Well it seems there's no comic this week guys. I was (Kinda, but not a lot) helping someone with some Fal-Con stuff, but I had to stay home from the Con because a Family Emergancy had my grandma leave her house for a week and I had to stay there and watch the dogs. This seemingly small task has left me incredibly tired. So basically I'm just reading a LOT of Negima! and taking it easy. To make up for it, Alicia and I are in the process of making a bonus behind the scenes for Rich Boy Cy for you all! I'll do my best to act like a dick for you guys I promise! Now lemme get back to Negima! please. =)
Hello everyone! Rich Boy Cy is back with mixed feelings this week. You see, I want to hate Capcom Right now. For many reasons. First and foremost, No Rockman Dash 3. Second, they ruined Dante and are still planning on releasing this godforsaken Devil May Cry reboot. Third, rumor has it Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright may not see the light of day in the states. Same goes for Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD… Oh and lets not forget they are releasing what SHOULD be a DLC expansion called Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom as a full game, THE SAME YEAR THEY RELEASED THE ORIGINAL TITLE! I mean what the he-
Huh?
Strider is IN?!?
WELL THIS CHANGES THINGS!
Forgive me fans, but I have to buy it now. Even if it means supporting everything I hate. You see, two years ago if you told me I’d be hating Capcom more than Brussel sprouts, I’d have told you you were stupid. I was a huge Capcom Fanboy… But now things have changed… It’s as if they are TRYING to piss us all off. But they know they can get away with it because there are people like me around who will buy games like Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom at full price just because of one good character. Oi…
Wait… What’s this in the mail?
Oooo.,, It’s from “The Man.”
Hey! Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3! Guess I won’t have to buy it after all!
I guess it’s kind of a given to tell you folks that the recent cancellation news hit me pretty hard. I’ve been a hardcore Megaman fan since I was 2. My parents had just bought a NES after I was born (The 80’s, for those that don’t know) and they had many games on it. I had beaten Super Mario Brothers when I was 2, or so my mother says. I was too young to remember myself. Among the games they had, the main ones I would play throughout childhood were Metroid, Super Mario Bros, Excite Bike, ect. Ect.
One day they brought home a little game called Megaman 2. I believe I was about… 5, give or take, and when I popped that game in I was GONE. Sun up to sun down I was in the Mega-zone. Even when I started school, all I did was talk about Megaman. Go home, play Megaman. Take my bath and play Megaman. So yeah, when I say I grew up with the Blue Bomber, I mean it.
When I heard that Rockman Legends 3 was coming to the 3DS I fangazmed all over the place. Participated in the Dev Room blogs, shared fun links on Facebook, did some Fan art… Man. I just KNEW there was nothing that would prevent this game from taking off. The community had spoken. THIS WOULD HAPPEN!
Or not…
I still hope against hope that someone, somewhere, will decide “Hey… Remember how we canceled Dash 3? What if… now hear me out on this… what if… we didn’t…”
HELLO EVERYONE! Rich Boy Cy here, back to you with my newest article to date! As you saw from my fancy video, we’re talking about two things today. How great The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time for the 3DS is, and how I’m handling the dreadful Megaman Legends 3 news. (Spoiler alert, not well at all.)
Lets start with the bad and end with the good, shall we? So as many of you may have heard, Megaman Legends 3 was recently canceled. No, this isn’t like last time when it was simply halted, it was actually canceled this time… And all this time I was foolish enough to believe, maybe, possible, they could squeeze out one more Megaman game even though Inafune and the others left Capcom. And I… Oh… Well I should stop this before it turns into a rant. I daresay that’s my good man MAS’ job. Moving on.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time… For the 3DS… My… Goodness.. Must use… several… pauses… to describe… sheer awesomeness. Some were annoyed when the news of this title was first announced. “What? ANOTHER Ocarina of Time port?!? Jesus Mary and Joseph, this has gone too far!”
Well to you good sir or madam, I say phooey! Not only is this not a port (In fact it’s a full blown remake) but even if it WERE a port, c’mon! It’s Zelda, boyo! You can’t get mad at Zelda! Believe me! I’ve seen people lose tongues over that stuff! I’ll admit OoT has seen more consoles, virtual or otherwise, than there are socks on my bedroom floor (I swear if Consuela didn’t pick those up…) but this time around it features a complete graphics overhaul, not to mention full blown 3D effects every which way! All of the original content is intact, along with new surprises and fun little Easter eggs scattered around the 3D land of Hyrule.
Did I mention Master Quest is included? In full 3D! Just beat the game once and it’ll be unlocked for you’re playing pleasure! There are also new subtle animations as well, for instance, when running on any area of Ice, Link shows a slight wobbling animation as he slides over it! When kid Link pushes large objects, he uses his whole body rather than just his shoulder, making the act look more realistic. Along with this, other new features… well… feature themselves… Like for example, when aiming or looking through 1st person view mode, moving the 3DS around you as if you were using it as your eyes actually makes the camera in the game move as well! It’s a fun little gimmick but if you find it annoys you, it can be toggled on or off in the options menu. Same with 3D. As you should know by now, the game is fully playable and beatable in 2D as well as it is in 3D. You will also be happy to know that there are no visible frame rate issues in 3D mode either.
The gameplay is the same as it ever was. Basic puzzle solving (Lol Water Temple) and basic combat style. It has aged fairly well if I do say so myself. There were slight script changes, mainly to clear confusion, as some people didn’t know what the hell “Please with C, please sell me something!” meant. These changes are minor however, and tend to stick to instructions rather than the games actual script. Zelda still refers to Ganon as “The man with the Evil Eyes” and the Poe shop owner still says creepy things about how handsome link is, so no worries there my good chaps! And yes, Navi is just as talkative as she always has been.
All in all I’d say the game is solid! I wouldn’t buy a 3DS JUST for this game (Unless that’s your thing, or perhaps you‘re just as rich as I am and bought 6 on launch day) but if you do have a 3DS and need a good solid game, look no further! This is Rich Boy Cy, saying “HEY! LISTEN!”
Hey everyone! Cyberpunkish here with a Shiro 4koma update! This is actually based on a real life situation for me. When I first put the game in (Infamous 2 for those who haven't played) I was hanging out with Akia and another friend of mine, Adam. Adam just graduated from SCAD and is looking to pursue a career in video games, so needless to say when it comes to gaming he's one of the people I hold in high regard. I mean c'mon, he trained under one of the minds of the team that worked on the game "Crisis". So we're watching the opening scene, and then I fight the beast... and Kuo is yapping away in the background. I look at Adam and say "This is a character I am going to hate..."
Adam replies with something like "Apparently there are two main females in this game. Kuo represents good and the other chick represents bad."
Alright. I wanted to play as a good guy first so I guess I HAVE to go with Kuo. Oh well. But damn, I do NOT like this chick...
THEN she gets kidnapped...
And SPOILER ALERT!
THEN she gets her powers...
I'm sitting here rescuing her and I'm like "Oh dear me. Is that ice?" Ice just happens to be my all time favorite element. I'm a sucker for girls with Ice powers. But still. It's frikin Kuo. She's annoying. No deal.
Then I look at her competition. Ms. swampy over there with no personality other than kill shit because it's fun. She has the freaky accent and she seems more than just a little childish... reminds me of a certain family member of mine's outlook on life so I'm like "Nope. Do not approve."
Sure. Her character may get more depth is I accept her personal missions but as I stated from the get go, good guy first, bad guy second.
So I do my first mission with Kuo and her newfound powers. First off woah. She looks cute. Blue hair, nice clothes, Sub Zero arms. Heh. Then she gets all nice and flirty. Cole flirts back; she goes off on witty banter. It's awesome.
Oh and she can fly. Keeps showing me up as all I can do is hover slowly towards the ground. Damn I wish I could do that...
After we take down a graveyard full of baddies, I realize I LIKE this new Kuo! Yay! Aww. You have to go now Kuo? Well alright, we'll hang out again later! See ya!
Sigh...
I love you Agent Kuo. ^_^
Ahem. I mean Shiro loves you. I'm not weird like that... >.>
ONE MORE THING! I apologize for the crappy coloring. I forgot to use layers this time around and by the time I realized it I was already 3/4's of the way done so... Yeah. I'll do better next time.
Hello fellow Augmented Reality enthusiasts! (At least you better be if you're reading this.Just kidding!) You guys may know me as Rich Boy Cy. Cy is short for Cyberpunkish, and for those of you who may not be as financially sound as I am, you'll be thrilled to hear that this game is packed with tons of features. You don't have to be rich to access the good stuff, however the newest DLC is out now and I don't know about you, but oh man... Skarlet... Mmmm... Ahem!ANYWAY! It's time to get serious. Enter Gaming mode! HI-YA!
The game: Mortal Kombat
System I played it on: PS3
I will not lie to you my friends. I LOVE Mortal Kombat. I played it in the arcades as a youngling, I had them all on the SNES and 1 and 2 on the Sega, I played Mythologies, I even played the later 3-D entries on the PS2... Yes... They were bad, but at the same time I just didn’t care! I went into this game with high hopes, and I left feeling quite satisfied.In addition to the previous comments on all of the free kontent, it’s not the only reason I love this game. I mean c'mon! Ed Boon, during production, focused on listening to the fans rather than going the Rich Boy Cy rout and focusing solely on how much money he could make by generating a basic fighter and putting all of the special features in DLC. That takes heart! I couldn't see myself doing anything like that... My game, "Pay me for breathing my air IV", generates fifty million a month because I charge the player $10 a minute to play. In Mortal Kombat, all the on disk kontent is free.
The Krypt is HUGE, housing special fighting modes, unlockable kostumes, fatalities, and production art! (Sadly though... No Cooking with Scorpion part 2...). There's even a challenge tower, sporting a whopping 300 stages in which you komplete certain tasks with certain characters, spanning from making Johnny Cage look good, to defending yourself against a hoard of zombies as Stryker. Finishing all 300 stages unlocks a special something, but I won't spoil it for you.
Test your might is back, including new spin-offs such as test your sight and test your luck. Babalities are in as well, with new animated (and incredibly cute) actions. Oh! I almost forgot! X-Ray moves! Every character gets an X-Ray move! Sub Zero pulls out your Gall Bladder and finishes off with a skull shattering head-butt! Kabal zooms by and shatters your legs, following up by speeding behind you and striking you with his hook swords, using them to throw you across the screen! Yes. YES. This game is BLOODY AWESOME!
Oh but that's not all. The DLC has been coming out recently! None of the DLC is disk based either, so you aren't having to re-pay for the kontent. Skarlet, the sexy krimson clad ninja lady of my dreams has made an appearance. Don't forget Kenshi either! He's out now too! With plans for more characters to come soon, you should expect quite the fancy blood gorged feast!
So, if you haven't purchased this gem of a game yet, get on that! Meanwhile I'll be over here, bathing in my opponents’ blood with Skarlet. (Oh... so hot...) This is Rich Boy Cy, saying "FINISH HIM!!!"

Well hi there! I didn't see you come in! My name is Steve, but you can just call me Cyberpunkish, I mean it's a hell of a lot easier to say than Steve, Right? Right. Many of you may know me from... nowhere. I have yet to really make any online waves just yet. I hope to get some web cred with this magazine though! I shall be reviewing random things throughout our time together, mainly focusing on Video Game review, but also anything that I may find interesting...
My hobbies include Bird Watching, long walks on the beach, watching Anime with my girlfriend, playing all sorts of video games with my buds, building Gunpla, collecting anime figures, and pretty much anything related to Asuka from Evangelion (Don't tell anyone, but she be mai waifu...>.>)
That white haired dude you see next to me is Shiro. He'll be helping me out with my reviews. Lets hope he gets along with everyone... God knows I have a hell of a time trying to get the bastard to cooperate with me.
I'm a VERY new member here. Mike, Ruben, Akia, Mas, Elijah and Striker have been VERY nice and patient with me thus far. Hopefully I can live up to their expectations. I look forward to whatever you guys end up watching me do! Look forward to it!
