Jack Rossi a Toy Designer and Manager for “Product Burger King Premiums and Promotions” made himself a Wii Proton Pack and Gun, why? Well I would assume to bust ghosts or to keep that creepy ass BK King at bay. Either way it’s pretty sweet and the good news is since its for his Wii, he can leave the controls nestled in there full time since no one actually has those things hooked up. Check out his site and see all the other shots.
When I first saw this sign, before even reading it, I was awfully concerned that the Japanese had banned Video Games on the subway. I mean that would have been weird even for them, the number one exporters of weird stuff. Fortunately it’s just telling all you otaku to play your damn Dragon Quest IX somewhere other than the door. Speaking of which when is that coming out here in the states? Once that’s out all I’ll have to wait for is an actual public transportation system to be constructed so I can start obstructing the flow of passengers.
To be fair I understand the dangers of stationing yourself in front of the doors and obstructing traffic. But this one, discouraging yuri-play on the train, I don’t get. It seems like such a win for everyone, including that guy who is standing continently behind that waist high divider!

In a news release yesterday Blitz 1UP, who itself has a history of game development, announced the upcoming games to be released on its brand spanking new indie game distribution portal. First new title is to be Binary Tweed’s Clover: A curious tale.
The current list of announced games under the Blitz 1UP label is as follows:
While the new PC version has improvements the original watercolored platforming puzzle solving Clover is already available on Xbox LIVE Indie Marketplace for 400 Microsoft Points in case you can’t wait.
Today on the Xbox Indie Marketplace we have for you three new releases. One of them actually even looks interesting, I’ll even let you pick which one! As per usual, we haven’t played any of these games yet and any analysis that takes place here is purely based on the descriptions and available screenshots. So don’t get your underpants in a bunch if we call your baby ugly.

Asteroid Capture appears to be Hungry Hungry Hippos in space. The objective of the game is to collect the most asteroids with your little space ship. It features up to 4 player multiplayer and I am going to go out on a limb and speculate it requires the multiplayer aspect to be really enjoyed. Developed by DevOur Games and has some decent screenshots over in the Xbox Indie Marketplace where it will set ya back 80 Microsoft points. |
As Easy As 123 BlackJack |

It’s Blackjack. It’s 240 Microsoft Points. It doesn’t have scanty pictures on the cards. Developed by Spring Games. |
Metronome HD |

Thats right people, thanks to the state of the art processing power of the Xbox 360, you can now keep time in HIGH FREAKING DEFINITION. Well that is to say you could have except it was mysteriously yanked from the Marketplace. The game went up on February 19th and has since disappeared rendering you completely incapable of keeping time in HD. I don’t know if it will ever show up again so I shall include the original hilarious description of Metronome HD here:

So it’s been a few days since we posted a Daily Fig, mostly because over the weekend we had something in the neighborhood of three on the front page and it really started to creep us out and we had ourselves a little self imposed intervention. So it’s sort of the not so daily fig at this point but having partially fallen off the wagon we are letting loose on you this fig of Lupin III. Lupin is the lead character in the anime of the same name who leads a small gang of criminals on various heists, sort of like Leverage and Hustle. I don’t remember where I saw these shots so I apologize to the source. To make it up to the rest of you I’ll also include a completely unsourced shot of Fujiko Mine.
Kirsten Dunst recently visited Akihabara. I don’t actually know how recently. I don’t really intend on finding out either. What I do know is that the video is pretty cool and potentially not terribly safe for work. Unless panties and boobies are not explicitly covered in your offices policies, in which case I highly encourage you to push the envelope! Maybe they will name the rule after you, who knows?
I thought she may be going for a cosplay of a character I wasn’t familiar with. She kind of looked like several. Brooks, being a man of the world(as it can be accessed via the internet) informed me that “it’s just generic mahou shoujo.” Whatever that means.
The music is meh, but the video itself makes up for it so check it out. Mute it if you need to.
