Many video games build upon the concepts and mechanics of their forerunners. Off-Brand Games examines those that draw just a little too much... inspiration.
This blog is about love, and not just any kind of love! The sitcom family kind! I've got mad, mad love for Qalamari and Funktastic, two cool cats who missed my presence at PAX so dearly that they sent me some mementos for me to treasure for the rest of my days... or at least until trash pick-up.
Qalamari adopted my avatar (along with GamesAreArt's) for grand photo opportunities up in Seattle. Sadly, his mishandling brought about our untimely deaths. As detailed in this post, Qalamari had us cloned and shipped off to our respective homes.
And so...
My original body has been returned along with my new and improved clone body care of GrumpyTurtle.
I thank both you and Grumpy for putting all this together, Qali. One love.
What ho? Seems like Funktastic sent me something as well. Boy, it's a big one!
Sweet! A copy of Dokapon Kingdom, the board game/RPG hybrid from Funk's favorite company evarz, Atlus! Shame I lack a second DualShock for multiplayer fun. I'll need to correct that error immediately.
I also scored an oxymoronic micro Mega Man pin! More Mega Mans for my collection! Get it? "Micro Mega"? Right on, brother!
Oh, you guy, you! Isn't that just like... wait... a Bobble Budd? I didn't notice any Bobble Budd! Where did I leave that box...?
Oh, it's a sour-faced Servbot! Hey, little guy! Did you make that long journey from Canada all by your lonesome? Awwww! Fear not! I've got someone I'd like you to meet!
Almost like looking into a mirror, eh? But wait! Who are those guys in the distance?
Le gasp! Giant Servbots! A real family at last!
Group photo! Happy days are here again!
Thanks for making this magic happen, fellas! I'll return the favor tenfold some day! Mark my words!
What a fortuitous happenstance of simultaneous package convergance. Be careful, though... Tron Bonne and her metal crotchplate will surely be hunting you down to reclaim what is rightfully hers. By the way, that last picture is fantastic.
Are you sure that last picture wasn't FUNKtastic MR. SQUID . . . hahaha . . . <_< . . . >_> . . . never again for like the 8th time . . . -_-' . . . hahaha! Also, I think you're currently losing the contest MR. MEGA MAN! Glad you enjoyed your stuff mate! ^_^ Kind of sad that MARASUNE didn't mention my halfassedly drawn DOMO . . . =P

Ahem, where was I?
Ah, yes. This is super awesome. We have a pretty damn awesome community here.
Nice!
What's wrong with you?
And now that Jimbo has posted his own love fest post, I say we have a contest. I want more comments than him. Go.
I DO NOT HAVE A BOBBLE BUDD
