EVO 2K10 at Caesars Palace was a blast! Las Vegas in July, on the other hand, was a blast furnace. Most sane people opt to avoid having their faces melted off. But that would have meant missing out on the best Street Fighter action we have ever seen.

The man who reigned supreme was none other than Daigo “The Beast” Umehara. He is the real deal, if you weren’t yet convinced by his 20+ first place tournament championships. And yes, he will sign your breast if you ask politely. But honestly, the level of Super Street Fighter IV play on display at EVO 2010 was jaw-dropping. It wasn’t all a cakewalk for Daigo though. Here’s a semi-final match that proves this point, punctuated by a storm of fireballs:

We are definitely hooked. The guys that ran EVO are great. And the competitors were spectacular. As for Vegas in July, we’ll just have to keep those obnoxious 190 Octane frozen drinks they sell by the yard in hand at all times.

It’s here! Our Summer 2010 collection, “Wizards ‘n Warriors,” has finally been summoned to the Meat Bun online store, filled with homages to some of our favorite magic users and 8-bit heroes from some of our all-time favorite video games.

Whether your weapon of choice is a whip, as in the grisly Beheaded, an axe, as wielded by the adorably vengeful Thunderhead, or even a Ninjawarrior’s kunai, the new line has your warrior needs covered. On the magical side, if you prefer to turn your enemies into eggplants with an ancient Greek curse, the Wizard may be more your style.

To see the full “Wizards ‘n Warriors” line-up, head over to the store.

For the Kotaku fan who hasn’t been able to secure a Kotaku-tan tee, we have good news–Meat Bun has restocked! Long sold out sizes and colors are back in the online store, ready to show off your Kotaku pride and knowledge of obscure Japanese fan art. Grab one before they sell out again!

Things are heating up at Meat Bun HQ, with our Spring/Summer line just around the corner, almost ready to whip its way into the online store. Want to be the first to know about the arrival of the “Wizards ‘n Warriors” collection? Then make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter!

If you’re just finding us from Gamepro–those lovely folks were kind enough to feature us in the latest issue of the mag (the one with the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II blow-out)–welcome! Let us know what you think. Oh, and follow us on Twitter and be our best Facebook bud!

We love what the UGTL guys are cooking up. Mix in a little i-am-8-bit and dash of EVO, and you are in for one tasty recipe. Add to the fact that this dish is cooked entirely with the freshest local SoCal ingredients, and it doesn’t get any better for you than this. May we interest you in $1 tacos with your SSFIV? Yes, please, thank you! Here’s a taste of UGTL 5:

UGTL 6 is right around the corner on Saturday, April 24th. It’s new location is the swank Rec Center Studio in Echo Park. Meat Bun will be on hand, and we are personally inviting you to come hang out with us. See you there!

Hey, are you going to PAX East this year? Then make sure to stop by the 2 Player Productions and Attract Mode booth, where the lovely Adam Robezzoli and the personable Matt “Fort90” Hawkins will be selling the finest of wares, including zines, posters, indie game soundtracks and, last but not least, our very own Meat Bun tees!

It’s true! Meat Bun will be making a special trip to the inaugural Penny Arcade Expo in Boston, Massachusetts this weekend, courtesy of Attract Mode, a chance to get your hands on some classic favorites and long-out-of-print product. Look for the 2 Player Productions booth in the Band Land area if you want to stock up on some video game culture goods. Just do it early! Quantities are wicked limited and the stickers are free.

PAX East is totally happening March 26-28 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. You should go and give high-fives to Adam and Matt for us!
