Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

And those are simultaneously hella cool, and ridiculously dorky.
Though the term may be wrong, I distinctly remember making stuff with these as a little kid. Basically, they're little hollow cylinders. You put them on this little board with a bunch of properly-spaced pegs, then you stick some wax paper or something on top and hold an iron on it for a few minutes. The tops melt partially, fusing together into the one shape.
It never occurred to me how easily primitive pixel art transfered to cross stitch style things.
chalking bricks on a wall, post it notes, tiles, windows lit and non lit on a building - it's everywhere
and Operation Flashpoint: Red River code to trade/sell
and Halo: Reach code
and Portal 2 code
Me too, they were great fun.
Btw, your colors rock.
I want Sonic coasters!
The Mario, pipe and megaman were taken from pictures other people did before. I practiced with them. The Black Mage, Chrono and metroid were my own, taken from screen grabs and sprite picts. I had to redo some colors on my own, especially with Chrono.
So far the metroid was the hardest. By far. I don't really know why.
Anyway, thanks for all the positive notes. Does anyone have a suggestion for what to make next? On my list:
Phantasy Star II cast
Joe Musashi (from Revenge of Shinobi)
Maybe a Hayabusa (from the NES version)
But I'm looking for something that really looks cool. I thought about a SNES Mario on Yoshi, but there's a lot of varying red shades that I'd have to special order, and that can be a pain.
Now if I could only trade them for sexual favors...
I've looked into the coasters, but the characters need to be pretty simple to work right. I couldn't bring myself to do anything small.
See here.
I ended up buying a four 29X29 boards so I can make a big enough grid for whatever I wanted. I think a coaster is a 14X14.
Mega man is over 20 high.
The metroid is 28 high.
Coasters don't have to be square... I received some funky coasters that are the shape of Canadian tree leaves and made of wood from the tree that the leaf comes from. They're rather irregular, but still work.
'Cause it's stuff I made.

I'm currently making an Axis and Allies Board
I'll post pics when I'm done (so ten years from now look for them!)

Agreed. That's a pretty cool book.
But I do not want to see pictures of feces. I know that that's also "stuff [people] made".
...I might go out and do this.
...with the character in my avatar.
Do it.

In front of Megaman is a standard size matchbox car.
Do it.
The Prince of Knitting commands it.
Seriously? I'd love to see that.
I would too.

A is for Aimbot!
Edit: On reflection, I guess it should be Atari.
You win a cookie.
The original version had R being for Rockstar, with a little cartoon depiction of a guy dragging someone else out of a car and threatening him with a bat. Julie nixed that, though, and so I had to go with Ridley.

Why not Contra?
Colecovision?
Castle of Illusion?
Chrono Trigger?
Clay Fighter?
Componant Cables. That's what I would put down.
Nothing beats alliteration. Nothing
That's a phemoninal idea - one that I may just have to spend some type copying! I'd love to see some pictures of it.
oh just cause I like Castlevania

Anyway, here are some pics. I couldn't decide which ones to use, so I just took pictures of the whole damned book.

Some of my friends keep asking me to make them one, which I would really love to do, except it took me like 12 hours to make it.
