Giant Bomb: Patrick Chicago Sendoff - "This Woman's Work" Edition

User Typographenia of Giant Bomb made a sendoff video for Patrick Klepek's move to Chicago, using Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" as the song. User TruthTellah then took the original video footage and changed the song to Russell Watson's "Where My Heart Will Take Me".

This gave me the inspiration to make my own version of the video. I changed the song and added some stuff at the end. Patrick Klepek will be missed.

Also, I just realized this video is my first action as a 25-year-old. Happy Birthday to me!

Here is the original video by Typographenia.

The Art of Video Games: StreetPassin'

This is the last video we shot at the exhibit on September 2nd, 2012. After checking out the guestbook for the second time, I was reminded that I had my 3DS in my pocket the entire time. I soon discovered that several other people had the same idea...

Oddly enough, the last time I StreetPass'd was back in December 2011 at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History.

StreetPass 2: Giant Bomb Staff Edition

I haven't had a lot of luck with StreetPass encounters. Shortly after the aforementioned post, I met two other Miis in the form of Gamessa and Clif, making for a total of three people I've come across since the launch of the 3DS in March. My experience with this feature has been disappointing, especially since receiving duplicate puzzle pieces in Puzzle Swap is common when purchased with Play Coins, as opposed to being guaranteed a new piece when encountering a fellow player. Having never been to a convention where it's common for people to pack their 3DS, I was excited to see what would happen when I visited the Whiskey Media office on June 24th. Arriving back at my hotel later that night, I had completely forgotten that my 3DS was still on and in my pocket. I excitedly took it out and booted up StreetPass Mii Plaza to be greeted with this:

As you can see from the second pic, I totally had the inside scoop on Matt Kessler's first review.

I then loaded up Puzzle Swap to reap my rewards.

Patrick helped me finally complete my Mario and Bowser puzzle.

Getting a new piece for the Metroid: Other M panel in Puzzle Swap.

Though I've technically finished Find Mii, I still have a few more hats to collect. Here's what the guys look like when pissed off at ghosts.

I also had the StreetPass functionality for Super Street Fighter IV turned on, and was surprised when I saw that Jeff was one of my opponents since I didn't encounter his Mii.

And those are probably the last StreetPass encounters I'm going to have for a very long time.

Oh, and if there was still any doubt as to the identity of the man in the following photo (from this thread), I think Ryan's Mii is enough evidence to lay this mystery to rest:
