Sure, Final Fantasy might be primarily about Tidus, Cloud, Squall and other spiky-haired, androgynous protagonists who may or may not suffer from (false) memory loss, but let's not forget the colorful supporting cast of characters that flesh out your party. In honor of the upcoming multi-world brawler Final Fantasy Dissidia, PSP Fanboy has a gallery highlighting the best side characters in the series. Check it out here.

It's the last day of the weekend. You're no doubt dreading the events of the upcoming week wherein a curious blend of travel, food, and video game deals leaves us all drained, emotionally and financially. So we're trying to lighten that burden as best we can. First, take a peek at those funny video game anagrams, and then examine the entries in Capcom's Ace Attorney lolcat contest.

The grand prize winner is pictured above, though we're partial to this one and, uh this one. Do you object? You can poke through the Flickr set of 175 entries yourself – or play with the embedded gallery below – and while away the few remaining waking hours of your weekend.

Here at Joystiq HQ, we were debating where to go after our lolcat-Halo 3 hybrid picture from yesterday. Another Halo 3 image would be too obvious, we felt, so how about another lolcat? The bizarre folks behind Geometry Wars Galaxies' marketing have created a sextet (get your mind out of the gutter) of kittehz playing with the Wii. After this, yes, you can haz break from lolcat recap images. Check out the highlights for today:
