Tentacle DSi, a simple but cool customization for a white DSi by Dan Pickens (click for a larger image).

The artist wanted to buy a silver system but received a white handheld instead: “When I got it, it was white. How bland. I saw a canvas. So, I painted tentacles on it to mirror my love of the Eldritch Cthulhu mythos.”

Some paint rubbed off the DSi during Pickens’ deployment in Iraq, but I’m sure that’s easily fixed!

Buy/Paint: Nintendo DSi XL (Blue, Burgundy & Bronze), Standard Nintendo DSi (White, Pink, Black & Blue)

Prelude to a boss fight in Phantasy Star Zero. In this scene, your party of hunters stands around a wetlands area when Sarisa feels something unexpected in a private area:

Sarisa: AaiiiEEE! What-what-what is that? It’s all long and… T-tentacles? This is not okay!

Sarisa: Hey! That is off limits! Ah! Ah ha ha! Ah ha ha ha! Stop it! Th-That tickles! I-I’m gonna pee!

Sarisa: [Player name]?! Help! Hurry, it’s… it’s… Ah ha ha haa ha ha ha!

Kai: Quit messing around, [Player Name]! This is serious! (I imagine this in Ming Ming’s voice.)

Sarisa: Huff… Pant… Th-Thank you, Kai. I’m fine.

Sarisa: Ugh, but it’s all sticky where that thing grabbed me.

I should know better, but I didn’t expect Sega/Sonic Team to include a loli/tentacle scene in this game. CERO is A in this software! (ESRB: E10+)

Please excuse all the Phantasy Star Zero posts lately; JC’s a Phantasy Star Online fan from its Dreamcast days, and I jumped on the bandwagon because I haven’t played a decent online RPG in years. Despite our similar tastes in video games, it’s rare that we’ll play the same game at the same time; that’s why you’re hearing so much about it!

So far, I really enjoy the game. I haven’t spent much time with it yet, so I don’t understand a lot of stuff, but I played enough to get my face rocked off by the octopus boss.

Buy: Phantasy Star Zero ($33.99)
