How do I love three, Mega Man? Let me count the ways.
Actually, let you count the ways. To commemorate the release of Mega Man 9, we’re giving away some fun Capcom swag…and entering to win is super easy. In fact, we’re giving you two ways to win!
First, we’ll give away a Mega Man 9 t-shirt to the person who can come up with the best nine reasons they love Mega Man. His baby blue eyes, his lustrous hair, his inability to shoot diagonally, the list is virtually endless! What’s not to like about this dude? Leave a comment with the top 9 reasons you love Mega Man, and we’ll pick our favorite!
Maybe professing your love isn’t your thing. If you have problems with commitment, there’s another way to win some Mega Man goods. Pick any of the Mega Man images below and give it a caption. Leave your best caption as a comment below, and we’ll pick our favorite as winner!
Both contests run until Friday, October 10, 2008 at noon – so start commenting now! (And remember, you must use a real email address. We’ll never share it, but that’s how we’ll contact you if you win).
