Pixilated History

Video games have long represented an escape from the harsh chicken nuggets of reality that scratch and claw at our throats as we swallow them. At the same time, many games simulate the real world, from historic conflicts to the founding of civilizations, while still providing the same desired escape. What we had the Something Awful Forum Goons attempt to do this week was to recreate historic moments in the guise if classic video games. What would it look like if the Kennedy assassination took place solely in a Nintendo game? What about the famous Tiananmen Square incident? These questions and more will be answered just as soon as I get myself a drink. Hold on, okay?

Okay I'm back with my drink. I also made myself a sandwich. Give me a minute to finish eating please.

Okay, I'm done.

I'd like to give some mad props to to Freaking News for sponsoring yet another one of our terrible Photoshop Phriday features. When you get a chance, take a magical Internet drive to their e-home and visit with them and their daily Photoshop contests, team based competition, and fabulous prizes. Do it, you foul cretins! I COMMAND YOU!!!
