    Alright, I'm in. It was the Shadow of the Colossus reference that sold me.

    I feel like a horrible geek for saying this, but the trench leading toward the thermal exhaust port on the Death Star is supposed to be near its north pole.

    Isn't the code up up down down left right left right B A *start* ?
    Or am I mixing my Konami and Capcom codes again?

    @vkevlar: And anyway, if you've memorized it as "- start" rather than "- select, start", it gives away that you didn't have any friends. :p

    I really love the inclusion of Shadow of the Colossus here, but what's the black box in the lower left?

    @Darklighter: It's a reference to a boss fight in Metal Gear Solid (Hideo standing for Hideo Kojima), where your controls don't respond because of Psycho Mantis (the gas-masked guy to the right of the box). The solution is to switch from controller port 1 to 2 so he can't mind control you, which is depicted here as well.

    Wait...wait, no, don't do that. He's standing on his STRONG leg. He's trying to bait you into getting close for a sweep so that he can kick you with it.

    MY weak spot is excellently illustrated and designed art that references pop culture.

    Good stuff.

    What are the middle and the second from the left under "Classics" supposed to be? Also the mecha next to Bowser? Who's that?

    @phoenix6666: The first one looks like a zombie to me (aim for the head), and the one next to Bowser is a Colossus from Shadow of the Colossus.

    @phoenix6666: The middle one under classics is a werewolf. The weakness is silver (Ag on the periodic table).

    If you meant the one in the middle of the image (the one next to the chain chomper), that's the Karate Kid.

    Everyone knows when you take down an AT-AT you go for the legs, not the neck.

    @spyguy99: That depends on the takedown method. Blasters to the neck, tow cables to the legs.

    @spyguy99: Not in one of the earliest video games. Can't recall off the top of my head which game (I think it was for the NES, maybe SNES), but you had to hit the AT-ATs in a tiny little blinking spot in the neck with your snowspeeder. It was crazy.
