Both the candy and the cartoon, this character is from, are called Gummi(y) bears. Apparently the cartoon was inspired by the candy.

Well, that makes it your turn Miho

Alright. In the interest of moving forward, let's try this:

1. What is this character's name and what is he?

His name is Vile and he's a Maverick. A Reploid who's turned against the Maverick hunters. In other words he's a sentient robot turned villain.

2. Also, who is his main rival?

Mega man X would be the answer to this, I guess. Emphasis on guess

All correct, Wheri

Second image from the same game. This might help a bit.

Never even heard of this before but the hints did help quite a bit.

1. Orion Burger

2. They want to harvest fresh protein for their fast food chain.

I'm not too sure if the following is what you're looking for, but here goes:

3. There's a time limit on the puzzles where you have to gather the nessecary items to complete an 'intelligence test' that was introduced by the insistense of an 'alien-rights' group to make sure that intelligent species wouldn't be used in burgers. Due to one of these Planet Huggers messing with some time travel equipment you're caught in a form of time loop, causing you to retry the puzzles over and over again till you get it right.

Happy birthday, Wheri

This will most likely be an easy one:

1. The name of the game
2. The year of release
3. The developer
4. What is the profession of the main character

I'm not about to quit SoR until as long as there's no obvious replacement for it. Admittedly it's been rather empty for a while now and I've been looking at other games as well. If I've accomplished anything by that, it's getting a disheartened feeling about the genre. So it's still primarily SoR for me.

This also means that you can't count me out if we do find a game that a large part of our community is willing to try

Having a weekly SoR evening is a good idea in my opinion and wednesdays is fine with me.

Any chance, we could push it an hour? To 19:00 that is.
