mega man energy drink helps you beat down robot masters

To herald the launch of much-anticipated game Mega Man 9, an officially licensed Mega Man sports/energy drink is coming out in Japan.

The drink will be called “Rockman E Can Drink” because it’s coming out in Japan and Mega Man is called Rockman over there. The drink will cost ¥137, or about $1.25 a can. No word on what it tastes like, though.

This drink brings to mind past retro video game-inspired energy drinks such as Super Mario Power-Up and Donkey Kong Jungle Juice. All of this gives me a great idea. Why doesn’t someone open up a place that has arcade games and serves arcade cocktails? The chef could dress like the chef from BurgerTime, and the waiters could dress like angry pickle slices. Great idea, no?

super mario goomba cufflinks are hot, or not

These pixelated cufflinks feature the dreaded goombas of Super Mario Bros. lore.

Etsy crafter pixelparty makes them from shrink plastic (like ShrinkyDinks?) and silver-tone hardware. He hilariously notes that “…if mario doesn’t get his princess (who seems to be castle hopping, maybe she’s the player and mario is getting played) well then he’ll never be a player. there just aren’t that many girls into mustaches these days.” Amen, my friend, amen. Also, overalls are not flattering on a grown man. I’m just saying.

If you’ve got more of a penchant for koopas than goombas, don’t fear- those are available as well.

You can buy them at pixelparty’s shop for $16. He’s open to custom orders… that means you’re on deck, taunting BurgerTime pickle slice…
