Thought we were done with Twilight Princess stories? Sure the game's over four years old, and is about to be supplanted by the next console sequel in just a few months, but sneaking in at the buzzer is a surprising reveal of a proposed (but unaccepted) design for a Twilight Princess GameCube controller. The special edition pad was designed by Nubytech (famous for its RE4 chainsaw controller) but never made it out the door.
Got $330 available in your "shit I really shouldn't buy" fund? You'd be wise to spend it on the latest offering from First 4 Figures - a one-quarter scale statue of Wolf Link and Midna from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Look at it! Midna's friggin hair glows!

From the article: A new book has popped up on Amazon.com titled The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy. It will be edited by Luke Cuddy and will be released on November 28. The Legend of Zelda is the first video game to get the treatment from any of the philosophy publishers. However, Popular Culture and Philosophy also has World of Warcraft and Philosophy lined up for release sometime in 2009.
You may remember last weekend when Kotaku posted about the guys at cameronbanga.com who tried to make it through four Zelda games in 48 hours. Due to some glitches, they weren't able to squeeze in all four games but still managed to raise over $1200 for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. So, in an attempt to make up what they couldn't finish, the boys are at it again but this time they have given themselves eleven hours to complete Twilight Princess. The marathon gaming session will again benefit Child's Play and will be the first in a series of charity driven weekend gaming sessions.
