Today in Joystiq: August 12, 2008
The Joystiq Team is pretty evenly divided on our initial reaction to a life-sized LittleBigPlanet Sack Boy. Some of us would run away, some of us would force a hug on the LittleBigGuy. We all thought it was funny that the big zipper in front is not how you get in and out of the costume. More shots at Gamekyo (Via PS3 Fanboy). Check out the highlights for today:

What the hell has that got to do with spell checker? You just mashed the keyboard hoping the right word would come out.
It didn't.

I figured a life-size Sackboy would be much smaller than humans...
Hey, what IS the scale for LBP?
Still, cool pic. :D
Wiinterfang @ Aug 13th 2008 1:06AM

Saria the Cat @ Aug 13th 2008 1:14AM
Would be super cute if it wasn't big enough to crush and strangle me in my sleep. ...Just sayin'.
samfish @ Aug 13th 2008 1:28AM
Oh God it's like a Golgothan Frankenstein monster with a zipper!
Jink @ Aug 13th 2008 1:40AM
Hi, my name is Jink and I've been banned for being a hatemonger. Ouch, that banhammer hurts.
Wiinterfang @ Aug 13th 2008 1:47AM
:(
Saria the Cat @ Aug 13th 2008 2:36AM
If this was an attempt at humor, you sir have failed and just made me really uncomfortable. There's nothing funny about raping little girls. :(
Shaq-Fu @ Aug 13th 2008 3:28AM
My grandma in Wales had a saying for this kind of thing:
fedda 'ch bagla at annwfn , 'ch 'n adwythig bastard
Which, roughly translated, means:
Enjoy your trip to hell, you sick bastard
fred @ Aug 13th 2008 11:41AM
Your grandma sounds like a servant of cthulhu!
CTHULHU FHTAGN!
j.howlett @ Aug 13th 2008 2:12AM
the zipper in front is for the stuffing, and hopefully keep power ups
Josh @ Aug 13th 2008 2:12AM
Why the fuck does pedophilia always come up when the Internet sees a picture of a little kid? Damn Internet people, fuck you.
dwhite @ Aug 13th 2008 11:07AM
Because more people could recognize Chris Hansen than the president. ( or the current wannabees )
ZENegade @ Aug 13th 2008 3:04AM
That picture reminds me of Bioshock (yay PS3 port!).
On that note:
LittleBigDaddy?
ShadowflareXIII @ Aug 13th 2008 3:41AM
Poor guy...
It has got to be hot in that thing...
Dominic Martin @ Aug 13th 2008 4:15AM
Looking forward to this game, I played it at an event. It is SO fun!
dwhite @ Aug 13th 2008 11:10AM
... and help yourself to some cookies and I just made tea.
ill trooper @ Aug 13th 2008 2:19PM
So cool how she's throwing the peace sign right next to her face, very Japanese photo-op style!
