This is insulting against us.

I reckon Weatherbox would probly prefer the controversial (not to mention misleading) term ‘The God Particle’. Seems more his style?

Note for Weatherbox: I’ve just realised it’s Higgs boson, with no apostrophe. Sorry mate, won’t happen again.

I’m confused – are people saying there are more pages to the magazine than just the one above? I thought it’d just be that page and blank on the back.

Oh. I get it. There’s 700 pages of adverts for shoes, pot pourri and handbags which are 1/3rd the size of you (this season) or the size of a Higg’s boson (next season). and maybe an article in which you have to answer a,b, or c to questions like this:
When you get home from a busy day at work do you like:
a) A glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a bubble bath with some Kenny G playing
b) Learning to cook from your DS
c) Having another go at shooting Wesker in the face with the fully upgraded S&W Magnum 500 to collect the Heart of Africa for 10k sweet sweet cash

If you answered:
All a – you’re practically Carrie Bradshaw, you go girl!
All b – you may be a girl, but there might be some doubt, eg large % of skin tattoo’d, nonstandard hair colour, springs in soles of very high black platform boots and/or side parting hair covering face to prevent accurate gender recognition
All c – checksum error

From that ONM webiste link above:

“Once you’ve finished reading all that, you can go outside and try out our great free gift?”

Something about that question mark makes the sentence incredibly fun.

I tried looking for the review on their website.

Unlike proper print magazines which publish their content online, ONM comes out with some “BUY THE MAGAZINE BUY THE GAME BUY THE MAGAZINE BUY THE GAME BUY THE MAGAZINE BUY THE GAME” etc shit.

Have you seen Official Nintendo’s review of Wii Sports Resort this month? It sure provided the laughs in the office yesterday. Every other sentence is ‘The controls work really well’. Fucking useless cunt of a reviewer.

Oh dear. The 2600 photo was all drafted up and ready to go, under the predictable traffic-baiting headline of “Two girls, one Atari 2600 controller”.

Three days is nothing, Three days is fast-track, VIP, personal service. I’ve used stuff that’s been sitting in folders for YEARS before now.

I found this game review for Madworld in that magazine:

Jack Cayman (Steven Blum) stars in this romantic comedy set in the busy streets of Varrigan City. He plays a ditsy assassin trying to land his dream job in the big city Deathwatch games. Add into the mix his on/off relationship with the presidents daughter and tension between co-workers sets this hilarious game up as one of the summers essential titles. A must play for sex and the city fans!
****

I think they missed the point :(

I note that Zorg hasn’t posted the other fun picture I sent him in the email (3 days ago) that contained the link to this. Or credited me with the find. Lovely.
