Mate, it's literally the current year, hard drive space should not be an issue.

>>345062390
Wait, do you resize them every time?
Are you posting from a fucking calculator or something
>tfw always wanted a musical of Act 1 and 2
>tfw know it'd be incredibly difficult
>>345064314
Every time I listen to them I imagine how fucking great it would be if executed as a play. They certainly have more in common with plays than concept albums.tfw I imagine myself performing on stage in a protomen musical back in school every time I listen
I can't be the only one...
>>345065086
holy shit i'm not the only one that does this?
>>345064314
I wouldn't need anything else ever again.
A movie would also be great
>inb4 no
The Cover Up's in between tracks made a compelling case for an Act II movie
>>345065532
I fucking do this too.
>>345067149

>Mega Man movie confirmed in 2015
>rumors of it being a gritty reboot
IF IT'S A PROTOMEN MOVIE I WILL LITERALLY SHIT, PISS AND CUM AT THE SAME TIME
>>345068159
don't you do this to me cunt
don't you start this fire
>>345064314
Well I mean there's an American Idiot musical so anything is possible.
>>345061912
The greatest Act!
>Now we shall see
It will be worth
>if they will stand
All of this wait
>beside their band
We both know they'll never release it!
>You finally get it
>They'll never finish
>Act III is doomed
>this city made us
>yfw there are hints of spark fucking mandrill in it
you think they will try to add sigma and other future villians?

I actually began writing a stage adaptation in my last year of university
I gave up because it'd be stupid to try and write them without knowing how act 3 turns out, there's so much self-referencing between acts 1 and 2 you just know 3 is gonna be full of it
I don't know if anyone else has picked up on this, but there's a little three-note synth horn tune that plays at the end of Keep Quiet when you hear the hiss of the sniper's helmet being removed, and it's the same as the three-note whistle at the beginning of Unrest In The House Of Light
>>345072762
Holy shit, I always knew of the main motif but I thought that was only in Funeral and Unrest.
You could have easily done an Act I + II, just have II first or something.
>>345073017
I always thought of it as the protoverse version of protoman's whistle
In hindsight I could have kept going, the decision seemed to make sense at the time
Maybe I'll revisit it, act II has to come second though
>tfw seen them live 3 times
>tfw each time was worse than the last
The act 3 songs weren't as good as 1 and 2 either.
Thought this was a Viewtiful Joe 3 thread.
>>345067149
I don't really like The Stand as a musical piece.
I do think it has a shitload of emotion in it but I don't really enjoy listening to it like I do for the rest of both albums.
>>345063028
> come back when you have 4.5GB
Go buy a $5 flash drive faggot
>post yfw
"BUT ALL OF YOUR HEROES ARE GONE"
>>345073695
Of course, every time I listen to either Act, (I) have to listen all the way through. Act I is more guilty of pieces that rely on others and are more for emotion / narrative building than individual pieces than Act II, another example of this is Funeral for a Son.
>>345061912
Never.
>went to a concert of theirs in 2012
>question asked of when act 3
>they say 2013 they will focus solely on it
>It's been 4 years now and it's still not happened
>>345076338
they probably have scrapped and redone it several times over
they're a group of perfectionists
(this is a good thing)
boomp
>>345064314
>tfw everyone wants to make a stage play
>mfw I wanted to do a full animated series of each song
>mfw even started to storyboard that shit
>mfw I don't have enough free time to model everything and make it look good in 3D, and my 2D drawing skills are subpar
>>345073465
You're growing up and realizing that they were never good.
Do you remember?

HOLY SHIT, /v/!! Who are these Protomen? Why are they so awesome? Why have I never heard of them? I've got an erection and trying my best not to copulate with speakers.
>>345079547
That's what the thread is about, friendo.
/v/ generally loves The Protomen. They're a rock-opera band inspired by Mega Man but much more their own thing than, say, The Megas. Listen to Act I and II in succession, then listen again, again, again. There's so much detail in each Act.
Also the origin of "4AM threads" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vle64_qu2vQ)
>>345080087
Thanks a lot for explanation. Guess I gotta finally play more of Megaman games to get what's all the fuzz about.
>>345080087
>that flatline after the inspiring, joyous rise in the fall
>you fucking know the one
>try not to cry>cry a lot
>>345080572
I'm surprised that didn't make Light go NUCLEAR
