You Make Me Sick… People That Talk To Pets More Than God (part two of three)

by Matthew Edward Hawkins

Who’s ready for round two of Repository of Random highlights? Here’s part one for anyone that missed it. But before all that…

So I Pissed A Stripper Off

Previously, I passed along my favorite recent posts from GameSetWatch, and again must reminder everyone that there’s TWO sites that I contributed towards full-time (hence why this blog gets barely any attention these days).

Though also once more, most of what I post is there is for a mainstream audience… but that doesn’t necessarily mean I post mainstream stuff. Guess it falls within that range, generally speaking. Then there’s times in which… well… here’s my faves from that end:

- Witness not just one, but two girls dressed like Laura Croft pole dancing! And then scroll down to the comments section, where I get yelled at by one of them.

- While everyone was off, enjoying fireworks and hot dogs for the 4th of July, what was I up to? Busting my hump and doing my job, that’s what. Mostly cuz I enjoyed the 4th on the 3rd (that’s when John‘s BBQ in LI was this year).

- Okay, clips of folks going up to fast food drive through and grabbing ice cream at the top? Whatever. But dressed as Ash from Pokemon? Now that’s funny.

- Naturally I had to post about the nude Sylvia Christel viewer in the Japanese version of No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise somewhere. BTW, here’s a far better, and more detailed look at the goods.

- Her name is Keisha Fabo and she is every Sims’ nightmare.

- The game Audiosurf is ultimately only as exciting as your music folder. Well, do you have any mp3 files from porn inside?

- Okay, pretty much everyone and their moms know already that Freddy Krueger is coming to Mortal Kombat. But don’t care, reposting anyway; it’s all I could talk about at last weekend’s Anamanaguchi show.

- Her name is Lara and she likes to play video game music on her violin, often dressed as a character from the same game.

- And finally, the first of several reports from all the press events that’s been happening in NYC as of late, kicking off with Namco Bandai. Am only rebroadcasting it here simply because even I can’t believe what an Ace Combat fanboy I’ve all of a sudden become.

Oh, and a few extra GSW links, new ones since last time:

- Only three hours left to go to fund Robots Love Ice Cream. Cuz anyone who has the box of U.N. Squadron for the SNES on his desk while making games surely deserves the support!

- For fans of Jet Set Radio and Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure (which everyone said was really good, but Marc Ecko telling everyone at GDC how they’re assholes and how amazing he is after just one game under his belt left a bad taste in my mouth), here comes another that deals heavily with graffiti culture (why there aren’t more, I still don’t get either).

- Even though Mega Man Legends 3 fans aren’t making the games themselves (even though Capcom said it was totally cool… more or less), they’re still trying to get the project officially restarted, and thus far things are going great I guess?

- And using an old Chris Crawford game to understand the nuclear meltdown that happened in Japan after the earthquake and tsunamis.

Okay Am I Being Cursed By God 4 Fingers A Girl’s Butt?

Anyway, enough with the plugs (hey, the only way I’m going to keep my jobs is if folks know about and check out my work, so please, click those links), cuz it’s time for…
