Lily Allen in Simlish; not as good as The Wu-Tang Clan in Arimatheic

Lily Allenis a London-born pop starlet who has recently rocketed to fame with her Spice-Girls-meets-Norah-Jones singing and the fact that she isincrediblyadorable. If you anthropomorphisizedthis puppy in a basket, it would be considered her frumpy older sister, and people would spit at it as the two of them walked down the street. Lily, being the incarnation of everything sweet and kind in the world would shield the basket o’ mcpupperson with her body, and would then buy it ice cream and maybe a yacht, for not only is she kind, wise and generous, she is also insanely wealthy....

Mario, but completely covered in fur thanks to Unreal 4

More weird engine tests Do you remember how manySuper Mario Bros. recreations litteredLittleBigPlanet? Mario is iconic. He is video games. So it’s not surprising folks messing around in Unreal Engine 4 continue to use the model. It’s more fun in these context-free situations, I think, thanthe last one, which felt more like the commercial where Mario jumps into a kitchen to drink your family’s hard-earned milk. The more cartoonish setting didn’t look great, either....

Metal Gear Rising demo to be found in Zone of Enders HD

When it comes to Hideo Kojima’s giant robot seriesZone of the Enders, I suspect people fall into one of four camps. Three of these are completely normal in the gaming spectrum; There’s a group that loves it passionately enough that (like most everything Kojima’s done outside ofMetal Gear) you could in fairness call it “cult,” another less enamored and a third who has no idea whatZone of the Enderseven is. The fourth category consists of people who would know the game better as, “the one that came with theMetal Gear Solid 2demo....

Most kids too smart to be ‘violent’

A recent study done by some Australians in Australia has determined that most children who play video games will be “unaffected” by their influence (meaning that they will manifest their urges in socially acceptable ways, like BDSM, joining the Military, and doing MMA). Only a small percentage of idiots too stupid to figure out how to be violent and get away with it are likely to cause problems. This problem would be solved entirely if the initial stage of all video games was designed by those insipid puzzle game makers, thus weeding out the children who were unlikely to realize that shooting people in broad daylight is a negative way to express their violent urges, rather than perhaps lurking and beating up hobos in dark back alleys, or even take up boxing and beating the crap out of underprivileged Mexican guys who are just trying to make it, man....

No kidding! Princess Peach is vapid and easy

This is not reflective of actual female behavior.Oh wait… Let me be serious for a minute and say that I totally respect women. This is all kicks and giggles at the expense of a fictional character. Neither I nor the video makers ofDr. Coolsexare misogynists. Welovewomen! And we aren’t saying that just to cover our tracks or hide our own insecurities.
