I guess I should have posted more. His name is Chase and apparently he was hit by a car when he was a kitten and lost his face. From what I read, they have to
put drops in his eyes every day to keep them moisturized, but other than that, he's not in any pain and lives a normal life.

That is really depressing.

Well, maybe, but I think the main thing is that the cat is probably happy to be alive and in good care, and there were people who were willing to take care of
her despite her looks (yeah, my bad, for some reason I called Chase a "he" earlier, but it's actually a "she".) I doubt the cat even
understands that it looks so weird.
Here's a blog written by Chase's owner from Chase's perspective. |

Ugh, ack. I'm not saying that about the cat; I think it's great that she's still alive and in a loving home- but I hate it when people
"talk" for animals (and sometimes babies.) Commercials that do that are particularly annoying to me.
I live on the internet.

Just when you thought you were safe from horrible video game box art...
... The Commodore 64 version of Boulder Dash...
... That is not Rockford. I repeat, just in case we weren't clear on this matter... That is NOT Rockford. |

Okay, how hard can it be to pull this off...?
There's Rockford (well, there's two Rockfords because the game can have 2 players, but anyway)... He's a little guy in a miner's helmet. Easy enough to understand, right? How difficult can it be to represent this on game box art?
There's the NES version. Well, NES games often tried to make the box art look more "realistic" than the game graphics, but...
... apparently, in the GBA version, he's a cat/pikachu hybrid monstrosity.
Boulder Dash IV: Starring Quagmire from Family Guy
I don't even want to know...
I think that's from the Famicom boxart and it's the only one that got it right. |

You know, I think we could have a thread, or maybe like a spin-off of SAB, called something like "This is NOT..." We could take all the images of
beloved characters that were horribly messed up: that creepy Mickey Mouse video, not Rockford up there, that infamous Megaman cover, the entire
"Bayformers" Transformers movie...

ultima i's boxart looks like any olde generic rpg except that dragon looks too metallic.
ultima ii's artwork made it look more like a buck rogers game.
wow. this looks like ultima: the DOOM maps.
and in ultima iv, it suddenly turns biblical.

Holy shit, I thought the official Earthbound clay models were bad:

According to that picture, Paula is on drugs, Ness is retarded, Poo is prone to spacing out, and Jeff is an effeminate, long-haired anime prettyboy. Scary.

Huh? The official ones weren't bad.
I heard that Archie comic was real, surprisingly enough. |

Taking a look at them again, I see that while they might be cute, they had
to interpolate to make the main characters look like anything, and what they came up with might not make how a player imagined them from the sprites.

I'm trying to figure out if I prefer Ness and Jeff's official clay models or their Smash Brothers Brawl versions, but I feel like I'm choosing
between Scylla and Charybdis:
Both their heads look like they're going to fall off, and I actually hope they do, the fat little fucks. |
