• Facepalm: Games Radar - Paragons of Journalistic Integrity

  I had originally intended to make "Facepalm" a weekly feature, but the industry has been extra heinous lately, and well...you'll see. Games Radar is responsible for many of the most egregious examples of Diggbait, and this one surely hits the bottom of the barrel. Titled, "Video Games' Most Important Farty Butts", the article showcases flatulance from Boogerman, Beavis and Butthead, Wario and more. I think what most bothers me about this article are the words, "most important", as if any farty butt was worth memorializing. Read More...

• Facepalm: Gamer Grub Supports Your Cognitive Functions

  Man, do I feel bad for the copywriter at Biosilo Foods. I've written ad copy for the worst of them, but can you imagine writing this whopper: Biosilo Foods is a young, progressive company that is set out to transform the food and beverage industry. With revolutionary innovation as the prime directive, Biosilo Foods is building a portfolio of new food and beverage categories. Ugh. How soul crushing must that brand management meeting have been. So, Biosilo has a new product offering called Gamer Grub. It's a snack for h4rdc0re gamers, ergonomically designed so you don't spill Cheeto dust all over your man-boobs (Gamer Joke!). I'm grubbin' it!      Action Pizza! Racing Wasabi! Strategy Chocolate! Sports PB&J! What, no Survival Horror Strawberry? No Cool Ranch Dating Sim? Read More...

• Facepalm: Gaming While Driving

  Two Facepalms in two days? Madness! A bus driver has been supsended for playing a PSP while driving. HONOLULU -- Less than a day after KITV broke the story of a city bus driver playing a video game while driving a bus, the driver is on unpaid leave and being investigated Wednesday. The president of The Bus apologized for the incident and said he's "embarrassed" by it less than a month after another bus driver was arrested for drunk driving while operating a city bus.

• Facepalm: 360 vs PS3 Boob Physics Comparison

  Sometimes I come across things on the internet that just make me want to throw my consoles out the window and never play another video game. For those moments, I've created a new recurring feature: Facepalm. This comes courtesy of the scholars at Digg (where else?!). It's a video comparing the, uh, jiggle factor of Soul Calibur's leading ladies on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Why? Because, shut up, that's why. Insightful commentary: thankuvrylittle: In all honesty, the 360 ones definitely move in a more sexually appealing way. spikyvashy: I'll tell u which game has girls with some nice boobs, The girls from the DOA' franchise spvn: damn it's hard to keep track of all 4 of them at the same time... Hurr hurr hurr! The offending video, after the jump: Read More...
