Once again the time has come to pause and take note of the previous five hundred entries published here on Press The Buttons.  Coming in at a grand total of thirty-five hundred articles, I've certainly kept busy!  We've seen a lot come (and go) since we last took stock of the situation back in July 2010.  There's been fun with arranged music, some time spent with AJ LoCascio on Power Button, plenty of interesting artwork from a few favorite franchises, a deeper look at the concept document for Aero the Acro-Bat, recounts of how and when I acquired parts of my gaming collection, the arrival and departure of the Press The Buttons video show, and much more.  Here are a few of my favorite features that have appeared here since the last time we convened for a recap.

• The Ups And Downs Of Fan Translations (Great games transcend different languages)

• Zebes On Parade: The Art Of Super Metroid (Samus Aran's big adventure spawned its share of great artwork)

• Power Button - Episode 21: Garth Chouteau Of PopCap Games Brings The Zombies And Zumas (Plus A Diegetic Discussion) (We go deep into a discussion about in-game music in our second segment)

• The Simpsons Arcade Game Remembered By Season 13 DVD (Great artwork found in a surprising place)

• Fun With Arranged Music (A five-part series spotlighting memorable game music remixes)

• Scott Pilgrim Vs The Uninterested Mainstream (What went wrong?)
