Big dinner at the in-laws, eh? Well, at least you won't have to pay for the osechi-ryori yourself.

I agree... that is rather disturbing. The eye makeup kind of detracts from the effect, though...

@Mr.Awesomerific: Ah... well, I guess I have McWhertor to blame (thank?), then.. or maybe someone took a liking to me after the whole Viking Tennis thing.

@DARTH_TIGRIS: If I recall correctly, Nintendo makes six dollars on every Wii sold. I don't know how shipping costs play into that, though.

...Can someone tell me what's up with the star by my name? It's been driving me crazy... you need, what, forty followers to get one? Mine popped up when I had sixteen.

Hey, every little bit helps.

HA! When I saw Rock Band 2 set up in Men's Clothing in October, I knew they'd do this.

As much as I love contests (I've been a finalist or honorable mention in seven or so here on Kotaku), I think I'm going to give this one a past. I've played Alone in the Dark (5)... getting lost in a sewage-filled maze for two hours because the only source of light is your cigarette lighter isn't exactly my idea of…

I vote for paul_entry. Because even attempting Parodius is insane.

I really cannot wait for this to come out...

@Mike Fahey: Who's Amelia?

@excaliburps: It was originally supposed to be Crecente vs Ashcraft, but the Bash sprite turned out looking like Cliffy B when I tried his old (famous) hair style, and Steve Buscemi when I tried his current one.

@excaliburps: I just plopped a Fei Long sprite into an image editor and... edited.

@Aldo Araujo: Looking into it, it IS from Final Fight... I'd just never seen it there because it was cut from the SNES version.

@Paul C: You can't have it... but you can make your own, if you want.

@Hand_O_Death: Well, I'll probably never use it again... If I make it available, maybe some crazy Kotaku fan will decide to make an entire Crecente sprite sheet, which would be awesome.

@Aldo Araujo: If you're talking about the background in my entry, it's from Street Fighter Alpha 2...

If anyone wants the Crecente sprite for any reason, here it is.

I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas shopping. I love finding the perfect gift for someone, I love designing complex gift wraps, and I love the looks on their faces when they open it.

@rewolf31: Monty Python reference?
