No games, but something for Josh

Hey guys,

I forgot until the last minute that I won't be here for games this weekend. I'll be in San Diego for a self defense thing with Jessica's dad. So, VG is cancelled (at least as far as holding it at the usual place).

And now, time for Josh to put a diaper on:

Christmassy stuff

Hey guys, quick thought here:

Maybe some night/nights before Christmas comes around we should spend the evening doing something cool for our wives/mothers/other-important-female-people-in-our-lives. I have no real idea what. It could be something manly and handy, or it could be something sensitive and culinary, or whatever. What do you think? If we planned far enough ahead we could probably come up with something cool that our [choose your relationship] would appreciate and that we could make personal and on the cheap.

Any thoughts?

P.S. Any votes on what we have to eat this week? I have money, and if I don't get a good suggestion I'm going to be creative about it.

Mega Animation

I've always thought that the best way to portray Mega Man is through cell animation, Anime to be specific. I'm not a big fan of Anime but for some subject matter it is very appropriate. There was an American animated Mega Man cartoon series and it wasn't bad; however, it took artistic liberties with the design of the characters in order to give a more "American" look to it.

When it comes to the an animated version of Mega Man (or Rock Man in Japan) I really want it to be literal. Here are a few animated clips of cartoons that I think hits right on the nose.





And just for fun, here's the first Japanese commercial for the first Mega Man game.

I was surfing for pictures of Anglerfish (of all things) and came across this:



Naturally I thought of eBag

More Mega!

While we're on a Mega Man theme right now, here are some mega-cool links!
GamesRadar has created a whole series of Mega Man Tributes, including a mega collection of wallpapers.

And this guy has actually built the Mega Man helmet!
