I can't believe snaking was actually deliberately designed, holy crap.

How old does something have to be before the "currently in print" thing comes to lapse?Dragona Akehi said:Just a clarification: the prohibition on scans only applies to commerical magazines currently in print.
Even then, covers, tables of contents and advertisements from those commercial magazines are permitted on GAF.
looks awefully like a VGA connectorDrkirby said:How old does something have to be before the "currently in print" thing comes to lapse?
Also, what kind of connector is this one:

I'm getting a weird late Disney, Emperor's New Groove-sort of vibe from the picture in the top right corner. I know I've seen the bottom part of it before, with the three Links. Interesting to see how they considered what sort of age to make Link for Wind Waker!SpacePirate Ridley said:Someone is now dead because of this scan surely:

Fuck yeah.Andrex said:OMFG that mecha-koopa bike would have been awesome!!
May I suggest flickr?mehdi_san said:Scanning is almost done. What's a good way to upload the pictures at high quality?
I was actually thinking of a thread where we'd just put all the behind-the-scenes/archive pictures and perhaps have a bunch of fans contribute to some sort of printable fanbook(?) from the Iwata Asks articles and other sources, but that would depend on how much content we could find.mehdi_san said:OK, this should be the last update: I finished scanning the book and uploaded them to a tinypic account (small resolution) and a dropbox account (raw files from the scanner at 600dpi, ~6mb per file).
Now, since we may not get a new title for this thread, I was thinking we should create a new one with a proper title. This way, the thread will get more attention, and the high-res pictures won't be at the 4th or 5th page. Problem is: i'm still a junior, so I need the help from a member...

I don't have a scanner but i can snap a few pics of the inside if anyone's curious about other illustrations. Variations on Tetra and whatnot.

If you have stuff you want to say in an OP I could help.
mehdi_san said:Wait, so we are opening a new thread right? Who's doing it? MisterHero?
