Hey, It’s President Obama And Star Fox’s Girlfriend, Part 2

by Matthew Edward Hawkins

So where were we? Oh yes; tons and tons of random weirdo game shit (here’s part one in case you missed it, btw)…
________________________________________________________________________________

- Back to Figure.fm, some noteworthy cosplay, including…

- From Germany apparently; sexy Day of the Tentacle cosplay

- Not sure where this Sengoku Basara cosplay is from. But does it really matter?

- Back to TTDILA; highlights from a custom NES cart art show. Easily my fave would have to be this dynamic duo…

- Unfortunately, as much cool as the video game art scene is on that end, there’s pretentious twats all over I guess.

- Courtesy of Tokyo Hunter, check out these hawt Mega Man Zero and Legends figures…

… I also dig this fan favorite from X, though the Okamiden pillow wins the prize…

- I wonder if they’re as nice and soft as the slippers…

- Via JAHPEACEFUL666

His Xbox one is pretty gruesome, so be careful. He also found this curiosity

- Via Tumblr, lol…

- Speaking lol, let’s give it up for Korea and their dedication to Starcraft!

- And then you have this

- Unfortunately, it’s no joke, at least according to one expert: “Video games are destroying Asian men?s sex lives.”

- Meanwhile, in France, check out this recent video game exhibit held their, via their interactive Shockwave site.

- Back to Peter Berkman: Heavy Rain cosplay

- Plus a very good use for GoldenEye for the N64.

- And a comic about a dad that’s way too into Dance Dance Revolutions.

- Regarding what his usually known for, this is easily my fave Anamanaguchi song (dare I say it was the only real good thing from the abomination that was the Scott Pilgrim game, aside from the super sexy pixel work of course) crossed with one of everyone’s favorite YouTube vids of last summer.

- Here’s a tweet from everyone’s favorite outspoken film critic, Roger Ebert, in which one really begins to understand why he might have any ill will towards video games.

- If you’re a gamer, you more than likely use Netflix streaming, which probably means you watch Law & Order SVU, and are therefore an Ice T fan. And not just because he’s by far the game conscious celeb out there.

- Courtesy of Roy Blakely, Rei from Evangelion as a Monster Hunter.

- Thanks to Mike Nowak, I now know that there’s a black metal band called Shadow of the Colossus!

- When I first saw this scene, I found it both fascinating, but also a little nerve racking. Which is why I almost wish I hadn’t seen the follow-up

- Derek Yu was the one to bring up these super sweet 3D models of Ikaruga

- Meanwhile, this real deal version is simply a thing of beauty…

- Never before has the #1 entry for top 25 sexiest video game tattoos ever been so deserving of it’s spot…

- They made a Tokyo Bayside Shakedown video game?!?!?!

- This other game, that’s about making your own comics on the DS, also sounds awesome. But you know the drill: a snowball’s chance.

- Game Gear + Nintendo 64 = the N GEAR 64

- From GamOvr, an Excitebike, IRL

- And one of the nicest pieces of video game furniture that I can remember

- This Portal mirror ain’t half bad though…

- How about a gigantic Nintendo Entertainment Table? Hmmm…

- A few folks might remember seeing this originally on Kotaku; the Nintendo Super Chair that my buddy Ed was selling on eBay!

- Pokemon taiyaki!

- Meet the 72 year old that’s better at Resident Evil than you are.

- Remember when Love Plus was the rage in Japan, threatening to shut the entire country down due to its trio of polygonal high school hotties’ effects on single dudes throughout the country? I guess it’s a good thing that the sequel has bombed, but let’s relive the past via Sankaku Complex’s look at its creepy fans that managed to get face time in the media. Perhaps too much so!

- Love Plus ain’t the only to disenfranchise their userbase; Idol Master 2 has also jumped the shark (they’re adding boys… great).

- Sticking with the SC, I absolutely adore the first image in this Kinect post (NSFW, but then again, I’m guessing you all knew that).

- Their coverage of the Hatsune Miku PS3 title last year was also superb, mostly due to their emphasis on the most important part

- I wonder how the latest Strike Witches game for the DS turned out? I’m guessing it sucked.

- Though as stated many times before, the greatest thing about that place is how they deliever the real, inside story. Then again, it’s hardly a shocker to hear anyone say the Tekken movie sucks.

- It’s also the place to get questions answered, such as, why characters in JRPGs are always children.

- Sucks to hear, but that’s just how it goes: anime is still not super popular in America, especially when it comes to games.

- And of course, what mention of the SC is complete without cosplay from the mother land

- Meanwhile, back in America, Japanator’s coverage REALLY makes me wish I had gone to Otakon this past summer

- There is simply nothing more genius than Vincent Diamante’s YouTube vids taken at an Anime Los Angeles, with my favorite being this gang of Pokemon cosplayers messing around.

- Hey, Sanodg has a Sound Cloud! With SO much good stuff.

- It’s a giant building that looks just like a PS3!

- For you glitch fans out there, check out the Super Bugtendo.

- Definitely one of the better random assortment of video game “stuff” in a music video, IMHO.

- Semi-related: one of the better attempts at a video game mixtape IMHO.

- For fans of King of Fighters only.

- The Resident Evil CanCan.

- It’s the cast of Persona 1, 3, and 4 selling Pocky. Of course.

- Bonus MAD: everyone from Persona 3 & 4, getting all drunk.

- Mega Man X Elton John? Yup.

- Lord of the Rings X Japan? Okay.

- Left 4 Dead X K-On? LOL Japan!

- And Left 4 Dead X Gradius…

- I hate to bring up Bayonetta once again, but this image by Adam Huges is too good not to share…

Along with these fine piece by Efrain Farias

- Also from Deviant Art; Emilio Lopez

- And either a person or collective called FOLKFIDDLE

- God I love FM Towns Marty (the Tumblr, not the console)…

Though its truly shines when things are moving and shaking, like…

more sexy beach time

a schoolgirl beating up some mutant turtle

even more lady curves, with some construction work thrown in for good meaure

plus a whole bunch from some PSone horror title called Twilight Syndrom

- Via Derek Yu’s Tumblr comes a reminder why Shinkiro is still one of my absolute favorite illustrators working in the game space today

- Via Brandon Boyer’s comes further proof how Tetris is always on everyone’s minds

- This design would look killer on a shirt, don’t you think?

- And brandonnn never fails to publicly display his love for Noby Noby any chance he gets…

… Still there? GOOD, CUZ WE’RE IN THE HOME STRETCH!!!
