I was sick and tired of the BioShock hype well before it was released. As Yahtzee pointed out in his hilarious animated video review, that much hype for a game doesn't get him excited, it makes him suspicious. I'm on the same page with him there. Check it out for the funny.

Corvus has a great post with some examples of what forum posts would look like if life was an MMOG:
Passing the bar is too hard! How do you expect people to access high level lawyer content if you make it struggle to get there? Nerf the bar!!

The stat bonuses to popularity don't stack correctly. I'm wearing white athletic shoes with a +1 speed bonus and a +2 popularity bonus, navy pin stripe blue slacks with a +3 bonus to attractiveness and popularity, and a button down green plaid shirt with a +2 to popularity. Yet, when I'm wearing them all my popularity bonus is -2. What gives?!

Worried that you won't be able to get a Wii on 19th November (US) or 8th December (Europe)? Wii Wii has 10 incredibly helpful tips that will help you secure one, such as:
5.) Walk up to every male gamer in queue, and kiss him passionately, then scream at him "ZOMG why have you not returned my 167 daily phone calls after we slept together? We had such a good time that night, you, me, and the 360 controller (especially if you're a man!)". Gamers don't like you to question their sexuality, so they'll probably scamper off back home to their mothers' basements"

For some reason, Amazon.com is now selling food (in conjunction with local supermarkets). People have been submitting reviews. Here are some of the funnier reviews of Tuscan Whole Milk...
Enter your text and have ace attorney, Phoenix Wright, declare it in court.
Here's one I made earlier. Hehe.
I want to get Phoenix Wright, but it won't be for a while.
I am still fairly busy. Things will not subside until after the first week of August at the very earliest. I am looking forward to the time when I will be able to play Guild Wars again with regularity and at length. :?

Said Alice via Messenger:
I just love that page that lists the funny WOW guild names. Any similar for Guild Wars?
I replied:
Dunno, but I could find out.
I searched around, but I could not find a list of funny/witty Guild Wars guild names. So I made one.

It's Sexy Soccer! That's right. Do you like football/soccer? Do you like girls? Now you can have both in the same (mobile) game!
From the press release (emphasis added):
Sexy Soccer offers three mini-games based upon spot kick, dribbling and keepy up skills. Players achieving a high score in each mini game see their female football trainer remove an item of clothing, providing an instant incentive to replay the game to earn an even higher score....
"The launch of Sexy Soccer coincides with the FIFA World Cup 2006 Tournament and provides a saucy and enjoyable alternative to the many serious football games available on mobiles," said Alan Welsman, Vice President of Marketing Infospace Inc. Europe. "Girls and gaming are two of the most established revenue generators within the mobile entertainment sector. By combining the two within a simple, accessible, fast and fun title, we've created a fresh approach to the football games genre for mobile."

My Assassin looks like one of those Narutards you see walking around at anime conventions, except she has cooler clothes:
