Saturday, October 16 at GR2 in Los Angeles, Meat Bun will be co-hosting Game Night 3, an outdoor party filled with video games, music and delicious pork buns, with Giant Robot and Attract Mode. We’ll be playing Super Street Fighter IV, Super Meat Boy and other games with Super in the title on screens large and small, while freshly prepared snacks from the nearby gr/eats are scarfed down for extra health.

We’ll also be offering one of our newest designs, Osu! Giant Robot, with proceeds from the sales of our shirt going to help support Giant Robot. We’ll also have long out of print designs and new stuff for sale at Giant Robot, Meat Bun’s first retail location. Don’t miss it!

Game Night 3 runs from 7 to 10pm on October 16 at:

Giant Robot Los Angeles (GR2)
2062 Sawtelle Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA

OSU!!!

Thor the Warrior is conspicuously missing in action, Thyra the Valkyrie says she has a headache, and Questor the Elf will have to sit his pansy-ass down. Tonight it’s all about Merlin.

The “Wizards ‘n’ Warriors” collection gets an extra life with the Wizard from the co-op classic Gauntlet, presented in both cosmic black and sky blue. Day or night, Meat Bun has got you covered!

Who knew a Texas Instruments TMS5220C speech chip would produce some of gaming’s most memorable quotes — ever. We always thought the ominous announcer from Gauntlet and the voices from 720 and Paperboy sounded strangely familiar.

Found this in Topman while shopping at London today and was immediately struck by a shocking feeling of eye-bashing familiarity. Thanks to the brand Two Bucks for the flattering… homage, I guess.

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!
