Sometimes, it pays to be "into Jap0nz stuff", because then it's easier to grasp the fact that "Ekkusu" refers to a sidestory, or possible alternate future (a la my beloved Guilty Gear X, which is NOT a true sequel to the original Guilty Gear; Guilty Gear 2: Overture clearly ticks that box), and.... not the Roman numeral ten. Silly, silly, silly.

I really liked MM6, contrary to popular opinion. Blizzard Man's stage was boss, as icy ones go, and Centaur Man, well... what can be said?

It's really hard for my Japanese teacher to pronounce my name. Maximilian Ioannis Ximenes does not lend itself to Japanese.

Makkuzu Youannisu Shimenezu is the closest they can get.

I never assumed MMX meant "Ten" simply for the sheer fact that the *main character* is named Mega Man X--or, at best, just X. Jury's still out on if X is an upgrade of Mega Man himself or not.

I demand the boss of Mega Man 10 be Zero--if he isn't already the boss of MM9.

Also AU has the best name ever. Nothing will top that. Not even Butch Vig.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

One of the many things I've considered changing my name to is Abraham Fucking Tornado. I think that would win.

AU's name does win as far as non-assumed names go, though.

I have resolved that my firstborn son's middle name shall be Zarak. Yes. Not only is it awesome, but his middle initial would be Z! Do you know how much I wish my middle initial was Z?

Also, my father considered naming me Nikolai which would have been badass. I just get shuffled with the pitiful Americanized "Nicholas." Feh!!

I'm pretty sure that X isn't Rock. EGM had this hugeass plot map of *all* the Mega Man games and how they tied together a few issues back, which managed to get it all explained pretty well. Not entirely sure how accurate it was though. Might have to get a scan of it sometime...

My parents tossed the name Cosmo Bogart for me for a while.

I've pretty much decided that my offspring will be named Leonardo Cesare Ximenes.

I dunno. There's never any really explicit information going one way or the other--simply that X is the First Of His Kind and the only truly thinking, living machine, as the others are all Reploids and Zero was created by Wily.
