PEOPLE WE FEEL SORRY FOR: #3

Anyone who works for a company that’s so desperate to make money it has to sign a licensing deal with the Crazy Frog.

Like, for example, “the German software publisher dtp” which “has acquired the rights to the Crazy Frog from the licensing agency Wallaroo” which means that “the product will be released during the upcoming Christmas season and supported by various merchandising and PR activities.”

*EMAILS JAMSTER RE BANNER ADVERTISING POSSIBILITIES ON UKR*

“Hi Steve, it’s Jack. Jamster says ‘Yes’ to the deal, but says we all have to suck its malformed penis first. I said that would be OK.”

    LEVEL 50 WORLD OF WARCRAFT PLAYERS ARE ALL BLUE-HAIRED GIRLS WITH BIG TITS

    …so says this FANTASTIC VISION OF A POSSIBLE FUTURE found on Gamepal, a site that lets you “rent” characters to experience life as a superior character in most major MMORPGs.

    'No, I REALLY AM a blue-haired girl with massive tits. Why won't anyone believe me?'

    PSP 1.5 HACK — HOW TO MAKE IT WORK

    Submitted by a reader who’s well into the hacking scene.

    THE SLIDE CARD TECHNIQUE
    Insert slide card into one of the small holes on top of PSP, take novelty Christmas flashing key ring, press button to initiate excruciatingly poor rendition of Jingle Bells, hold against IR Sensor for 3.6785 seconds EXACTLY, eject game. Put game back in again. Eject game. Put game back in again. Move the slide card about a bit. Wonder why nothing’s happening. Play special HAXXORED .mp3 for a bit, but it doesn’t do much. Sigh, give up, turn PSP off. Turn it back on. It doesn’t work. Panic, run about the room turning the PSP on and off wailing ‘OH SHIT I’VE JUST SPENT £250 IMPORTING SOMETHING AND I’VE ALREADY BLEEDING BROKEN BECAUSE I WANTED TO PLAY SONIC 2 ON THE BUS, SHIT SHIT SHIT’. Swap memory card over to the other one you were press ganged into buying in Dixons by Dave, who INSISTED this would work. PSP turns on normally, let out massive sigh of relief. Cautiously start the Mega Drive emulator. It’s working! It’s loading! Crow with joy! Choose Sonic The Hedgehog 2.bin, tears welling up in your eyes as the hallowed name flashes across the screen, SEEEEEEEEEEGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. But wait. It’s not flashing. It’s crawling. Realize it’s half FUCKING speed and games ten years ago were RUBBISH anyway. Fling PSP into a corner in a tantrum and cry.

    We are yet to confirm this works.

    REVOLUTION CONTROLLER — ALSO A PHONE?

    As the idiotic speculation/fabrication/LIES about Nintendo’s Revolution controller reach new depths of utter stupidity and headline-grabbing desperation, a keen-eyed reader spotted what COULD be the Nintendo Revolution Controller at a top secret test location in Bournemouth:

    We've lost respect for so much of the internet over this debacle

    The joke’s actually on THE ENTIRE INTERNET, because we don’t give a cripple’s toss about Nintendo any more!

    GOTHAM 3 — BREAKING SOUND NEWS!

    “There is nothing much to report on the audio front this time” says Bizarre audio ace Nick Wiswell, speaking to the internet today, reporting on the progress of Gotham 3’s sound from his little studio — which we can EXCLUSIVELY REVEAL contains a big Chao plush.

    We think he’s probably already finished doing the sound, and now just spends most of his day on the internet. How hard can it be to tape record a few exhaust pipes?

    GOTHAM 3 — WHEEL AWESOMENESS REVEALED! GENUINE EXCITEMENT EMERGES!

    Our last post on Xbox 360 Gotham 3 wasn’t meant to be cynical or anything, it was us doing a *GENUINELY ENTHUSIASTIC SMILEY FACE* about how great Gotham 3 is looking. We *liked* the tarmac! We want to drive around on our own for AT LEAST AN HOUR, just looking at the tarmac! Seriously! Why don’t people ever believe us when we’re being genuinely enthusiastic? *PROBABLY ONLY GOT OURSELVES TO BLAME FOR THAT SMILEY FACE*

    THIS IS WHAT WE’LL DO:
    We’ll drive into a corner really fast, skid, then drive another lap to see if the tyre marks we’ve just put down are still there. That’s always a great test and quite a fun way to spend an evening once you’ve got all your wanking out of the way.

    Anyway… the Gotham 3 Development Blog thing has been updated, now showing the SHEER AWESOMENESS of the WHEELS:

    You'll be seeing a lot of these -- FROM BEHIND, LOSERS!

    We played Gotham 2 for five hours a night over, like, four months or something crazy like that, and are REALLY REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to Gotham 3. We are being genuinely enthusiastic for once. We apologise for any confusion or discomfort this may cause.

    *GENUINELY ENTHUSIASTIC YET SIMULTANEOUSLY SAD THAT NO ONE BELIEVES US SMILEY FACE*

    GO HERE AND BE NICE:
