Intrepid Homoludens

Definitely I'd love to see a photo spread* of Hanna and Rain from Fear Effect: Retro Helix. Nothing like a couple of beautiful lesbian lovers to move the straight man's heart (and other body parts for that matter). I may just turn breeder for them.** * As it were. ** If only for one night.

You straight guys suck! Why doesn't Playgirl or Advocate Male come out with an issue featuring a naked Sam Fisher or Prince of Persia?!

"Bitch, you just wait til I escape! I'm gonna castrate you and your whole family!" Data Design Interactive have just partnered with the maker of Habitrail (those colourful plastic modulars that make up your pet hamster's crib)... Game Informer Oh man, Habitrail! This brings back memories from the 70's (along with Jake's disturbing post of those arcade nerds pics). My parents never let me have a hamster, let alone a Habitrail, but we at least had one at 3rd grade in school in our homeroom. Anybody old enough to remember that? They still make 'em, I imagine. D'you think PETA would get pissed over this?

Done!

Yeah, and I always seem to get my ass kicked over there whenever I bring up even the suggestion of progress or innovation.

You think so?! Honestly, I was that close to actually posting it as news, but after doing some research I felt this looked to be just another kiddie game on level with those Lego racers and such, out there but not much in terms of impact. I could post it as news if you want. Whatcha say, guys?

Are you serious?! Is there not any freelook option, either, where you can pan up and down and around you?

(In partnership with Idle Thumbs, gaming news at its most charmingly dysfunctional.)

4D? d00d, that is soooo, like, 5 minutes ago! 5D is where it's at!

Wait a minute. Excuse my lametatiousness, but this game is supposed to be action/adventure, right? For some reason I was thinking it was a strategy game. Or was that Antaeus Rising? Wasn't that an RPG?

8 billion and one if you count the next thread Moos is about to post....any....second....now..... Oh, and to make sure you don't wrinkle up again, Jake:

I should have attached a smiley to that post: Okay, Jake, okay!! We'll just dismiss Kingz as a dork and I'll take your word for it.

Umm, I think they're all trying hard to look like badasses, OftenK. Sad, isn't it?

Okay, Jake, okay!! We'll just dismiss Kingz as a dork and I'll take your word for it.

I don't think Cimabue would have been allowed to try that either, if only for the risk that he'd end up making the Prince look like the freaking Virgin Mary in a turban.

I shouldn't look at all this stuff anymore. I should do a gamer's blackout to Psychonauts as did to Half-Life 2, the last thing I'd want is to see yet another new character in screenshot or preview when I should have saved that pleasure for when I finally play the game. to Moos!

Sorry, I can't read Japanese.

Just been to Gametrailers again. Counterstrike: Source - A runthrough showing one of the desert maps. Silent Hill 4: The Room - Gameplay featuring fun with monsters, and that weird-ass double baby headed one. Half-Life 2 - Familiar medley of scenes, but still nice to see in anticipation of the release. Fable - This one's over 40 minutes so grab a drink and relax; Peter Molyneux talks, and so does his team. Goldeneye: Rogue Agent - Rene Morel (Final Fantasy: Spirits Within CGI characters), Sir Ken Adams (Bond movies production designer), and Takushi Sato (Silent Hill series characters), worked on this one. :deadman: Vampire The Maquerade: Bloodlines - Seductive E3 trailer.

What, Marek? Last time I was seen with him I didn't get arrested, so....yeah, I think he's legal.

Congratulations again, Marek.

Thanks for explaining your [all too] subtle brand of sarcasm in MSN, Jake. But I'm still not gonna let you get away with leading me on. This is for not using an ironic smiley:

Have you heard the voicework?
