My new favorite thing about Fangamer’s Metal Gear merchandise: your upcoming orders will be shipped with this packing slip, which doubles as Snake’s legendary cardboard disguise.

Whether these pixel pirates form part of Hufsky’s micro/massive Puit Wars, their own game, or are indeed nothing more than a quick-sketch seems a bit beside the point: their tiny Ed Emberley-esque expressiveness is enough for me, and the screen’s proof that all I need to see is a numeral and “pts.” to compulsively want to play.

A first-pass rough draft of Shaun’s living room, as modeled by the team behind Left 4 Winchester: a Shaun of the Dead mod for the PC version of Left 4 Dead which, despite some hang-ups, is apparently still on its way.

The current plan is a five-map campaign that’ll take us from Shaun’s Pad, to Mum’s House, to Lizz’s Flat, to the Winchester itself for a final showdown, where the jukebox will, of course, summon the horde. Apart from some obvious metaphorical zombie-differences to be solved, this should be a new all-time favorite mod, provided the team can manage to hold it together.

How do you warn parents about what children may or may not be able to do in a game where they can do near anything? You try and cover all your bases at once, from attaching steak to babies to attract lions, or jumping bicycles over babies (what unhealthy obsession ESRB has with baby violence I don’t know), to, simply, summing ‘vomit‘.

‘Pirate Baby’s Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006’ and ‘Kings of Power 4 Billion %’ animator and Scribblenauts contributor Paul Robertson shows off his contribution to Udon’s art book tribute to Capcom’s classic supernatural fighter Darkstalkers. I always feel like a chump stretching and squishing his pixels, so be sure to view it at its native res for maximum impact.

Scribblenauts artist Edison Yan gives the people what they want, and what they want now is every Street Fighter Alpha character shrunk down to ‘naut form. Also available in Street Fighter III and plain ol’ Street Fighter style, or, also, Final Fantasy VII. [via TinyCartridge]
