absolutely adorable crochet link with no creator...
My girlfriend sent me this and she said that where she found it had no attribution, so shit, but damn if it isn’t the cutest little craft Link ever.
All that crazy 3D talk at CES pales in comparison with the above ad. Nintendo wanted to compete with Sega’s 3D glasses and both companies failed miserably, but you gotta admit that Mario falling on his ass because of a battle space ship coming out of the TV is win.
“well actualy i didnt see it at e3 cuz i didnt get to go DAMMIT lol mayb next yr...”
– via RPGS be broke. I heartily enjoy him calling the Sony motion controller “ghei” and pointing out that it should be called Project Materia which is hilarious, because it kind of does look like Final Fantasy VII materia.
LOST GAME
The real LOST game blew. They didn’t even use the real actor’s voices for the characters. Talk about taking a trip to lamesville instead of the island.
The details on this mock box art by Robert Penney are superb, like Jin’s watch, and Charlies drugs! Wonderful memories.
If you have yet to see the best show EVAR you should probably get a free Netflix trial and stream all...
Consollection
This is beyond cool. Clearly the most concise, simple, visually appealing, and definitive source on the history of home consoles.
An absolute nerd paradise in HTML.

My 10th grade high school math class was kind of a joke. Mostly because I didn’t pay attention, because all I was doing was discussing video games with the guy next to me, Tom.
It was also kind of a joke because my teacher really didn’t care if we did our work, as long as we exerted some effort into the class, and of course we could do ridiculously easy projects worth a lot of...

Good Book Get! Lowboy
John Wray’s Lowboy is one of my favorite novels of 2009 and it happens to be my favorite novel of paranoid schizophrenia ever. It’s a depressing tour of the psyche of a young sixteen year old schizo off of his meds and the writing matches seamlessly with his conscience.
At times the novel can be hard to read but once it begins to roll it becomes a snowball and eventually it...

Pure Joy: Legend of Princess
Joakim Sandberg must really love Zelda because he has a devoted an amazing game to it. Imagine if The Legend of Zelda was never a console game, but an arcade game instead. This is what you would get. Currently it’s only for PC which is such a bummer, but I’ve played it on my MacBook via Parallels and it’s worked pretty well.
It screams polish and fanboyish devotion to the...
deal breaker: harvest moon: sunshine islands
So I started playing the newest DS Harvest Moon game, Sunshine Islands and I have to say that I no longer can play it. Why? Because Natsume decided to only include stylus controls to move your character around! You can’t use the directional pad and it’s a bummer, because unlike Zelda’s fairly accurate stylus controls, this game is the butts to move your character around.

awesome lego booth at ces
I usually find CES to be cool, but most if not all of the stuff really isn’t that practical for me, and would probably end up being clutter if I bought it. However, I thought this was really cool.
According to OhGizmo!, Lego has a booth this year where you can customize and build your own minifig! How cool.

three photos monday: wntr part one
Every Monday I will post three photos I have taken from the week before. This is an effort to add structure to my photography habit and to polish my skills. I hope you enjoy it at least half as much as I do.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Is fun.
Has floaty controls.
Is fun.
Isn’t very original.
Is fun.
Pisses me off.
Is fun.
Regardless of how you feel about New Super Mario Bros. Wii, you’d have to be a pretty pathetic person to not enjoy it, because as far as multiplayer platformers go, it’s the absolute best.
Better than LittleBigPlanet you ask? Yeah I think so, and I would hope so since...
