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.

Dollhouse Trailer

Edit: Already deleted from YouTube; sorry if you missed it. This was a trailer for Joss Whedon's new series, "Dollhouse," about operatives who can have their memories altered to become new people.

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.
