Why are 'Booth Companions' Necessary?

Okay, I know what you're saying...well...if you are a guy I don't WANT to know what you're saying or thinking from looking at the image above.  If you are a woman...you're probably wondering why there are scantily clad women who look as if they have nothing else to do, but be scantily clad.  According to Brian Cresente of Kotaku.com, these are Tokyo Game Show's 'Booth Companions'.  Necessary? No. Weird and Pervy? Yes! But I'm guessing it wouldn't be a gamer convention without a certain degree of 'pervocity'.

Game Trailers/News: A Weeks Worth Of Crap

Cosplayers: Because God Has Off Days Too...

Seeing as its been a minute [or two] since I've posted anything...let alone all-things gaming related [which is REALLY odd]. I think I'll do a smorgasbord of [new/old] newsiness. Also, in the spirit of TGS being this week and me having two friends who are actually there...you may see a fair amount of postings relating to whatever trickles out of one of the year's biggest conventions EVAR!

Homophobia In The Gaming Community

[Warning: Explicit Content]

This is an interesting clip and study I heard about a while back from Flynn DeMarco of Gay Gamer.  At the beginning of this clip you'll hear a very small portion of a much larger and more awful collection of DeMarco's recordings while playing your average Halo/Call of Duty/Gears Of War video game.

This isn't surprising I know, this doesn't mean it shouldn't be talked about.  Personally, I'd like to make a recording of all the ridiculous vitriol I've experienced online once a group of people realized I was black. Unfortunately, I have not found the time as of late.

Video Game Reviews - Soulja Boy Tells Them?

Here we have Soulja Boy explaining what could only be loosely described as a video game review.  As a preface, I know Soulja Boy is still a teenager and has a lot of money and is an avid gamer...I know these things, but do you have to record yourself every time you feel your brain has 'yet again' spun pure gold?

This is what blogs are for people.

Shadow Of The Colossus 25 Years Ago...

From Kotaku:

"...it probably wouldn't have been that good. One of the other entries from The Independent Gaming Source's Demakes contest is this Shadow of the Colossus throwback. One can make the argument that graphics don't matter, but unless you're moved emotionally by parallax scrolling, some of the "oomph" when Team ICO's game gets ported to the TRS-80 Model III. Like the Portal demake Super 3D Portals 6, this one's freely playable."

Sega Dreamcast Anniversary - Remember The Good Times

So Many Good Things...What Went Wrong

Sega's last console which was launched September 9th in 1999 [9/9/99] had it's ninth anniversary yesterday.  As a proud owner of a Dreamcast I thought I'd make a small post about the 'good times'. Funny, I was reading specs on this machine and it really did have it all! Having it all wasn't going to save Sega's 'swan song' of a console though, no third-party support and heavy piracy ultimately gutted this machine before it had a chance against its PSone and eventual PS2 competitor.

Dairy Queen Tycoon - Dreams Come True Don't They?

Hmm...I wonder what's under that cone?

Having a girlfriend who often craves Dairy Queen, I find it this bit of news a great way to start off the week. I guess GameMill Entertainment and Spark Plug Games have teamed up to cater to what I'm sure is a very large demographic.  Did you like PC Tycoon? Do you have a cone or bowl fresh from Dairy Queen and are now wondering how to have this same icy-smooth excitement everyday on your PC? Well guess what? You Can!

Look...just know that a Dairy Queen Tycoon is being made and this is how it's being promoted:

“Our goal is to create an entertaining game that also embraces the rich history of Dairy Queen and its place within the community“ Brian Kirkvold, Executive Producer for GameMill Entertainment.
