Survey says: AWESOME
Urge to marry, rising
I know I promised a PAX roundup and the Monkey Island interview, but I've been writing about trailer parks all day and have no time tonight. In their place, enjoy the terrific first part of Giant Bomb's PAX panel from this past weekend. Big ups to anybody who appreciates all the PERSONA 4 references.
If that doesn't please you, check me rehearsing new tricks with my labradoodles late Monday.
And if that doesn't do it for you, I have nothing for you.
'That’s why Katie Coo is a favorite'
The multi-talented and omnipresent Pat Gann today posted an interview with the Gregory Brothers, the four-headed New York City monster behind the outstanding Auto-Tune the News videos.
Their work isn't even vaguely gaming-related, but we sample their talents so capriciously that it's only fair to give them (and the Gameodactyl) whatever exposure we can offer.
So check out the solid interview, and kudos to Pat for having enough sense and PR panache to line it up.
Rapid climax, I choose you!
Chansey!
We're going to give podcasting our best shot sometime in the next few weeks, but all three of us are brand new to this thing, so it might be dicey at first. A little dead air here, a few too many minutes spent dwelling on the weather or sinus infections there.
So there's nothing wrong with looking to the competition for a few pointers, and it was while studying Rebel FM, composed mostly of 1UP staffers who were laid off during the massive January exodus, that I stumbled on this gem.
The challenge put to Rebel FM listeners before last week's show was simple: describe your sex life using only the names of POKÉMON abilities. The response over at eat-sleep-game.com, home of the podcast, was pretty terrific. You can browse the answers at your leisure, but my personal favorite has to be from "Jake," who apparently gave the Rebel FM guys the idea.
They took my pokemon moves suggestion, awesome.
Anyways:

Spoken like a tro Snorlax, Jake. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
I haven't played a Pokémon game since, uh, Blue, so I'm not up to speed on my TMs. But here in a nutshell is what goes on behind my bedroom door.
