1. Mega Man -- Robots
   For newbies who don't know much about the series, Mega Man is a blue robot with a heart of gold. In Japan, his name was Rock Man. His sister robot was named Roll. Rock and Roll. Oh, the wit.
2. Mega Man Iii -- Robot Masters
   Dr. Light's newest creation, Mega Man X, is activated. X unsuccessfully attempts to befriend the cast members. X takes mental control of several of the robotic cast members in order to force them to be his friends. George unsuccessfully attacks X. X manages to assimilate all the robots on the planet. Mike shows up, and X is able to assimilate him due to his cybernetic nature. This gives X the knowledge he needs to take over humans, and he begins to assimilate all humans on the planet.
3. Mega Man V -- Robot Masters
   In order to defeat his brother, Mega Man defeated all the eight Robot Masters. However, the plot changed when Mega Man found out that Proto Man escaped from Dr. Wily’s castle and Proto Man’s replica, Dark Man, was the real villain behind all the attacks not Proto Man. At this point Mega Man was starting to face Dark Man. Dark Man proved to be a formidable enemy, even more than Mega Man was able to handle. So, with Proto Man’s help Mega Man defeats Dark Man and once again Mega Man saves the day.
4. Mega Man 8 -- Robot Masters
   The set up to Mega Man 8 is all too familiar. Dr. Wily is back with a whole slew of new robot baddies, each with unique special powers. One by one, Mega Man must get through the various levels, make it to the boss baddie, defeat him and steal his power. The new ability that Mega Man acquires will no doubt come in handy in another level down the road, so finding the right order to pick up the power ups is essential.
5. Mega Man 6 -- Robot Masters
   While developing new bosses, the Mega Man Naming Committee had the choice of either Cowboy Man or Tomahawk Man for Mega Man 6. Cowboy Man got scalped at the last minute, so Tomahawk Man won the position of being blasted to bits by Mega Man. He stands in one place and throws tomahawks and feathers at you. Then he jumps around and does it again. It's strange, but it's almost like fighting a Native Crash Man. Whatever the case may be, Tomahawk Man was about as efficient as Yamato Man and Knight Man, and 9th place is as good as it gets for a predictable robot. The trick to beating this guy is to get the Cavalry Blade from Colonel Man or the Rifle Gun from The Rifleman. If you can't get either, try the Hand Gun you earned from Brisco County Jr. Man.
6. Mega Man & Bass -- Robot Masters
   Join Mega Man and Bass’s fight for humankind as you face off with the newest menace in town - Robot King! King’s captured all of the data plans for Dr. Wily’s creations. Ultra Top Secret and very dangerous when placed in the wrong hands, they’ll equip King with all the knowledge he needs to build his own indestructible army of robots. His main obsession is to crush and dominate humankind. Play as either Mega Man or Bass. [Capcom]
7. Pets -- Dogs
   Gary Dahl, as California advertising man, was having drinks with his buddies one night in April 1975 when the conversation turned to pets. As a lark, Mr. Dahl informed his friends that he considered dogs, cats, birds, and fish all a pain in the neck. They made a mess; they misbehaved; they cost too much money. He, on the other hand, had a pet rock, and it was an ideal pet - easy and cheap, and it had a great personality. His buddies started to riff with the off-the-wall idea nd pretty soon they were al tossing around the notion of a pet rock and all the things it was good for.
8. Vision (Artificial Intelligence)
   Computer Vision has influenced the field of Artificial Intelligence greatly. The Robocup tournament and ASIMO are examples of Artificial Intelligence using Computer Vision to its greatest extent. The Robocup tournament is a tournament for robot dogs playing soccer. To be able to play soccer, these dogs must be able to see the ball, then react to it accordingly. Engineers of these robot dogs have been challenged to create robot dogs who can beat the best soccer players at soccer in around fifty years.
9. Nikola Tesla -- Death
   Margaret Cheney's biography, "Tesla: Man Out of Time" chronicles the fascinating story of Tesla's life from his birth in Yugoslavia in 1856 to his death in New York in 1943. It uncovers the triumphs and tragedies of the visionary genius whose discoveries heralded the modern industrial age.
10. Doctor Who -- Stories
    During his adventures, the Doctor is almost always accompanied by companions who travel with him in the TARDIS. They come and go depending on storyline decisions and the availability of the actors who play them. The archetypal companion is female, young, and often in mortal danger. Many have gone against this mold... and some of the Doctor's more interesting companions have included a knife-wielding savage, a devious and cowardly schoolboy, a robot dog, and a tough teenager with a penchant for blowing things up with nitroglycerin. A few companions have died, emphasizing how dangerous it can be to travel with the Doctor.
