ELECTRONIC ARTS IN NEW “STAFF ABUSE” SCANDAL

EA made its booth babes at TGS wear ill-fitting promotional t-shirts. She’s not wearing much make-up because she’s just sobbed it all off in the toilets.

ea-tgs-booth-babe-abuse

The poor thing. All she can do is take solace from being allowed to accessorise.

Microsoft opted for visible green bras, which is why it’s doing much better in the territory these days. Photos taken from a frankly disappointing Famitsu booth babe update. This had better just be a Day One teaser set before the men with confidence and proper cameras arrive and start telling them to lick their fingers.

DO YOU WANT A SECURE FUTURE WITH TRANSFERABLE SKILLS?

Who signed us up for a jobs mailing list? That’s not funny. It hurts. Do you think it’s easy sitting here on the internet for 16 hours a day watching people boasting about what they’re blowing their disposable income on?

Clicking on the link takes you here, which seems to be a front for getting you to sign up to a training course here. Unless you’re planning on moving to Canada in the next decade, don’t bother.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Do you want it wrapped, or is it OK to leave it in the Amazon packaging?

Your other present is a DVD. Not sure which one yet.

Wii YOGA GAME PROMISES “100% EXPERIENCE”

Anja Rubik will yoga you until completion.

wii-yoga-game-1

She is available for outcalls to your home from November of 2009, for an RRP yet to be confirmed. If it’s less than £40, that’s a very good price for getting 100%-ed by an international model.

wii-yoga-game-3

Anja is an international model who just so happens to be into yoga. The game’s web site has some low-resolution photos of her in more challenging poses.

wii-yoga-game-2

We would like to see her demonstrate the “Razzle pile up” with several of her friends.

wii-yoga-game-4

We are allowed to say all this because it’s for a game.

THINGS THAT ARE QUITE GOOD CONSIDERING THEY’RE DONE BY AMERICANS TRYING TO BE FUNNY#1: THE DEEPENING

That’s “The Deepening”. It’s an interactive video thing with presentation like a game, so you modern people feel comfortable with it. You can’t (or at least we can’t) embed the thing, so here’s a link to it and a still image.

the-deepening

“Hey there UK Resistance. I thought you may be interested in Atom.com’s new game, The Deepening. It’s an 8-bit-inspired, playable web comedy short video – think those old “select your own adventure” books, but as a totally interactive video game with multiple endings and paths that the user can control” – Atom.com person.

SONIC TOY. CHAIN STORE. BLURRY MOBILE PHONE CAMERA.

Sorry everyone, but this is one of those weeks (AKA months, AKA years) where we can’t be bothered to do anything other than upload the first photograph of something about/like SEGA in the inbox.

Hopefully at least some of you might enjoy looking at some girls’ shoes.

MAINSTREAM-SONIC

“Fairly ashamed, so will make it brief. Dragged to town. Standing awkwardly in ‘Next’ trying not to engage with the burger-munching-Jeremy-Kyle-set-public when I noticed this familiar little fellow. Yes, the photo is bad but a) It’s a phone. What do you expect ? An HTC something-or-other. And b) You try taking photos in the kids department of a crowded shop. People have been killed for less. And no, I don’t know why the whole scene has a pink ‘n’ fuzzy look to it. Maybe it’s the happy gas they pump into these places?” – Morgan.

“ACTION BABES FOR iPHONE AND iPOD TOUCH”

Suddenly we are ALL FOR the relentless dumbing down of consumer gaming product.

Discovered here, where they report on the small-scale furore that is kicking off over Apple’s refusal to allow TiTS on iTunes.

PS3 RIDICULED ON WATCHDOG

Here’s consumer rights MILF Anne Robinson having a right old go at PS3. The report is utter nonsense, but we’re obliged to agree with it seeing as it’s Sony getting called shit on national television.

WARNING: Contains Iain Lee at the 4:30 point.

Feels like we’re fighting dirty by using this horrific weapon.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG ART SPOTTED IN SOUTHEND

Down past Sainsbury’s on the left. Another boarded-up computer shop. It’s all bloody Dell’s fault.

sonicinsouthend

“I thought you’d appreciate this piece of amateur Sonic art I spotted just off Southend High Street, down past the Sainsbury’s on the left, walking in the direction of Westcliff. Classic Sonic The Hedgehog pose there only tempered with a shoddy understanding of solid, cartoon construction.”

“The shop is closed and has been for a while. I’m not sure how long it’s been empty, but photo 2 gives us a reasonable idea.”

“Photo 3 is the shop itself. That blue sign across the top is gone now. It probably won’t be long until the paintings go either” – David.

GRAN TURISMO ON PSP IS “PASSABLE 6.8”

Finally! The “killer app” to help PSP cement its place in gaming history as having a slightly better catalogue than Gizmondo. Sony shouldn’t have printed up the case inlays all those years ago, as “Passable 6.8” would make a GREAT quote for the box.

gran-turismo-psp-review

Well done, Chris Roper. You will have been expected to blindly love it, yet you bravely didn’t. If we had any merchandise left you’d have just won some of it. Sent in by Mr “Shine”.

OTHER QUOTES INCLUDE:

“…it pains me immeasurably to say that this is a greatly disappointing release”

“…I’m having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that this isn’t a great (or even just good) game”

“…the driving mechanics are great, if somewhat dated”

“6.8 Passable”
