Hi, everyone. ~JSpengs here. (news wench)

As you know, this place hasn't been active for just a fraction more than 2 years now, and I just wanted to give this group and its watchers a VERY belated heads-up - it is time to say die.

To this group, I mean. This place is an empty shell and several people who were once part of this club, including our once leader, no longer even have Megas art on their own galleries. Not that I fault any of them; sometimes you just have to move on and I myself had fallen away from this fandom, too. But much like Christmas in Whoville, whether we were a part of it or not, whether it was still on the air or not, Megas love still lives in the hearts of many new and old fans alike.

I find it heart warming and inspiring that there are still fan artists out there for this little show. Makes me want to get back into it myself, as I feel that at this juncture of my artistry, I have become too scattered and varied in what I produce. But enough about me.

Many of you I'm sure have moved on either entirely or just to other groups. Which brings me to my next point. For those of you who are still in love with Megas, or wish to recapture the magic, I urge you to migrate over to Grimphantom's group ~Megas-XLR-Club if you haven't already. That place sees way more action and I tip my hat to his work and dedication. I remember back when he first showed up on the scene... and now, thanks to Grim there are artists scattered all over the dA community, from all walks of genres, who proudly display Kiva images for him. You sir, are awesome.


So, for the TL;DR crowd - This group is OFFICIALLY dead (obviously), please unwatch, and if you crave Megas, check out ~Megas-XLR-Club.



Some nuggets of interest:

~Cartoon Network is going to be releasing their answer to Kingdom Hearts possibly some time this fall. It is called Fusion Fall, and is an MMORPG (Think World of Warcraft). The story goes that there is a force that goes around consuming worlds and the next target on the menu is earth. You move about the CN universe, meeting and befriending your favorite characters - Dexter, C:CND, PPG, Ben10, EE&E, Foster's, etc. Megas makes a cameo (it gets attacked by an alien thingie and you may have to help it) but I don't know if you can then hang with our beloved XLR friends. You can check out the website here: [link] There is an option to sign up as a beta tester, but if this game is supposed to come out this fall, they may not need help. I signed up anyway.

~For those of you who have never heard of the Megas Livejournal, They have a link there, now here: [link] where you can download production music from Megas through Megaupload. It isn't a complete soundtrack exactly, but it has quite a selection and all labeled by notable 'appearances' in the show. Also includes an extended version of the theme.

~Also from the LJ, there is a Megas message board here: [link] click on Board Index to access the forum.

~Finally, even though Jetstream is crap now, Toonami UK still has a small bit of Megas stuff left here: [link] you can play the The MvU game, as well as the Atari/Colecovision style race and jester game. You can also view short clips of a show or two.

I will try to check this group every now and again to clean up and answer any comments that might result, but don't think that this group will spring back to life any time. There are better alternatives to reviving this place.


This is news wench, ~JSpengs, signing off.
