And I thought the RPG press was terrible. Good grief.

 

[Ryuken]

Quite disturbing as well is how none of the commentators below think that choice was odd.

 

[Jason]

I don't know. Wii60_FTW seems to be pretty sharp.

Best Shooter: GEARS. Best RPG: OBLIVION. GoTY: ZELDA TP! No Gay-RPGs or Fony turds? SUUUUUUUUUCK ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT HAAAARRRRRDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHahahaha...

 

[Admiral Rimjob POOBUM]

What in the blue hell is a Fony turd?

Has anyone here played Viva Pinata? I've no idea what it is like and the adverts I've seen for it so far have not enlightened me any more on this.

I saw a shitty video review... I believe it was actually on 1up, though I could be wrong. Perhaps Gamespot. It looked retarded.

 

[LCJr.]

The best I can tell is it's a sims/gardening game. Looks like you manage a garden to lure in wild pinata's and try to keep them happy. Wonder if they mention the whole being hung on a rope and torn to pieces by children with sticks part?

Once saw a video showing a gaggle of 1up "journos" flying back from some game show.. It burned into my brain.. Self important turds.

 

[kingcomrade]

Sims = Strategy Game :shock:

Pondering Pinatas

In practice, then, unlike the virtual pet games, Viva Pinata is about learning to let go of empathy. You have to learn to harden your heart. To me and my wife, who are coming by only occasionally to ask how things are going, it’s startling and disturbing to hear the glee with which the cute pet of an hour ago is now dinner for something else. Despite the many steps involved in getting a Pigxie, I had to beg my son not to sacrifice him as food just to get a Mellowolf. “What’s the big deal?” he said. “I can always just order another one.”

 

[Jasede]

Hot fox right there.

Focus: This can't be happening. WTF.

I don't believe i've ever seen such emotion from baby arm.

 

[Jason]

What can I say. I'm a very intense individual. Dig it.

(That title was stolen from an older Beck song, BTW.)

 

[Frau Bishop]

Beck made a song about 1UP?

@Jasede
That fox is underage, leave it alone!

It was actually about MTV.

MTV makes me wanna smoke crack

Fall out of the window and I'm never comin' back

MTV makes me wanna get high

Can't get a ride no matter how I try

And everything's perfect

And everything's bright

And everyone's perky

And everyone's uptight

I love those videos

I watch them all day



(What's the problem?)

Uh… I dunno just stop the tape…



Hey alright, MTV, whoa, makes me want to smoke
crack

Fly out the window and I'm never coming back

MTV makes me want to get high as a moon

Like a rubber balloon

Ah get that squeegee!

Everything's wonderful

Everything's grand

Everything's swinging

All across the land, you know it!

Bust out the biscuits

Strike up the band

Play those videos

Every woman and man



'Cause MTV, whoa

Makes me want to smoke crack

Hey, fly out the window

And I'm never coming back

Oh MTV makes me want to get hiiigh as a kite

Gettin' all uptight

Take it!



[piano solo]



Ah yea

Fake it 'til you make it!

Right about now

Steppin' into a cold-ass fashion

Ah yea, weed-whack that thing!



I work down at the video store

Making some change

With a sparkle in my step

And a smile on my face

Condominiums rising above

And those videos are better than love



Yeah! MTV… One

MTV, check!

MTV makes me want to smoke crack!
