I'm one of the top predictors/guessers of NPD hardware at GAF, but Michael Pachter isn't bad himself.  He made some joke about not being as good as me, though, so when I narrowly beat him out for the overall 2008 results I wanted to make a joke brag, too.  However, doing pixel-perfect copies from Anicro Desapro is a hell of a lot more a pain in Animal Crossing City Folk thanks to pointer-only pattern creation, so my steam ran out after only creating half of his face.

Derek Zoolander accepting the Slashie that's just been loudly announced as given to Hansel.  I think this was an NPD thing again, where I had Wii-as-Derek claiming yet another month at the top of the charts even though December went to DS for a change.

More NPD.  As of 2008, the top three overall yearly results.  Showing that both Wii and DS set new records in 2008, nearly tied, and Wii was the first to hit 10 million in a year.

From the "Make a magazine ad" thread.  This is for Mega Man 9.  Simple, because trying to get too fancy I'm sure to take a wrong turn.  The quotes at the top ripped straight from the original Mega Man box art.  My favorite part is probably the game logo itself--the actual source for it had gradients going on, but I flattened the colors to make it more retro.  I did the same with the other logos beneath but it's not as obvious.
