Ohh, me so phony

I'm likely the biggest fake-fan of Mega Man you'll ever come across.

I mean, I do really like him, but not for the expected reasons. You know, namely his games.

Nah, I'm a fan of his celebrity status. I think it's interesting how some characters persevere throughout the ages. Mario is an obvious example, while Mega Man is a freak-deeky example. Mario games at least are consistant in their quality, without digging too far into his sordid PC game past, they're generally pretty baaaadddddddddd (said in an awesome way). But no one seems to even like MM's games anymore, his hardcorest fans may own all three copies of the latest Battle Nexus game, but they sure aren't enjoying them.

If I could provide a more believable reason to explain my adoration, it'd have to be the series's art. It's beautiful, and a really great example of awesome-sauce or whatever those 15-year-olds dinkin' around in Call of Duty 4 say. Dinks.

There's something to say about a cast largely comprised of cyborgs that remains so unique. I hope no one ever runs out of ways for one dude to shooter some painful light at another dude.

So when I see a product like this, I can't help but say "Yeah, I'd drink that. I don't know jack all about his games, but I'll drink whatever he's schilling."

Pixel art is so cool, and when that pixel is holding something real, I has to haves it. While I drank it, people around me would say "Whoa, an energy tank, cool. Remember that one in the tree in Mega Man 2?" And I'd nod my head, telling him yes while my mind races to answer any possible follow-up questions. "Funny," he'd say, "there's wasn't any trees in Mega Man 2!" Crap. What do I do? I do what Mega Man would do, dish out some heat.

I don't have a cannon arm though, so I just took my deserved pummeling.

So don't be like me, like a game based on its merits, not it's promo art.
