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. More »

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? More »

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 »

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 »
