Sep 30 2009 Video Game Character Facebook Statuses
These are a bunch of video game character Facebook status updates. I thought they were pretty cute. And if you haven't already, you should go join the Geekologie Facebook page to help convince my parents they're not the only ones that read this. Mom: I know most of the comments are you, you don't have to keep doing it (but you should if you really love me). And dad: for the last time, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to keep the flaming to a minimum.
5 Video Game Status Updates [collegehumor]
Thanks to Hayes, who, for the tip, get's a complimentary status update. Make it read, "Still cool".
Aug 28 2009 I'd Sleep Under That: Mega Man 2 Chain Mail
From the same maker as last week's chain mail chess set comes this awesome Mega Man 2 chain mail blanket/wall hanging. I know this little picture doesn't do it justice so click HERE to see a higher res version. Then, click HERE to discover life's greatest secrets. Oh, sorry, hyperlink must be broken (tricked you!).
After one and a half years, the Megaman II Project is finally finished. The dimensions are 38" x 45", as it hangs on the wall, and its total weight is over 16 pounds.Ring Count: 63,608
Can you imagine crimping 63,000 little rings together? Because I can't. And not just because I'd probably swallow a half dozen for every ten I got together, but I would. I LIKE TO PUT THINGS IN MY MOUTH, OKAY? Just saying, good thing I can type without looking. Those consonants -- delicioso!

Thanks to NES--still-the-best, who won't even talk to you about playing Genesis.
Jun 29 2009 Mini Pews: Cutest Mega Man Cosplay EVER
I remember getting this tip a while ago but I forgot to post it because sometimes my inbox gets so full of boner pill spam that I lose track of things. So I apologize to whoever it was that sent it then. I heart you. Anyway, the cutest Mega Man ever.
My son dressed up in his Mega Man Costume learning to say PEW
Did your heart just go pitter patter? That might be the most beautiful sentence I've ever read. Minus the part about having a kid.
Thanks to KPW and whoever sent me this before, who, *PEW PEW!* Haha, gotcha.
Jun 16 2009 You + Me - Clothes + Mario = Romance
This handmade bed blanket was created by Etsy seller punzie and looks great (punzie also does custom work and has a bunch of other designs if you look in the sold items section). Granted, it would look even better with you underneath it. I'm not talking dead hooker style either, I'm talking real romantical like. What do you say, come over around 8? We'll fire up some oldschool NES, drink some sparkling cider (my parents don't allow alcohol in the house) and then retire to my luxurious twin-size. Oooh, you like a little role playing, do you? Well then, let me just slip into my Raccoon Mario costume. Okay, now pretend you're a garbage can.
Hit the jump for a ton more blankets (including some Zelda, Mega Man and Metroid action) and another link to the Etsy store.
May 29 2009 Mega Man In Partial 3-D: Mega Man 2.5D!
This is a little video demo of Mega Man 2.5D, which is a Mega Man game in partial 3-D that I believe some guy is actually making. Which....is it wrong I got a boner? Wait -- don't answer, I want to savor this.
Hit the jump for another, longer video.

Apr 5 2009 Mega Man 2: From Start To Finish In Song
NOTE: Video is NSFW due to language.
This is a song about beating all the bosses in Mega Man 2 and winning the game. It's long though, so the best way to view it is to skip around unless you really have seven minutes to kill. Also, it's NSFW because they say lots of bad words. But that's okay, because it's Sunday and you're not at work are you? No, you're in church on your Blackberry. So, fire away champ -- it's what Jesus would do.*
*This claim has not been approved by the Vatican, or even a local pastor. In fact, I haven't run it by anyone. Except the dog, who just looked at me quizzically before going back to licking herself. Which, at least in my eyes, is a total yes.
Thanks to Leif, Alex, Kevin and Geoff, who once stuck sticks in Fan Man's blades and Fan Man secretly liked it.
Mar 27 2009 Customize!: iGoogle Video Game Themes
Want to customize your Googling experience with some sweet gaming art? Well now you can thanks to a series of iGoogle gaming themes. Pick from Zelda, Mega Man, Mario, Street Fighter, Spore, WoW, Animal Crossing and a bunch more. Use a different one every day of the week! Or don't, I don't care. It's not like I'm going to beat you over the head if you don't. Hey, what's that!?!? PEW PEW! Haha -- I didn't say anything about lasers!
Thanks to dealmaker7783, Douche McAllister and Julian, who all opted for Zelda because they know what's up.
Mar 19 2009 WTF Was That?: 'Put It On A Hook' A Rap Video Featuring Mario, Link And Mega Man
NOTE: VIDEO IS PROBABLY NSFW DUE TO LANGUAGE
I have no idea what I just watched but it had Mario, Link, and Megaman standing around drinking beer, taking bong hits and fishing. Which makes it the coolest thing I've seen all day not.*
*BBW holding 'I Heart Geekologie Sign' excluded.

Thanks again to Julian, who once caught a great white by dangling his hammerhead in the water. HIYO!
Feb 11 2009 Oldschool!: Mega Man For The Atari 2600
Is this what Mega Man would look like played on an Atari 2600? Yes, yes it is. And if you doubt it you can take the issue up with my fis--POW! He said you're wrong. What's that? Oh, and that your nose is bleeding.
Thanks to Anthony, who claims he beat The Oregon Trail but I suspect he actually died of dysentery.
Nov 7 2008 A Sweet Stop-Motion Mega Man Video
This is a wicked Mega Man (or Rockman) stop motion video made with paper and kickass. I liked it. It got kind of silly towards the end, but it's Friday, and sometimes it's good to get a little silly at the end. Obviously I'm talking about drinking at work. You have my permission!
Rockman 1 [blip]
Thanks to VeryLiberating, who doesn't wear pants at work.
Oct 6 2008 Mega Man 3 Song, In Extended Remix Form!
Remember the Mega Man 3 song we posted a few weeks ago? Well now Brentalfloss (the man responsible) has made an extended remix. This is it, and the new content starts halfway through. It has some bad words in it though, so it may be NSFW, but it's definitely SFACSF (safe for a college sausage fest).
Thanks to Brentalfloss, the man behind the curtain.
Sep 8 2008 More Mega Man Action With Lyrics
Remember Brentalfloss's awesome Mega Man 3 song? Well he's back, this time with a Mega Man 2 inspired ditty. It's funny, so watch and listen. But for you folks at work: he does say ass and taint. I guess what I'm getting at is this: turn the speakers up full blast. And now, a Geekologie Writer original poem inspired by Mega Man.
Mega Man, he is blue.
Mega Man, robotic shoe.
Mega Man, lots of fight.
Rage, rage against the dying of Dr. Light.
Suck it Dylan Thomas, you just got poetried!
Thanks again to Brentalfloss, who made the song.
Aug 22 2008 What If The Mega Man 3 Theme Had Lyrics?
Would it sound like this? Brentalfloss, in his excitement for the upcoming release of Mega Man 9, made this rendition of the theme from Mega Man 3. Which is ironic, because I was playing Mega Man 3 in between posts yesterday on FireNes. Shadow Man tore me a new blue robotic asshole.

Thanks to Brent, who actually made the song.
Aug 21 2008 Mega Man Energy Drink Coming Soon
It seems like every video game character out there wants his own damn energy drink these days. So it comes as no surprise that Mega Man (who actually looks like a little boy) in getting one to coincide with the release of Mega Man 9. At first glance the product looks like an energy cell, but a closer inspection reveals it's just a freaking can.
The drink will be called "Rockman E Can Drink" because it's coming out in Japan and Mega Man is called Rockman over there. The drink will cost ¥137, or about $1.25 a can. No word on what it tastes like, though.
Ha, that's easy -- if it's anything like the majority of other energy drinks, it'll taste like Dr. Wily's taint.

May 28 2008 Bubble Man Bedroom From Mega Man 2
This is the bedroom of a Mega Man fanboy who painted it look like Bubble Man's level from Mega Man 2.
This is what the bedroom of my old apartment looked like. Three months of measuring, stenciling, painting, and retouching well spent!
The guy that did it also does covers of Mega Man songs, so you can go to his myspace music page here if that's your scene. If that's not your scene we could always just hang out in the food court at the mall and make fun of people. Now don't get me wrong -- I love Mega Man just as much as the next kid who grew up in the 80's and whose parents used the NES as a babysitter, but this just isn't for me. Zelda bedroom, sure. But I think we can all agree a Zelda themed room would be the baddest ass thing ever, and wouldn't handicap your chances of scoring with the ladies. This one probably does. Dude must have a member the size of an RV.
Hit the jump for a few more pictures, including night mode.
Mar 25 2008 Mega Man 2 Scarf Sadly Doesn't Come With That Sultry Model Or The Awesome Hat
This is a Mega Man 2 themed scarf that has all the robot bosses on it. As you can see there's, um, Fan Man. And Frog Dude. Was that sacrilegious? Fine, Air Man and Bubble man. It's for sale if you want it, but it costs $150. It is, however, one of a kind. It is not, however, not bright yellow. Damn I'm in love with that girl in the picture. It's like she's looking into my soul and likes what she sees. Which is probably the potato salad and Fruit Rollup I had for breakfast.
One more of the detail after the jump.
