Did I already mention this crocheted Magus doll? Well, if so, here it is again.
I'd mentioned a while back this obscure PS1 RPG called Meremanoid that's all about mermaids, for which Mystic Ark illustrator Akihiro Yamada did some art. Well, fittingly, the Tumblr Obscure Video Games reblogged its cover art - and mentioned that, surprisingly, it had a tie-in anime series. 24 episodes long! Never head of it before, and apparently, despite its length, it wasn't commercially successful, or at least enduring; the only videos of it I can find on YouTube are a handful of episodes in Italian. I'm not sure how much it has to do with the game, though, since the anime's cast seems to be composed entirely of humans. Also, the main character appears to be named "Misty Jo."
Framed Perler bead art of Error from Zelda II exists.
A couple of fanarts of Nicklaus from Spy Fiction, and one of Sheila, headlining a Let's Play. I don't care much for the second one of Nick, but in the realm of Spy Fiction fanart, any piece is rare.
After a few months, I have mixed feelings about Dan Ryckert on the Giant Bomb team - I like his good-natured enthusiasm, but there's no doubt he's bringing the general level of discussion at the place down (as per the bit where Dan proudly claimed not to know who Jane Austen was, which prompted Jeff Gerstmann to pipe in defensively to note that he didn't know who she was for most of his life either, which prompted comments from the site's international audience wondering if Jane Austen was really an unknown figure in the U.S. in general. Then there was the entire discussion where Dan didn't know what a mortgage was, and tried to convince people on Twitter that this was an obscure fact).
That said, this Captain Ryckert fangame is dumbly brilliant.
A strange pixelated photorealistic Japanese PC adventure game version of Back of the Future. The FM Towns Marty/PC-88/etc. stuff is just a world of weirdness unto itself.
Someone did an interview with Shin'ya Nishigaki, the man behind Illbleed, shortly before his untimely death. It's not particularly revelatory, but it's interesting to hear unfiltered opinions from an intriguing mind.
I don't like everything in this Silent Hill 4 doujinshi, but I like the page of Eileen in a pith helmet.
Doujin music CD including an arranged main theme to Lunar 2. I don't want to go through the expense of placing an order for it alone, but I wish there were an easier (that is, cheaper) way of obtaining it.
Speaking of arrangements: arranged theme to one of the dungeon fight tracks from The 7th Saga.
Short but nice piano cover of the Phantasy Star III boat theme.
Short article on Mandarake about Akari Funato's video game doujins, even though the author manages to mix up which one is the FF6 doujin despite it having Terra & a moogle on the cover and the Japanese word for "moogle" in its name. Anyhow: Funato did an entire doujin dedicated to the obscure Genesis SRPG Gemfire. Amazing.
A buncha personality tests, though I don't think all of them are on the up-and-up. (For the record: Thinking/Depressive, Reserved/Inquisitive, Intellect, type 5, INTJ, the responses are kind of stupid but Neutral Good, I don't need a test to know that it's melancholic, somewhere in the high teens.)
The @DystopianYA twitter is a gift that keeps on giving.
Cute felted wool pumpkins.
