"My Little Colossus" by Blondeyetti³

"Shadow of the Patapon" by Vitor Caneco⁴

"SOTC" by Maitaboris

"Shadow of the Munny" by Matthew Ellison⁵

¹ Who doesn't love Little Nemo? The pairing of Nemo and a Colossus is genius, for the record.
² A Shadow of the Colossus\Mother 3 mashup. Nothing more to say except I like how well this captures the tone and spirit of both games. And the querying "Is there a bug on me?" question mark over the Colossus' head.
³ I am not a brony. I honestly do not get that weird little niche subculture of 20- and 30-year-old dudes who are really into MLP:FIM. That said, I thought this pony Colossus was some fine work, from the mossy patches to the glowing section on the rump.
⁴ I've never actually played Patapon, but this looks about right.
⁵ I've been getting back into vinyl custom figures lately and I came across this in my internet travels. Very nice work.

Showcase: Jude Buffum's Jurassic President Series

"Jurassic President, Episode 1: American History Rex"

"Jurassic President, Episode 16: High Score and Seven Years Ago"

"Jurassic President, Episode 26: Stalin For Time"

Former US Presidents versus historical villains, atop cybernetic dinosaurs, attacking each other with energy cannons. THIS IS THE PERFECT GAME.

I also dig how Stalin's videogame avatar looks like Mario.

ps. How great is Weird Al? That man is a stone-cold genius. Future historians will look back on him as one of the most important artists of the era. Mark my words!
