"Hello, you've reached the Namco Bandai slash Bandai Namco offices. How can I help you?"
"Hi, we'd like to speak to the Soul Calibur IV designer, please."
"Is this Joystiq? Again?"
"No. Yes. Sorry."
"I told you to stop phoning. We are never, never, ever going to put Snuffleupagus into the game."
"Not even as DLC?"
"Sir, do you have a legitimate request for him? He's quite busy with intensive mammary modeling."
"Just one: Tell him it would rock if he would introduce Yoshi to Sue in the game."
"Alright, by 'legitimate,' I meant something that would actually make sense."
"TALIM it would ROCK if he could have YOSHI MEET SUE. In Soul Calibur IV."
"Who are Yoshi and Sue?"
"No no, Yoshimitsu. It's sort of a pun, you see. There's also --"
"Let me stop you there, sir. Was there something, perhaps an unexplained supernatural force or the imminent threat of death, that prevented you from asking the question like a normal human being?"
"Oh, come on! Humor is Taki that opens the door to a healthy relationship. Yoda last one I should have to explain this to and ... what was that clicking sound? Hello? Are you still there?"

That was hilarious, but what the hell was that giant HP advert doing between the home page and this one?! If you guys need money just say so, but please remove those!

It was a black page with a centre flash advert for HP Centrino laptops in the middle, and a skip commercial link in the very top right.

Ludwig, because the official committee is so short-sighted and will snob you, I whip out my own golden Nobel Prize and give it to you.
Ah, cold hands!

Another brilliant posting and another opportunity for my co-workers to think I'm crazy as I laugh out loud again for seemingly no reason to them.
Joystiq FTW!

A shame fighting games aren't as good as they once where.
SF4 and Brawl are all the industry needs now. There's no point in arguing that either, soz.
