SHIN REVIVAL OF THE FORT90 DOT COM WEBSITE REBUILD PROJECT COMMITTEE ANNOUNCE CLUB, PLUS ALPHA, FOR MATCHING SERVICE: Why Five Iconic Video Game Characters Would Have A Difficult Time Picking Up Women

by Matthew Edward Hawkins

And I’m back with part two (in case you missed part one, here ya go) of what I’ve been told I do best. And that’s finding pretty pictures on the internet as they relate to video games. Or point out others who have found pretty pictures on the internet first….

- Via Kotaku, really nice pictures of Sega arcade cabs

- Also, I would TOTALLY take a pic in this Pac-Man hot rod

- And according to this chart, David Bowie is every Metal Gear character (click the link to see the entire thing). Okay…

- If you’re a fan of old school animation, than these takes on various (and fairly obscure) game characters in the same vein will hit the spot. Rocket Knight might be favorite, but it’s a tough call…

- Now onto Tiny Cartridge; given how voracious my appetite for retro game consoles has been of late, despite the fact that my living space keeps getting crowded, this seems like a great solution…

- I wonder if it’s too late to get these Famicom ear buds

- Along the same line, a custom Famicom 3DS XL, along with a bunch of other Fami-related items. I happen to own one of the business card holders, btw; never fails to make people’s eyes widen…

- Could care less about God of War, but am a big time Rygar fan, so I approve of this fan mod

- Mariel Cartwright once again pays tribute to a game that hardly anyone talks about anymore, like Clock Tower

- And once more, Lamar has managed to improve upon Mega Man. I know smoking is bad for you, but Roll is simply so much more bad ass with a cig in her mouth…

- Have recently become a fan of Anatola Howard, and it all stems from this one lone Animal Crossing illustration from this interview with The Comics Journal

- Am also just becoming acquainted with the work of Yoshihara Motoki

- Something else Street Fighter related, believe it or not: here’s a brief glimpse at a day in the life of Corey Feldman, from a recent birthday party I believe…

- I want a figure of Guile, one who is very sorry…

- Must admit, Gaming Heads’s Doom plushie is awfully cute…

- Even though I couldn’t make it to the Mr Show art show, I’m pretty confident that Owen Dennis’s contribution was the best of show…

- Leon Keer’s Street Invaders are quite impressive, provided that you’re looking at them at the proper angle…

- Courtesy of some dude on Twitter

- Though my fave account would have to be, unquestionably, Bad Sonic Fan Art

- And a close runner up would be BadMiiversePosts

- Also courtesy of Twitter comes this ultra bad ass pic of my pal Jake on CNN…

- This is not how you play NiGHTS I’m afraid…

- I’m sorry, but I forget whose Twitter account I snatched the following from. But we obviously share the same love for Paul E. Dangerously…

- Here’s a shocker: another Twitter account I follow religiously is Hideo Kojima, if only for the behind the scenes glimpses at you know what (though he posts awesome ramen pics as well)…

- BTW, in case you haven’t heard, Snatcher is coming to the Dreamcast, thanks to some homebrewers. Here we have side by side comparisons shots with the original. And I agree with Destructoid; the enhanced look sucks…

- Another high end figure that I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on is Raiden. But since he’s by Hot Toys, I’m guessing the price is at least a couple hundred…

- Was going to get the Ground Zeroes iDroid iPhone case…

… But am going to get Megatron as a Mega Drive instead, since the price is around the same (yes, the iDroid costs about $100, and guess what, it’s totes worth it)…

- Oh, and for those who missed it, this was Sega’s April Fools Joke. You probably didn’t hear about it cuz it wasn’t very funny (like most April Fools Jokes)…

- Via BuzzFeed; poor dog…

- Via Reddit, how awesome screen burn can be

- This is what happens when you’re both a bored soldier in Afghanistan

- You know, I was way into the excavating of ET carts from that New Mexico landfill before I realized that it all for some stupid Xbox One TV show. But I will admit, this pic is pretty awesome…

- Does anyone know if the Saturn games in Mobile Suit Gundam Sidestories are straight forward ports or enhanced? Cuz I love me dem chunky 32-bit pixels…

- I totally need this zine of the Famicom Disk System that’s formatted to fit inside a Famicom Disk System case (or so I assume)…

- An oldie but goodie that I saved from Tumblr ages ago, and a reminder of how awesome the Silpheed ship looks…

- Via artist Joe Martin, a Vic Viper design that’s totally t-shirt worthy…

- Holy sh*t is RJ Palmer’s take on ultra realistic Pokemon Snap scary as hell…

- If anyone has a higher resolution version of this pic of a Game Boy underwater, with a girl with one leg swimming by, I’d really appreciated it; shoulda grabbed it from Fuck Yeah Pixiv when I had the chance all those years ago…

- At least this link still works…

- Time again for a look at the stuff that shows up in my inbox sometimes…

- And finally, just a few random odds and end, mostly from Tumblr…

- Actually, on more pic, of an upcoming custom GBA paint job by Rose Color Gaming that is to absolutely dye. Actually, was originally not going to post it, cuz the less people who the know, the less of a chance there is of it selling out before I can nab mine. But surely no one has gotten this far, right?
