Mega Man 9 Box Art Poster Giveaway!

UPDATE: Winners have been announced! Click here to see! (scroll to the bottom of the thread)

If you don't love this Mega Man 9 retro-style box art by Gerald de Jesus, you are truly dead inside

By now, I'm sure you've seen our big photo gallery from the 2008 "I Am 8-Bit" opening reception (if not, click here to see it). Well, in addition to getting to see all of that amazing video game inspired artwork in person along with the excellent chiptunes courtesy of Leeni, they were giving away Mega Man 9 posters. Now, for those of you who aren't familiar with the classic Mega Man games (and if you're not, you should remedy that as soon as possible), the series was notorious for having some of the most hilariously awful box art. Well, in celebration of the new Mega Man 9 game coming out on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console, an artist by the name of Gerald de Jesus created the amazingly accurate retro-style box art for the game. I'm hoping Capcom will do a limited edition release of the game on classic NES cartridges, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up for that. Fortunately, I'll always have the poster for the game... and now some of you can too.

I'm giving away three (3) of these super snazzy Mega Man 9 posters, but in order to be one of the winners you need to come up with a new robot master. No you don't have to draw one (though, should you feel inclined, feel free to do so), all you need to do is simply come up with a name for the robot master and describe its unique abilities. For those of you not quite as familiar with the Mega Man series, I suggest checking this list to make sure your idea for a robot master hasn't already been done in one of the games. You can enter as many times as you like, just post your entries in this thread. We'll be judging these entries solely on creativity, so good luck!

This contest ends on August 26th, 2008.

Rainbow Brite And The Star Stealer.

by -RoG- on 08/09/2008, 6:10 am

I wonder if that Krys character riding on the robotic horse, On-X, was Capcom's inspiration for Mega Man.

Just when I thought the New Beverly Cinema couldn't possibly get any better with their midnight movies, I find out that they are actually having a showing of Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer tonight. Clearly, no parent is going to be taking their kids to a midnight screening of the movie, so I can only expect nothing but the rowdiest of audiences to attend this event.

So the question I ask all of you is simple: Can you think of a better way to spend your Saturday midnight-and-beyond hours than in a theater with a bunch of fellow insomniacs as they laugh and yell at Rainbow Brite on the big screen? Now before you rush to answer that question, I require that you watch the following music video from the movie in its entirety: (more...)

So When’s The Earthquake Party?

by -RoG- on 07/29/2008, 3:59 pm

THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

HELP! I'M BURIED UNDER A TON OF RUBBLE AND I JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE MY LAPTOP AND I THOUGHT THAT MY CHANCES OF BEING SAVED WOULD BE GREATLY IMPROVED IF I MADE A BLOG POST RATHER THAN TRYING TO CONTACT THE PROPER AUTHORITIES!

Yeah, yeah... I'm AOK, but thanks a lot to those of you who sent in concerned emails though. Man was that a weird feeling. The earthquake here in L.A. lasted a good 20-25 seconds and really shook the building I'm in like crazy. I was honestly surprised the power stayed on and nothing broke. A quick survey of our place showed that the ONLY thing to fall off of the shelves was this little figure of a horrified woman (from the Horrified B-Movie Victims figure set). Something about seeing the terror on her face as she lay helplessly on the floor after the earthquake just made me laugh out loud. Talk about a perfect landing...

Well now that the Graboids have stopped causing tremors beneath my feet, I'll return to my work.

Survey: Did any of you experience this earthquake too? Have you ever been in another earthquake or some kind of natural disaster before? If so, what was it like for ya? Share your stories!

Oh The Sights You’ll See…

Mustache + Gun = FUN. It's simple mathematics, people...

I took a bazillion some odd photos at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con and I promise it will be everything you guys have come to expect from me over the years. But with so many photos, comes a price. The price of waiting. Can you handle it? Yes... yes indeed you can. I'm hoping to have it all done by the end of this week, but after being out of town since last Wednesday, I have a lot of things to catch up on and might not have everything up online until early next week. There will be regular article updates to I-Mockery this week though, so you at least have that to look forward to. In the meantime, I chose another completely random picture from the convention to post up above. Mustache. Gun.

Talk amongst yourselves...

At The San Diego Comic-Con!

By the power of Greyskull!

So we arrived at the Comic-Con and while I have no time to really say much, I thought I'd share this photo of Mattel's badass Castle Greyskull booth entrance. Just a little taste of the massive photo gallery that I'll be putting together and hope to have online by the end of next week. I've already taken a ton of photos that you guys are gonna love and I've also ran into some I-Mockery readers. If you're gonna be wandering around the convention during the next 3 days, be sure to say hey if you see me. I have a few lil' freebies that I'm handing out to people as usual.

Anywho, lots to do, so I'm gonna head off. I'll try to post a few more teaser pics over the next few days if time permits.

The Midnight Ridazz Of Los Angeles. Plus, The Dark Knight & San Diego Comic-Con.

That man was later informed that this is not how one rides a bike.

This past Saturday night, I went on my first bike ride with the Midnight Ridazz of Los Angeles for their latest "C.R.A.N.K. Mob" ride. Mind you, I haven't gone riding on a bicycle in years and I generally avoid any events that are spelled like "ridazz" or "rydaz", but the chance to ride all over the city on a bike with hundreds of other crazy people in the wee hours of the night is something I wasn't about to pass up. And I'm glad I didn't, because it was fun as hell and somehow I wasn't even sore the next day, which is surprising since we rode roughly 22 miles (probably not a lot for cycling . Some of the highlights included passing through a parking garage, riding through the Venice canals, seeing angry motorists who didn't appreciate the traffic we caused, stopping by a Vons grocery store which resulted in the bikers creating a line that went all the way to the back of the store since only one register was open, giving a girl dressed in a tiger suit a can of cat food that I purchased in the grocery store, and literally blocking off the entire street in front of the Santa Monica pier until the cops came and broke everything up. Thanks to my friend George who has a spare mountain bike I can use for now, I'll definitely be doing this again in the future.

Since no photos can really do the event justice, here's a lil' mix of video footage that I managed to take at various points during the night. The video is quickly thrown together, but it should help give you a better idea of what it's like: (more...)
