* The circumstances behind the release of the "Breaking Out" demo. A fan poked somewhere he wasn't supposed to go and ripped a low-quality MP3 of the song, posting it on the forums. The Protomen edited out his post, then released a high-quality version in their newsletter, reasoning that if everyone was going to have one they may as well have it in good quality.

* In one of the Cover Up's story tracks, Light is asked about Emily and says she was a fighter. In an earlier track, he had this to say.

* At one show, Panther fell ill to biological weaponry and was unable to sing, and the Nightwalker stayed behind to tend to him. So KILROY recruited two audience members. One, codenamed the Ringer, played keyboard on the Stand. And the other, codenamed Steve, ''played Megaman in Vengeance''. The next day, Panther personally thanked them, especially Steve...''and called him back up for an encore''.

* Beard's Going Nowhere is mostly fun. Then you get to the parts involving Emily, and it becomes funny, sweet, and heartbreaking all at once.
