One of my favorite hobbies is collecting pixels. Like sprites and things. I like the way they’re so, well, pixelly. Yeah. Okay, so I’m a big nerd. You knew that.
I recently played a lot of Pocky and Rocky for SNES, because it’s one of the few SNES games that works on the DS SNES emulator. And it’s good. So, my forum avatar switched from my old sleeping Pictochat tanuki to this:

Rocky just after the screen-clearing attack. I’m working on a few more, slowly, from a collection of screenshots. Like this:

Ride it! Also, just because I have it lying around:

Ark from Terranigma! And, relatedly:

A pixel mosaic done on a wall at UTA. Whoever does these needs to do more.







Ooops, sorry about this being broken for so long. Tanuki been working too much. X_O
Apparently weird characters like the copyright symbol are not very good for entry titles. It caused a mess of problems, so I deleted/recreated this post.
Should be fixed now! Have at it, you dogs.

Is UTA a school?

Pocky and Rocky looks cool.
I love pixels and tanuki, too. Pixely tanuki = lots of good.

Yeah, it’s the University of Texas at Arlington. A fine school for things like math and engineering, not so good for, say, football and beer.
