Something I Did at Youmacon

I'm sorry for not posting stuff every day like I said I would. I've come to realize that it's really hard to try to cover a convention if it's something that interests you - you get distracted too easilly. I'll work on that some more. In the meantime, feel free to watch my fail at doing Dan Hibiki's Super Taunt.

I Was Frozen Today

While browsing remixes of various Mega Man songs (eh, I'm in a mood for it), I came upon this awesome little remix of Freezeman's stage music from Mega Man 7.

If you like what you hear, and want to download it along with other metal covers of game music (for free to, even better!) then go right here my friends:

Bleh

Sorry there haven't been many posts lately, even on weekends. However, pretty much assume from now on that all the posts (by me at least) will be on the weekends.

That being said, I don't really have much for this post - seeing as I'm half-awake and sick. The most I could scrounge up was a great remix of one of my favorite video game themes. Enjoy.

Man, I'd Love To Have That Jacket

I don't know who won that tournament, but whoever did is one lucky (expletive deleted).

More Dead Rising Stuff!

You know, I'd probably watch that.

This is No Time For Oglin' Pretty Games

Yep, it's official - Frank West is a playable character in Tatsunoko vs Capcom (which, by the way is coming out January 26th, 2010)

Gold 4 Jetpack

You know those annoying "Cash4Gold" (which according to my Earth Science teacher when I was a Fresheman, are scams) ads with the stiff acting you always see? Apparently Gamestop does, as they've done a parody of it for a perk for pre-ordering from them.

If you pre-order Dark Void from them, you will receive a special in-game gold jetpack that not only looks fancy but will give you unlimited boost.

Is it me, or does one of the guys in the ad look a lot like Vince Offer, of Sham Wow fame?

And sorry for no posts for the past week, we were having an unofficial, school-related hiatus.

Mega-Marathon

Right now, the charity fund raising group, The Speed Gamers are doing a live marathon of all the Mega Man games to raise money for The Earth Day Network.

If you'd like to fallow the live stream, you can watch it right here

*Correction*: It's not starting until 6 pm Central time, which means it's 7 for me

Trust Me, it's Worth It

Video Game - E3 2009 - Wii

In an interview with G4, Tatsunoko vs Capcom producer Ryota Niitsuma talked about the licensing issues facing them with bringing it to the US.

While at Comic Con, I spoke to one of the Capcom representatives about that. To paraphrase him, "It was a pain in the ass, but we got through it". Then later, at the Capcom Fighting Games panel I went to, I believe it was Ryota that said that they had so many things to deal with. Not only did they have to get the licences for the characters, but also their theme songs and their catchphrases.


However, he did love my Dan costume:
