Izzat you, Gizoid? (SA3 spoiler)

Is the Gizoid-like henchman robot in Sonic Advance 3 supposed to be the same one that Sonic trained n'stuff in Sonic Battle? Seemed odd to have it being all hippety-hoppety-happy with the birds and sunshine and and shit (well, maybe not as much shit), if it weren't.
So Cream playing with an easily-triggered doomsday weapon counts as a happy ending, then? 'kay.

According to the website, Gmerl was designed by Eggman based on his studies of Emerl. Which I guess would make it an evolution of his Phi series.
So no, it's not the same robot.

So, that's a definite RIP for Emerl.
I actually feel better about that than I would if that were actually Emerl revived.

Makes more sense than yet another miraculous recovery of a dead character.
But then why did he double-cross Eggman to go blow up stuff on his own? Oh, silly me. ALL his robots do that. The doctor seriously needs to invent a working loyalty program.

I think he just needs to cut the budget in the AI r&d department.

Seems Tails repaired him, and also programmed him to be good.

Heheh, I never thought of that.
Does anyone actually know the correct spelling of Gemerl/Gmel/whatever, as I heard his name is never actually mentioned in the game itself.

Aren't gizoids the sick buzzing things in Animal Crossing, or have I lost my mind again?

No, those are Gyroids. Or something like that.

I've lost my mind, then. Must have returned too many comic books. You'll find me in the corner, rocking back and forth, dribbling and muttering "Thanks Much!".

I heared it's spelled "Gimel".

Is that ripping off Dr. Wily? He made Bass based on plans of Mega Man and many suggests he made Zero based on plans of X.

I really would love to see an end-all, be-all showdown between Eggman and Wily. It's time to get the question of who is truly the better mustached mad robotics scientist to rest.

They're both equally as persistent, but my money would be on Eggman. His plots are usually more grand-scale than Wily's.
Then again, I've beaten every Sonic game, whereas I have not once beaten a Mega Man game (ever), so maybe Wily's on to something.

I would bet on Wily, I mean Eggman has some nice robots but none of them are really that powerful save a few such as Metal Sonic... But Wily has like 77 Robot Masters, then there is Bass... And Wily also has the crazy eyebrows...

And a cape.

True, but for every cool one like Gemini Man or Cut Man, there are three lame ones like Toad Man and Dust Man. They still kick my ass, but they're lame.

Hey Toad Man and Dust Man have reasons for being lame... They were Soviet and as such Cossack was on a tight budget... Also most of the money was most likely spent on Vodka...

As kiddy-friendly and Digimonish as the EXE series is - you can't fault Gateman.
He has a fucking dorway to Hell in HIS CHEST. That trumps just about any other character with "man" in his name, ever.
It's a crying shame he was replaced by Bowlman later in the series. That's right. The guy who owned the superhero who had a gate to Hell IN HIS CHEST traded him in for a fucking bowling robot.

A gate to hell in his chest? Sounds like the goatse guy, except... Y'know, on his chest.

Well, not quite. The gate was mechanical. It would flip open and demons would reach out of his chest and claw his enemies.
And as far as I know, Gateman was never fucked in the chest.

No Bowl Man wasn't owned by anyone... Mr. Famous did get a new Navi, Punk... All he is a saw-blade which I don't think is too bad... But Bowl Man was wierd because some kid made him... As for being fucked in the chest he did have "kids" coming out of it so it could be like a vagina...

Ah. I thought Meijin had Bowlman in one version of the game, and Punk in another.
It's a good thing PDAs aren't sentient, as in the world of Rockman.EXE. If the world of Rockman.EXE was real, Navis would do nothing more than retrieve porn 24/7.
And of course, there'd be tons of different Navis all with the same name - "Penisman.EXE"

No, in fact Meijin only showed up in Black/Blue... Lamp Man(White) was like Bowl Man, they were just there by themselves... As for Navis getting me porn, that would be creepy to know that anything knows what kind of porn I look at... Just those eyes always looking at you with disgust... I would format the bitch after a week...
