Ever heard of game publisher Mastiff? I haven’t, until now. Turns out they gave $250 worth of pizza to gamers. Hey, Mastiff, where’s the love for me? Even though free pizza is now out of the question, you can still sign up for free $15 burgers. You know, the good kinda burgers. Hopefully ice cream will come next.

You know what? I hate most blogs. They’re nothing more than useless stories about boring people. But for every million boring one, there’s at least one that does interesting stuff that people should check out. Like, who would ever think about creating an 8-Bit Mario caricature out of floppy disks?

Guess those things ARE good for something after all.

Whoever thought of this must think like me be clinically insane. Combining pokemon and politics while insulting both and paying homage to none. What if this a precursor of things to come?

Remember how your mom used to say “You can have [insert new awesome game here] cause you already own too many games”? Well, this guy’s mom (yeah, it’s a guy) never said that to him.

I’ve been to a few pawn shops in my life, but I don’t think any of them were willing to bargain for a soul. Especially not for a Wii.

Is a Wii worth more than a politician’s soul?

There’s a certain nostalgia effect that 8 bit art has on us old fogeys. You young-uns out there just wouldn’t understand. What if life was a mix of 3-D and 8 Bit images?

Hideo Kojima makes a cameo in the film adaptation of ‘Azumi’ in Japan. Kojima plays the role of a bandit, and even though this is a bit old, it’s news to those who don’t have sharper eyes.

As part of an amazing game, Yahoo K Tie in Japan has launched a game known as “Bedroom of The Older Sister” available as a paid download.

The objective is to win a game of cards as the opponent strips down, and if you win the game: you get a special reward. A nice jerk fest and fuck fest with your opponent via images and animation. Lead the cause Yahoo!

Gamestop employees tend to say the craziest things from time to time. “Don’t buy the PS3 it’s junk,” “The Xbug3fixme is crap. waste of money.” But this one takes the cake.

In a prankcall to Gamestop by a seemingly carefree parent with a strong accent, the employee recommends that the guy beat hid kid with a frying pan when confronted with a situation.

Games are real, and can definitely help learn a few things aside. The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency beleives so, and has just ordered three PC-based games, developed by simulation studio Visual Purple.

According to a game’s creative director who spoke with Kotaku, the Activision Underground studios was deving a 3rd person shooter in the CoD series. The only problem was that it sucked really bad with the story being boring and every cliché element thrown in.

Soon after, the studio was closed down and the world was saved a couple of thousand headaches. Yeah, it would have only sold that much.
