Zelda and Famicom Disk System 40th Anniversary Tribute


Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the Japanese release of the Famicom Disk System and its launch title The Legend of Zelda. Since then, The Legend of Zelda series went from strength to strength to become the colossus it is today.

By the way, the "Thanks A Million" quote was from the Zelda II: The Adventure of Link ending.

Happy 40th Anniversary, The Legend of Zelda and Famicom Disk System!

The Father of Sega Consoles


Sad news, Sega fans. Hideki Sato, the father of all of Sega's consoles from the SG-1000 to the Dreamcast, and Sega's honcho from 2001 until 2003, died on the 13th of February, 2026. And it doesn't help that his death happened on a Friday of all days...

What does the Sega SG-1000, the Sega Master System, the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, the Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast all have in common? Hideki Sato stewarded the design of all of these Sega consoles. He also became Sega's honcho in 2001 when Sega exited hardware production to focus on third-party games for other platforms, and presided over the company until 2003.

If you want to feel old, just remember that Hideki Sato was Sega's honcho during a period when Sega was transitioning from hardware production to third-party publisher.

Modesty Free Pass


Remember, upskirt shots are a violation of modesty. However, skirted leotards and swimsuits get a free pass because leotards and swimwear are outerwear, and the skirt is more of an accessory than a privacy barrier.

For those wondering where the skirted leotard came from, it's from the Wii Party U minigame "Ice Spinners". This ice skating minigame is the only instance where female Miis get to wear an ice skating leotard.

Warzone Goners


Author's Note: All copyrights for the characters in this comic go to their respective owners.

The warzones of Command and Conquer: Red Alert have no place for pathetic weaklings. Here are five weaklings who should never be in such warzones.

France's biggest loser needs no introduction whatsoever. Glass Joe has an abysmal 99 losses according to his lore in the Punch-Out series. If he were to fight in the Red Alert trilogy's version of the Cold War, even a cheap conscript would easily mow him down in personal combat.

As the weakest character in the Street Fighter series, Dan Hibiki was always destined to be weak. He's not as weak as Glass Joe, but still, he will get mowed down by conscripts...

Bubsy's catchphrase of "What could possibly go wrong?" will end up becoming self-fulfilling if this Bobcat were to be fighting in a Cold War gone hot because he will end up angering Soviet Russia's huskies and War Bears, resulting in him getting eaten up by them.

While Spelunker has bombs and an Uzi, these weapons will mean nothing when falling from a height of one meter means instant death. Therefore, Spelunker would be dead if he was to fight in the Red Alert warzones...

Wynn already has too many enemies and hazards that would knock him dead in one hit in his own game. If this fragile protagonist were to be posted to the Red Alert warzones, he would definitely be a goner despite being armed with bombs.

TL;DR, if these weaklings went to the Red Alert warzones, all of them are guaranteed to be goners.
