For those of you who are not ROM literate, sprites are non-background, typically moving objects in video games.  Sprite catalogues can typically be found online.  Each game can contain hundreds of sprites, one for each position the sprite uses (like the motion of walking). The rules are, in no particular, order as follows: Each week I will post a sprite or a quote (if i'm feeling lazy) from a video game, most likely from a NES or SNES game. I may post more than one a week or forget one week or... screw you, I don't need to make up excuses for you!  If you don't like it, make your own sprite game you lousy ungrateful son of a... Send me an e-mail at karmabomb@hotmail.com or talk to me on campus when you've figured it out. No purchase necessary. A prize will be given to the first person to correctly name the character and the game. Some weeks there may be no prize.  Maybe you don't deserve one, maybe I don't like you, maybe your face smells, or maybe I've decided that it's my turn to get a prize.  So there. Rules are subject to change, and will frequently whenever I feel like it.  There may be no warning as such. If you make fun of the prize, no matter how lame it is, you will be keelhauled.  It's just something we pirates do.  In the event that we are short on keels, plank walking may be substituted.

The first winner was Chase Gordon.  = Frank/Earthbound.
The second winner was David Gray.  = Hawk/Seiken Densetsu 3.
The third winner was the Olinator.  = Boomer Kuwanger/Mega Man X.
There is no fourth winner.  Though people correctly named  as Boshi of Super Mario RPG, they cheated.  So there.
The fifth winner was JT. = Ramuh/Final Fantasy 6 (3).
The sixth winner was Chase Gordon (again).  = Peter Pepper of Burgertime.
The seventh winner was, again, Chase Gordon.  = King Dedede of Kirby's Adventure.
The eighth winner was JT.  = Little Nemo (in bee costume) of Little Nemo, the Dream Master.
The ninth winner was David Gray. = Bart (in frog form) of Bart's Nightmare
The tenth winner was JT. = Alfador, Janus' () cat of Chrono Trigger.
The eleventh winner was David Hanson. = Interceptor of Final Fantasy 6 (3).  The first loser was Olin.
The twelfth winner was me (I rule) because no one could figure it out.  = Harry from Pitfall (hehe, lookit 'im jumpin').  That's right, he's from Atari.  Problems with that: read the seventh rule, hoser.
The thirteenth simuwinners were David Hanson and JT. = Lord Chaos of Final Fantasy.
The fourteenth winner was Jared.  = Gutsman of Mega Man 1.
The fifteenth winner was no one.  We're all losers for playing this game.  However, David Gray did finally guess that  = [Kid Ying] of Legend of the Mystical Ninja.
The sixteenth sprite was , who is Will from Illusion of Gaia.  I guess you people didn't take the hint that this game sucks.  For some reason, you still admitted to playing it and even remembering the wanker's name!!!  So the losers were, in chronological order, Olin (who thankfully didn't know his name), JT, Chase, and David Gray.  If I've somehow left you out (since it has been a week), let me know.  Better yet, don't let me know.

The seventeenth winner was JT, I guess.  The real point was to identify losers who didn't know that  is King Loric from Dragon Warrior.  C'mon, people.  Graham and David Hanson got it eventually, but as for the rest of you, your shame shall be recorded in the Imperial Scrolls of Dishonor.  Tonight you will be attacked by Drakees.

The eighteenth winner was Olin.  = Norstein Bekkler of Chrono Trigger.  The rest of you need to get on the ball...

As you may have guessed if you have (or have recently eaten) a brain cell or two in your rotting, undead corpse,  is a very unhappy Mario.  Mario is upset because he sold out back in 1998 when he teamed up with Ace here:  to bring you Mario Wrecking Crew '98.  Fortunately, none of you seemed to have the lapse in heterosexuality to actually have picked up this monstrosity.  My alternate theory is that we all played it at the same time in a dark, secluded room at the end of our high school careers, then ritualistically beat our heads with rusty shovels in an (apparently successful) attempt to forget the affair.  I came up with this theory as I viewed these sprites for the first time (or was it?) because of the odd tingling sensation in the back of my head.  This may have been just the power of suggestion working on my firmness in being straight or possibly an aftereffect of the jumbo permanent markers i'd taped under my nose, but i'm still leaning towards mass conspiracy and coverup.  It's just more fun.

The twentieth winner was Stephen Miller. = Alex of River City Ransom.  I know you're all excited about the animated gifs.  I wish I could claim responsibility for them, but I haven't properly formed a fabrication as of yet.
The 21st winner was Chase Gordon.  = the Dominoes Noid of Yo! Noid.  JT guessed the name first, but refused to send it to me.  The placement of the exclamation point in the title was critical for the win.  I guess he thought I was going to make fun of him or something.  Well, we can all learn a very important lesson from him: winners have no fear and are not JT.

The 22nd winner was David Gray.  He was the only one to guess, and because I made him.  The rest of you can die. = the nameless bastard from Crystalis.  The bonus sprite, = Santa of Secret of Mana.  He turns into the Frost Gigas.

The 23rd winner was Chase Gordon.  I think.  Anyway, many people correctly guessed that is Ryu from Ninja Gaiden.  He's going a little spastic in that *.gif apparently.  Someone must've touched his stash.

The 24th winner may or may not have been JT.  After my wailing on him with the Noid sprite, I figure he deserves some credit.  Whatever, there was an overwhelming force of you who eventually determined that  is Proto Man (and several other names, because the people at Capcom have some sort of attention disorder).  He's sort of the inspiration for Zero (see link on my  main page), so he has a special place in my uh... heart.

The 25th winner was a newcomer to the page, Q-tip from the Spelling forum.  Through his vast knowledge (of how to search the internet), he correctly determined that  is cultist No.124 of FF3/6 fame.  Many did recall that he was a cultist (JT even called him one of the numbered guys), so the rest of you shouldn't uh... lose hope or something.

The 26th winner was Olin.  I told all sorts of people that I had updated & no one came.  That's cool.  I hate you all.  Here's the sprite:  = Cloud in Final Fantasy Tactics.

The Sprite God decides all winners.  The Sprite God is displeased.  User "Zaku X" e-mailed me the correct response for the last sprite.  However, the knob failed to respond to my followup e-mail asking him who the hell he was.  Furthermore, he gave an all too specific title for , who is called "Mini Kraid" from Super Metroid.  He obviously just looked it up.  Therefore, he loses.  Instead of declaring myself winner (as would seem the natural option), I've decided to give JT credit for the 27th win.  He simply called him "Kraid."  This should teach all of you out there a new lesson.  Winners don't cheat and are not Jaku X.

Name this or the puppy gets it:

  I ain't jokin', neither.  Don't test me.  Are you testing me?  I didn't think so... wuss.

Be sure to check out the hint guy below if you can't figure it out.

  The name's like what he is - an 80's reject.
