Wonderful Wikis

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD

While it may be a "controversial" entry to the highly venerated The Legend of Zelda franchise, there is no disputing that our wiki page for the HD remaster of Twilight Princess is something worth checking out.

Pokémon Red/Blue

With its re-release on the Nintendo 3DS eShop imminent, the video game that spawned a cultural phenomenon has a wiki page on our database that would make any Poke-fanatic happy.

The GIF just needs a patented dr. Tracksuit tagline like "These streets need a prescription...a prescription of PAIN!" Or "Lock your doors because Dr. Tracksuit is making house calls!"

Thank you for highlighting my blog about old On the Spot episodes. After posting, I searched the internet to see if anyone has already uploaded these videos. Turns out others have uploaded these episodes I have but if people are enjoying my annotations, I will continue my little blog series too.

It's very funny that this weeks UPF was the guys watching old Electronic Playground episodes. I get a lot of those same feelings watching On the Spot episodes. Glad that others seem to enjoy it as well.

Listening to @vegetashonor 's interview with Austin now. I saw his initial post, but I forgot about it.

Those three banners are also great.

Nice job everyone!

@cosmicbacon You need to call your patent lawyer RIGHT NOW!

Good to know! Please keep the annotations going!

Loved that best of Persona 4 video, great work. I have watched that endurance run twice already and it is still amazing.

Twice? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

Is there a twist ending that I missed out on?

Listening to @vegetashonor 's interview with Austin now. I saw his initial post, but I forgot about it.

Nice job everyone!

I just listened to it today myself, and it really is a job well done on his part!

Whoop Whoop, I'll get that game made one day.

Keep me updated on any Dr. Tracksuit art you make in the future! I have a few of your latest animations, but I noticed that you use Twitter to post those animated .gifs. As you know, the Twitter .gif system is a GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS!

Once again thank you for mentioning what I've put up on the site each week. Like usual our community put out a lot of good stuff this week.

No problem, and I think I have your latest works all on Twitter now, but am not entirely sure if I have missed anything.

Yeah, as long as you post it to your account here we should be fine.
