Pixelblocks are a construction toy, similar to LEGOs, except that Pixelblocks come in only one size and shape of brick, which can be attached together in all three dimensions. The principle behind Pixelblocks is that you can assemble these uniform pieces into any form imaginable, just as a television screen can display any image using millions of different color pixels.

Consequently, one of the common applications of Pixelblocks is to make sprites of classic video game characters. Like, if you wanted to make a model of Sonic the Hedgehog to hang up on your wall, you could buy enough blue and white Pixelblocks and make it yourself. Or, if you wanted to customize your Sonic, maybe make him yellow, with a Pikachu tail... yeah, we think you see where we're going with this...

Basically, Pixelblocks are another way for Chris to crowbar his fantasies into reality, just like drawing shitty comics, homemade Yu-gi-oh! cards customizable video games like Little Big Planet and Animal Crossing, and so on. Until holodecks are invented, the only way Chris can hang out with Sonichu (character) in real life is to build him, and Pixelblocks provide a way to do that.

Stuff Chris has built from Pixelblocks

While a full survey of Chris's bedroom is difficult at best, one can spot a few Pixelblock constructs hanging on the walls in his YouTube videos. Among them:

  • Sonichu (natch)
  • Rosechu
  • Super Mario
  • Samus Aran from "Metroid"
  • Sonic the Hedgehog
  • Link from "The Legend of Zelda"
  • A Playstation 3 (partially composed of LEGOs)

Pixelblocks in Sonichu

Pixelblocks appeared twice in Sonichu #4. According to Chris's own diary entries, he would play with them at Wal-Mart, so this may be why he used them in the comics adapting his confrontations with the Manajerks there.

In Sub-Episode 4, Chris-Chan Sonichu constructed a decoy of himself to confuse B-Manajerk. When he struck the decoy with his battle axe, the blow sent Pixelblocks flying into his face, injuring him.

In Sub-Episode 5, the Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan revealed that Chris could use his Sonichu Medallion to imbue special powers to the Heart Torch, a Pixelblock model he had constructed. Chris followed his advice, and used the empowered Heart Torch to summon his dream sibling, who helped him defeat the W-M-Manajerk

Could Pixelblocks Help Chris Lose His Virginity?

No.
