This Week in the Community: I hugged the community photo

Today’s gaming setup belongs to JorTroN. He’s got a huge collection of systems ranging from the PS3 all the way to the Vectrex. He’s also got a couple of TVs, a mini fridge he won in a contest, and nearly 500 games in his collection. Check out JorTroN’s C Blog for more pictures of his awesome setup.

RAB is making a balloon animal, Takeshi made a Destructoid level in LittleBigPlanet, go play Bonerquest, CountingConflict revealed the winners of the community awards, Chad beats on old women, Necros completed the completed games list, everyone hugged, and plenty more happened within the community over the last two weeks. 

Happy birthday wishes go out to jackal27. He got a ton of awesome gifts and you can see it all on his blog.

michiyoyoshiku really likes 2D fighting games. 

A couple of weeks back, The Blur recapped his daily adventures while visiting Japan. He had a lot of fun and took a ton of pictures of his trip. Now that he's back from Japan, The Blur gave some advice to help people visiting Japan for the first time. 

RAB is going to make a balloon animal out of the condom we gave him.

SakuChan, Niero and Colette went to a Super Hero/Villain Christmas party. SakuChan dressed up as The Great Saiyaman and Niero dressed up as ... God with ketchup.
