maqqy96. Some things ARE just that funny.

So I've got some new burned CDs in the ol' motor vehicle. One features Sonic Heroes' "This Machine" song, one I really like. But is it me, or does the guy singing it sound a bit like Liquid Snake of Metal Gear Solid fame, at least some of the time?(and I think he does He-Man in the recent series, too, as I recall).
---
The job hunt continues. One or two options look good, though. But I've learned not to let my hopes get up beyond considering it a mere possibility.
---
Amusing article in Game Informer, it's a sort of open forum letter that they seem to do each issue from someone in the video game industry, giving a sort of insider perspective on different issues. This issue? How developers don't deliberately try to make a game suck, but how there are reasons for things turning out as they do, etc., etc. The person writing this particular piece? A guy from Capcom who apparently worked on Mega Man Anniversary Collection.
The irony is so thick and so deep, I don't even know where to begin.
He didn't address that game, or any other specifically, but I think I have a fair idea of what inspired him...
Unfortunately, I do not remember the fellow's name offhand... Robert something, I believe. If anyone has this issue(I think it had Midnight Run 3 or some racing game on the cover), could you grab the name for me? A scan of the page(legible) would be even better, as I'd like to post it to The Mega Man Network.
---
Meanwhile, over in Gamepro, last issue(still there with the new one for some reason), they talk a bit about Mega Man Zero 3. It goes on to describe Neo Arcadia as a place in which Reploids and humans are able to coexist peacefully. Sort of a half-truth, I guess... still, kinda leaves out the part about where if a Reploid doesn't kiss some serious human ass, then they put a bullet through its skull.
---
Read two comics during a stop at Indigo Books today. One was a funny Batman Adventures comic(based on the animated series) with the Joker. Good stuff.
The other was Sonic the Hedgehog, with "Return to Angel Island part 2(I think)." I still don't care for the artist, and he seems to have been given the whole run of the arc. Shame, because the story seems good... I like the introduction of old Sonic game elements into the Floating Island's geography, storywise at least.
Funny thing... there was no trace of Shonen Jump there.

And I guess that's all for now.
