Kotaku
Earlier this week I asked you, the Kotaku voting public, to pick which character would be gracing my arm come this Sunday's appointment at my local purveyor of fine body art. You have spoken, and the winner by an overwhelming margin was Brian Crecente...who doesn't count. Which it would be a great response to the companies at E3 who ask me where Brian is ("Right here on my arm!*), the odds of me one day getting angry at him and taking a flathead screwdriver to my arm are too great. In his stead I have chosen the runner-up, Fighter. The burly Yin to Black Mage's delicate but deadly Yang, Fighter received 1269 votes to Crecente's 1808, with the next closest being Red Mage with only 918. Come back Monday for a look at the finished product, and thank you for helping me decide what to have drawn on myself!
Oh, and special thanks to Qbix for that nightmare picture up there.

LOL that would be fawking awesome.
Qbix deserves some serious Kash as a reward. That is pure win.
Crecente's wife would get jealous Mike. And she would probably think that while you guys were in San Francisco... oh god what a perfect city for you two to get gay in.
Oh my. At first glance I thought that was real. >_>
so yah your getting a crecente tatto or no?
think that you should that would be so cool,
retro crecente
*Screaming* sigh *SCREAMING LOADER*
MOOOOGLEEEEE!
To not get a Crecente tattoo now would make our votes seem meaningless!
Post of the year.
You should have stuck with Crecente...better job security. We are after all seemingly falling into a recession.
Best.Photoshop.Ever
Creepy, I was just looking at the other article a second ago when this popped up.
OOOWEEEOOOOOOOOO *ghost noises.
Well done, Qbix! I'm pretty sure I voted for Red Mage. Bummer! Good luck, regardless.
I'm stealing the votes then, and I'll get a tat of Crecente? Fair enough?
The Crecente should have been chosen. I thought we voted on this and you chose what was voted in the majority D:
Oh well at least something people voted for was chosen.
Wow, you used to have a pretty hairy arm.. I mean who grows hair on the under part of the fore-arm? Even I don't, and I'm a pretty hairy man.
To think about it you're pretty cool.
I mean hair does make the man.
I can only wonder how long before we see people sending in pictures of themselves getting/with Crecente tattoos.
what remade ff game should i get for my ds? ive never played one before. black mage is from iii right? which is better iii or iv?
Man, that pic is Crecentastic.
AHHHHHHHHH What in the world! *Faints*
I am guilty for voting for Crecente. I s till think you should go for it... just look at the picture. Its awesome! MAKE IT A REALITY FAHEY
That's not fair. He won, you should have to do it. D<<<
Two things that has to be immaculate with Fighter ink.
1. Make sure his front bangs has a flare
2. Make sure that his eyebrows are indented upwards; a la scowl mode.
Your ink will be in vain if those two prominent features are missing from Fighter.
Also, the pixel art gives me an idea: bribe LucasArts to breakout the ol' SCUMM engine and make an adventure game about Crecente.
Qbix should get a real prize. Something big, like money, or $500 gift card. That Pixel Crecente is immaculate.
YES! Just YES! If it were real that is...:(
At first glance I thought you had chosen a Guybrush Threepwood tattoo.
Need a re-vote sans Crecente option.
Who knows what the Crecente voters would have otherwise chosen.
OMG THAT IS THE BEST PHOTOSHOP EVER.
Damnit, I still say that my Spoony Bard in Olde English idea is the superior option.
What's the point in holding a vote if you're not going to honor the result? I feel like Palestine.
LOL! Or, as others prefer: WWWW!
That made me laugh my ass off. First time in a long time anything I have read on the internet has made me laugh like that. Unstoppable girlish giggling. I actually had to apply to recertify my Man card. I can expect a response in 2-3 weeks.
@mgy: Quote of the day.
@mgy:
lol
lol, thanks. I just couldn't resist. And for those of you who are willing to actually tattoo Crecente's face on your [insert body part], here's the picture you should take to your local tattoo artist :)
Awesome shop job Qbix! That pic actually had me fooled (and scared) for a few seconds.
Mike. I may have said it before, but may I just reiterate how much I love this idea of yours?
You should honestly get a tattoo of Fighter with a miniature version of Crecente's head on it.
what you need is a pixelated version of jesus on your arm, it'll add a touch of class that the arm may otherwise be missing. it even adds extra guilt for those "self induced fun times"
@homeskillet81: i am now actually considering getting that tattoo.
thank you, kind sir.
Epic fail for not using Crecente.
Well, the next time you give a business presentation, when your sleeve slides down, you'll finally have everyone's attention.
@Nauas: Buy shirts with the right sleeve length and it isn't an issue.
I agree with squishy about the crescente fighter.
I'd also like to point out that now you have dps and a tank, so you'll need a healer somewhere.
Looks like a young Obi-Wan Kenobi!
i cast magic missle
Lol at tatoo, slash your wrist to kill/feed Crecente
XXDD
you win Fahey!
@Bernard McGraw: /agreed
Dude, you're hooked. Welcome to the fold.
You should start hanging out with Zune Guy.
Dude, people will think you have a pixelated Jesus on your arm.
Then why was Crecente a choice? Surely you knew he would get the most votes.
No, no. Not that Crecente. We wanted the Garlic Crecente.
A Crecente tattoo like that deserves a more prime piece of real estate, say, in the groin area. There, now you all have that horrible image burned into your minds. My work here is done...
@Pezdispenser: Going for the Crecente de Bergerac/Roxanne mental image? Simultaneously clever and terribly disturbing. I think you deserve another star.
