Post an Awesome Metroid-Related Image! - VGF

Just like the title says. Cumulative awesomeness of the Metroid variety. Bonus points for making it Valentine's Day related. Points can be redeemed for a Metroid-flavored ice cream at the end of your visit. I wouldn't suggest you try tasting it, though... I think they used a little too much Kraid in the mix.

^ Pure awesome. Crocomire win.

Remind me when I get home--I've got some good ones on my computer there.

GRENTLEMEN · 02-13-2008, 08:08 AM

^^ That's a really freaky image, with the eyes/mouth on the metroid.

I imagine the dialogue actually being something like this:

"METROID SEASON!"
"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEE"
*squishy, sucking sounds*

Almost forgot the next image! This one's from the German player's guide to Super Metroid, so I doubt many people have seen it:

GRENTLEMEN · 02-14-2008, 05:50 AM

Man, I don't know if you guys get it. It doesn't have to even be a Metroid pic. Just related. Scour the net. Find that elusive image of Samus fighting Master Chief (why the hell is everyone obsessed with that?), post a VGcats comic, whatever.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 02-14-2008, 05:54 AM

Possibly the best cosplay I've ever seens yes.

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-14-2008, 01:18 PM

I have one. It's a bit bloody, so if you are squeamish of blood, you will want to instead imagine a bloodless unicorn.

GRENTLEMEN · 02-14-2008, 05:59 PM

^ Seen that one. It's fully amazing, even if it's of my favorite heroine whilst mortally wounded. Seriously awesome.

**Wyborn** · 02-14-2008, 07:46 PM

That looks like official art from the first game, only with fewer bones and more nudity.

***Ace Mercury*** · 02-14-2008, 07:56 PM

Ooh. That's a nice one.

GRENTLEMEN · 02-14-2008, 11:14 PM

^^First PRIME game, you mean.

Yes, it certainly does. I think it's mostly original, though. Obviously, the style was nice enough for the artist to want to either copy it or modify it. I think the nudity is done tastefully, even if it's not exactly necessary.

GRENTLEMEN · 02-16-2008, 04:44 AM

This one is somebody's take on what Super Metroid would look like with updated/hi-def graphics:

^^ That comic was sweet. Retardedly cute.

Tad Venture · 02-16-2008, 03:59 PM

And this one. It's big. I don't care.

**Wyborn** · 02-16-2008, 11:48 PM

Because Kirby increases the awesomeness of any picture by a factor of seventy. ....thousand.

GRENTLEMEN · 02-16-2008, 11:52 PM

METROID IS A GIRL. I used to own that comic. Captain N was awesomely awful.

That iceclimber?/parka Metroid one is very cute. Very strange, too.

The other one, I have. It is very rad. I think I prefer the other ones that particular artist did to that one, though. Didn't save them for some reason. I'll have to find them.

WHOANOW KIRBY. That brings to mind all sorts of horrible possibilities.
