I'm not normally a fan of even "artistic" graffiti, but I have to confess that this random discovery of Solid Snake's GameBoy Color sprite plastered to a wall is pretty damn fabulous. You might have caught this image on the Internets already (it was uploaded earlier this month), but just in case you haven't, check it out.
We need more vandalism like this. This is cool vandalism. Not like those people that just spray made-up words on the sides of trains. F*ck those guys.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Besides, bad smelling diapers remind us how good flowers smell.
This is a beautiful smelling flower.
Hi Mark Ecko.
And props to who ever did that piece. Looks like stencil work done right.

We have a small tunnel in my town which used to be filled with awesome graffiti of Aliens and stuff... It was "cleaned up", painted all white. Obviously didn't last in any way, and now we have absolute junk in there instead (no real images, immature texts and so on)... Yay.
Wouldn't mind if this artist passed by!
