  • We’re heading back to Sawtelle Avenue this weekend for the latest Giant Robot Game Night. GR2 will host Game Night 7 this Saturday, December 3 featuring two great Polytron Corporation games: the long awaited FEZ and crazy 3D head-tracking experience superHYPERCUBE.

    Oh, and bring your Nintendo 3DS for some serious StreetPass fun.

    This Saturday will also see the kick-off of the newest Meat Bun pop-up shop at GR2. This will be your first chance to get all-new Meat Bun stuff from the forthcoming Cute ‘Em Up line. More previews of that soon.

    Here’s the relevant details, Angelenos and Southern Californians.

  • Those are the relevant details! If you would like to join us at Game Night 6, come to GR2 in Los Angeles, CA on September 17. The Meat Bun Pop Up Shop pops up for one full month on Sawtelle Boulevard. We’ll have out of stock tees on hand that you won’t be able to get anywhere else.

  • Still Recovering from EVO 2K11

    Posted: 08/07/2011

    Was 2011 the best Evolution Championship Series ever? Maybe! It was certainly one of our favorites, hosting the world’s best Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Tekken 6 and Mortal Kombat players. Meat Bun was fortunate enough to be in attendance once again this year, watching an 8-year-old MvC3 phenom named Noah send fighting game vets three times his age home with his impressive Hulk skills. Latif and Fuudo dazzled the crowd with impressive runs in Street Fighter IV. It was so, as the kids say, hype.

    Meat Bun was there, of course, representing with the official EVO 2011 tee and all-new gear, which quickly sold out, thanks to huge crowds of virtual fighters and spectators.

    Jason and Mike were there, betting cash on fights and previewing some of the new Meat Bun line inspired by Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Mega Man and more.

    Master Adon player GamerBee stopped by the booth, grabbing a new “Beautiful Spring Propaganda” tee.

    The triple J–Jay Jay and Jared–stopped by in full cosplay glory, showing a little love.

    Even Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono stopped by (pictured with his companion Blanka), showing some trademark excitement for “Emperor of Muay Thai.” Don’t be surprised if you see Ono-san sporting a new Street Fighter-inspired wardrobe in the coming weeks.

    We even ran into Street Fighter player/model/Crimson Viper cosplayer Kayo Satoh! *AHEM!*

    Thanks to everyone at EVO 2011 for making this another awesome year, with big shout outs to the Cannons, MrWizard, Seth Killian, Wes, Hector, Daigo, Shino and everyone else who made this year another one to remember. See you next year!

  • Playing Skullgirls at GR2

    Thanks to Haunted Temple’s Skulls of the Shogun and Reverge Labs’ Skullgirls, Giant Robot’s Game Night 5 was a big old success. Our late June Game Night was one of the biggest yet, with folks swarming the game stations indoors and outdoors, helping us stay open and running way later than planned.

    Credit to Adam Robezzoli of Attract Mode fame and the Angry Bananas Extra thanks to the big crowds of game enthusiasts, game developers and Meat Bun fans for coming out to show their support of indie games and local game events. Take a look at some of the snapshots from the night’s event, with way more over at the Giant Robot blog. (There are a few Meat Bun sneak peeks at the next couple lines in here, if you’re curious!)

  • Scenes from ReveLAtions

    Posted: 06/26/2011

    Tournament Legacy’s ReveLAtions tournament went down just after E3 2011 in Los Angeles, a chance for the best of the best (of the best) fighting game players to win big money, big prizes. Meat Bun was there to represent and offer a sneak peak at some of our future Street Fighter-inspired designs. (Coming soon. (Promise.))

    There’s Daigo Umehara, holding up a fresh Meat Bun tee, training for the eventual holding of things that he’d have to do at the end of the Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition tourney.

    The inexhaustible Jason was there, holding down the fort.

    Just a few of the winners from ReveLAtions. Can you spot the new Meat Bun gear?

    Daigo again, holding up the requisite giant novelty check.

    Thanks to the Tournament Legacy crew, Mad Catz, Broken Tier and everyone else at RevLA for being great hosts and friends. Next time, we’ll see you at EVO 2K11.

  • That’s right! We’re going back to GR2 this weekend to help present another glorious night of video gaming at Game Night 5. Our next gathering, a joint effort with our friends at Giant Robot, Attract Mode and Angry Bananas, will feature two upcoming indie greats, Reverge Labs Skullgirls and Haunted Temple Games Skulls of the Shogun.

    As a bonus/side effect, there will be some serious Nintendo 3DS StreetPassing going on. So bring your 3DS!

    We may even have some new Meat Bun stuff for sale. Maybe!

    It all happens this Saturday, June 25 2011, from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. Be there!
