N+

It's October, which for me basically means it's Halloween for an entire month. The spooky, dark, mysterious creatures like bats, cats, ghosts, skeletons, zombies, witches, and yes, even demon dogs like Houndoom are all a wonderful fit for the spirit of Halloween, which is why this month I bring you the spooky Houndoom Halloween style for N+.

Houndoom has always been one of my favorite Pokemon (I even have a shiny one in Soul Silver), and since Halloween is my favorite Holiday, it was a perfect match-up, I couldn't resist. In the image you can see the crazy-orange Harvest Moon coloring the fog surrounding the dark mountains behind our hero. I hope this gets you in the mood for trick-or-treating or cosplaying. Help yourself to the complimentary wallpaper sized version here: N+ Art Gallery.

Also IGN, you better not let me catch you stealing this or anymore of my art to use without my permission or credit, jerks.

A Keldeo event has been announced for English versions of Pokémon Black and White.

The event, run through select US GameStop stores, will begin on August 27, 2012, and continue until October 6, 2012. The last day of the distribution is the day prior to the release of Pokémon Black and White 2.

The Keldeo is the same as the one currently being distributed in Japan for players who pre-ordered tickets for the presently screening Kyurem vs. the Sacred Swordsman - Keldeo. It arrives in a Cherish Ball at level 15, holding PP Max, with the moves Aqua Jet, Leer, Double Kick and Bubblebeam.

When Keldeo is taken to Moor of Icirrus with Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, it can learn the move Secret Sword. When Keldeo is transferred to Black 2 and White 2, it can also learn Secret Sword under the same circumstances at Oath Woods. Knowing Secret Sword in Black 2 and White 2 will cause Keldeo to transform into its Resolute Form.

Today Swapnote gets an update that seems awesome, and then isn't really...

The update gives you the ability to use colored pens in your drawings now, but only one color at a time. Really, that's how it works, not even a black drawing can have color with it. You switch your palette using the left and right sides of the D-Pad, which doesn't change just your pen color, but also any ink you have already laid down on the canvas.

Hi everyone! This months theme is really late, but I think it's still really good, and that's because it is all photographs that me and Anton took while playing in our home town "Rosewood" from Animal Crossing: City Folk! All the photos of the girl are me, and all the photos of the boy are him, aren't our characters cute!

Anyways, these are all special memories for us, and some of these photos stretch back a few years, we have been playing almost every single day since it came out. It was very difficult for us to choose these photos because there are thousands of photos to search through, and there are sooooo many good ones that didn't make it. I hope you enjoy these anyway, I think some of them are so funny!

Instead of giving you a wallpaper this month, we made it so that you can get the custom made tile from the background! If you use this tile for your desktop wallpaper and in the settings choose "tile" or "repeat" or whatever, it will make a perfect summer grass tile on your computer and will fit any resolution screen perfect! What do you think of our theme, or what is your favorite photo on display?

I'll never forget the day I purchased Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past back in 1991. I could barely wait to get home and start playing it. To this day, I enjoy the heck out of playing the game - it never seems to lose its charm.

A Link To The Past is often referred to as one of the greatest games of all time...and for good reason. It is! Everything within the game seems to click perfectly; starting with the title screen. Even that is awesome!
