The 3d Dot Game Heroes of 3d Dot Game Heroes

Atlus’ Zeldariffic action-adventure-comedy RPG 3D Dot Game Heroes is already out, and the user-created heroes are already starting to pour in at the official Hall of Heroes, where people who own the game can upload and download said creations. As expected, some of the designs are homages to 8-bit characters, like the bikers from Excite Bike or the Pac-Man ghosts. And the rest of the designs?

This is probably the first and only time we’ll ever see the Blue Screen of Death as a hero. The real surprise? There are zero pixel penis heroes. Good job, gamers!

3d Dot Game Hero Character Creator in Action

Chomping at the bit (or is that champing at the bit?) to get your hands on 3D Dot Game Heroes for your PS3? With the game hitting consoles on May 11th, you won’t have to wait much longer. But while you wait, Sony has released a brief (and humorous) video which shows off a glimpse of the game’s unique character creator.

Just sit back, press play and enjoy…

From the way things look, you’ll be able to make just about any dot-game persona or weaponry you want, simply by moving bricks around on a 3D grid. While I understand how that would work to create the pixelated characters of the game, I’m not sure how they made that decidedly un-pixely weapon that looks like a fish. I guess we’ll just have to wait a few more weeks so we can try it out for ourselves.

Technabob Seeks Writers

It’s that time again. Technabob is looking for a few good writers to expand its coverage of all things geeky, gadgety and gamey. If you’re fanatical about video games, gadgets, electronics, hack & mods, or generally offbeat tech stuff, you could be just the guy or gal we’re looking for.

You’ll need to be able to source your own stories, and be able to write with wit, sass, attitude or at least be slightly charming. You’ve also got to be consistent. I’m looking for people who can write 7 to 10 posts a week, maybe more if the readers fall in love with what you have to say. A solid grip on the English language is also a must. You should also have at least some experience using blog software such as WordPress, Blogger or Movable Type – and basic image cropping and sizing in Photoshop or other image editing tools is required.

Now before you get dollar signs in your eyes, I’ll tell you that blogging for Technabob won’t make you a millionaire. But it’s a great opportunity to expose your literary talents to hundreds of thousands of readers each month.

Want to give it a shot? Pick a topic that you think will appeal to Technabob readers, and send along at least two appropriate writing samples to tips@technabob.com. Be sure to include your contact information, and a brief note on why you’d be the perfect addition to the Technabob crew.

I look forward to reading your submissions.
