Stardew Valley seems like the kind of game that would consume my wife’s life, if it was out for iOS. I haven’t played, and I’m not sure I’d enjoy it, but I certainly respect it, and the community it has engendered. Here’s a member of the community throwing it back to the classic Chocobo Theme.

Confession time sans any shame: When I was a wee boy, I would run around in my backyard, sword-stick in hand, playing in imaginary worlds that were mostly inspired by the 8-bit NES maps in Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda.

Oh shit, chocobos have turned thirteen. And just like a teenager, chocobos have grown fucking huge, and sport amazing, cheesy mohawks. I fucking dig their new look. They’re goddamn enormous, they dwarf the baddies seen in this scan, and they cum in their pants while they sleep. I may have made that last part up. They actually cum in the hay in the barns they sleep in. Click the picture for the entire scan.

Oh shit, a new Final Fantasy XIII character! What’s her name?!?!

Oorba Yun Fang.

…

No seriously Ian, what’s her name!

Oorba Yun Fang

…

Square, what the fuck! Seriously, this ridiculousness with your names is getting awful. It’s almost Tekken bad. Well, Fing Fang Foom can summon Bahamut, and she’s also got a retarded tribal tattoo like half the guys at your local gym!

Fing Fang Foom was revealed in a trailer last month or some shit, and you can check out the scan she’s featured in by clicking on this link.
