whoah i did not need to see that

fwacce @ Nov 9th 2006 12:27PM

Looks like that monster in the pit that ate Boba Fett.

Lex @ Nov 9th 2006 12:27PM

This is news why?

This is important for Joystiq reads to see, why?

All this post does is validate all the reasons stated to bother with this site.

Erik Novak @ Nov 9th 2006 12:27PM

Wow, and here I thought a guy who had the dedication to tattoo zappers to his lovehandles would be sporting a six pack.

Hinkmania @ Nov 9th 2006 12:44PM

Later in life he may think he's experiencing screen tearing, but it's just the stretch marks kicking in and separating the tattoo.

Dracula Jones @ Nov 9th 2006 12:36PM

I wonder when the baby is due. Oh!

Eih'Beir @ Nov 16th 2006 7:28PM

Aww, the orange model? Why bother?

number40one @ Nov 9th 2006 12:31PM

sheesh Lex, somebody forgot their methadone this morning

funkonaut @ Nov 9th 2006 12:36PM

Nice spare tire. Not.

x876543 @ Nov 9th 2006 12:36PM

This guy needs a waxing and time with "Abs of Steel" and less beer. Please overlords of the interweb stop the disgusting photos.

Journal Fan @ Nov 9th 2006 12:40PM

It's the Wookiee child Chunkbacca!

Is there a video of him on Youtube doing the Truffle Shuffle?

kokernutz @ Nov 9th 2006 12:44PM

OMGZ, so funny. Belly tats are hawt if you are all ripped up, but nast on people with tires, handles or muffin tops. Oh, I get it, you're supposed to grip the zapper at the handle where his love handles are. DURRR!!! Brilliant but going to be so un-funny in approximately 13 hours.

Saneless @ Nov 9th 2006 12:41PM

Jesus christ. If he gets any bigger, he'll be sporting dual Super Scope 6 tats.

Martin @ Nov 9th 2006 12:42PM

First of all lex, it is news because people havn't seen it. Why is it news that anything is happening??? 2nd off all, Joystiq is a videogame blog, not a videogame News source.

Journal Fan @ Nov 9th 2006 12:47PM

I think he's hoping you'll mistake him for that classic NES game, Dick Hunt.

A.J. @ Nov 9th 2006 3:36PM

This should have been one of those after the jump pictures with a warning.

and those light zappers are looking more like boomerangs now

Woody @ Nov 9th 2006 12:50PM

Ok, this person is trying to look like a hardcore gamer. But if he considers himself one, he should have had the grey gun tattoo on. Cause if you were like me, you had to hunt and hunt to find the gun when it first came out. Not buy a nintendo with the gun already prepackaged several years after the Nintendo was released.

thecheesypoofs @ Nov 9th 2006 12:54PM

My lawyers will contact your lawyers Joystick ...

Player1 @ Nov 9th 2006 12:55PM

Woody, if I remember correctly, when the gun first came out (the grey one) it WAS packaged with the NES and Super Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge.

Zing @ Nov 9th 2006 12:59PM

Why the hell is this news?!

This is BS...its some gay guy with zappers pointing at his.....nvm.

Joystiq, I can take the Anti-Sony Bias, I can take the Pro- Nintendo Bias, But this is idiotic. Only a 10 year old would post this as important.

NorCal05 @ Nov 9th 2006 12:57PM

If it was photoshop it would be on a guy in better shape

ronnie @ Nov 9th 2006 1:03PM

"Woody, if I remember correctly, when the gun first came out (the grey one) it WAS packaged with the NES and Super Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge."

You are totally wrong, the gun was out before that combo cartridge nonsense they shipped later. How would you play the original duck hunt cartridge without the gun?

JodyAnthony @ Nov 9th 2006 1:03PM

I guess I'm the only one that thought this post was funny.

Player1 @ Nov 9th 2006 1:04PM

What is all this talk of this not being news? I thought this was a blog.

And you're still here...why?

Show me where Joystiq promised to be the CNN of videogames...until then, just shutup.

Player1 @ Nov 9th 2006 1:07PM

I may be wrong about when the gun came out, but I'm pretty sure at some point they were packaging the grey gun with the mario bros/duck hunt combo. That was the point I was trying to make.

Saneless @ Nov 9th 2006 1:10PM

Regardless of when the gun came out, I bought my NES in December of '88 and it had a gray gun packed in with the Duck Hunt/SMB cartridge.

Geo @ Nov 9th 2006 1:19PM

Um, the barrels of the gun are really long, BTW.

Tucker @ Nov 9th 2006 2:07PM

Everybody duck! That button looks like it's going to pop off and fly out of the screen at any second.

Woody @ Nov 9th 2006 2:15PM

and my point of it was that the guy was late to the game to have orange guns. If he was really hardcore, he would have gotten the grey ones.

I was just making a joke. Like saying "I'm an old school gamer. I go way back." and have Xbox Controler S tattood on me.

Brogan @ Nov 9th 2006 2:33PM

Yeah because i bet the average joystiq read is well ripped, nothing but bumps of grooves, breaking walnut shells between you arse cheeks.

Lutraphobic @ Nov 9th 2006 2:38PM

Are you guys stupid? This isn't a NEWS site. It's a game-blog, which posts interesting things about games, which sometimes includes news, but not always. Stop bitching, seriously.

Player1 @ Nov 9th 2006 3:22PM

I think the size of his gut is a indication that he spends a lot of hardcore time on the couch. That's hardcore enough for me.

Thryon @ Nov 9th 2006 3:55PM

ROFL....

The thing that makes this even more funny, are all the comments on this post. It would be interesting to see what all the people who posted messages do look like with their shirts off. I am willing to bet, more than a few would look like our Zapper friend above...

Learn to laugh at yourself people, you may find that you will be filled with less hate and above all esle....it's fun!

bob @ Nov 9th 2006 4:07PM

Does he want to "zap" his balls off or what?

bill pullman @ Nov 9th 2006 5:50PM

pull triggers to subtract one video game weiner, please.

Bacon Bits @ Nov 10th 2006 1:35AM

http://knuckletattoos.com/wasd here's more gaming tattoos WASD knuckle tattoos to be exact, mine are the blacklight reactive set

WannaCub @ Nov 10th 2006 6:18PM

That's so hot!

Woo, thanks Joystiq!

BTW, that's not sarcasm, cause I love bellies!

Johnny @ Nov 10th 2006 2:04PM

@31. I kinda understand your point, but there's a huge difference in your analogy and what this guy's tats. The grey zapper may have been out before the orange one, but only by, what, two or three years at most? It's still an NES controller, and anyone who played it when it was still an active system can call themselves "old-school" I guess. When someone says, "yeah I had an NES back in 1987", you don't reply to them, "well I had one back in 1985 when they first came out! You just aren't hardcore, enough, dude." Cuz anyone who was old enough to actually reserve one of those systems maybe should get off these boards. My "hardcoreness" was determined by my parents buying me one when it first came out. That would make me 24 now...damn, maybe I should stop viewing these boards.
