Today in Joystiq: April 16, 2008

by Ross Miller { Apr 16th 2008 at 11:59PM }

Evil foes beware, WiiMan Super Hero is here to fight crime. One thing we noticed: WiiMan and Trojan Man have two things in common: anonymity and the drive to make people put rubbers on their waggle controls. (Old joke? We couldn't help it.) Check out the highlights for today:

Fernando's Halloween costume???

Anni @ Apr 17th 2008 12:16AM

"Fernando Troll dislikes Fernando"

Gentlemen, I insist we cease production of tomorrow's morning paper immediately in the interest of this late break addition.

Raikage (LDF CRAB BATTLE!!!) @ Apr 17th 2008 1:14AM

...I was gonna say, Where's his mullet......

JK Fernando, you know we love you!

Ninjakamster @ Apr 17th 2008 1:17AM

Damn, I've only ribbed at Fernando a couple of times right now, and playfully. I guess its because I was the first comment that you think I think I loathe Fernando.

samfish @ Apr 17th 2008 1:48AM

Fernando trolls are often times more annoying that regular trolls is why.

Ninjakamster @ Apr 17th 2008 1:56AM

Its a ripple effect oh naked Princess Peach you. Fernando has forever changed Joystiq comments. Hey, weren't you naked Princess Daisy just recently. Reverted back eh?

samfish @ Apr 17th 2008 12:07AM

...and yet, there is no Wiimote bulging from his pants.

Hey man, we should brawl sometime. I'm available pretty much every night.

samfish @ Apr 17th 2008 1:47AM

I'll add you tomorrow night!
My code is 2793 0291 2277

Geist @ Apr 17th 2008 2:45PM

You know Cesaria, after samfish's comment, what you said can be taken in such the wrong way.

ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Apr 17th 2008 2:51PM

I like taking it the wrong way!

... wait, my comment just sounded really bad for me.

Wow, that is really freaky. I just finished having sex about 30 minutes ago in which the Trojan condom broke. I'm not even lying. Luckily, I didn't finish, but it's still a scary experience.

Fucking Trojans are awful.

Shmil @ Apr 17th 2008 12:18AM

We're all glad you shared that with us.
We're all so proud you had sex J, way to go.

Cesaria (SSBB: 3136-6466-5083) @ Apr 17th 2008 12:25AM

You made me LOL, Shmil. +1 for you!

samfish @ Apr 17th 2008 12:51AM

The first time is always awkward like that.

Lone Starr @ Apr 17th 2008 1:03AM

You f**ked a Trojan?

ScottyGEE32 @ Apr 17th 2008 1:13AM

I bet you started 31 minutes ago...

J @ Apr 17th 2008 3:03PM

Shmil: I just went through a pregnancy scare with my girlfriend and I get on Joystiq while she's taking a shower and I see a story about Trojans. I thought it was worth noting.

Samfish: Out of the last two months, I've been having sex with my girlfriend almost daily. Not that it's any of your business, I just thought it was funny how you would call me a virgin when you have a naked Peach as your icon.

Lone Starr: Technically, you are fucking the Trojan. I mean when you wear a condom, you're fucking latex and not skin.

ScottyGEE32: Actually, it probably wouldn't have happened if we hadn't been going for so long.

Look, I know many of you may be thinking "Who gives a shit?", but I just thought it was a crazy coincidence. Something like that happening is not something I'd wish upon my worst enemies, but I guess you all think it's a joke. Maybe it's not the most relevant comment, but it sure has more to do with the story than ripping on Fernando.
