When the original FF forum run by Crave bit the dust, Dr. Manbot was there (Issue #7, Oct. 28, 2002).  Incidentally, this article further developed Ted Mentor's fledgling magic act...

DR. MAN BOT DESTROYS CRAVE'S FF FORUMS
BAD, Staff Writer

Dr. Man Bot, the incredibly powerful, yet amazingly inept super presidential candidate, took responsibility yesterday for the apparant demise of Crave's "My Freedom Force" message boards.

In a brief statement, Dr. Man Bot confessed: "Oops, my bad", and then turned it over to his legal/spiritual advisor, Zapow. "Dr. Man Bot was testing two new powers he recently discovered while eating a double burrito and a Big Gulp. He nicknamed those powers the 'Super Gas' and the 'Wicked Pisser.' Unfortunately, he did not note the proximity of those tests to the Crave staff, resulting in half of them being hospitalized for various injuries. The remaining unharmed staff would have trouble trying to open a jar, let alone run a forum board. So, there ya go. Dr. Man Bot apologizes for any inconvenience and would like to remind everybody that things were getting a little icky over there anyway".

Further questions were turned over to Ted Mentor, who briefly distracted everybody with balloon animals while Zapow and DMB made their getaway.

Here's today's fave - (more for the pics than the article, heh) from Issue #9 (Dec. 2, 2002):

DR. MANBOT TIRES OF WAITING FOR FREEDOM FORCE SEQUEL
Tortuga, Staff Writer


Itching to get back into video gaming, Dr. Man Bot signed deals with several major developers to appear in upcoming releases as well as patched versions of classic PC games. "Irrational's gonna have to do some major dealing now...the Dr. Manbot era of computer entertainment has dawned and they're gonna have to wake up!" commented Dr. Man Bot. "Seriously, I'm looking forward to whatever Irrational has in store, but I gotta somehow build some savings so my heirs will be able to pay the bills that they'll be dealing with over the next few weeks!"

Zapow negotiated with Bioware, Maxis, Ensemble Studios and Sierra to include Dr. Man Bot in a few key releases. "Bioware has created a whole new mission in Neverwinter Nights where you need to help Dr. Manbot find the local brothel. They threw him into Baldur's Gate as well just for kicks." Zapow explained. "In Sims Online, DMB is an NPC who harasses partyers like the mime, but way worse. "Ensemble Studios has included Dr. Manbot as one of the "god" units in Age of Mythology -- the Egyptians won't know what hit them when Dr. Man Bot unleashes his massive gas attack."

Dr. Manbot's one personal request was to be added to long forgotten adventure classic Leisure Suit Larry. "I'd do that one for free!" the Doctor exclaimed. Sierra promised to drum up the software and work on adding Dr. Manbot to the game.

Unsure of what to do with the newfound wealth, Dr. Manbot's accountant Ted Mentor invested all the money in Bre-X shares. "Bre-X shares are really cheap right now so it's a great time to buy." It was reported that the biggest amount of money the accountant had handled previous to the settlement was when his girlfriend lent him $10 to wash her car.
