I make a sincere effort to remain on track with the subject matter here, but I found a way to justify this post.

Or the urban backdrops of old NES and Famicom games.

If you like what you’ve seen here, then head over to the full Flickr set and gush about the genius of this project in the comments section. You’ll feel better about yourself, and all of those who’ve wronged Max Capacity in the past will solemnly weep with regret as they witness him dance in a downpour of exaltation.
