First!!!
Saria the Cat @ Aug 9th 2008 12:19AM
We don't do that here.
Lone Starr @ Aug 9th 2008 12:37AM
First to lose your happy hearts? Good idea!
Gman @ Aug 9th 2008 10:09AM
I apologize, I won't do it again.
Saria the Cat @ Aug 9th 2008 3:03PM
:) No hard feelings. I actually felt like an ass writing that.
Anticrawl @ Aug 9th 2008 4:39PM
What's funny is the "handful of people" that sent this in was simply me, myself, and I a few times over.
Microswirl (MKWii:1676- 4270-3674) @ Aug 9th 2008 12:22AM
The big winners today were Little Big Planet's awesomeness continuing to grow and Justin's history of Pringles... makes me want a solid tube of processed potato paste mmmm....
This is my 888th comment on 8-8-08! Oh how the stars have aligned!
Saria the Cat @ Aug 9th 2008 12:24AM
I love any craft that's video game related. I see tons of cool stuff all the time. Just search etsy.com or flickr.com or craftster.org for anything Nintendo, which is the most popular brand of crafted game stuff. I've been working on an invincibility star scarf and am almost done with a simple scarf with removable piranha plant and flower flowers. Oh, and my freaking granny square blanket which still needs about 150 more squares...

That makes me happy
oh, and I love how you shut down Gman!

You can't tell under my Mandalorian helm, but HEART EYES FOR YOU.
Markez (MKWii 4339-2878-5120) @ Aug 9th 2008 3:07PM
This is pretty schweet too...

Saria the Cat @ Aug 9th 2008 3:18PM
@Markez: Oh, yeah, papercrafting is also pretty badass. I've yet to dabble in it myself though since I don't have a color printer. :(
Kamizar @ Aug 9th 2008 12:26AM
That punch out scarf is quite a ringer...
I'd even go as far to say it's a knock out...

Looks pretty cool, the girl isn't as cute as the one from Zombies but she is pretty bangable.
Obie @ Aug 9th 2008 12:38AM
What are you? 10?
Wiinterfang @ Aug 9th 2008 12:39AM
Do you actually now what I'm talking about?
Saria the Cat @ Aug 9th 2008 12:56AM
@Obie: Psh, don't you know that girls are nothing but objects of bangability?
Wiinterfang @ Aug 9th 2008 12:58AM
That's weird I can't see my replies.
Dopple Boppler @ Aug 9th 2008 3:10AM
"Bangable"? Your eloquence is exceeded only by your charm, Shakespeare Jr.
Lord Bowser @ Aug 9th 2008 6:29AM
"That's weird I can't see my replies."
It's because you're a moron, that's why.
Obie @ Aug 9th 2008 12:36AM
Yeah that Punch Out scarf is awesomeness.
I would not even know how to use knitting needles, I would probably turn my head into a kabob by accident. ;)
j.howlett @ Aug 9th 2008 3:02AM
a bunch of terrorist
aaron @ Aug 9th 2008 4:54AM
She's married boys. Look at the hand in the left pic above. Then look at her "playroom". No self respecting good-looking chick has all of that shit to herself and alone. To whoever she's married to, you are a lucky bastard.
ToRo @ Aug 9th 2008 12:23PM
Just because she has a ring doesn't mean shes's married. My sister wears a ring all the time, but she's not married.
Anticrawl @ Aug 9th 2008 12:56PM
Tanya is most certainly married. She actually owns 8bitfix.com

DO WANT!
Travis @ Aug 9th 2008 5:49AM
what a babe!
also... I want a Punch Out shirt... i wish they made those...
So Solid Truth @ Aug 9th 2008 9:59AM
Actually no, she is ugly. Despite what most of you think.
She has that typical yank face and tiny eyes. I'm sure theres chub on her arms too. Why didn't the photographer or organiser get a better model? To promote something like this they should have got a good looking model at least.

I think it's funny that you signed up today just to post something like that. Loser.
DigTheDoug @ Aug 9th 2008 10:52AM
Youre trolling attempt is poor. Also people who sign their name at the bottom of their posts are dickbags. It's already right there to the left, we don't need to see it again along with a paragraph and a half worth of line breaks.
You're still a Dickbag even down here.
Saria the Cat @ Aug 9th 2008 3:02PM
The fact that she's beautiful aside, she reportedly crocheted and knitted those scarves herself by hand. Why should anyone else be modeling? And what the hell is a "yank" face? She's Latina.
I don't think you read any of the article or have any idea what you're talking about.
agelgamer @ Aug 9th 2008 10:03AM
I blame all leg humping comments on GTA IV.
Wiinterfang @ Aug 9th 2008 10:53AM
Woah you guys are too uptight XD.
So Solid Truth @ Aug 9th 2008 11:12AM
No just got standards that's all.
Now I await the guessing team to jump on this comment

Wiinterfang @ Aug 9th 2008 11:14AM
Standards?? what do you mean, he looks pretty good.
forestofdeath @ Aug 9th 2008 10:41AM
i'd totally 1'up her. o_o
creid @ Aug 9th 2008 11:29AM
Dammit Joystiq, you disappoint. I was hoping for a "She's hot" comment so I could reply with "She's wearing scarves in the summer, of course she's hot!" and laugh my little head off.
ToRo @ Aug 9th 2008 11:43AM
oK. That Tanya girl is hawt. Ok i'm done.
Anticrawl @ Aug 9th 2008 12:53PM
Yay Tanya, she defines the female hardcore gamer.
agelgamer @ Aug 9th 2008 5:31PM
I'd have to agree with that. Anyone that has that kind of skillz and can pwn in Halo 3, SC4, and Rock Band is hardcore in my books.
Spakkenkhrist @ Aug 11th 2008 9:39AM
Quick internet, ring the girl alarm!
