Dad Won’t Leave Pinball Museum
Monday, 03/15/10

Without another word, he’s back at a new machine, and as we stared, confused, in his direction, we could make out his muttered “oh, the action is fast on this one” and “I haven’t played pinball since Rhonda got pregnant and ruined my life.” We looked at each other – Mom’s name isn’t Rhonda.

10 Games I’m Looking Forward to Making Fun of in 2009

10. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Because if there’s hooker-on-stylus action, I have a week’s worth of posts.

9. Henry Hatsworth
Because I’m insecure in my masculinity, so rather than just enjoying a game called “Henry Hatsworth”, I need to make fun of it to prove I’m not a little girl.

8. Scribblenauts
Because I can’t wait to see if it recognizes “dildo”.

7. Wet
Because the gross, gross puns reviewers will attempt in writing about it will make for a quote round-up to end all quote round-ups.

6. The Beatles Game
Because playing as Ringo Starr will either be infinitely sad or infinitely awesome.

5. Dante’s Inferno
Because unlike the development team, I’ve actually read Dante’s Inferno, and I can make awesome Vergil’s Aeneid jokes all day long.

4. Mass Effect 2
Because they’ve got to top that sex scene, and massive space orgies are a comedic gift that keeps on giving.

3. 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand
Because the complete implosion of someone’s career and credibility is always a good source of laffs.

2. Metal Gear Solid: Touch
Because nothing quite emulates the nuances of modern war as an iPhone clone of Whack-A-Mole with Metal Gear Solid characters.

1. Halo 3: ODST
Because it sounds like Halo 3: STD, and I am that fucking immature.
