Win a Free Mangled Mind Geek Culture T-Shirt
I’m a geek and I say that with pride. I always wear that with pride, thanks to my collection of Super Mario t-shirts, as well as computer and other gaming-related apparel. You know you want that too.
That’s why I was quite glad when the guys behind Mangled Mind approached me. It’s an online store with “gear for the coming apocalypse.” At this time, they feature about 14 different t-shirt designs, each more awesome than the one before it.
And you can win one for free…
Like, for instance, you could pick up this killer Wii Fat tee. Admit it. You’ve figured out that the best way to play Wii Sports: Tennis is to plant your ass on the couch and flick your wrist.
And yes, Mangled Mind has agreed to send one free t-shirt to one lucky reader of Hadouken Online. You can pick any of their designs too, in case the Wii Fat doesn’t tickle your fancy.
To enter:
- Follow @HadoukenOnline on Twitter
- Send out this tweet: “I just entered to win a Mangled Mind geeky t-shirt from @HadoukenOnline. You can enter too – http://bit.ly/q0bvES #hadoukentee”
And that’s it! Make sure you are following us on Twitter, because we’ll be contacting the winner via DM. The contest is open to anyone in the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska. Entries close on August 18th.
Good luck!
SSF4:AE and MvC3 EVO 2K11 Video Highlights
What’s that? You weren’t glued to the EVO live stream over the weekend? That’s okay, I guess, since I’ve pulled together some of the highlights from the weekend’s action.
Starting on the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 side, 8-year-old Noah really stole the show by breaking the top 50 out of a field of 1,500 competitors. This kid has some crazy fighting game future:
And here is Justin Wong getting eliminated from MvC3, despite being the biggest favorite going into the tournament:
The MvC3 grand final between eventual winner Viscant and runner-up PR Rog was something to behold too. Here’s the second part of the grand final. How PR Rog manages to get the reset (coming out of the losers bracket) is amazing:
And what about the Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition tournament? It also had well over 1,000 competitors, but everyone was betting that Daigo “The Beast” Umehara (using Yun) would be able to three-peat this championship. And then, he ran into the charismatic Poongko of South Korea. Beast killer!
The SSFIV:AE grand finals came down to Latif (C. Viper) and Fuudo (Fei Long). I’ll let you watch the video, bearing in mind that Latif was the one who effectively eliminated Poongko, Justin Wong, Tokido and Daigo.
Mortal Kombat Fatalities, Stage Fatalities, and Babalities
Want to enjoy all the delicious gore offered by the new Mortal Kombat game, but can’t be bothered to actually beat your opponents and learn the moves? Yeah, we get you. That’s why there are videos that just show off the blood, guts, dismemberment, and infants for you. Toasty!
They’re just montages and not “real” game footage, but the animations should be the same in the actual game itself.

What’s your favorite finisher?
