T-MW, the minus world, video game comedy, mortal kombat, Goro, Johnny Cage, Drunk

Ever double-fisted beer cans? How about double fisting beers while your other two fists hoist a keg in the air? Mortal Kombat’s quad-handed boss has your dumb ass beat. Sure, he wears a ying yang thong, no shoes, and athletic tape on his ankles, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be manlier than everyone around him. Imagine if you could chug a 40, pour a vodka shot, light a bonghit and throw up a gang sign all at the same time. That’s him in his element, which makes him the ideal party pal. He’s like Ogre from Revenge Of The Nerds but with less clothes. And hair. But added appendages don’t always equate to tougher tolerance and Goro has a long, long night ahead of him…

Super Mario Super Sluggers is on its way for Wii, but did the pumped-up plumber peak up his pecs precariously? The pipes he plunges into aren’t the only thing he’s mainlining these days! Somebody needs to bat clean-up for this overall’ed overachiever!

Before a new game hits the racks, it’s usually recommended that a consumer does some research before simply ripping it off the shelf, throwing their wallet into the air and running full speed out of the store. Video games are an increasingly expensive hobby and reading a few previews here and there can help save you from saving a chunk of cash and even more potential regret. All bets are off when it comes to shovelware, though. Misinformed mothers don’t even bother reading the back of the box, so why should we? Here are seven games we’ll never play but totally have no problem making fun of simply based on their ugly outer appearances. We doubt their personalities make up for it.

Well E3 was pretty much a catastrophic disappointment for all parties involved, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t get really drunk from free company catering and awkwardly hit on the last booth babe on earth.

Following Sony’s innovative use of Little Big Planet’s engine to show off their console sales data, the company has leaked a screen shot of another one of the game’s abilities: recycling unsold PSP software. This stage was created entirely out of sales flops and dusty old UMD movies, a format that was widely deemed worthless. Sony sees rampant piracy as the main cause of the landfills full of games, but several analysts agree that it’s mostly because the games suck. There are thousands of different combinations that gamers can create out of the failed medium, including a stage that looks like a giant Nintendo DS to remind them which handheld is better. Little Big Planet will be available this fall. Try to actually, you know, buy it.

It’s easy to just forget this year’s Nintendo conference, pretend it never happened, or ignore it entirely. That won’t change the fact that by and large, it was a miserable trainwreck of failure and easily the company’s worst in history. What went wrong? Oh, about a thousand things, really, but nobody has time to relive it. That’s why we here at the-minusworld.com have truncated the list into something a bit more consumable. Pure, concentrated embarrassment. Enjoy.
