MegaManEffect

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Download Every now and then, just for kicks and giggles, I fire up MegaManEffect. Every time an application is launched thereafter, that app’s icon is presented with the music and animated background from Mega Man 2’s enemy intro screen. Fellow nerds will get a real kick out of this one.
