"For the Nintendo 3DS AR Card Games*!

To use, click the card you'd like to use. It will enlarge and center itself. You can even customize the background by clicking it while it's in the card view mode. And if you're viewing on a laptop where side angles make the colors change, press the "s" key to color invert the ? card."

This file is on the site for Nintendo Japan, but AR cards are region-free. They work perfectly with an American 3DS.

Protip: The page is A4 sized, slightly larger than Letter size in the US. If you can find the option to rotate the PDF before printing, do it twice; the Japanese instructions will get cut off but the second row of cards won't.

"See, what makes Earthbound special isn't its combat system, or its story, or its soundtrack, or any of the other individual elements that critics like to divide and dissect like they're the appendages of an unfortunate lab frog. What makes Earthbound special is the way it takes full advantage of the video game medium to explore the type of trippy ideas that wouldn't be possible anywhere else."

Sega Master System and Game Gear emulator for PlayStation Portable

I got a Game Gear. Its screen is weird. I have a friend who knows electronics. Together, perhaps they can combine to form Voltron^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C a properly working Game Gear!

Aaaand now I have to fish out my copy of the game and play it, again. Thanks, Parish; I didn't have enough to do today. (But I will do it to AWESOME MUSIC now.)

Man, I'm sure listening to this soundtrack is affecting my animation somehow, but I don't know if I can stop. -Dan

Tip of the hat to @TheSmokingManX for digging into the history and legal implications of fan remake Chrono Trigger HD.

This recipe is for folks who primarily use Flickr for photo sharing but want to add a few selected images to Facebook as well. Just tag Flickr any image with "FB" (or the tag of your choice) and ifttt will automatically upload it as a new photo to Facebook and provide a link to the original on Flickr.

The design of Super Metroid takes a laid-back approach to the problem of interactive storytelling. In every instance there is a clearly identifiable best solution, a certain way in which the game is clearly meant to be played.

The highs and lows of Nintendo's latest handheld, and where it stands after a rocky first year.

If the food total gets to over 79 the player will be slowed, only getting one turn in two. This is a considerable problem, enough to make the player pause whenever eating when his current food is above 50, even if the chance of getting put into the slow zone is only one-in-three at that level. Worse, I hear if the player's food level ever goes above 99 he dies from overeating.

As I've been talking about lately, a lot of reviewers talk a lot of crap about JRPG's. Sometimes I think the only ones these people have played are the core FF titles past VI. The genre stretches farther than some might think.

I'm not a super huge Game Gear fan, but I LOVE how the system turned out on 3DS Virtual Console. M2 = emulation gods.

I do this! Except my plan to store GBA Final Fantasies in DS Dragon Quest cases got derailed; FF 1+2 went in DQ9, FF4 in DQ4, and FF5 in DQ5 - but then DQ6 didn't have a GBA slot for FF6! So FF6 lives in FF3 instead, which makes a sort of sense after all.

If You Turn Around, A Frog
Laundry dangling under the blue sky
Cleaner than the white clouds
It’s adorable and poignant laundry
But a sudden rain falls
The laundry is soaking wet and miserable
I’m sad, oh, so sad, but then
“It’ll all work out,” a voice says
I turn around to a frog, the voice is a frog’s
If I’m told by a frog, what else can I do
If I’m told by a frog, I can’t help but laugh
A bright yellow round fried egg
Happily enclosed in its egg whites
A delicious, beautiful fried egg
But suddenly it breaks
The fried egg collapses to a gooey mess
I’m sad, oh, so sad, but then
“It’ll be delicious,” a voice says
I turn around to a frog, the voice is a frog’s
If I’m told by a frog, I guess I’ll surrender
And be like the frog, and laugh
