Welcome people, and gather around as we celebrate the Mega Man PC Website: Dr. Cossack's Lab eighth anniversary! This year was a bit special as two long-awaited projects were made available. First of all, the Rockboard translation was finally completed, giving you access to one of the very few non-translated Mega Man games. Second, the ever-requested resume feature was added to the oekaki board to allow people to spread out a drawing over several days, if not weeks.

The oncoming year should be as interesting. The first obvious addition is the mini-contest annonced a few days ago only. Who knows, if this one goes well enough, a second one could be planned! There's another major feature underway for this website, which has yet to be unveiled. Stay tuned!

Continuing its long-standing tradition of making far more sequels than are necessary, Capcom has set up a preview page for the third installment in the Star Force series (Ryusei no Rockman in Japan).

There's not much there as of right now, aside from a fancy flash page and a downloadable wallpaper. But, now we know it's coming. And if you have any sense, you'll probably see Star Force 4 coming from a mile away, as well.

May 2008 is the website's anniversary, and as such, I'm now announcing a new drawing event on the oekaki board: a mini-contest!

This one is quite a bit different from the last contest done on this website, hence the name "mini-contest". Instead of a challenge based on skill, this is a challenge based on participation and luck: anyone who submits a valid picture through the month, which fits with the given theme, will be entered to win a 20$ Amazon.com gift card. This gives a chance to win to anyone interested enough in participating. The full details, along with what is considered a "valid picture", are available in the latest oekaki board announcement.

The contest begins now and ends on May 31st, 2008 at 23:59:59 according to Eastern time.

To everyone who decides to enter: good luck!

Fear not, visitors, for we are back to normal!

What you might have witnessed in the last 24 hours was none other than my latest attempt at an April's Fools Day prank. Those curious about the details of the event can get more information on this topic of the message board.

Completing the set, the maps for Mega Man Battle Network 6 have been reordered. Now matching the pages for the other games of the same series, the page lists the areas in the order they should be visited at first.

Capcom announced this week at its Digital Day 08 event that Mega Man Star Force 2: Zerker x Ninja and Zerker x Saurian would see US release this coming June at a $30 price point. A final release date has not yet been revealed.

The Truth Corner has been expanded with a new entry: Future games. This aims to clear up the status of the various Mega Man series, and from which future announcements can be expected.

Strazicic, who previously contributed some FanArt to the site, came back to me with another set of impressive mixed scenes. All of them feature several characters from the various Mega Man series, along with some external cameos and original designs. He also sent it clearer scans of his three original pictures. All of these are available in his
dedicated gallery.

I'd like to use this update to remind you of the now-available FanArt-Oekaki link, which allows you to link your FanArt gallery with your oekaki profile. You can read the details on the original news item. If you sent in some FanArt before, and are registered on the oekaki board, be sure to drop me a line!
