In yet another addition to the "I wish I could read Japanese so I could find out more about things that are completely awesome" file (admittedly, the file has a big name and I'm currently looking for a way to shorten it), comes a little Japanese blog by the name of Dotter Dotter--at least, that's what I think it's called. Listen, those are basically the only english words on the page, so I'm going to assume I'm right. Anyway, names aren't important here; what is important is the fact that this dude (or lady-type person) has created some really great images based on old-school Nintendo sprite art. Like the following:
As you can see, language is irrelevant when it comes to something this awesome. But having some basic understanding of Japanese would at least let me know if there are some wallpaper-sized versions of these images available on Dotter Dotter. Without a doubt, that would be much more awesomer.

About Bob Mackey
For a brief period of time I was Bull from TV's
Night Court, but some of you may know me from the humor column I wrote for Youngstown State University's The Jambar, Kent State University's The Stater, and Youngstown's alternative newspaper, The Walruss. I'm perhaps most well-known for my bi-weekly pieces on Something Awful. I've also blogged for Valley24.com and have written articles for EGM, 1UP, GameSpite and Cracked. For all of my writing over the years, I have made a total of twenty American dollars. It's also said that I draw cartoons, which people have described with words such as "legible." I kidnapped the Lindbergh Baby and am looking to do so again in the future.
