About Me
I received an SNES console for Christmas when I was three years old, and my life was changed forever. Looking back on it, I realize this was only one month after the console released. My parents rock.

I've been an avid gamer ever since then, don't have the good fortune of living near very many people who like games in the same way I do. Please friend me on this site, XBLA, or PSN if you want to PLAY VIDEOGAMES or TALK about VIDEOGAMES some time.

I write for Tomopop.com, mostly about anime and game related toys, and Japanator.com, mostly about games.

Crafts for great justice: amigurumi.
Tyler Jones | 1:57 PM on 05.06.2009 7 comments


It was a few weeks ago that I decided that I wanted to learn to make amigurumi. To do this, I first needed to familiarize myself with the manly art of crochet. It turned out to be a difficult craft to learn on my own (I had only books and internet sites) but I stuck with it and have a few things to show for it.

My first video game amigurumi is this Q*Bert. His one leg is skewed a bit, but it was an early attempt.


Then came this Kirby ball. I decided it would be easier to start with just a ball, the way he looks in Canvas Curse. I really like how it turned out.


Then Kirby of course needs a villain, so enter Meta Knight! Again in ball form. The mask gave me a bit of trouble. I'm going to do full versions of Kirby and Meta Knight in the future.


And just finished today is this Boo from Mario World.


I'd love to hear what you guys think.


You can keep up on these and my other stuff at my dA page.

I'd be interested in seeing what people want to see. I could definitely try making a Sackboy.
If this goes well I'll probably try selling them on an Etsy store.
