Do not aim at eyes or face

This is great. A gun that shoots plush teddy bears.

Of course, with a little “on site acquisition” these bears could become capable of grievous injury, perhaps even death. I guess it depends on how powerful the party crackers are. Sure, it’s better than rice.

But is it safer?

Update:

I know what you’re thinking.
“Did he fire six bears or only five?”
Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a Sunamiya, the most powerful teddy bear launching handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself a question.
“Do I feel lucky?”
Well, do ya, punk?

Shameless self promotion

I’ve got an article up over at videolamer about whether or not you should buy the xbox 360. I go through a few questions you should ask yourself, but as I read it now, I realize I completely forgot to talk about whether or not you have broadband. Ah well. That’s my editor’s fault.

Another thing to consider is, are you ready to be an early adopter? This is the first revision of the hardware. There will be others. As they work out tiny little kinks like overheating, the next model number of the Xbox 360 should be sturdier, cooler, more stable and less likely to consume you in green fire.

Just a couple of common sense questions. Questions that people don’t seem to be asking themselves when they consider the PS3.

Cooperation is good

It’s about time someone designed a game with cooperative play from the ground up.

I’m just surprised that it’s EA.
