Men" on his pipes. The Commandos destroyed the battery and eliminated the garrison.
For his actions at Dunkirk and Vaasgo, Churchill received the Military Cross and Bar. He received the Distinguished Service Order in 1943 for capturing the battery at Salerno, while commanding Number 2 Commando. Leading from the front, Churchill infiltrated the town with only a corporal in support. He kidnapped a sentry and forced him to make his comrades surrender. Churchill and the riflemen walked out of town with 42 prisoners and a mortar squad.
In 1944, he led Number 2 Commando in Yugoslavia, where they supported the efforts of Tito's partisans. The commandos raided the German-held island of Brač and assaulted hill 622. Only Churchill and six others managed to reach the objective. A mortar shell killed or wounded everyone but Churchill, who played "Will Ye No Come Back Again?" on his pipes as the Germans advanced. He was knocked unconscious by grenades and was flown to Berlin for interrogation after being captured. He was placed in Sachsenhausen concentration camp.

I've been out of the loop with MMZ after the first game, besides the occasional plot summary, so what parts of it, plot-wise, are wallbanging worthy? It's the steroids.
And crack cocaine! Because Dr.Cain is an ass.
"Oh! I have a great idea! Let's use X's design to create reploids that can think and reason on their own and put them to work like slaves since they are robots! I'm sure nothing can go wrong with that!"
More like an idiot. Wasn't he supposed to be an archaeologist or a botanist or something?

Earlier today, was glumly looking at the flood of DeviantArt people favorite-tagging that retarded Megaman-X-crossdressing series I did four years ago and now hate with a bitter rage, and pondering doing Megaman art again just to get them looking at recent non-suck drawings... And hours later, the board is back?
COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.
And I'm back too. Coincidence, or revenge from a certain goddess? THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW.
