Description
Climb. Climb to the top of the world.And as you stand tall, you will see that when you fall...
You will fall from a height most men will never reach.
---
The Fall, 8-bit fail edition.
You know, a lack of streets is really a problem when someone's on a motorcycle. (I made the 'cycle by editing another vehicle.) I couldn't find any good tiles to copy-paste.
So you get the screen showing Joe. The City's the bright, MM2 colors cause things haven't gone bad just yet.

That song makes me cry every time. And seeing a picture of Joe riding forever, as dynamically as ever, on the face of a giant screen, I can't help but hope for a day when a hero like him is the one who is held above them all.

He died the way he lived, Doing what he saw in his heart as right.

The Fall is without a doubt the most powerful song in Act II in my opinion. Those lyrics you've quoted fill the heart with both excitement and disgust. It says you will fail, but in failing you will accomplish more than most men ever did but "succeeding".

Yeah...Murphy said the Fall was his favorite too. Don't see them as disgusting, though; more saddening. poor Joe.

Its disgusting in that its sort of gut-wrenching. You feel empowered yet hopeless, which really throws your emotions for a loop.

No problem. I'm now going to draw some art for 'The Sons of fate'.

Awesome! I wrote Protomen stories and did an art meme, too.

This is great- I really like all the Protomen pictures you've done
Lame as it is, I CRY my eyes out almost every time I listen to this song.
There's just something so tragically devastating about Joe and all the hope he had... And to have it all taken away.
The Protomen really are great story tellers; it's so easy to get lost in it. I would so love to see them live some day, but I imagine Australia won't be on their list for some time to come, if ever.

^^ Thank you! You should read the stories. One is a monologue and the other is called Hands.
And poor Joe... ;__;

^_^ Good point.
Just curious, are you into the Megaman X series? I've been thinking of writing a story around X5, but I'm not sure if I will yet. I have the ideas all laid out, though. I could tell you about it if you want.

I told you already on the forum, but this looks really neat.
I love the tones - purple, violet, that low-saturated, almost grey sky. And The Fall is one of my favourite tracks of ACT II (not that I have non-favourite, but... you know what I mean.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it paid off in the end. This is really cool!

Joe! ;_;
Anyway, neat picture. Sticking to purples and greys make it more effective. I've always pictured Joe's motobike being like the waterscooters the Joes use from MM5's Waveman stage. Kinda bulky and 80s-like.
And pink! /jk

And I basically took the MM5 wavebike and modified it. ^^ Small world.

Where can I listen to this online? I'm not able to get my hands on Act II. In other words, I failed as a Proto-fan.

D: Our heroes are in trouble. The Protomen are in dire straits. Their bus lost her brakes, and Commander's keybpoard broke down. So they need all the money they can get.
You can buy a digital copy on Itunes and Amazon, or the physical copy on their website. I don't think the songs are online yet. Only ones I know that are on Youtube are The Good Docotr, the Hounds, and Breaking Out. I could be wrong, though.
...If you really can't get ahold of it, give me your email and I can send 'em to you. I'm not too happy about it, though.

I think I can get it off iTunes. I doubt any local places will have it, since they aren't a well-known band.

Yeah, same. I got the physical copy off their website at soundmachine.
