If gaming was a religion and it put up a gaming church, then you would definitely find this stained glass design on its windows. Toad has been seen in all sorts of memorabilia, but how often do you see gaming characters on stained glass?

After losing three consecutive games of FIFA 2008 (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, DS) to his brother and a friend, 17-year-old James Callaghan nearly emptied a bottle of vodka, armed himself with an axe and a long-bladed knife, and went on a drunken rampage around the neighborhood that left an unfortunate 65-year-old widow dead.

The time-traveling classic, Chrono Trigger, from the then Enix-less Squaresoft is definitely one of the best RPGs of its generation, with an equally stimulating soundtrack to stir you up. But just when you thought you've heard it all, some guys apparently found the subtle midi melodies not down enough, so here they are, jamming to the Crono's theme music, the Chrono Trigger Rap.

Oh, before I forget, there's gonna be some language, be advised.

Folks at Lee County, FL, can now breathe a sigh of relief - their most wanted fugitive is now behind bars! Daniel Larson, 32, who holds an extensive criminal resume, attempted to steal US$ 120 worth of Nintendo DS games in a Walmart at Cape Coral by cramming them all down his pants. Walmart security thankfully didn't need to body-frisk down there, and now Lee County's most wanted has finally been detained...again.

Sonic fans are a dedicated lot. No matter the depths recent Sonic games have sunk to, they're still there, waiting for the spiky speedster to race back into glory. There are also the very few who take their dedication to new heights -- fans like Rich Kuta, who is actually making a feature-length animated Sonic film.

When Limit Break posted a Mario Family Line about two weeks ago to enumerate every released title and spin-off in Mario's history, veteran game journalist Jim Sterling commented, "I'd be really interested to see this guy do a chart for Mega Man as well... but that's probably a project that could take a lifetime to complete." For Destructoid community member megaStryke, it took just a week.

Ever since Rockstar's highly lucrative Grand Theft Auto franchise started raking in the cash, there have been rumors that it was going to be adapted for the silver screen. Heck, even rapper Eminem was rumored to be attached to a GTA movie at one time. Rockstar, on the other hand, has deflected all rumors and offers so far. Why? Because they need to protect their baby from being misrepresented by a suck-tastic movie made only to capitalize on the series' accomplishments.

Here's some Mario arts and crafts project for you to do over the weekend. It's Paper Mario Hammer, and it's created by ddi7i4d of the Nintendo Papercraft forums. See, it can even move!

Sometimes, when your imagination is running at full blast and you have very little outlet, you tend to go a little stupid. At least, that's what happens to me. When I ran across this one, I was all, "What?! That huge Gundam in Tokyo floats now?!" Seconds later, I realized how stupid that sounded, especially when you realize that the news concerns a Gundam float and not a floating Gundam.

Revolutionizing the way you wake up is this fun alarm clock spotted at online retail site, Thumbs Up. It's very much reminiscent of the arcade dance machine for Dance Dance Revolution, but it doesn't carry the trademark from Konami. It does, however, make your fingers dance on the lit arrow keys every time you beg the morning to give you five more minutes.
