Well I suppose I really shouldn’t be surprised. I mean it was only a matter of time before the Nintendo 64 Kid was forced to step down from his throne fashioned out of millions upon millions of lolz from all over the world. Thus, I present you with the “Wii Kid.”

Sure it doesn’t really roll off of the tounge like the pseudonym of his predecessor, but the video clip is still funny as all hell.

Thank you internet, thank you.

Figma, the popular figure company, is selling a special collection of figures this month. For a limited time all figmas and nendoroids that come with the Merry Christmas golden seal (seen above) will include a cool santa hat and mantle.  A nice seasonal touch that I hope we’ll see more of in the future. Sure to bring some holiday cheer to your figure collection, merry Figmas!

Ok I’ll stop with the Figma puns.

We here at Dark Diamond (I say that like we have a central office) know that times are tough. With home foreclosures on the rise, stocks hitting an all-time low, companies conducting massive layoffs and soaring gas prices, which are finally receding after reaching an all-time high (averaging over $4.00 a gallon), one would be foolish not to see these as tumultuous times. And now that the holidays are upon us, shoppers must think wisely and spend frugally when shopping for gifts for the perfect gifts their family, friends and loved ones. But fear not consumer, for we are here to help you save some time and some green with Dark Diamond’s Holiday Gift Guide – 2008 Edition.

Now before you hit the jump get comfortable: grab a cup of Egg Nog or hot apple cider, put on Christmas With the Rat Pack and let the 1080P Virtual Fireplace blaze away.

And Madrid is lucky enough to have it.

Look at it. It’s a Pac-Man Christmas Tree erected over in Madrid, Spain. Thousands upon thousands of LEDs used to decorate this beautiful behemoth to four Pac-Man stages – each decorated with Christmas decorations, too! From Christmas trees to the cute little bow’s, this Christmas pyramid is going to keep up some good holiday spirits for those lucky enough to take a gander at it.

Comes with video footage, too!
