The New York Times is 5 months late, because that's how long ago that incident happened.  They also missed the most important gem of a quote from the enormous douche, "Sexual harassment is part of the culture. If you remove that from the fighting game community, it’s not the fighting game community."


Yes, he actually said that.

I remember that. Good times.

^Homey. Did you miss my thread for it? In any case, we now have 4 VGPressers with that game.

That is a whole lot of people staring in a whole lot of different directions.

Replace those buildings in the background with explosions and it'd be the American cover.

In lieu of editing today;s podcast I am listening to our Nintendo E3 coverage. Excellent show. One of our best (albeit sans Foolz). Robio is great, hopefully we can find a way to get him back on again.

It ended up getting 54 listens (I am listening to the local version on my PC).

F*** man. When I started reading your post it said Homey and I thought: Homer is back!

Then I realised you were talking to travo.

BLOG: The designer of God Of War's Elephantaur was once bullied by an elephant

In a new PlayStation Blog post, SCE Santa Monica artist Izzy Medrano explains how the Elephantaur design has evolved.


But as he continues to discuss the concept, his mask of serenity begins to slip. Mr Medrano's true deep-lying animosity towards elephants begins to rise out.

"It's also not a commonly known fact that the peaceful and noble' elephants are, sometimes, total ****," he said.


"I had a bad run in with an elephant in Thailand that thought it was really funny dunking me in the river Kwai again and again. The locals thought it was hilarious, too. But ever since...


"I've known them for what they really are: the giant grey bullies of the forest! So as an artist I drew from my suffering and humiliation to really make this guy an evil bastard. It fits our God of War universe perfectly."
