(ZDNet) "Nintendo of America has announced the winner of its "What would you do for a GameCube?" contest. Corey Olcsvary beat out four other finalists from across the nation to become the contest's grand-prize winner. Olcsvary performed the most outrageous stunt, as he became a Pikmin by shaving his head, donning a leaf, painting himself blue, and eating a bowl of Pikmin food, which included worms and crickets. As his prize, Olcsvary took home a Nintendo GameCube, a Game Boy Advance handheld, a video game software package, and $5,000 in cash. "

What about that, I didn't know Akiman worked on Turn-A Gundam. And now he's working on a new Capcom game in the States... I wonder what he's up to? That Man Icon in Akiman's diary was made by Kinu Nishimura, according to his entries. And no, Kinu has no site.. but check her upcoming Diana in Akiman's site, coming up in the next update! -H.Moriarty

Short Comment- I was told by my friend Leon that the Photo may have come from VideoSenki.com, a fine Japanese issues centered game articles site. For goodness sakes.. webmasters, please ink your images so that they'd be easier to credit! Like that Xbox pic with the blatant Gamespot logo in the middle of the shot. Ok, that's going a bit too far. -H.Moriarty
