I recently made a trip to my childhood home to clean out the attic and stumbled upon my old Nintendo Power collection. While taking a trip down nostalgia lane I thought "the art from these would make awesome pins! CUT EM UP!" After taking scissors to my precious collection and assembling messages ransom note style all over the original art, I have created these Nintendo Power Remixed pinback buttons (or pins, or buttons, or whatever you want to call them). Each is a unique piece of art and most have sayings on them. You like slogans, don't you? Characters such as Nester, the Mario Brothers, Toad, Kirby, Princess Peach, Samus Aran, Mega Man and even some Star Wars dudes are thrown in there.
They are for sale now over at Etsy for $10 plus free shipping! They are sold in packs of 4 and are selected at random (blind box style!) so you never know what awesome pin you're gonna get (trust me, they are all pretty much awesome). I may even throw in a few bonuses. Be the coolest kid on the bus with these Nintendo Power Remixed pins.
Buy them now at Etsy!

Up for sale on Etsy as of today, a painting I did in college called "The Death of Peach".
Mario is grief-stricken in this nightmare scenario where Princess Peach is impaled callously by a giant pirahna plant. Toad watches in horror as Mario prepares to hurl a Bob-Omb and avenge his love. Oil on canvas 38"x36"
You can check out the listing here. Now's your chance to own a little bit of The Weekly Geek!

My day has effectively been ruined. Why? Before I even had time to hear the apocryphal whisperings about Psychonauts 2 being in the works the rumor has been quashed.
Apparently, over at Double Fine studios website a banner for Psychonauts with the words Coming Soon printed on it sparked a flurry of rumor mill tending and fan boy freakouts. Thankfully, before everything got out of hand and tents were set up outside of the local game store, Double Fine CEO Tim Schaeffer explained thusly:
“Man, who knew how much excitement a little darkness could bring? The truth is we are just putting together a new page about 'The Excellent Game Psychonauts.' We're not announcing any new games or anything. Sorry if we confused anybody! We lightened up the image to hopefully make things clearer.”
If slightly more information about Psychonauts (for which I'm sure you're all tearing your hair out in anticipation) can't sate your filthy lust then go pick up some awesome Double Fine merch. It's easily some of the least obnoxious game studio merch in existence.
Need to get caught up? You can find Psychonauts (for Windows) in our store!
