who needs nintendo’s famicom classic series?

My bro-in-law took me to Hot Topic to see all the game shirts they have for sale. While impressive, I still want to support small, quality efforts like GameSkins more than I want to encourage mall-zombieness. Besides, I think I like the gaming vibe nerdcore, without the hipster chic, pseudo-goff, or brown-is-the-new-black color scheme. That said, I regret not picking up the Mario shirt, and if they’d had a Mr. Sparkle shirt in stock, I’d have bought it.

If you still have the originals, why buy all the little remake/re-issue cartridges to play nostalgic NES (Famicom) games? Intead you could use AdoFami (short for Advance Famicom) to play your original cartridges and on your GameBoy Advance.

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
