Help Vote Mega Man into the Robot Hall of Fame!
Tubatic | 8:51 PM on 05.15.2009 13 comments




Look.

I know this story will hit our frontpage eventually. But this is my own personal call-to-fingers to my fellow D-Toiders.

If any video game robot deserves a place in the Robot Hall of Fame, its Mega Man. From robot of justice, to conflicted bounty hunter, to plucky treasure hunter, to revived network enabled meta relic, Mega Man exists on so many planes of robot-human relations, its ridiculous.

Capcom certainly thinks he should be there. Also, he's being beat out right now by a glorified printer Seriously, lets smash that joker.

GO VOTE YOU GLORIOUS BUTTON MASHERS! Update: Sure, we're technically voting for next year, I think. So there'd be an induction for 2011... BUT STILL! Here are the current standings

As a side note, we clearly need to get Mr. Destructoid nominated for the next induction. Hall of FameToid 2012!!

Monodi's Destructoid Blog
what do I have to add in Robot link?
Tubatic's Destructoid Blog
I left it blank,since this isn't a fresh nomination, but the info page on that list points to mmhp.net, the "Mega Man Home Page"
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Fuck that noise. Bender is first place, and Optimus Prime is a distant forth.

Fucking hipster kids and their hip robots.
Monodi's Destructoid Blog
Agh for fuck's sake Megaman is in 3rd place. Voted btw
protoknuckles's Destructoid Blog
This was the hardest election I've ever voted in. I mean, Bender, Megaman, and Optimus Prime!? Too bad Protoman isn't on the list already. And definitely Mr. Destructoid next time.
Naim Master's Destructoid Blog
Fuck you , Wall-E deserver that place !
Dyna Geek's Destructoid Blog
Whaat, no love for Johnyy 5? (lol if you got that)
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
Sorry dude! Mega Man was a close 2nd, but I love me some Optimus Prime.
MechaMonkey's Destructoid Blog
Why aren't we nominating Mr. Destructoid instead?
themizarkshow's Destructoid Blog
MegaMan is a pretty distant 2nd, but I voted anyway. I am pretty sure Bender will/should get it though.
JohnnyViral's Destructoid Blog
Bender is definitely winning this one. Poor poor Mega Man, his second place is miles away from Bender.
Tubatic's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, 2nd place might be Mega Man's lot in this one. Looks like they pull a couple per induction though, which is good enough!

Also, Mega Man was at 10% when I wrote this blog. He's currently at 14%, just ahead of the calligraphy bot!

Once the blue bomber gets his, I'm all about pimping our favorite robot leader for an induction. If all we need is 10%, should be a breeze!

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

 about me

I've beaten all the properly numbered original Mega Man games.

Mrs. Tubatic is a Sims player, and played a mean game of Harvest Moon back in the day.

Way of The Samurai, Shadow of the Colossus, Castle Crashers, Jet Grind Radio, ICO, Super DodgeBall, Final Fantasy VI and X-Com are some of the finest games ever made in ever

Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man).

"Right after getting back to Japan, [Miyamoto] suddenly said: "You know we're including golf now." Apparently he'd stated in an interview that this time round golf shots would be determined by the backswing, even though at that time a golf game didn't exist in any shape or form!"

"Just because u like a game doesn't mean u have to give it a high score"
-excerpt from the epic trolling on the Prototype review, inFamous/Protoype Wars, June 2009

Well [InsertBloggerNameHere], I'm personally indifferent about you, which is ok.

But, the posting regulars at the site will generally get a little twisty about such frequent, light on content posts. Since everything you post in a C-Blog (Community, Blog) hits the front page immediately, people like to see things there of substance (Longer reviews, different from normal opinions, pretty pictures). Otherwise, the effect is that your light-on-content post pushes down posts of people that put lots and lots of effort into a high quality blog post.

Atheistium, ThisYearsPink, Yoj1mb0, Thefil (sort of), and the early works of Conrad Zimmerman are examples of posters that clearly put a good amount of effort into their posts, and contribute interesting stuff to the site through the C-Blogs.

Soooo, its not because you're ten, specifically.
