Missed you, man! I will listen tomorrow at work. I am intrigued by this concept. My kids grew up playing Super Mario, Metroid, etc. But the 2 biggest favorites here at our house were MegaMan and Final Fantasy. My kids were crazy about video games back then. I even played Mega Man and Mega Man 2 was a joy. Super Mario helped me get through some tough times in the late 80s. What a wonderful game. But Mega Man 2, well that was probably my favorite, an absolutely amazing and fun experience. I started playing video games when the only thing around was a dot getting batted back and forth across a tv screen by 2 small vertical lines. As a young adult I "advanced" to an Atari 2600 and played such gems as Pitfall, Dolphin, and Spider-Man. Then my kids were born and they had just about every console made at one time or another. The older consoles were relegated to boxes and totes. Everything from that era seems quaint now in a time where very powerful PCs and consoles throw photo-realistic images, lifelike animation, and Virtual reality at the player. It's truly an amazing time to be a gamer. But I digress. I'm always excited to see what goodies you've cooked up when I see a thread with your name attached to it. You seem to always have thoughtful participation from some well respected players here and I find it an entertaining read. Keep it coming, buddy.

Thank you, gentlemen!

This project has been a lot of fun, admittedly it's also been just another excuse to create Custom Dials again. I actually got to play some Heroclix the past couple of weeks as a friend of mine and I have been rocking some of the new Batman: The Animated Series pieces. Not sure we're playing up to snuff with the new rules and such, but similar to these Dial Designs, it's all about fun anyway

The one set of Heroclix I still play whenever I can are of course the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Sets. I haven't gotten any of the recent set, but this next design is one I thought of when the Sets were first released (finally, after so many years of anxiously waiting if Wizkids would!) Now, it's not lost on me that Team Bases are not allowed anymore, but I could care less. Because the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were meant for a Team Base, so ... I went ahead and took it upon myself to make one ENJOY!

I'm assuming this goes by the standard Team Base rules, with each equipped character costing 5 extra points (it was 5, right?)? I'd love to see what the dials for Solo Adventure Turtles would be like.

Yeah, Team Bases are no longer around and I understand that not many are complaining (faced a Zombie Team Base more than once in my day) but hopefully this one is just balanced and fun - I mean, the Turtles are just perfect for a Team Base. As far the points and such, intention was each additional figure was 5 points to add to the Base itself (not sure if that's accurate or not ) For the individual pieces, I actually designed a Turtles Set right before Wizkids announced they were making one themselves. I even had Custom Cards made, along with repainting and minimal reworking of some Heroclix sculpts into pieces for the Set. You can find that Set and some pictures of the Sculpts and such HERE

As for the music, this project is all in fun and I myself am still learning and growing with music - I have no musical training whatsoever and I tried my hand at bass guitar in high school once but got frustrated and put it down. I picked up Digital Music in 2014 since I had purchased a MacBook Pro and it came with GarageBand. Figured I would give it a shot since Trent Reznor has always been my favorite musician and what he's done with digital music and sounds was nothing short of inspiring. So, for those of you that care to follow you can find me on Instagram (@i3ruce_Wayne) where I post the videos of the song constructs themselves

For this next Design, I'm hoping would fit right in with @No-Name's MEGA MAN CUSTOM DIAL THREAD that he/she has been building on here - there was just no way I would make an EP based on Old School Video Game Music and not try my own version of the Dr. Wily Theme ...

Then I listened to Rockman and immediately sent it to my younger son. Everything about this post put me in a happy place especially after a particularly irritating week at work. I want to say that this dial is perfect. The trait is inspired and the Mega Arm special power is outstanding. I would buy this set in a heartbeat! Also, thanks for the link to No-Name's Megaman thread. Lot's of great stuff there and I don't know how I missed it in the first place. Keep having fun!

Thank You, everyone, it means a lot

The Dr. Wily Theme Song was a lot of fun and building my first ever Mega Man Dial was a blast as well. I've been a little sidetracked lately as one of my best friends from high school and I are putting together a "band" or joint project, at least. Yup, we'll be those guys in their late 30s in a band, LoL

In the meantime I'm down to the last 2 Songs/Dials for the EP/Set and admittedly I was going to post this one last - but it's just so much fun and it's Labor Day Weekend so I figured I'd post it now

Enjoy and if you're fortunate to spend time with family and friends this weekend, cheers!
