No Interest In Battle Network

Had a couple people inquire about the recently released Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collections and I might as well address it here to get it out of the way.

No, I did not buy either collection nor do I plan on it.

It basically boils down to a lack of interest. Battle Network was never something that caught my interest back in the day and even today, it’s not something that I’m interested in trying out. The fact of the matter is that it’s a style of play that doesn’t quite appeal to me and also when it comes to this particular franchise, there’s a certain style of Mega Man game that I prefer to play… if only because it’s a style of game that this series has often excelled at delivering.

Ironically enough, I only have one game linked to the Battle Network series and that’s the Gamecube-exclusive Network Transmission, which was more of a traditional Mega Man side-scroller… seemingly made by people who have no fucking clue on how to make a traditional Mega Man side-scroller. Did this one side game sour me on an entire subset of the Mega Man franchise? Nope; the style of game that Battle Network presented didn’t appeal to me. It did, however, sour me on Network Transmission as a game on its own merits… or lack thereof.

I still have that game somewhere… but don’t expect a video on that any time soon because… I really don’t want to play that game.

State Of The Blog – May 2023

Well, the month of May is upon us, which means we’re done with the daily A.I. Paint postings. I may bang out a few more of these every so often, but not in the frequency that we’ve seen last month. This thing could also be useful for some smaller stuff, but struggling artists can rest assured that when it comes to the bigger projects, I won’t be using any A.I. Paint Program to produce

That’s what the Google Search engine is for.

We’ll go into the “finer” details after the break, but to make a long story short, this month is going to be relatively light on material. On the video front, it’ll be your regularly scheduled review fodder to go along with a House Show gimmick and possibly one or two other videos if all the pieces fall in place. Written posts will be even more sporadic this month, but maybe things will pick up in June. We’ll see.

DTM House Show – Cody Pulled A Luger (April 29th, 2023)

Cody pulled a Luger. What other fails can we expect from this collection of stuff?

Don’t come into this expecting greatness, but rather mild disappointment at best. We open with Cody Vs. Brock in an old WWE video game because I couldn’t bother to buy the new WWE game because it’s too rich for my blood… and then we dabble in a homebrew NES game from a couple years ago before diving into some Mega Man Maker.

This video is unlisted on the ‘Tubes for now, so this is a treat for the blog visitors.
