Favorite Retro Shirt Designs!

I've gotten big into designing T-shirts recently, and I've also found some INCREDIBLE designs out there. I'm curious if you guys have run into any good sites or great designs you can post up. Here are a few I've run across: http://qwertee.com/static/images/mario-md_mhb_500.jpg http://ih1.redbubble.n...

Re: Skyward Sword Final Thoughts (Spoilers)

I was so disappointed that *SPOILER ALERT* at the end Link didn't get any...reward. Not even a kiss or hold hands or nothings. It was hinted throughout the whole game that there was some sort romantic thing going on, but nada. (Remember Zelda was about to tell Link something important before gettin...

Mine as well. Was very unique for its time. The inclusion of the side-scrolling portions was brilliant. I also got a kick out of the "platforming" elements that Roc's feather brought to the game. All-in-all Link's finest!

Re: Top 3 retro console's people are playing right now

It's been a lot of current gen for me too. Skyrim and Minecraft have taken over my life. Once I get tired of those I will probably go back to my fav 3 - SNES, NES and Gameboy.

Re: Best Donkey Kong Country title?

DKC2... Diddy and Dixie were more enjoyable to control and the challenge was ramped up! I thought DKC3 was a big disappointment. The end boss for one thing lacked the same excitement you got from the previous games.

8-Bit Encore: Kid Icarus Sprite Poster

After making the Legend of Zelda poster I decided to take a crack at Pit next.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

hope you guys aren't playing the PS3 version: m Of course, I hear the 360 version is also buggy as fuck (if not quite as bad). What about the PC version? I'm playing the PC and it's also buggy as hell... but I've been fortunate not to hit any REALLY bad bugs. My biggest annoyance is when I pick up ...

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Just did a feature on my site about Skyrim.

http://thehookshot.com/2011/11/bits-bytes-retro-rpgs-vs-skyrim/

An awesome game that has sucked up WAY too many hours of my life. Usually I can't stand current-gen games, but I'll make an exception for this!
