The Grand Prize includes: Volumes 1 through 3 of the Adult Swim animated series, 4 Harvey Birdman character bobble heads and 4 qualities metal posters depicting popular episodes including The “Dabba Don” and “Shaggy Busted,” in addition to the fine game he has already preordered.

We all have our struggles with Mega Man bosses, but as this video makes clear, not enough of us are forming metal bands to release songs about it. Original Team Nekokan version (sans subtitles) here. More Mega Ma-frustration in song form here and here.
Keiji Inafune, the creator of Mega Man, Onimusha, Dead Rising and many more, joins us on this special festive podcast to answer listener questions about his work at Capcom, the future of Mega Man, and the best game he’s played this year.
Fun fact: This Podcast was actually recorded on the day of Mega Man 20th anniversary, which makes having Inafune-san, the father of Mega Man, on the Podcast all the more cool!
A one-of-a-kind Mega Man drawing from Keiji Inafune himself? Do want. Although it appears to have been colored in by Ben Judd, read on for how you can get your filthy little paws on the art (check out all the podcasts and submit your questions HERE):

Just yesterday over lunch there were discussions on GnG being one of the best, yet one of the hardest, games ever, and today I find it combined with another candidate for “Best Game Evar” (Though much easier). Staticreator has, true to his/her name, created a cool Mega Man vs Ghosts N Goblins Flash game. The remixed GnG music accompanying the game is also top notch.
