Fun Leipzig anecdote, from an anonymous but totally journalistic source! Upon witnessing the bedraggled state of IGN's GC06 team at the Nintendo press conference last Wednesday, said source asked why they looked so wasted. "Dude," one IGN editor confessed, "Last night, after we landed, we hit the strip club, and watched two strippers suck hot wax out of each other's ass!" The IGN team then spent the next five minutes exchanging high-fives.

Why such an impressive gonzo tale was not posted as news on IGN's website by these princes of gaming journalism is anyone's guess. Especially since it's certainly more newsworthy than this: courtesy of IGN's news feed, comes this exciting announcement: the jacuzzi of IGN Xbox and 360 Editor-In-Chief Doug Perry is no longer functioning.

Doug Perry's jacuzzi is in dire need of repair and, at this point, is non-functional.

As a result, all bikini-bashes and super fun summer flings have been put on hold by Perry, the editor-in-chief of IGN Xbox and IGN Xbox 360.

"I feel drained, no pun intended," said Perry, clearly distraught.

He later added, "Actually, pun intended."

What is this pun he intended? Psychic seances with Lewis Carroll's disembodied spirit turned up no answer. "Whatever the fuck he's talking about, that's not a pun," Carroll ectoplasmically noted, his lower lip quivering in contempt. Has the hot tub been drained? Or is Perry referring to his own scrotum? It's really anyone's guess.

Only two things are for sure. One: this is an important scoop for one of the internet's premiere 360 news sites. Two: gaming journalism just found it's Bangs-Kael Frankenstein hybrid. Florian Eckhardt
