Smarts and brains
#20 seeks wisdom
Look how hard he trains!
Hello internet! #20 here. Long time Mega Man fan, been hooked since Mega Man 2 back in ’89 or so. I’ve been spasmodically active in the online Mega Man community since around 1995.
As a student of Japanese, I fan translate things for franchises I love. Usually those things involve robots. I dig video games, anime, comics, movies, stuff like that, though my most rabid fanboyism surfaces around Mega Man.
I’ve contributed to a few Mega Man sites over the years, mainly The Mega Man Network and Mega Man PC, but I was always too flaky to follow through with most of my big dream projects, eventually leaving for other distractions. In 2009 I started blogging, since I imagined it to be a lot more simple and leisurely than operating an actual fan site. Ha!
In 2010 my friend Dr. Cossack was awesome enough to invite me over to his server, and here we are. The rest awaits to be written!
“Laguz Island” in the Southern Ocean. Here is where the Reploid Research Lavatory is located. One day, the readings of Reploids had instantly vanished. A lot of Reploids were erased! What happened in this island…?
What is the significance behind the name the Reploid Research Lavatory?
- To illustrate how ridiculous some official translations are.
- Because Mega Man Xtreme 2 is an awesome game!
- An homage to “Fiber for the Irregular Hunter.”
- A reminder to the hardcore fandom never to take imaginary realms too seriously.
- Some things don’t really need a deeper meaning.
The answer must be found for oneself.
Goodness! It’s #20! Totally awesome to see you’re still alive and kicking–and with a pretty rad site, to boot. We ought to catch up, do lunch! Well, I can snail mail you a sandwich or something. Thanks for the translations and generally awesome website. Take care!
It’s so awesome to hear from you, Red! Yes, we absolutely must do that. I’ll have the cheddar and roast beef please. [^_^]
Hey Kobun-kun!
You got a nice site here!
I can imagine more kobun-kontent with the release of Legends 3. I miss the popularity of those yellow-headed bastards, as I’ve stocked up on a lot of their stuff, with only some of them in my collection.
Well, hope to see you again man!
