Local Gamer Confused By Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace
EAST LANSING, MI – Local gamer Neil Jameson expressed confusion over the new Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace on Sunday night as he checked it out for the first time. Upon starting up his console for a few hours of Call of Duty, or perhaps a little Gears of War, he noticed the new page on his dashboard.
“So, there’s now a shop for my avatar?” said Neil. “That’s… cool… I guess?”
He proceeded to enter the store and take a look around. “Hey, I can make my guy look like a Clone Trooper!” he shouted excitedly to his girlfriend, Jane, who was reading a magazine nearby. He took some time to check out all the wares for his virtual persona, including the new “props”.
“This lightsaber is pretty awesome,” Neil said, watching his avatar wield the Jedi weapon. “But these pom-poms are gay.”
His girlfriend, who had put down her magazine to see what all the fuss was about, agreed. “I don’t think those are really meant for you, hon,” she commented, as the avatar danced about like Patrick Swayze in Road House.
Teabag Invaders

If you thought the only thing connecting tea and video games was the repeated lowering of your virtual scrotum into your opponent’s awaiting mouth, then you will be happy to hear about another association those two seemingly different things have in common. In a recent tea kettle design competition, a single vessel dubbed ONE melded an innovative concept with an irresistible design and walked away one of the winners. The Space Invaders-themed pattern (along with their other charming motifs) becomes visible on the pot as the water boils, providing a visual cue that the dipping of the teabag can now commence. In other words, the pattern appearing is to steeping as your opponent dying is to teabagging. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have something deliciously hot brewing for you. Open wide because it will be ready any second!

Halo Tattoos That Are Real Life Emblems
August 16, 2009 43 Comments
Halo 3 has a plethora of options available when playing dress up with your Spartan, one of them being a unique emblem that appears on your supersoldier’s right shoulder piece. That solitary picture proved not enough to satiate Mike’s taste for customizable images though so he grabbed his right arm, and his left, and marched on down to the local tattoo parlor to get a little work done. What he ended up with was enough to make any Spartan green with envy. The iconic Legendary symbol can now be found adorning his left limb and a custom Bungie-themed creation (a fist holding lightning, the Septagon symbol, and “Don’t make us kick your ass” in Latin) embellishes his right. I’m just glad he didn’t go with the grenade avatar that looks like a penis because that would have just been embarrassing.
