Error Macro: Weekend Newspost for May 25, 2008

The official Capcom blog has released the first image of Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li, despite looking not at all like Chun Li. Kotaku makes an interesting observation about her necklace, though. To be honest, what's really worth noting here is that you can go to Capcom's Flickr pool and get this image bigger than you could ever possibly need it. Seriously. I was planning on hosting it here and doing the old "click above for full size" but then I started downloading it and saw that it was five megs and said hahahaha no sir

I probably shouldn't even do a weekend newspost because there will likely be little additional news on Monday due to the holiday. But what the hell.
