Welcome to the weekend round-up of everything Kotaku that is awesome. While I was away you got some furry images from Fahey. I hope you enjoyed that. But I'm back with an image of Metal Gear Kirby. Solid Kirby? Kirby Snake? Something like that.
As usual, we hit the Best Comment From The Community before moving on to some great stories collected from the team this week.
If you want to see the list of nominations (and other random conversations) you can head to my most recent nomination post that goes up every Friday here.
Want to suggest an article, comment, tweet, or any other content on Kotaku to be featured for a weekly Best Of nomination? Drop me a line at tina@kotaku.com with the subject line of "Best Of Nomination." Or any other subject line that will help me sort through and search for them. I'm not too picky.
The Best Comment From The Community
greatcarbuncle gets the gold star this week for showing grace and understanding. Kudos to not mocking the woman in question!
However, do teeth not strike you as a strange barometer for a person's health? Some people are just born with yellower teeth. Some people neglect their teeth as children and live with that for their lives, regardless of future healthiness. Some people object to spending money on capping their teeth for aesthetic reasons. Some people straight up can't afford it. Indeed, the state of one's teeth would seem to work better as an indirect indicator of the size of one's bank account rather than one's health, do you not think?
