Today in Joystiq: December 11, 2007
Though not as much of a technical achievement as the Pac-Man tree, we love any and all holiday video game references. This picture of a Triforce atop a 50-foot tree was reportedly snapped by Nick and Will from Gnatline podcast. Shall we cry Photoshop? Nah, it's the holiday spirit, we'll let our lingering doubts lie elsewhere for the night. Check out the highlights for today:

the war on christmas is so fucking retarded. almost all of this country celebrates it, yet now it's some huge gay retarded PC thing where we can't officially acknowledge any holidays. the intolerance makes me sick

Political correctness is ass.
I say, embrace all cultures, not hide them all.
I say to you, Merry Christmas! Don't like it? Then tell me Happy Chunnakah!

HAHAHAHAHA, AWESOME. They're friends of mine and we've been wondering if it'd get front page action.
Thanks Joystiq!
Brent @ Dec 12th 2007 1:42AM
Ha, nice comment Joe. I'm also friends with the guys who snapped the pics. Be sure to tune into the Gnatline podcast every week!
Joe Hsu @ Dec 12th 2007 1:44AM
BTW, it's not a photochop...they fully documented the process. All those in SE Michigan are welcome to hail the Triforce tree. We might even put some pots out for you to break. (No, we won't)
Zorink @ Dec 12th 2007 1:46PM
Can we cut your grass and keep whatever items we find in it?
Granteezy @ Dec 12th 2007 2:51AM
That's awesome!! If only the new SE DS looked so tempting.

I don't think that when Jesus was born, the 3 wise men kings saw a star to follow.
They saw a muthafuckin Triforce, bitches.
