The Joystiq Weekend: August 4 - 5, 2007

This awesome picture made the Digg front page, and for good reason. It's a shame we don't see Toad anywhere. Thanks to commenter Borman, we now know the origins of the sketch (later colored by other forum members) come from the Neo-Geo forums by an artist named hermegildo.
