  • Jsmuli2, on 04/25/2008, -1/+52I've been playing that ***** game for over 15 years and he hasn't fixed *****!

    Basement sink Mario, BASEMENT SINK!
  • saladinzero, on 04/25/2008, -1/+48I was just thinking the same. Why would you tag something like that? Idiots.
  • bwishey, on 04/25/2008, -3/+41That is so awesome.

    Whenever there's 8bit themed art I am always compelled to shamelessly plug my old senior thesis. It's relevant...!

  • mercano, on 04/25/2008, -0/+24Actually, the NES only let you use four colors in a background tile and three in a sprite. (The fourth sprite color was transparent.)
  • slimkevi, on 04/25/2008, -5/+26Luigi needs to come fix this. I mean, we all know that Mario is probably off trying to save the princess...... again.
  • Sendai129, on 04/25/2008, -0/+16Naw, he's buggered off in some castle or something. Call in Luigi.
  • devin_mm, on 04/25/2008, -0/+16Those idiots would tag the statue of david if they could.
  • kevyn, on 04/25/2008, -1/+13I'm sure Luigis kart is slightly faster... meaning a better call out time also
  • HydrogenOxide, on 04/25/2008, -1/+12Reminds me of Mario: Game Over http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpBGRA6HHtY
    "I don't want to talk to that bastard! He took my warp whistle"
  • QaSpel, on 04/25/2008, -3/+14How do you know it was 8 bit? I only saw 5 colors, which could be as low as 4 bit...
  • TheRealToma, on 04/25/2008, -0/+10And he takes forever doing it because hes always getting the wrong castle. :)
  • FFXIfrohike, on 04/25/2008, -0/+9Ouch.. here's a comment on Flickr:

    "This is on 9th street between 2nd and 3rd Ave, right by where Stuyvesant St. branches off. Near NYU's Barney Building
    Looks like your photographer got there before i did (and consequently before some jerk tagged it)"
  • kevyn, on 04/25/2008, -4/+13nice work - but seriously, just step out the house for 10 minutes... just to stay human
  • goodkidyo, on 04/25/2008, -0/+9itsameeeeemaaariooo*
  • inactive, on 04/25/2008, -0/+8Not you apparently.
  • Jade10145, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7Almost looks shopped even though I know its not..Its strange when reality starts to look fantasy..
  • KennMac, on 04/25/2008, -1/+8Objective:
    1. Find someone potentially more intelligent than self.
    2. Bring person down to own level with derogatory insult.
    3. Feel better about self.
  • runep, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6Isn't that the definition of tagging?
  • GhostyBoy, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6Near my old house there was this bridge with absolutely stunning graffiti, but some talentless dickhole with no talent took a can of black spray paint and tagged ***** all over the whole piece. I see ***** like that and it makes me sad and furious.
  • awtripp, on 04/25/2008, -1/+7That nob on the flickr board commenting about "tagging being part of street art" is clueless. tagging other peoples ***** is what gives street art bad cred. tagging doesn't even make sense, all it is saying is "look i has the special writing skillz!" i mean really taggers, 'street art' is about adding creative style where it wouldn't normally be seen, not about signing your stupidly written "name" (whatever douche bag handle you've decided to give yourself) to someone else's creation -- that is just vandalism straight up, no debate.
  • euro22, on 12/17/2008, -0/+64. ???
    5. Profit.
  • racco, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5proof thats its not all about the graphics when it comes to looking good!
  • bakagaigin, on 04/25/2008, -1/+6I like his sweater though... And she's pretty cute...
  • Jwoey, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5i'd take a sick day and play all day long in my foam shower.
  • ramunenke, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5If he was a real man, he would have moved in with her and kept her from getting kidnapped every five seconds. I think Luigi with his bachelor lifestyle is the only one who can help
  • vdawg0nessa, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5Reminds me of what i did in my living room with origami paper.

    Above the Goomba it says Digg and on a another wall i put Diggnation.

  • FLAESHAL, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4That's pretty cool. How many pixels made one block? I'm somewhat interested in making that.
  • kewbert, on 04/25/2008, -3/+6Dang, I thought this was really cool until I read this. Wonder what the moron artist was thinking, water out of a fuel tank vent pipe.
  • kevisazombie, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3need to tighten up the graphics on stage 3
  • AlexBucket, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3The guy or lady who did this is very talented. Kudos for such a great digg!
  • isiz, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3@Runep, even if it is a graffiti artist should never write over something better than what he's got..
  • funkytommyman, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Is it actually 3-dimensional? Or are the shadows painted in?
  • MrFurious2k, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2I'm going to be on the look out for flowers that appear out of pipes that shoot 8-bit fireballs.
  • isiz, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2No. You cannot.
  • ohhoe, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3Some people pronounce it differently. I know people that say mary-o and I know people that say maaaar e o
  • raintheory, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2it's "Patchouli", not "Petulie".
  • badarabdad, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2the girl who took that photo is really beautiful!
  • CurlyMike139125, on 04/27/2008, -0/+2Your joke looked more like you being retarded than a joke.
  • bot001220, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3Part 2 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uZr3JWYdy8
  • CurlyMike139125, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1Buried for referring to people who's age you don't know as "you kids"
  • inactive, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1There can never be enough 8-bit Art and Music for me. Automatic Digg.
  • KennMac, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2Judging from your diggs... I don't think anyone understands your sarcasm.
  • computrius, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Yes, because its 8 bit art, it MUST be mario.. Mario was, after all, the only game ever made with 8 bit graphics..
  • jon02129, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Oh, thanks for the confirmation, i thought it was digitally manipulated using Adobe Photoshop ©.
  • wondertwins, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1He has to first save his princess in order to fix your basment sink
