So yeah, a looooooooooooooooong time ago, chubigans began making a banner for tanod's PlayStation Store threads, featuring a screenshot or artwork of the biggest PSN release of the week. A game, a trailer, a demo. Anything.
One week, we were all expecting a demo of Smackdown vs. RAW 2007. So a (funny) screenshot of the game was used in the banner. But that demo never arrived. :'(

't Was a sad day and to keep the memory alive, the crotch grabbing wrestlers were added to every single following banner.
So...in (almost) every single banner between October 18, 2007 and August 21, 2008 you can find the nutlock.

In some it's very easy to spot them, in others they're hidden deep down in the backgrounds. A few are so-so, many others are masterpieces.

Enjoy them one last time !

And there's a little surprise at the end...

Here's chubigans' batch:

November 1 - Need for Speed: ProStreet

Amon37 · Aug 27, 2008

What a great run.

kenta · Aug 27, 2008

So is there a reason you guys are calling it quits on the nutlock? I was hoping to find that in the post but never saw it

Great work to all involved, though, it's been super fun looking for them every week

Also the MGS4 banner actually shows Burnout Paradise

burgerdog · Aug 27, 2008

Great job~

zoku88 · Aug 27, 2008

Some of those a really clever (like the island one.)

test_account · Aug 27, 2008

So the wrestlers are being replaced with Sackboy? If so, i wouldnt mind that since the Sackboy is pretty cool

I also think the wrestlers are pretty cool though

Great work on these banners and thank for posting all the banners!

Huggers · Aug 27, 2008

I'll actually miss finding them each week! Awesome work

depward · Aug 27, 2008

I loved spotting the wrestlers. Seriously, the time you guys take to set up the weekly thread / banner is awesome and something I always look forward to every Thurs.

Keep up the extremely awesome work!

Yeah, it was fun trying to spot them every week!

Those banners and thread made my Thursdays. Even though sometimes the content wasn't up to par, I could at least get a laugh out of the banner. They'll be missed

Replicant · Aug 27, 2008

Good job. I wasn't aware of it until the Bionic Commando one. I was thinking "WTH is that banner about?"

Goldrusher said:
November 8 - Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

obvious

:lol :lol :lol I laughed so hard when I saw this one.

TheMissingLink · Aug 27, 2008

Fun times, thanks gentlemen.

Classic_Gs · Aug 27, 2008

haha so awesome, and I am ready for Sackboys!

kamorra · Aug 27, 2008

So it's over now? No more wrestlers? (;_°)

Dante · Aug 27, 2008

End of an era ;_;

YYZ · Aug 27, 2008

One of the most clever ones is that MS2 island shot, that ranks among the top.

dallow_bg · Aug 27, 2008

*salute*

I've been there since the start.
Thanks guys.

chubigans · Aug 27, 2008

*sniff* I'll miss you wrestlers. I really will.

ChryZ · Aug 27, 2008

chubigans · Aug 27, 2008

Goldrusher has done an amazing job. I do want to point out that this one...

...has two spots for the wrestlers, not just the one in the spoiler. Muhahaha!

Dizzan · Aug 27, 2008

Always liked the Afrika one. Thank for the hard work on these guys. I always look forward to these threads.

VGChampion · Aug 27, 2008

When I saw the PSN thread last week I was disappointed because ever since you guys started doing them, finding them was more fun than what was released some weeks. But this thread is awesome. Trip down memory lane. :lol

And, if you're starting with sackboy's, well, that's even cooler than the wrestlers. maybe.

chubigans · Aug 27, 2008

Goodbye, heroes.

Yoshichan · Aug 27, 2008

Good bye, wrestlers... so much for entering the PSN stores :/

warthog · Aug 27, 2008

I've read the OP like 6 times and I'm not seeing it. Are you going to use sackboys from now on or something?

Haunted · Aug 27, 2008

Some of those are really well done. :lol

careksims · Aug 27, 2008

*bows* thanks for the memories. An end of an era. Every Thursday I looked forward to these guys. Better go save every one of them!

Kittonwy · Aug 27, 2008

Why u stop?

xBerserker · Aug 27, 2008

It was always fun each week to search for those. You've done a amazing job on all those.

Will the easter egg hunt continue with Sackboy??

Das-J · Aug 27, 2008

I looked forward to the hunt every week... well done sirs!

Ephemeris · Aug 27, 2008

One of the best things about the weekly thread.

It's been fun.
