@Aflack: Likes slushies: I'm right with you. I don't understand the undying fanboyism attached to MegaMan. It was alright, not much more. The only one I liked was the one for the GameBoy.

Where are the NARC fanboys, hmm?

Thassodar

@Bernard McGraw:Agreed.

thefutureisnow

He looks like Gordon Freeman

generalsean

Gordon Freeman is Megaman?!

Chalice

I tried Megaman 9.

I didn't like it.

I know, I'm awful.

Aflack: Likes slushies

He looks somewhat like Gordon Freeman. Anyway, pretty nice and practical piece of fashion inspired by video games.

RtFusion

Eh... it works in a game but in real life it looks a bit special needs.

Bernard McGraw

@Cakey4242564:

Afraid not.

[www.merriam-webster.com]

Webster says otherwise. Me thinks you folks might just be confused as to the meaning.

PapaBear434

@Sam Smith: Playing it on the Wii. I hope you have an amazing plan for the xbox dpad problem, because this game is hard as nails with a good one.

Sunjammer

That is so freakin awesome! I need one! Imagine snowboardin with that! Just need megabuster gloves...

neo177117

@PapaBear434: It's also a knitted cap.

Cakey4242564

that would be sweet but, im afraid i would look weird in one. plus i got a big dome.

thebulletneverlies

@PapaBear434: Shit, my edits were too late!

Owen Good

Awesome as fuck. I want one. I also cannot wait for MM9 to hit XBL.

Sam Smith

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a toboggan is a sled. A big one, curved front end. All of my upbringing and childhood sledding memories in Northern Michigan says that it is.

And Wikipedia agrees with me.

PapaBear434

She knit him a sled? I think, perhaps, you mean "touque." :) Very cool, indeed.

nvision79

Epic.

And warm!

zkotaku

Oh man DO WANT. The Megaman Helmet cap.

shrek187

I don't suppose a couple more years of begging will get him some matching buster mittens.

muckamuck

Megafreeman is gonna blast them headcrabs with his Crowbarbuster!!!

@Cakey4242564: Usage Numbah Three FTW!!! ALSO A STOCKING CAP.

Owen Good

I really did think that was a photoshop of Gordon's head onto someone else's (megaman-hat-wearing) body when I first saw the picture.

sanzen

Thats just freaking amazing!

zigurat

@Aflack: Likes slushies: By "TRY" how how many Robot Masters did you get passed?

xpnet

@Sunjammer:
Yeah, the Wii is the only way to play. Plus, the wiimote is just like an NES pad.

Tannrar

@xpnet: He probably didn't like the gameplay style. Not everyone does, and you don't need to get past a certain number of Robot Masters to understand that.

For me, Megaman 9 was the first Megaman title I was able to actually like. I've tried almost every single Megaman game in existance, and I've never been able to enjoy any of them. But this game brings something new, I think.

Ashurahori

@Snowdaddy:
nice photoshop work

spookythemayor

Rise and shine, Megaman. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No-one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Megaman. Wake up and smell the ashes.

Snowdaddy

@PapaBear434: funny he addressed that in the article. Try reading.

quote from post:

BTW: Before any of you English majors attempt to correct me on the usage of toboggan: "3 - chiefly Southern & Midland: STOCKING CAP"

johnwonderbread

@zkotaku: Katarn?

Bernard McGraw

Megaman, maybe I'll buy you a beer after this is all over.

FilthyAssistant

@Snowdaddy: That's some fast photoshop action!

Cojo21

@spookythemayor: thank you sir.

Snowdaddy

wow his wife knits! she must be old! old wifes that knit megaman hats are awesome!

chewychomp

@Thunder-1:

Gordon, GORDON!

Thunder-1

Guys it's really not an accomplishment to "look" like Gordon Freeman. Just be tall, skinny and wear glasses and a beard = instant Gordan Freeman.

Thunder-1

Holy sh3t he does look just like Gordon Freeman.Maybe they should get him to play Gordon Freeman if there is ever a movie based on the game!

donrockwilder

I disagree that it looks "special needs"

This is basicly what you could sell at a snowboard shop and get 70 bucks for. It looks fucking awesome

evotech

Does it turn you into a hipster too?

NoBullet

You know, my friends always corrected me telling me that a toboggan was a sled, but I knew that it was a damn hat.

I need to go laugh in their face now, if you'll excuse me.

FigrotiLives

Knit him a megabuster and he'd be complete!

NeonLight

Hmm, Megaman + Gordan Freeman = Morgan Freeman? Ho snap *mind implodes*

Kanoopy

@nvision79: Alright! Someone else that uses that word! :)

Shyguy

Make her do another one, but now like if megaman had already found the head chip capsule :P

Mactheridon

My heart shattered when I heard it wasn't for sale. :-(

Sooku

Nice! I just started knitting a Sackboy-inspired hat, but the Megaman idea is even better.

Decibelle

My sis made this for me last year. I think it trumps it...

[photos-b.ak.facebook.com]

Benjammn

That's the best thing I've ever seen. I'm not in love to Mega Man or anything, but I'm jealous of that sweet cap.

UnholyAvenger

@Tannrar: I got it for PS3 and I haven't had any troubles with the D Pad, for what it's worth. Well, I suck at it; but not because of the D Pad.

dowingba

@Shyguy: Along with everyone in Canada!

dowingba

@johnwonderbread:

Funny, I thought he edited that in AFTER the post. Try thinking.

LittleBigPlaneteer

WTF IT'S GORDON FREEMAN

yamamoto114

Looks good :D

Crippen

one beatin', coming right up

ac2334

what a fool, tempting fate by venturing outside.

number_77

@chewychomp:
Wow, infallible logic. Just because someone knits does not mean that they are old. There's a huge movement going on right now with young people using traditional crafts (like knitting, crocheting, embroidery, etc) to create things inspired by popular culture, including video games.

Kotaku posts these crafts from time to time too, which leads me to believe that you are most likely trolling, and even though I recognize that I still feel the need to defend my fellow geeky crafters.

geekcentralstation

That's no ordinary man. He's the Snow Ranger, sent here to defend us from giant Ice Spiders.

Simple_Man

@Benjammn: no it doesn't. sorry

chewychomp

@geekcentralstation: there is nothing wrong with being old.

chewychomp

Not only is his wife awesome for this hat, but she's also pretty hot judging by the picture on her blog.

Lucky man.

casmith07

She should sell them! I'd buy one :D

Seinosuke

Gordan Freeman loves Mega Man...who knew?

Ryodestined

I think you'd be amazed how many Gamer Nerds look like Gordon Freeman.

And that includes me.

Zolbrod

If it was cold enough here I'd wear one.. and feel like a huge dork!

Shhteve

@thebulletneverlies:

Well.... Mega Man's head is pretty super-deformed, ain't it?

And as cool as this is.... to wear in public? Unacceptable. Sometimes, our own 'individuality' can make us look like special needs, as someone else pointed out.

Still, my inner (inner, not outer) nerd yearns for one of these.

turkish101

Aww, so close. It's inaccurate. It's missing the little square at the forehead before the long strip that goes across the top of your head. Still cool though, right on.

Pal

"3 - chiefly Southern & Midland: STOCKING CAP"

Huh; intelligence level up.

Petezah

If it makes you feel any better I'm from the south and say toboggan when referring to that type of hat too.

Graham

YOU GOT A NEW ITEM!

YOU GOT...ANNOYED WIFE!

Mister_Jack

Oh jeez, I'd do cruel, unspeakable things for a hat like that.

gregdoom

Now if only he had a Megabuster for his wiener.

Perfec7

@Ashurahori: it's a valid question, though. let the man answer.

alby13

@Pal: i didn't even notice i was so caught up in the awesomeness.

alby13

this is awesome. good looking out.

alby13

@LittleBigPlaneteer: meh, the way Owen phrased it makes it sound like his explanation came before any challenges (ie "BEFORE anyone attemps to correct me")... at least that's what my thinking thought. Either way, no need for anyone to get snarky over this.

Herc

@dowingba: Except I am not Canadian. Must've forgotten to make that clear. That's why I don't usually post while on drowsiness inducing meds...

Shyguy

That guy looks swank in that hat.

I would not.

Noble-Asthmatic

a toboggan is a long knitted cone-shaped cap with a tassel or pom-pom worn especially for winter sports or play... I see no cones or pom-poms sir.

gomerkyle9

Awesome? Really?

DMBainbridge

Yes. Really.

ezcheezbandit

So... I called a friend over to show them this picture of Gordon Freeman BEFORE I read it looked like him.

Atsumi

I'm so jealous!

tehki

@chewychomp: Knitting has become a hobby amongst the youngsters, where have you been?

tehki

@HudoKudo: Totaly Epic, Totaly Warm, and Totaly Win

DO WANT!!!!!111

SPitFyRe666

@geekcentralstation: Just because someone knits does not mean they are old....

...yeah, just old fashioned. ...my girlfriend knits :(

corme

I want a mega man helmet lol

SolidSnakeSV

damn those would sell pretty fast

very nice

like13ninjas

@corme: yea if they're not old, and they like to knit, that is a sign of the apocalypse.
