Syl’s E-Can Refill 01: Mega Man and Clothing

No, this is not a rant about how Mega Man is always in underwear… This is about actual clothes with Mega Man inspired clothes. I was ready to blast how corny and foul MM clothing is and how you’ll probably get laughed at in public if you’re seen wearing it. Then I looked some stuff up… And I came to the conclusion that Mega Man clothes are actually pretty dope (add that to the fact that my wardrobe contains a MM shirt as seen to the right… Shut up*).

Here’s a list of various articles Mega Man Fans have been seen in:

A really comfortable looking Mega Man hat, knitted with love by his girlfriend. No, really.
A bright yellow MM scarf that is (was?) being sold for 150 bucks. Again, another one-of-a-kind.
A girl donning a 20th anniversary shirt signed by Inafune.
The MM9 boxart. It’ll invoke conversation about Mega Man, that’s for sure.
You beat all 8, huh? They probably haven’t even made it to the Wily stages.
Another custom-made shirt. Air-brushed goodness.
Step your shoe game up! ‘Electric Blue’ lo-top Pumas? Yes, please.
I honestly don’t think even women would wear this. Some dudes will like the boobs, I guess.
Pretty straight-forward and to the point.
A basic Capcom shirt. That’s a shot of the back of mine. Doesn’t seem to be made anymore, though.**
Ginrei basically wins the competition for best hat, hands down (heads up?).

A word of advice, though. DON’T do the iron-on transfer from a printed out picture. They ruin very quickly and your don’t want to be out in public wearing this or this.

And there you have it. A Mega Man style guide. Really, Mega Man fans have it good compared to some other brands. I mean, Disgaea is cool and all, but you’re not going to catch me in a XXXXXXL Fatlus shirt.

* I just remembered I have a wristband or two that has MM on it, SMH… And a bunch of other stuff I thought was cool when I was 14.

** I got this from pre-ordering BN4… I guess they felt sorry for me and threw in a free shirt.

Syl’s E-Can Refill 00: The Introduction

So, I was finally allowed to wreak havoc on the site and claim it as my own, damning it for all eternity have my own critic column, attacking carefully analyzing the Mega Man franchise. It’s called Syl’s E-Can Refill. Can’t you tell how awesome it’ll be by the picture? Yeah, I agree, it will be amazing.

I’m actually only doing this because Heat threatened to send me to Antarctica. While I don’t really mind the weather, I heard there’s no electricity there, and what would I do if I couldn’t watch 90210 & Oprah*!? So, to keep from being deported, I am your entertainment for however long it takes me to get Capcom to stop making Mega Man spin-offs. What’s next, Mega Man Fall Out Boy? Mega Man Tom Cruise? Mega Man Megan Fox? Actually, that last one doesn’t sound too damn bad.

So what am I going to talk about? Haha! As if you had to ask! .. Actually, I figured I’d just rant and somehow fit Mega Man into it. Sounds good, right? This is supposed to be in the same vein as the old Fiber articles DM used to post. I wanted to call this the New Fiber… But I’m afraid he’ll appear out of nowhere and send Zeroes to get me and force me to stop jocking his idea. Hey, it’s happened before.

What can I say… I’m a musician, not a writer. But this still looks a lot better than no 90210, so get used to it.

Oh, by the way. Those E-Can drinks? DISGUSTING. Sheesh.

*I don’t actually watch Oprah.
