This week's main spotlight goes to welkstar and his amazing RetroForceGO! themed MAME cabinet. He has built a cabinet from the ground up and has made a simply amazing piece of Destructoid art to go along with it as well. Check out his C Blog for the step-by-step process of everything that went into this epic project.

Dao2-SKP really likes the Dreamcast. So much so, that he now owns 8 of them. His latest Dreamcast is a modded one that has built in LED lights and looks pretty neat.
Last weekend was the New York NARP and a few blogs came out during the past week recapping the awesomeness of it all. casualweaponry has this video and a few pictures of the nights events.
nintendoll followed up with her own recap of the NY NARP event. Pretty impressive that she was able to remember anything considering how easily drunk she gets.
The last of the blogs came from superflossy, where she posted a bunch of man on man action shots.
Geoff Mendicino presents the inner struggle of Dark Link. Also, check out his ass.
So Dexter345 went ahead and decided to figure out all the odds for Fable 2: Pub Games. Very impressive.
EarthbounderNess tells us the tale of Little Billy. Little Billy used to be a really happy kid, that is, until the day that the Ping Pong Guy from Rhythm Tengoku Gold decided to bring Little Billy pain.
ElfAngel7 over at Tomopop dropped some of his custom Soulcalibur IV fighters in his C Blog this past week. He recreated several of the Chrono Trigger characters and they all look pretty good.
Ceark sent Shawnzzy a big box of games for winning his contest from a couple of weeks back.
There's going to be two major Dtoid events this week: PAX and Mistic's European NARP. Mistic and po0ky have been hard at work setting up a place to host the NARP and are doing an amazing job getting it all together. It looks like this will become one amazing NARP. Also, take a look at all of Mistics stuff.
Ron Workman shared some footage of Dexter345 in action while at E3. Dexter fails at getting beers and Chris from Microsoft is a pirate.
For anyone that's been missing my Nerdcores as of late, take a look at Necros' blog. He has one very hot photo of a hot Nerdcore model.
ChillyBilly got inspired by all of the Dead Space content this past week and made a couple of sweet Dead Space themed wallpapers.
fetusmilk was inspired by Mr. Destructoid's appearance on the R3y show.
Here's the trailer to Ron Workman's upcoming film, "Joe Burling gets hit by a car and die". Sounds ... interesting.
Stella Wong is amazing. She loves giving gifts to people and the latest person to receive her gift loving was Dale North.
I'm only pointing out this blog from nintendoll because of the extremely embarrassing comment RonBurgandy2010 left on it. I am such a dick.
Krahsh and his wife have done something extremely nerdy yet awesome at the same time. They got a couple of Nintendo themed tattoos and I can't get over how nerdy-cute it is. Great tattoos you two.
Highlights end this week with A New Challenger's retro score. He found a bunch of classics on the cheap and picked up a bunch of stuff.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Hamza: I dont know WHAT THE FUCK happened with you and some of the dtoid people, but whatever it is, stop being an asshole. How could you miss the LA NARP?
LA NARP: The only thing that went up about the LA NARP was an announcement post this week and the live feed. No real point to mention the announcement post. Once there's blogs with pictures and stuff, yeah, of course I'll link to it.
Now that I think about it, "you redefine adorable" isn't necessarily a compliment. After all, the new definition of adorable could be "Ron Workman's pubic hair," or something. Gotta be careful with that.
lol all of my shitty posts get a billion comments, but my monthly musing got nothing. I should just put the words "my boobs" in the title of every entry I want people to read.
