Awful Street Fighter Valentines For The Future Break-Up In Your Life

You may have seen these godawful Street Fighter II Valentine's Day cards before—they date back to 1992, when Gamepro paid people like this to do their "artwork"—but if not, I sincerely apologize. They're probably the most horrifically rendered interpretations of the classic Capcom fighters you'll ever see. So, download, print them out and give them to someone you despise. I highly recommend the horribly disfigured Chun-Li for the most deplorable Valentine in your life. He or she will surely thank you with a slap. Thanks and Happy Valentine's Day to reader Chris for the pointer.

Pokemon Valentines, Now With Razor Blades

When one Floridian woman picked up some Pokemon valentines at her local Dollar General, her son spotted something peculiar sticking out from the bundled lollipops: razor-sharp chunks of box-cutter blades. Luckily he noticed the metal protrusion before he handed a lollipop to his sister for her tongue to go all Bulbasaur.

I'd always laughed at the warnings of razor blades in candy. But I guess that, yes, some people do hate children, or at least Pokemon, that much.

Nintendo, Won't You Be My Valentine?

Fact: Mario is the master of love. Sure, his relationship with the Princess sometimes feels more innocuous than passionate—and the whole Bowser infatuation certainly kinks up the confusing sexual undertones—but no matter what the circumstance, he always wins back the Princess against overwhelming odds. So why not celebrate Valentine's with some free Nintendo valentines? From 4 Color Rebellion, these charming notes will only cost you some color ink or a few seconds of copy/pasting into an email. Beecause really, what potential lover can resist a good "bee" pun?

My Ninty Valentine: VG Cats Wins

The battle was long and hard, but the war of the custom Nintendo valentine's day cards has come to a close. It was a grueling competition, despite none of the entrants actually being aware that there was one. The opening salvo was fired by Play-Nintendo, who came close to triumph with their Midna entry. Then came 4 color rebellion, who took a more heartfelt stance. Then there was VG Cats. In order to preserve your job and possibly mine, I'm kicking it past the jump. More »

Otaku Valentine's Day

Japanese Valentine's Day is backwards. Unlike the Western holiday, men do not give women chocolates, but vice-versa. A month later, males return the favor by giving women chocolates on White Day. Check out Japundit's interesting article detailing the holiday. The kicker: nothing quite says romantic like online RPG Ragnarok chocolate (pictured above) or naughty anime (after the jump). More »

More Cheap-Ass Valentine's Day Cards

I'm not talking about CheapyD and crew, I'm talking about you and your inability to prepare for the most commercial of holidays, Valentine's Day. Celebrate the day of overwhelming significant-other guilt, with no real merit, gamer procrastination-style. Is it clear yet that I'm single and angry? More »

Colossial Valentine's Day

Found over at the Insert Credit forums and apparently inspired by Wanda and Colossus. Am I insane or is this strangely romantic? More »

How To: Paint Yer DS Pink, Pink, Pink

Boy, this is neat. New Jersey resident and 35mm film fan inajamaica has taken apart his DS and repainted it hot pink.

No clue. Fellow D.I.Y. types feel free to crib notes. More »
