Today

Video game fashion: it's not just 8-bit ties anymore. It's worse.

Stories

• Valve employees spotted in HL3 shirts out in the wild.
• Minecraft LEGO coming to stores. Someone contacted Notch and claimed they had the idea for Minecraft LEGO first, unaware that everyone already thought of that.
• Dragon Quest slime meat buns to be sold in Japanese convenience stores.
• The "SupaBoy" handheld plays SNES cartridges.
• 2.4 million players registered on SWTOR fansite.
• The wife of a Rovio employee has been seen in an Angry Birds themed formal gown. Pualo Saundres and Estella de Vrees are here to show off some more gamer fashion.

Coming Up

A Kinect modder released a hack to use motion controls in Skyrm. So it still holds true that the least awesome thing to use a Kinect for is actual Kinect games.

Trivia

• During Desert Bus for Hope 5, a fan challenged the team to an improv game where they took turns adding sentences to a story. The resulting soap drama included one "Pualo Saundres" in a critical role. This inspired Paul's character in this video.
• The piranha plant and personality sphere gowns from this video became the second and third examples of LRR cosplay the crew have ever seen at a convention. The moment was caught for this Loading Time.
